If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.

Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

Pick any of the more popular ones at random; it really doesn’t matter that much.

It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.

The Basque Country still belongs to Spain and Northern Ireland still belongs to the UK, so… no, I guess?

I don’t know enough about that cluster in the Balkans to even speculate on it.

god that’s stupid, sorry

Asking if terrorism works isn’t a stupid question. It’s a very impolite question (from the perspective of people in power), and maybe even heartless, but not stupid.

The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.

Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.

I still have almost no idea what PulseAudio and PipeWire even do, aside from them being two of five(!) different audio-related subsystems that any given sound problem might be related to. (The others being OSS, ALSA, and JACK, which I also don’t understand.)

Well, that explains the lack of farms on the Pelennor Fields in the movie.

TFW you put so many ads on your site it becomes “very minimalist” when they’re removed, LOL

Yep, top is Aziraphale and bottom is Crowley.

“Most Unices” haven’t been relevant for a decade or more. At this point it’s really just Linux, OS X, Android (to the extent it counts as a Unix), and BSD as an also-ran. Obviously OS X and Android don’t care about Wayland or X11 to begin with, so all you’re really saying is that BSD is getting left behind.

Those work fine in Wayland for me.

Meanwhile, my OS switched to Wayland while updating at some point and I didn’t even notice.

Aw, thanks! 😊

I assume you know, but Jimmy Pesto’s original voice actor was fired and (too briefly) imprisoned for Jan 6. He’s literally one of the traitorous turkeys Trump pardoned.

(This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads)

There’s a reason we have different words for “cooking” and “baking.”

Reverse the order of the panels and post it to !politics.

This should’ve been two sentences, max:

Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?

False. New York schools have used Arabic numerals for centuries because that’s what “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0” are, dumbass!

Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?

Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.
