@SuperDicq In many European countries, many old people had never encountered hot weather, thus did not know you need to drink more water and died; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave?useskin=monobook#France

Due to such a large death rate in the past, I figure extreme heat warnings are now posted for the entire country if any place is >30°C

  2003 European heatwave
  
  The 2003 European heat wave saw the hottest summer recorded in Europe since at least 1540. Spain, France and Italy were hit especially hard. The heat wave led to health crises in several countries and combined with drought to create a crop shortfall in parts of Southern Europe. The death toll has been estimated at more than 70,000. The predominant heat was recorded in July and August, partly a result of the western European seasonal lag from the maritime influence of the Atlantic warm waters in combination with hot continental air and strong southerly winds. By country France In France, 14,802 heat-related deaths (mostly among the elderly) occurred during the heat wave, according to the French National Institute of Health. France does not commonly have very hot summers, particularly in the northern areas, but eight consecutive days with temperatures of more than 40 °C (104 °F) were recorded in Auxerre, Yonne in early August 2003. Because of the usually relatively mild summers, most people did not know how to react to very high temperatures (for instance,...

@langoor GNUbooted KGPE-D16 - 6 SATA ports and you can add some more with a JMB585 card or similar that works with free software.

@anne_twain @yogthos Most plastics cannot in fact be recycled more than a handful of times - even if all the effort is taken to sort it into all the different kinds of plastic, it becomes uselessly weak after just a few cycles (just like how paper can only be recycled a few times before the fibres become to short to give enough strength - but you can just use paper as mulch or burn it after all).

Recycling is simply a ploy to sell more plastic - plastic should be sparingly used when other materials won't do, in things that are designed to last - it should not be wastefully used on utter garbage like a yogurt label, considering that there are many ways to label that doesn't release microplastics.

As for plastic that has reached the end of its life - it should be burned in furnace hot enough to completely combust it - anything else just causes microplastics to go everywhere.

I have some quite excellent "furniture" builds mind you.

@BionicNigga @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina >The vast majority of people cannot code, and they shouldn’t have to.
I agree that coding is a degenerate behavior.

The vast majority of people can indeed learn to program - they are just told that they can't and they should leave it up to the proprietary master.

A few decades ago it was discovered that secretaries learned to program in the Church of Emacs, when provided a manual how to use the editor, which they did not hesitate to follow, as it didn't say that want they were doing was programming.

>The myriad excellent software options available on a Mac
The jokes write themselves.

For software to be excellent, a prerequisite is not being proprietary malware.

You can quite easily have a functionally good program that is a disaster, as it takes the users freedom - which is clearly not excellent.

>it’s a pity you can’t use them because your rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset says so
It's not a pity that I haven't surrendered my freedom to apple.

That's like writing that declining to put your arms and feet into shackles and gleefully taking any abuse is a "rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset".

>is maliciously stupid advice in the era of 24/7 networking
It's something called not exposing the program to the internet via a firewall you keep updated.

>will inevitably cause compatibility problems as soon as you want to run a newer program.
The absolute state of the macos-addled brain.

As there are no proprietary restrictions, it doesn't matter what version of unrelated programs you have installed - you can have the most bleeding edge packages installed next to 20 year old software on the GNU system with no issues.

Even if you do have some old program with a cursed old dependencies, you do something called moving all the needed .so files into the same directory, or throwing the old program in a chroot with the old library versions and it will continue to work forever.

>computing experience on Linux, the operating system.
A false claim doesn't become true just because you repeat it over and over - that is a toddler level of thinking.

>macOS predates iOS you dingus.
All apple users have mentally been (i)toddlers ever since apple targeted the "market" of the hopeless.

@tyil @liw @bkuhn @richardfontana The problem with the FSF is that it sticks to its principles and refuses to shill proprietary software.

@SuperDicq @baleine @taylan >if you're working on a project anything posted on official channels should be about the project and not distract anyone from just getting the shit done.
But that is not what any CoC contains and requires.

There is no problem with a guideline advising that anything posted on official channels should be about or related to the project and that other posts should be made on other channels, as that is not a proprietary restriction.

CoC's are about demanding obedience in what people think and punishing any deviance, even if such punishment goes against getting things done - for example the removal of developers who make good contributions, but commit wrongthink and wrongwrite (which you can just ignore - don't read it if it's not a patch - there is free software that can do automatic filtering for you).

@BionicNigga @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina >Not if you can’t code
If are not willing to learn to program, you should not use a programming machine like a computer - it's like wanting to use a calculator, but being unwilling to learn how to use that complicated multiplication operation - you'll find yourself calculating something as simple as 5*5 by entering 5+5+5+5+5 and find that many calculates are infeasible to perform.

>if you don’t feel like spending the rest of your life patching obnoxious compatibility regressions
You have the freedom to simply just not update the software and therefore no further patches are required.

>in designing your workflow on Linux
My workflow is the GNUflow with the Church of Emacs.

>let’s see it let you drag and drop a bunch of differently formatted photos onto it and have it intelligently optimize them for web publishing
Imagine being unable to use imagemagick or GIMP and needing some proprietary malware to hold your hand.

>or transform text in whatever app you’re currently using
Yes, Emacs can do operations on text, although bloat.

>or search the text of your last n visited web pages
Yes, that can be done in Emacs Web Wowser, although bloat.

>or draw anywhere on the screen while presenting
Totally useless feature that is a benefit not to include - but yes there are free software programs that allows drawing on a Xorg session.

You can also present just fine in GIMP with tab mode and draw anything you want with the drawing tools.

>intelligently provide shortcuts to in-app functions
Yes, the Church of Emacs has keybindings available for most operations and it is possible to keybind all operations to whatever combination you want.

>task management tools more complicated than a stupid pomodoro timer.
The GTimer free software time tracker offers functionality that most proprietary time trackers lack.

>recommendation to run proprietary software.
You are a itoddler.

@p @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina I have to write it again and again and people still don't see reality - it will *never* be "Year of the Linux Desktop", as Linux is only a kernel that doesn't operate it again.

The year of the GNU/Linux desktop was around 1995 or so, as finally you could use a recent computer in freedom again - alas that freedom was savagely ripped away with the first of many proprietary programs added to Linux in 1996.

If a 1000% proprietary year ever results and what the prophesied "Year of the Linux [+ 9999 proprietary malware programs] Desktop" occurs, it's all over.

@taylan @SuperDicq @baleine The hate is the proprietary restrictions about what you must think and must not think and what you are permitted to write and that you are not allowed to write.

@U_Shino That's not a bad thing to happen, as it saves you from the proprietary software, although only for a few hours (but even then, not with iphones, as the bottom percent of the battery is reserved so that location spying can continue no matter what).

That problem doesn't exist on GNUbooted Thinkpad GNU/Phones - as you'll see that the plug light has not lit.
