100% agreed. If I see a compliment sandwich, I assume that the person using the technique is lying about the compliments and I lose all respect for them.

They give me more and more reasons to stay on W10 until I give up games and move to Linux permanently.

I’ll miss my TCMD scripting, though. But besides that and gaming, most of what I do nowadays is cross-platform.

I don’t believe either of those will happen.

Hopefully this will show the world that they are a bad idea. The price will be in blood, of course.

Thank you for your sane words.

Have a miserable year and get lost.

If you are unable to see the difference between occasionsl notes and full blown programming, this discussion is pointless.

If I really wanted to

Why would you, unless you really enjoy pain? I’m not kink shaming, but I don’t mix work and kinks.

Nonsense. Doing anything beyond minimal scripting in any device other than a full-blown keyboard is painful.

For programming?!

I think they’re less likely to be racist; OTOH what in the US qualifies as “left wing” would be right of center in the rest of the world.

Never gonna happen, but I would love to see countries removing embassadors from the US and closing their borders to their citizens.

Sadly I would have to be consistent and ask the same for my country (.ar), where our own delirious-in-chief is following to the letter Project 2025’s playbook.

“Lone wolf” attacks will not work

And also won’t happen. In the US all the “patriots” who have guns to “fight the tyranny” actually want their guns to kill the dark skinned people they don’t like.

I’d bet the percentages are the same all over the world where the right has won and is doing similar atrocities.

In Argentina the vote is mandatory and you only need to be a citizen and have a valid national ID to vote (and we vote on Sundays). The percentage of non-voters is around 20-30% every election.

We are legion. Argentina is going the same route.

Damn, we’re refining Fahrenheit 451’s “Families” already.

Adding an image to your post is not mandatory.

i really expected to make a preamble every ask-post that I’ve searched already?

Yes. You need to show your effort, otherwise your question will be considered lazy. This is specially true regarding technical issues in volunteer forums.

The seminal essay “How To Ask Questions the Smart Way” explains these and other finer points.

If you don’t show me that you at least made some effort to investigate: No.

So you’re spewing nonsense. Good to know.
