Looks like we've hit peak 3d printer

If we hit peak 3d printer articles then that'd be a good result.

But with a right-click you can switch to the greatest-ever rendition of the classic KDE Menu

Joe Sixpack & Granny Cookiebaker aren't going to do that.

Back in the days of Redhat 7, wasn't KDE good and gnome crap? I'll have to dust off that old machine that I use as a footrest and see what's on it.

When support for XP ended I tried various flavours of Kali linux plus most of the "spice rack". KDE wouldn't let me change anything, for some unknown reason, and most of the others were pretty restrictive in one way or another. I did keep brief notes, but I can't find them right now.

In the end I went with mate; it works by default pretty much like gnome 2, which I was used to from CentOS 5 & 6.

If you were using the sewers you'd presumably need some kind of submarine. There's also the minor problem of it getting totally covered in shite to contend with.

My enemy's enemy is not my friend.

Maintaining init spaghetti scripts is no fun, not easy either.

Been a while since I had to do it, but I don't recall it being that hard. I did have to look at a book.

But that's not the point. If systemd was just an init system and nothing but an init system, so help it God, people could either take it or leave it. They'd have the choice, one way or the other.

The problem is that when it has dependencies on your window manager, microwave & healthcare plan you can't simply unplug it and replace it with something else.

I always thought the choice of name was stupid, given that it was already in use for something else. The fact that you linked to the wrong one hasn't convinced me otherwise.

Having found and read the correct article, I think the name is the least of its problems.

Anyone here applied for job requiring it, only to find they meant the other one? And did HR even notice?

Wasn't he in "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off!" and "Man vs. Nature: The Road to Victory"?

This is a selfselfie. Or a selfie 2.0, if you prefer.

You sound like a grumpy old man.

To hipsters, all non-hipsters do.

The surface of the cylindrical part, however, is available.

You mean the bit that, in the old days, used to have textured rubber on so you could twist it to focus?

I thought light doesn't go through that bit.

Testing is what those square old mainframe daddies - the ones who witter on about aida and cowbell and 4tran - do.

It's not agile.

It didn't help that building a user-facing app that worked properly and had a decent UI was beyond them.

I had an E71, what a bastard.

Just take all the vowels out. Oh, hang on a minute...
