We have implemented this new thing called clickbaiting. How do you like it so far?

Just ignore that crap and put some real shit into your headphones. Like The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us.

Play it loaded.

I mean it’s almost the size of that apartment building in the back.

(Or is it fore? Never quite grok’d any of that perspective stuff…)

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.

That might be true, yes.

Add to this tons of translations to different languages, not to mention different versions of the book in the same language. So it’s a massive buffet where anybody can pick whatever suits their taste.

Hail seitan!

Only on flag days though.

What’s even more interesting is that Chile is a long ass island in Europe. TIL, definitely.

E: The more I look at the “map” the more interesting it gets…

Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

Agreed. I think it could’ve been solved better. Although excessive use of -igi/-iĝi can make the language sound duller, so I guess it’s just what it is and that’s it at this point.

IMO, Esperanto could be used at schools as a “gateway language” to language learning in general. It’s simple and as logical as can be in grammar and syntax. The vocabulary stems mostly from Latin based languages so learning the most common root words help students build up their vortarojn for other languages as well.

That sort of utilitarian approach to E-o, instead of the more traditional, ideological approach could bring it more popularity. But I’m no teacher so this is likely not happening.

Yes, it’s not flawless. My personal pet peeve is that there’s no clear way to know if a verb is transitive or intransitive. Despite the shortcomings, it’s a fun and rewarding language to learn.

Nice touch including esperanto.

The downvotes just prove your point.

They should’ve checked this from the authority himself: Gary Busey.

And hence the term read-only Friday.

There’s also Xfce4, MATE, Cinnamon which come ith man, OS installers as an option. Not to mention various smaller projects (e.g. LXDE or whatever the cool kids use nowadays). Personally I’ve been spoilt by Awesome WM since 2008 and can’t live without terminal/shell.

Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click

Right click where? All major DE’s/WM’s implement stuff in their own way. The problem here is we don’t (and won’t) have a unified GUI that everyone uses, unlike the other two main OS’s. (Note: I don’t see this as a problem, more as a result of the FLOSS ecosystem being such a rich soil to build stuff on.)

I think Neal Stephenson’s In the Beginning was the Command Line has some valid points even today.
