And also ells, rods, cubits, paces, furlongs, oxgangs, lots, batmans… all with subtly different regional definitions (with regions sometimes as small as one village).
People used loosely defined measurements based on things like their own body parts or how much land they guessed their ox could plow on an average day. Things like mathematical convenience or precision were not all that important; being able to measure (or estimate) without tools was.
Garuda’s gaming spin should. At least mine runs on Plasma 6 + Wayland and I didn’t do anything special to get there.
There are some good games mentioned already but I’d like to pitch in Planet Crafter. No enemies, no time pressure beyond an oxygen/food/water system, just you and the long-term goal of terraforming a planet by yourself.
The award for almost-but-not-quite-relaxing goes to Hardspace: Shipbreaker, where you can fall into a comfortable trot after you figure things out – and then the storyline makes you want to strangle someone with their own necktie. But the gameplay can be very relaxing.
I think Latte-Dock has been unmaintained for some time now. It’s a dead project and maybe doesn’t even work properly with Plasma 6. So it’s a good time to drop it.
On the one hand I like the basic idea, on the other hand I think that some fundamental problems aren’t fully solved yet. There big use case are passkeys and direct password manager integration – neither mesh well with the idea of software that isn’t allowed to talk to most of the system.
I’m certain that this will be resolved at some point but for now I don’t think Flatpak and its brethren are quite there yet.
True, although that made people think that Windows 2000 was the intended successor to Windows 98 – me included. Not that I minded; in my opinion Windows 2000 was straight up better than Windows XP until XP SP2 came out. Anyway, Microsoft spends far too much time getting cute with version numbers.
They could’ve sold Windows 2000 as Windows NT 5 and Windows Me as Windows 2000; that would’ve kept the “NT X” versioning scheme for the professional line and the year-based scheme for the consumer line.
But the versioning scheme for the NT line is all kinds of weird in general. Windows 7 is NT 6.1. Windows 8 is NT 6.2. So we’ve established that the product name is independent of the version now. That means that Windows 10 is NT… 10.0. Windows 11 is also NT 10.0.
Okay.
True, but those are not the people the men’s is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can’t do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it’s trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).
The official Linux client has been discontinued. Microsoft’s official solution is to use a browser – they explicitly mention Firefox.
There also seem to be unofficial clients. No idea if those are any good.
To be honest, the first incarnation of Spaces was really damn good; they deserved some credit for that. Then they made it worse so it matches iOS.
Compared to other languages it’s still very barebones – but admittedly some of the bloat is also because the JS world is kinda set in its ways. I still see people use jQuery for basic selector queries and SASS for basic CSS variables.
Another factor is that developers these days assume that users have fast unmetered connections. Loading 800 kB of minified gzipped JS from ten different domains is seen as no big deal. When the cost of adding piles of dependencies is considered nil there’s no impetus to avoid them.
The lack of a standard library is really the worst offender. Most of a given node_modules directory is filled with middleware to handle JS’s lack of everything.
And it’s matched by .+@.+ as it contains an @.
Remember, we’re taking about regular expressions here so .+ means “a sequence of one or more arbitrary characters”. It does not imply that an actual dot is present.
(And I overlooked the edit. Oops.)
Legit answer. I like how BATB acknowledged the Silver Age and the weirdness of the DC universe without becoming a complete farce. It poked fun at all of it, yes, but it did afford it some dignity as well.
And the same can be said about its incarnation of Batman.
Which ones? In RFC 5322 every address contains an addr-spec at some point, which in turn must include an @. RFC 6854 does not seem to change this. Or did I misread something?
You can use a regex to do basic validation. That regex is .+@.+. Anything beyond that is a waste of time.
There’s also oh-my-fish.
If you’re deeply afraid of the AfD ever rising to power I’d say you fit right in as a proper German.

Okay, nicotine is now a Schedule II drug. You need a prescription to buy anything with nicotine in it.
Yep. I run Garuda and the main pull is that it’s a more user-friendly Arch with a lot of stuff I want to use preinstalled. I don’t really care about how XTREME it is or whether I might potentially get 1 FPS more.
