I like your username

So third-party VPN apps should be able to provide a connection without a persistent notification now, right?
Right?

Considering that even if it's moving slow the EU won't give its approval to that "fee despite not using anything from them"-charge.

The device doesn’t support pressure sensitivity

So the targeted audience is... no one? The regular pens are very much aimed at artists.

I thought it's some people defending LTT/LMG after their latest stunt (possibly single-handedly killing a startup)
Linked post is also locked for some reason

Better still they had actually taken it and put in into production in place of the code that CTO had written, and which was the basis of the “correct” solution.

The test was just a set-up for free work.

Skipping the dialogues of course

Why are you skipping the dialogue in an RPG?

I forgot Evernote was still a thing. Used it for a short while back in 2012 when there were not many decent note taking apps.

Qdb.us has gone about two years ago as well. None of these had remained?

Where's the catch?

Huh, wouldn't that mean that Theo is almost 3 metres tall?

We've had enough of USdefaultism over there on reddit.

announcement of a complete rewrite, which means we’ll never hear of the project again

A complete rewrite/redesign actually happens but with half of the original app's features missing

What about Google just releasing a stable and unbroken system for once?

Nope, long paths are supported since 8.1 or 10 person bit you have to enable it yourself because very old apps can break

Why would I use this instead of a Mastodon instance?

This is heavily dependent on your region, country, and airline. Some commenters immediately answer like you were in the US but those might not be valid for you.

If you squint at it the switch says "cuck".

Drive, a mile? To a whole hypermarket for eggs? I'd just walk down the 95 meters to the grocery store here to get those missing eggs

A larger town in the UK.

Sorry, what? Is that "lane" supposed to be a bike lane? That's narrower than most sidewalks. Also, about 100 metres in there's that lane merging in, what are you supposed to do then?
This is even less safer than op's photo because it forces cars to close pass bikers.

Because money.

Is this yet another "make something new bs feature to get a promotion" at google?

"Scott here!"

That's not really a problem outside of USA.

I thought non-breaking space ( ) was translated to Polish or something

I hope the Blood Dragon gets a proper sequel this time

  • apt will brick itself if it gets interrupted mid transaction with no clear recourse apart from a total reinstall, so try not to get greedy and Ctrl+C if it looks like dpkg is hung

You can dpkg -r the package you tried to install then apt won't complain about missing dependency packages for your app as it won't be marked for to be installed

trying to install any software that isn't already packaged explicitly for Ubuntu is a nightmare because there is no equivalent of the AUR for people to push build steps to and you're quite often left guessing what dependencies you need to install to get something to compile

There isn't a big global community repo per say like aur but anyone can host their own repos with PPAs, you just need to add them to your lists

Most apt quirks are there with Debian too, not just an Ubuntu thing. The rest of the things you mentioned are fair.

If you can afford a gun you can afford a holster

Doesn't that mean that the last man standing is the first to lose?
