I do exactly what you’re wanting with a smart thermostat integrated with Home Assistant. Because my old, horrible apartment is poorly insulated I have everything automated based on indoor/outdoor temps.

Honestly you’re just going to have to stop. It’ll suck at first but after 1-2 weeks it should be easy, and from there you won’t even want soda anymore.

It’s faster? For me it’s a lot faster to hit the share sheet and send a URL than it is to screw around with a screenshot (which is also larger and takes longer to send when using a slow VPN).

As a web developer it’s when people want me to code ridiculous things because they don’t know how to use files, their OS or their web browser.

Recently someone complained to me that they’d like a dropdown to be sorted a very specific way (rather than alphabetical) because it’s “too hard” to scroll through the undesired options. They don’t realize that by doing that you would no longer be able to correctly tab into the field then type the first few letters of the desired option.

Or another user who reported that emailing documents wasn’t working because he could no longer email them to himself through the website. He could’ve simply downloaded the document using another link (right next to the email sending link) but refused to do so because he doesn’t know how to handle the file after downloading.

People who take a screenshot instead of sending a link. I don’t want to see your crusty shitphone or Windows UI, thank you very much.

Or, as a web developer: users who take a screenshot of a problem but completely exclude the URL and/or any other identifier I’d need to actually find the relevant record(s) so I can hope to reproduce the problem and find its cause.

Office on macOS in general. Shit looks horrible, it doesn’t respect the OS it’s running on:

1. Command + click on the title of a window (document) doesn’t reveal it in Finder
2. Cannot rename an open document (what in the Windows 95 is this shit?)
3. The Open/Save dialogs are soooo huge and sloppy
4. The huge IE 6.0-style toolbars with tabs are fucking atrocious
5. Some updater bullshit that runs in the background all the time and doesn’t use the trusty traditional framework or the App Store

Happy I don’t need to swap .docx files anymore, I do everything in Numbers and Pages these days.

And on macOS people not understanding that just because all the windows of an application are closed it doesn’t mean it’s not running.

I actually love this design because there’s no need for a window to be there while playing music for example.

Back when I’d fix people’s Windows machines the first thing I usually did was run a standalone VNC server and put that shit on Ethernet. I don’t want to touch your nasty Cheetos keys.

IT deploying the shit hole GlobalProtect instead of a “real” macOS .mobileconfig that can run as an actual service and be on 24/7. Also IT not black holing IPv6 on the VPN (since they don’t want to support it) causing all the traffic to leak outside the tunnel.

The way I always remembered の is that it’s much like ’s in English. In other words 日の本 would be“sun’s origin.”

At first I tried to remember it like a reversed Spanish de but that didn’t work because I got it confused with で.

Like many others have stated, my (also redneck) school taught primarily Mexican Spanish.

As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.

This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?

What does that mean?

Even if everyone did it what I really don’t understand is how it makes a difference. Everyone can buy before or after the event no?

Just the fan over the stove?

“S-Q-L ‘aight” for SQLite?

Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.
