Microsoft has 18 months to convince folks to upgrade.

They’ll be lucky if I boot my Windows 10 partition between now and 18 months.

I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.

SQL doesn’t need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.

Yeah that’s a common one. If you’re into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.

Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don’t miss out on some handy shortcuts.

COBOL is not a current program language anymore.

I use all of these except ScrollLock.

What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?

Pixel phone which doesn’t let you install CA certs any more

Is that something new? I can still install CA certs on my Pixel 6. It does give a scary warning, but you can just click through it.

Machete

Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)

No idea why lol.

Mädchen is a diminutive, and all diminutives are grammatically neutral.

It’s the same in Dutch btw, and my girlfriend who is learning Dutch is frequently abusing this as a cheat code: whenever she doesn’t know the gender of a word, she’ll just use the diminutive and it will automatically be neutral.

Belgium, 48. I drive a manual transmission. I never had a car with an automatic transmission.

he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was

Oh he died soon enough.

I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don’t have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them. I don’t need that kind of pedantic hoop jumping in my private life.

I don’t think it’s possible with the current theming method.

The only way I’ve found to reliably delete a huge amount of comments and posts is to do a GDPR request for your data, extract the resulting zip file and then use the free shreddit utility to delete your data. The utility has an option where you can point it to the extracted GDPR data, and it will handle everything.

Because Mandrake was a Red Hat fork

Perhaps. It’s a legal grey area here, not strictly legal but tolerated in certain areas (red light districts), but it’s certainly not a socially acceptable thing.

It’s just really hard to believe a women asks if you’ve had sex with a sex worker…

I’ve been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

Yeah, much better to go: “What’s your name again? Ah Jessica, let’s see… Jade, Jane, Jasmine… ah right Jessica, here’s your stuff!”

“Why do you have this cable, you don’t have a iphone”

It’s like having some spare toothbrushes and women’s hygiene stuff just in case someone stays over. You’ll score points for being thoughtful, but on the other hand they’ll be like: waaait a minute …

Deleting your efi partition doesn’t brick your board. It just makes your disk unbootable, but you can always install another operating system and create a new efi partition.

I think you’re confusing with the special efivarfs file system that is mounted under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. If you delete stuff under there, you’re apparently going to have a bad time, because it directly deletes variables in your UEFI firmware which can prevent your system to POST.
