My previous workplace did the same thing around 2020 with the words whitelist and blacklist and some other words.

It was around the same time when there was news about GitHub moving from master to main/mainline as the default Git branch.

Someone had to carry out a study for that? I thought that’s common with ADHD.

Stress just turns on a switch in the brain which would otherwise be off no matter how much a situation warranted it.

He uses a version of Emacs called MicroEmacs.

I recall seeing his MicroEmacs configuration a while back when I was exploring options to start using Emacs.

Refurbished ThinkPads are available in countries where Framework, System76, and Pine64 do not ship.

Besides, ThinkPads are really well-built machines that perform well for everyday tasks at a fraction of their (or the aforementioned competition’s) original price.

I love my two machines, which are from before Lenovo took over completely. Their keyboards, port selection, and repairability are almost unparalleled compared to today’s competition.

Pardon me if I sounded dismissive. 1Blocker is good, and so is AdGuard.

I remember those being one of the first ones to do the job well, back when Apple launched content blockers. Wipr came much later, and I only recently switched to it (around late 2022).

• Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, 7 spanning a decade and a half.
• Ubuntu 10.04 going up to the release where Unity became the default DE (11.04, I think). Came back to 10.04, as it was an LTS release.
• Linux Mint Maya because of Cinnamon, and it was terrible.
• Fedora 16 to 25 or 26.
• Linux Mint 19

Been with Linux Mint ever since. It just works. LM19 was also around the time when I stepped into Apple’s walled garden with iOS and macOS.

On Safari for iOS and macOS, I prefer Wipr instead of 1Blocker.

It’s lighter, easier to use, cheaper, scores more on d3ward’s ad-block test (but that may fluctuate).

E: added specific browser.

some governments […] have been trying linux as a way to cut expenses

I have been hearing such news for close to two decades but not without news where many such organisations switch back to using proprietary software due to a mixture of reasons ranging from usability to politics.

Though I agree with your overall point, I can’t see why rounded corners (or the lack of it) might be a noticeable issue.

First time I am seeing Conan O’Brien in a meme.

The Hot Ones interview seems to have worked wonders for him and his show, regardless of which stills are taken from the interview. :D

I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.

The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.

It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.

For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.

Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.

I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.

Are those still being made? Can a consumer buy one?

That is a very astute observation, and I would not worry about the temporary decline for this very reason.

Also, looking at your username… ”can somebody please find Margot Robbie so that I can make sense of all this”

OP has used Ask the Audience lifeline, which has been anecdotally quite accurate.

Going by the comments, this is one of those instances where the audience is unable to arrive on a consensus. :D

Ah! Okay. Thanks for answering as well as for the context. :-)

May I know what game is being discussed in this post? The game screen within the post is too pixelated to make out what is being shown

I went through the entirety of the comments, and still don’t know what the game is.

Dr. Zack Snyder?

For some reason, I read it as “male baldness” and found it even funnier.

Where are the rest of the tips? Asking for a friend.
