If a file server breaks basic Unix tools it should be unplugged and put in the garbage.

Back in the 80s a professor at our college got a presentation on the concept of «write-only memory» accepted for some symposium.

Good times.

Very secure!

I think we don’t know if he backed up his data.

We do know that he is dead, though.

Unfortunately, I’m absolutely watching it :-(

It happens whenever there is a progress indicator. I get obsessed with monitoring and verifying.

I was 13, delivering advertisement to mailboxes (basically a newspaper boy, but delivering to every mailbox).

Most weeks it was one bag for my route. Except when the ikea catalogue arrived… I went back and forth and back and forth — that thing was thick and heavy!

Even with a single screen I sometimes want a video in full screen, while keeping an app window (email, excel, whatever) in a window in front of it.

right click -> "always on top". That's available by default

Well, that only works for GTK 3 or 4 apps. Thanks to CSDs and GNOME's refusal to implement SSDs, every app that's not either running in XWayland or a GTK3/4 app has its own decorations without the context menu with the always on top option.

There was some way of enabling always on top on non-GTK3/4 apps too, but I don't remember it off the top of my head.

You can use the alt+space shortcut to access the window context menu on any window, even if they are not a gtk/gnome app. At least on my system qt and kde apps still get some kind of ssd decoration that behaves somewhat like the gnome apps, plus access to the window context menu, though I agree things should be better than this and work more universally...

The same spine that makes companies say "No, I think we will keep our DE&I programs".

For that specific question, none. End.

So you don't believe in extrapolating from past experiences elsewhere? Good luck with that as you go through life. Personally, I don't do anything so formal as calculating Markov chains, but I certainly think that patterns of past behavior allow you to guess what other people are likely to do.

> You're legally required to let me opt out of that cookie. Unless it's essential to the site functionality, in which case you don't need the banner at all.

Isn't it even simpler: Unless the cookie is used to track, you don't need the banner? For example, a cookie used to remember sort order would not require a cookie banner, I think.

(It's not about cookies. It's about tracking.)

It's about being "essential" or not, not about tracking. Also keep in mind with enough preferences you could have unique or near-unique fingerprint of preferences which could be used for tracking.

«Tip-pooling» is common many places. This implies that tips is shared between employees, for example including the kitchen staff.

I don't think that's true in the vast majority of establishments? Tip pooling usually means that the front of the house staff pool their tips. Not that they share with the entire restaurant.

Yeah, I don't know anything about the majority of establishments.

My single reference is the Norwegian upscale restaurant Theatercafeen, which introduced tip pooling across waiters and kitchen. It was highly contentious when introduced by the restaurant: The waiters took the case to the courts, and it went all the way to the supreme court of Norway [1], where it was decided that the employer could decide rules for tip-sharing.
