Cry me a fucking river.

Turns out, that is how it works.

Me too, honestly.

Since you mentioned VSCode. I wanted to bring up VSCodium. It’s a fork of VSCode with no telemetry. Yes, it’s a full fledged IDE, and probably too much if you just want to markdown editor, but I use it for much more than that, and I think it’s great.

This is why I didn’t read it.

South Korea is the leading consumer and producer of farmed Codium (commonly known as cheonggak)

Search for that.

The full name is VScodium. https://vscodium.com/

Codium is a genus of edible green macroalgae.

Please don’t force touch design in me!

Are you sure your aren’t thinking of osmotic laxatives? Miralax, for example, is polyethylene glycol.

I have not. I use Fusion for CAD and CAM for a CNC router.

I’ve been learning GIMP to replace Photoshop in preparation. So far, so good, but there are still things about GIMP I just dont get. Like, it’s seems impossible to paint onto a fully transparent layer because the paint tool doesn’t modify the mask as it goes. I don’t even want that layer to have an alpha channel, but it seems like you have no choice if you want a transparent layer.

If you try to paint on a transparent layer, you just get… nothing. It’s so trivial in Photoshop to make a new layer and just paint into it, and I can’t figure it out at all in GIMP. (I really should ask in a forum, but I also feel like I shouldn’t have to.)

Being able to script in Python to simulate Photoshop actions is both awesome and crappy. It’s awesome because of how powerful it is, but crappy that I can’t just whip up an action in seconds to make a quick, repeatable edit.

I guess I’ll have to use a VM to run Autodesk Fusion. ☹️

I don’t get it. The above commenter said episode 3, as well, and I don’t see an edit.

It’s spelled coppp-out

That’s not comparable. The situations are quite different. Let me explain:

In your example: Windows. It’s basically the “default” operating system. Billions of users. Some of those billions are kinda dumb and will type in a command or delete a folder because the Internet said so. Ok, so you ruined the day of some dummy with a practical joke. Not particularly funny, but whatever, it’s just some dummy.

In the Linux example, here’s how it goes. There’s an alternative OS people can try out. People who are fed up with Microsoft. They install Linux for the first time, and what’s their first experience? Some practical joke ruins their day. These are the people we want! The good ones. The ones brave enough to try out Linux, and their first experience is a dumb meme that ruins their day, or week, and totally turns them off from the Linux community.

This is not the same as pranking some dumb Windows users.

That’s not googling, that’s ducking. Besides everyone knows you should get that kind of answer from ChatGPT.

Shit like this is why desktop Linux will never be mainstream.

I watched a video years ago where poor street cooks in SE Asia were “mining” cooking oil out of the sewer. They would refine it and use it to cook food.

Edit: It was China. I think I found the exact video, but it turns out there are a lot of similar videos!

Fun fact from the video: it’s estimated that 10% of cooking oil in China is “gutter oil”.

That’d be awesome! I’d pirate the shit out of a remake.
