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!

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 bought the K371 three years ago, and my current concern is the sudden degradation of the vinyl coverings. I keep them in a hard shell case all the time when not wearing them, folded up.

On the other hand, I wear glasses and have never noticed an issue. The arms of my glasses are very thin.

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.

Jewel of Open?

You know the quote…

Don’t tell me what I know! I don’t know shit!

Wait, is it something like “live long enough to become the villain”? Crap, I know that one.

I don’t take it seriously. I just don’t see why people would want to share an unfunny comic based on a complete misunderstanding of what the singularity is.

It’s not a meme. It’s a comic, and a bad one.

Also, since Brexit, the U.K. uses dollars.

We’re taking about the U.K.

Disability benefits are not “insurance”.

I/you

Pick one.

Meanwhile… decades in the past? Still doesn’t make sense.
