Software engineers call this rubber duck debugging

Don't you want the ability to see when your neighbour across the street gets home while you take a bath? The real crime is placing the toilet with it's back to the window, so now you can't take a shit while looking people in the eye who walks past your house.

Of myself of the now dead purpetrator?

In a single day, I can't worry at the same time about LGTBQ rights, palestinians, Ukranians, animal abuse, 100000 diseases that need research, racism, facism, basic needs for the third world, police brutality, the state of democracy, a migration crisis, climate change, polution, and many many many more things.

It is just too much to handle. So when faced with the horrors of the world for the bazzilionth time a day, I just can't bring myself to care anymore. If I did, I would be in constant stress about everything that is going wrong with the world. Instead, I throw away the booklets I get from the charities I donate monthly to, I tell the collector at the door I can't spare any money for children in Palestine, and I scroll past the post about how many children were raped in Ukraine today. Hence, I will come across as apathatic.

But that apathy is a survival mechanic, since without it, I would go insane.

There is also an art to keeping it short. No need to sit at a table for 5 hours. After an hour you should know if you want to go do something together.

Allow me to translate:

Top left is a thermal cycler. Basically it heats and cools samples at a given rate. This is primarily used for magic. Top right is the fancier version of this, it is for qMagic, so it can do the heating and cooling and has a magic detector for magic components that reacts to magic happening so you can quantify approximately how much magic is going on in the beige box.

Bottom right is a luminex. This uses detection of magic signals to measure magic.

Bottom left is the beige box where magic happens.

I doubt they do mich different than you do with their OS.

People are more motivated by feelings than actual logic. The person you are responding to even states that Ubuntu "feels good to use". That is some car advertisement level of feeling based reasoning.

Another thing is that people really hate it when things change. Especially a UI change. Every change in the Windows UI has been met with disgust. And if there is one thing different between linux distros, it's where they place all the buttons, menus, etc. So people prefer to stay with the distro they know.

But I love coding at work?!

The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn't) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.

It doesn't even make sense. Hypersonic missiles are good at being hard to take down themselves. But you don't need that to take down an aircraft. You need super sensitive radar systems, since the claim is that these aircraft reflect about as much energy as a bumblebee would.

The peak linux experience.

This is terrible programming advice.

When they defederated from lemmy.world, the stated reason was the open registration policy. Their registration process is handled manually. I suspect that they operate a much tighter ship when it comes to moderation. This has it perks and problems.
