I am not an explosives expert, but I’ve seen enough YouTube videos about explosives to know that not all explosives explode in fire. Some are incredibly stable at extreme conditions right up until deliberately triggered. It all depends on the type of explosives.

There may still be ways to detect them, but it’s not necessarily going to be that simple.

There’s likely a clearer error if you scroll up.

I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can’t).

I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.

That’s a good theory.

I don’t know 24, but 9 is:

Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there’s 12 I don’t know. I can only assume the multiple listings of ‘List files in current directory’ is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn’t feel right.

You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I’m sure such websites are out there, it’s too obvious.

Haven’t tried, I’ll take your word for it.

I like that Mint even has GUI for adding and managing apt sources and signing keys. Something that probably doesn’t get used much because whenever you need to do it, there’s only instructions for doing it by commandline.

yeah I was thinking, is it the one with a random sequence of letters, digits and maybe even symbols that I vaguely remember existed at one point? But I still do not care.

It kind of does.

I’ve heard someone say that they usually do this, first the standalone release then later on (days or weeks) they make the upgrade path.

If I remember correctly, the previous upgrade just showed up in the Update Manager one day. Personally I’m happy to wait a few more days to get a no-thinking-reauired upgrade.

When saying the name of a trans person, it’s when you use their previous name from before their transition. E.g. saying Ellen Page instead of Elliot Page.

Presumably it can also mean just calling someone by their previous name that they prefer to leave behind, even if not trans.

I have no idea who Musk’s child is and no desire to look it up.

Based on that photo I expected the woman lessons to be “fight, bleed, groan” too.

site isn’t loading for me, but I’m guessing it’s one of those “combine two things to get a new thing” games like Doodle God, but with AI answering on the fly instead of it being handcrafted?

There might be some double counting, but it doesn’t matter - this just illustrates the insane scale of these companies.

is Obvious Plant still active?

Windows’ might be complex, but it is NOT graceful. If you have notepad open with unsaved text, then shutdown will never shut down - but nothing on the screen will make this obvious to a non-technical person.

My guess: it’s a mouthful and not catchy. “Linux” is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With “GNU/Linux” I don’t even know if I’m supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say the “/” as “slash” or “plus” or “and” or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don’t know how to say it I’m not going to write it, and I’m not going to like reading it.

I can totally see the merits for “GNU/Linux” but don’t underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to “Ginux” it could stand a better chance, but then we’d have another gif situation.

and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it’s not even worth including
