I guess because they think they are superior and forget that human rights include their own rights.

So yea, the “because they’re stupid” answer sums it up nicely.

With a 24" QHD screen, text mode would be a tad weird.

They can, when they limit CO2 emissions as much as possible and compensatw for the remaining emissions by planting trees and other tricks.

Also, ‘being carbon neutral’ can mean several things:

• ensure the company doesn’t produce CO2 (net)
• ensure the company and the commute of the employees doesn’t produce CO2 (net)
• … plus suppliers
• … plus transport of the goods produced
• …

And so on,… it all is just how you define it.

My house is the greenest in the neighbourhood and probably in the country. That it has nothing to do with being eco friendly but more with the paint on it is just a minor detail. ;)

The window manager is just to fit a load of xterms on the desktop. (12 on my 1st desktop)

I’m not sure about the latter. I get drowsy when drunk and fall asleep. Others have a ‘bad drunk’ and get violent.

Nop, not here. (BTW that was in '89)

However when opening emacs in '94 I opened an xterm to kill it (on IRIX).

Keep using Linux, for the 30th year. Started in '94 with Slackware 1.2, RedHat 1/1.1 in '95 and switched to Debian at the end of '95 (0.93 R5 or R6). I was running OS/2 for my BBS in that time, with a link to my Linux system with internet since august '95. I had a terminal with null-modem cable next to my bed for IRC, 10 Mbit connection at my room. (campus of UTwente in the Netherlands)

Was fun messing about with that stuff.

3. Magic happens

I’m one of those that just can’t avoid using windows at work. At least at work they come with a very useful adition, windows sysadmins. They already learned that giving Linux apecialists admin rights. (It gets harder and harder to deny any Windows knowledge)

Haven’t used windows at home since 3.11.

You could build something that prevents people from being offended. Let them answer simple questions like are you offenden by . If they answer yes, no allowed to join.

I get the feeling that more and more snowflakes are easily offended and the nastiness is partly trolling as they like to offend. (and sometimes the offended like to be offended)

Maybe the only solution is sulfuric acid. (or alcohol)

Love the Debian conclusion. they just might deserve the superiority complex. (I have to admit, Debian is pretty stable)

BTW love the Centurions in WoTB, great tanks, all of them.

Fedora is the beta of CentOS, which is the beta of RedHat/Rocky.

Ehm, the French BDR G1 B? (picking a tank from WoTB, designed but never bult as successor of B1)

Make it impossible for people to use it?

Wherever there are people, there will be nastiness. No matter the reason, some are jerks just because they can.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up optional.

The one at work was a ‘2nd chance’ Kensington Orbit which was missing it’s top support, making it a tad unstable. I asked if that was by design, company gave a full refund and let me keep it. It’s safe at work, coleagues have no clue how to use it and it wobbles when in use. (When you don’t put a few post-it’s where the top support should have been)

I have 2 orbits with scroll ring at home, and a few marble mouses as spare. (But that scroll ring is adictive)

Nah, we’ll never get there. (When we do, major Y10K crisis. 💣💥)

Nah, nvi, once you go native vi… (most run straight back to vim ;) )

I’m feeling old, using vi since '89.

Did the same until I got an employer without flex spots, it’s now permanently at my desk there.

That takes me back. Years ago I used a xxodd laptop (running debian, biggest pro, it came without Windows license), Model M keyboard (spacebar cap wore out after 10y heavy use, have 10 keyboards spare) and logitech marble mouse. (Alas, as all good Logitech products, discontinued years ago)

Now running Debian on a i9 Gen 13 laptop with 24 cores, 64G mem, DasKeyboard 4 Ultimate, Kensington Orbit with scroll wheel and 2 24" QHD screens.

And guess what, I’m reading lemmy on my Samsung Tab S2 8", refurbished.

I have Intel for my laptops and arm in the RPis. No AMD in use here. (My ancient AMD based servers refuse to boot)

I should have written Intel/AMD, ‘the big, power hungry, stuff’ or non-arm. ;) I don’t want to waste memory for a desktop environment on the RPis when a simple, '90s window manager does the trick as well for the vnc server.
