As weird as it seems, it may partly be external pressure.

My precise height is 5’11 and a half.

Each times it comes up in conversation, I tend to say I am 5’11, but people close to me insist I am 6’.

I feel like nobody would insist if I was 5’10 and a half that I am 5’11, it’s just the magic 6’ number that make people weird.

Rough translation, but here it was “Ordinary Nintendo”, as opposed to the Super Nintendo

Could you share the method you used to divide a single monitor from the OS perspective?

If you got the script or wiki page somewhere…

I’m curious

One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.

It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

I worked in groceries story when I was younger.

But funily enough, it’s probably one of the rare times I’d have answered “yes”!

We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.

My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

NULL being “no money” by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$… well, it’s probably free!

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking “because I can”, not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn’t be surprising that being the case.
