As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.
I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?
That’s another benefit: no more meetings.
I’ve been a proponent of this for ages. It makes no sense to cross some imaginary line and suddenly time shifts. Time should change constantly as you move east or west, up or down. Everyone has their own personal time, which is constantly updated.
Bonus: no more daylight savings switch.
Exactly! Even the indicator light of my speakers bothers me during long nightly sessions. I want to see the screen, nothing else.
That’s a misconception. Farmers lobbied heavily against DST. Their work does not abide by the clock; they milk when cows need milking, and they harvest when there’s enough light, no matter what some clock says.
In Europe, DST as we know it now was first introduced by Germany during WW1 to preserve coal, then abandoned after the war, and widely adopted again in the 70s. In the US it was established federally in the 60s.
This is all glossing over a lot of regional differences and older history. But yeah, US farmers were very much against the idea.
I didn’t count them, but wired itself has a very impressive list of “partners” in their cookie disclaimer too.
Arch? You’re way too nica. A bare Debian netinstall and a link to linuxfromscratch. They have wget, so they can get started.
C++ would be called C for short.
I thought this might be an interesting read until I saw the blurb with 4 hashtags and 4 emoticons in just 4 sentences.
“This button turns on the light in the hallway. Sometimes it brings the whole house down on you, but we haven’t found a way to reliably reproduce this. If that happens just crawl from under the rubble, rebuild the house, and try again. This time the light should turn on.“
“Oh, and send us the log messages.”
I read your comment twice, looking for any tiny mistake to fix. How thoughtless of you not to include any.
This may or may not be illegal, depending on what the “this” is you’re agreeing to. As a simple example, if it is “you agree to functional cookies by continuing to use the site”, that’s fine. If it is “you agree to us scraping your computer and selling everything we find to China”, that is most definitely not legal, nor is refusing service if you don’t agree.
Literal decades ago I bought Sennheiser headphones. They were great. They later orders of magnitude longer than anything I had before. They fit well, and were foldable, making them very compact when not used. And they were cheap too.
When they finally broke down I naturally wanted Sennheiser again, but they referred me to their new brand Epos. I bought a headset this time, not just headphones. It was a lot more expensive, and I was terribly disappointed by the ergonomics. It’s also rather big, making it unwieldy when not in use. And they broke already, though I was able to fix it - they broke just out of warranty of course.
Of course this is just one anecdote, but it really does feel like another great brand sold out and became crap.
So what’s to stop them from setting all prices to 1 cent and having the rest as service fee?
Violations of privacy. Microsoft has that too though, so unless Google has wallpapers they need to step up their game.
