... someone enjoys looking at scantily clad women fighting demons in videogames? Especially if it's their only chance to get close to such an experience with women?
The Linux desktop is alive and well and its target audience is totally fine and dandy with it. I switched to Manjaro i3 a year ago and it's really good. And really really fast. Kde looks amazing and gnome send to be doing really well. Unity is dead, but it's not that we have a lack of desktops.
... and I can't shake the suspicion that there is a direct link here. I'm closing in on 50 and can observe the described decline in working memory first hand. It moves back and forth between being mildly annoying/funny and flat out scary. 45+ and your cognitive ability will decline in ways you yourself will start noticing. Prepare for that.
However I also observe that my thinking and perception of my environment has changed notably simply due to the fact that my eyes have gotten worse. And to the effect that the performance of each Eye has moved apart, with one eye being notably worse than another - *that* would explain the decline in synchronicity of brain hemispheres that appears to be the the direct cause in working memory decline as the article explains.
IMHO scientist should look into this particular link.
... is a third-world country. This is one of those ways. As a former natural born US citizen living in Germany I know what I'm talking about. And no amount of US self-hypnosis will change the reality of this cold hard fact.
Helvetica is best in the way that it is sort of kinda an acceptable replacement for Futura if you want/need an alternative and have money to burn for stupid and obscenely high license fees. This new one is no exception. I totally get and applaud IBM for calling it quits with this stupid shit and building their own font and releasing it as open font after spending tens of millions on licensing fees for 7+ decades.
As for Helvetica now: They actually improved Helvetica, AFAICT, that's neat, but Futura still owns the crown and will probably only lose it when we as a culture switch to a different alphabet or something. That's my opinion anyway.
I for one am sticking with Open Sans because it's just as acceptable a not-Futura Font and you don't have to deal with the douchebags at linotype when you use it.
... exclusively for anything mission-critical. That includes, of course, social networks.
Do not and never use your real name unless doing a regular online business transaction with trusted companies or in scenarios where you present yourself publicly online as a professional of some sort in an environment you yourself have total control over - such as, for example, an own website.
I've followed these rules for almost 3 decades and taught my daughter to do the exact same. There is no single online account I can't completely abandon or cut loose or migrate away from within a few hours without missing a beat. Anything else is bound to open up a world of pain if shit hits the fan.
... are still strong reasons to stick with Windows. People will skip generic Linux and move straight to chrome os, but that will still take a few years. Unless chrome os devices continue to rise in price and continue to ask 1000 Euros for a laptop with 64gb storage (no joke).
Have they finished catching up with the big promises for the initial release? That would interest me more than following some VR Fad before Factions, Space-battles and feasible multiplayer and such are actually up and running.
I wonder what happens when you try to trap the unwritten morals of a society in amber at one point in time, never to change again (or to change so slowly it's essentially the case). Will that bottle up repression in the people?
That already exists. It's called "Religion". And yes, it does pretty much exactly that.
It's a Linux Distro. Seriously. It's not that you had the solution for cancer and then lost it or something. I get that FOSS devs live off praise (I do too) but sometimes (most of the time actually) most people couldn't care less.
Would the world really be a worse place if Mint weren't around? Didn't think so. And I appreciate your work and you deserve respect and laurels, but, seriously, lighten up, it's just a distro. Based on Debian btw. Like a bazillion others.
Just to put things into perspective: A good friend and a young first mother died last night in Hamburg after a small army of highest profile medical experts fought for 10+ days to save her life after an emergency c-section due to severe acute HELPS-syndrome, after going 100+ blood transfusion, 8+ day long operations and an extra liver flown in from France. The child is alive and well but will grow up without her mom.
*That's* a tragedy.
Mint is just a distro.
And if you're burned out and emotionally exausted from toiling at it (understandable), quit and go find something useful to do. Like, perhaps, taking care of children who lack one or two parents (just suggestion). Oh, and thanks for all the FOSS devs out there making our lives easyer - you *are* heroes.
My 2 cents.... And what Seneca has to say to this you can read in my sig.
... birth control. It messes with the ladies hormones and probably messes with male hormones too. And it exposes you to STDs just as much. Condoms are the way to go. No condoms, no sex would be my rule as a lady. When I'm out for the hunt (not right now, found the right one and she's a keeper) I *always* have 8-10 condoms with me. It's the only way to roll IMHO.
It was a shame that they tried to ape Facebook. They should've done the exact opposite and let Google+ be a sort of high Profile social Plattform. I did like the features and app integration.... But I don't miss it too much either, despite being a heavy Google user.
Emacs vs. Vim anyone? Tabs vs. Spaces? (It's tabs, btw. but since the Space morons are always are quick to set the standards I play along when a project is standards compliant).
Bottom line: Quabbles like these show that we have nothing other than first world problems, which is a good thing. Be glad and perhaps help someone in need close by, but please stop debating this stuff for longer than 90 seconds per year.
We all remember those beautiful sleek end-user friendly and exciting products from Oracle, before evil Google came along and destroyed de poor liddle Oracle and their beautiful consumer products lineup.
Well, ok, it's not exactly IoT, but IoT is in smack-center exact the same position.
Point in case: Just the other day I saw an elaborate public-space add for a bluetooth operated brother strip-.label printer. Totally bizar. Expensive, complicated, error prone and obsolete in 5 years. Mine is 15 years old and has a keyboard built in and doesn't need a smartphone with a certain type of bluetooth connection and accompaning software to operate. It will last longer, is cheaper, easyer to operate (I only use it once a year or so) and works wether I have my smartphone or not.
IoT and this gas-pump thing and every other new fad that comes along and thinks that everything should be connected wirelessly and the net if applicable in any way, shape or form is prone to exactly this problem.
IoT is a fad and will come with tons of problems all very simliar to what cased this hilarious joke of a gasoline-heist.
What some experts are saying is that this round of tools is special in that they are better and finding new tools than us humans. So this time might be different.
We need to get going with some user friendly zero-fuss FOSS cloud solution that can replace Google, MS and Apple clouds and webapps with one install command. Think gnome/kde in neat and beautiful but for the web.
Beat the proprietary services at their own game is what has been long overdue.
Protein intakte*without* *exercise* may increase risk, but that's due to getting extra fat, not due to eggs.
That's like saying jumping in front of a red truck will kill you so avoid those and choose the blue ones.
Eggs are a perfect source of nutrition if you're on a diet and want to lose weight. Three trick is to make that one egg a day your only meal and then get moving.
Adobe has gone downhill ever since PS 5.5 and Flash MX 5.5, which was a fraudulent product IMHO And if missing animated gifs in affinity are a dealbreaker for you, I'm sorry, but you're smoking crack or something. Gimp costs nothing and will do animated gifs just fine. Better than any other tool in fact.
As for image editing I'm very glad affinity is pissing in Adobes soup just now and that Adobe is losing ground to them. Adobe needs to die in a fire ASAP as far as I am concerned.
BTW, of you're on Windows there still is the Corel Draw suite, a way underestimated powerful design toolkit.
Bottom line: stay the hell away from Adobe, there are way better alternatives these days.
