One of the main reasons I left Windows was because it kept installing Microsoft teams for some reason, even when I kept uninstalling it.

I hate Windows

@fullstackthaumaturge Yup, cherrypicking on a books' collection as huge as the Bible will get you justified to almost whatever you wanna do. XD I have a christian friend (which I love) who actually read the gospels, and he tries to do as Jesus did, or at least advised to do. He's, basically, an honest person and an awesome friend, he hangs out with us sinners, and we drink lots of beer (sorry, Jesus; no wine for us!). XD

Yep!

Name another editor in which I can type and click ⏯ to control my music :P

(Okay, that's not *why* I use it, but it's a nice bonus :)

@fullstackthaumaturge this is fine

@fullstackthaumaturge Yeah, for sure. It's just the deeper root cause.
But in the case of Malcolm Gladwell, everything is shallow.

@fullstackthaumaturge @blu256 "But, Mr. Lama... That can't be the reason!"

"Yes. And not. You know what? I don't give a fuck".

@blu256 @fullstackthaumaturge Here's a joke:

The oldest person in the world received a journalist's visit. First question the journalist did was, "how did you get to your current age? What's the secret of your longevity?"

"Well, I never argue", answered the oldest people in the world.

"But... It can't be just because of that!", exclaimed the journalist. The oldest person sighed and said,

"Yeah, fine. It can't be just because of that."

(That's my personal howto on "holywaring".) 😸

Some people seem to literally think the state has the moral and legal right to do whatever it pleases with total impunity because "sovereignty". Well, the state's never given a damn about my rights or privileges, so I fail to see why I should give a damn about its sovereignty.

@fullstackthaumaturge I know how to download the inbox, I don't know the tools to set up a local mailbox on a server that:

* Will download the email on an ongoing basis
* I could connect to with a desktop client at will to search mail older than X amount of years (I have to check what my data usage is for mailbox storage)

PRs that change the existing defaults really annoy me.

There's nothing I hate more as a sysadmin than applying updates that break my configs.

I don't care if you write an eulogy in the package message, and a poem in UPDATING. Once the
initial config is done, it stays that way, for better
or for worse.

The number one rule is:

Don't Break My System.

So, as a maintainer, when I say "I won't accept your patch with the changes that break user PoLA", that's what I mean.

So, please, don't keep sending me the patches that break USER PoLA, because:

I WON'T ACCEPT YOUR PATCH.

If you keep doing this, I'll simply (and rudely) close your PRs with "WORKS AS INTENDED". Which I really don't like doing, because it's rude and goes against my general desire to be all excited about patches and contributions.

Yo, Linux users! Hi!

On plan 9, there's a system-wide HTTP client. As such, if I sign in to a site in one web browser, I'm signed in on *all* of them, because the browsers aren't responsible for managing cookies. I can also see all cookies cross-browser in $home/lib/webcookies.

I'm not asking how to do that under Linux. 

I'm just amazed at how *obvious* this feels in retrospect.
