I work for a lighting and staging company and it’s different with each artist, some we hold on to for the artists, some are donated to us, most are kept on the tour trucks with the crew chiefs keeping eyes on them all the time

Sounds like a good time to promote a movie

Or is it?

Better fit

Of course, none of us would actually do that, but what I’m trying to say is that’s the threshold. For linux to become mainstream like plenty of users on here seem to vehemently believe, it HAS to start taking cues from windows, that means easier install methods, dumbed down and less terminal based procedures, and more support from mainstream and less open source software manufacturers. Otherwise the average person is going to look at linux and say “that looks hard.” full stop.

And I would reckon a lot of those changes would not go over well with current Linux userbase

Bet, go ahead and grab your parents or the nearest old fart you know who isn’t tech savvy and try to get them to install linux, libre Office, and thunderbird and attempt to use it.

$100 says they won’t make it through using rufus without help

This is absolutely the attitude he was just talking about, you can’t agree, then add a “but”

Linux is not the fix for all that ails you, and it’s especially not the fix for non tech-savvy people, which as a reminder, is most people. Lemmy is not a good baseline for this because we’re all savvy enough to get onto the fediverse in the first place, which in itself is very confusing if you’re non tech savvy or coming from a place like reddit, where things are so fundamentally different.( Which i know for a fact most of you have experienced at some point)

Oh cool a personal attack, that means you’ve definitely got your sources down and are arguing in good faith instead of becoming a whining 5 year old /s

I mean does it matter if you’re frank and say "its happening because you didn’t pay? Its not like they can go to the cops or something

Thanks but Im just going to go ahead and do my own thing. Everyone’s very insistent about doing things a certain way in this thread and honestly its unsolicited advice. Not everything is an XY problem :). I’m just going to install my different, unconnected libraries and tinker in peace

Well I mean obviously the answer is eggs

I love math so I was messing around with matplotlib, it’s very cool, I was able to make the Mandelbrot set!

Pips pretty easy in pydroid, thanks! I’ll have a look at requests, since I’ve been wanting to mess with apis

My man I think you missed the part about "I’m at work”

That’s assuming I want to build a project, right now I’m messing around with numpy building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.

I know, but this is the weird way I learn things

Wow the new saints row looks awesome

Uh … Yeah you got us… All a trick, darn guess our dastardly plan failed and you won’t invade Taiwan now

I just love the line, “grandpa zhang, who collects military and historical newspapers as a hobby spotted the documents at a stall”

Such a grandpa thing to do

• China’s State Security Ministry reported that two military personnel were tasked with shredding 200 secret military documents, but instead sold them to a recycling plant for less than $4 total.-

• A retiree named “Grandpa Zhang” then purchased 4 volumes of these confidential documents from the recycling plant for only 85 cents.- Realizing the documents were marked “confidential” and “secret”, Zhang reported them to authorities. The State Security Ministry then seized the documents.-

• The ministry criticized the military personnel involved for their “weak sense of confidentiality” and “greed for convenience’s sake”, but said the incident did not result in a significant intelligence leak.-

• The ministry used this incident as part of a push to encourage the public to report national security lapses through a hotline

I don’t usually care about news from China, but I did find a bit of humor in this

Uhh, ever heard of this natural selection thing?
