To generalise is easy. To spot colour in a black and white world is a bit harder but in the end well worth it.

And now the incident’s “debate” is here.

Me too, on Linux, but this was about Windows.

Or just use Hyper-V since it’s natively available and one should refrain from touching Oracle with a ten-foot pole. I know it’s just a means to an end but better to avoid bad vendors if at all possible.

Sounds like a comment on one of those tell me where you’re from without mentioning the country type of threads.

Not sure there is a joke in there. For some reason the question kind of surprises you and you have to quickly decide on the spot whether to have the receipt or not. So you end up winging it, sometimes having it, sometimes not.

Nowadays, I mostly decline but on occasion still end up agreeing, so I can relate.

Your guess is just as valid as mine.

The predetermined universe smiles when the book’s fate is being fulfilled.

Yes, one of the oldest tricks in the book is in use. Unfortunately it still seems to work.

Any experience on OneDrive Client for Linux by any chance?

Also the “we’re setting things up for you” or whatever user-dumb-hide-details crap the Teams PWA throws on your screen while launching is just… As if there was a live team of engineers carefully configuring your current Teams instance so that it starts up right. (A bit off-topic, but current trend of software “speaking to users in patronising manner” is annoying af. Unless it’s up to or exceeding HAL-3000 level, it should be abolished.)

Dave is a businessman first and foremost. I wonder how Pat is dealing with this sort of shit.

How to spot the EMACS user.

I think this is the eternal 1st of April.

Weird? Quite normie meme IMO. Maybe like 2 out of 5 at best. Even has a depression inducing spelling mistake in it.

Dogs learn words. When your puppy pees, say out loud, for example pee-pee and praise the dog. Do this consistently a few times when the dog urinates. After a while they learn what it means, and you can tell them to go by using the command pee-pee. The same with pooping, of course.

This technique applies to all kinds of actions. One of the more useful ones are the directions: when on a walk and you turn to the left, say “left” and “right” when taking a right turn. The direction commands can potentially save the dog’s life in case they get off leash in a high traffic area.

Good points. I should start to go to bed earlier. Always been somewhat of a night owl so I have to focus on that more.

If you need multiple files for testing a script or such: touch file{1..5}.txt

Wait til you find out about animal testing at large.
