4 months agoWhat am I missing out on? I don’t mean this in a mean way, I think you are correct that I don’t know and am legitimately curious.
I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

3·7 months agoThe minority of Vivaldi is closed source from what I have read actually - specifically the stuff they have that makes its fancy UI work, but someone can correct me with a citation if that is not true.
They state that about 95% of it is available to be read where 92% of that is open source from Chromium, 3% is open source from Vivaldi themselves, and the last 5% that is not available to be read is Vivaldi’s UI.

Still far from open source or free software, but better than most people would think. I guess you would also have to trust them that it really is just the UI.
True enough.
If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.
Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.

I remember working IT, and every other week there was some announcement that looked like this:
Microsoft Pro Plus for Office is now Office 365 plus for Business Office 365 Office Pro is now Microsoft Office Pro Plus Office Dynamics 365 for Business is now Office for Business Pro Microsoft Windows Home Office 365 is now Windows 365 Home Plus
How anyone still manages that fucking licensing is beyond me.
I won’t buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.
Not really, it probably took me under 30 minutes to look this up.
A personal insult to me also isn’t an argument contrary to my claims about Switzerland, nor is it a defense of yours, so I will assume you admit you were incorrect in your claim about the country.
Furthermore, it’s not even very good ad-hominem in that I never even claimed that firearms are a good thing. I only ever contested that Switzerland is cultured despite it’s highly permissive gun laws, and cited sources showing that they do engage in a lot of firearm sport, and have personal access to firearms in refutation of your anecdote.
Since I never said anything about positive or negative effects of firearms themselves in this conversation, this means you have made an assumption about my personal point of view of firearms and are now using your own assumption as a counter argument to a topic we have not even discussed between ourselves at this juncture.
This is called a straw man fallacy.
To avoid that, it is best to stay on topic, in this case, whether or not firearms are accessible to the public for sport in Switzerland.
Please either point out where I made the statement that guns are good etc. to show why I am a “gun nut”, or cite a source in reference to your claim about firearm accessibility in Switzerland if you want to support anything you have said thus far.
Otherwise, feel free to just not reply to me.
I read your comment here and decided to verify what I know about this by going out and reading actual sources.
Based on many multiple sources, I do not agree with the heart of your argument here and I would recommend you read up on gun regulation, culture, and sport as it pertains to Switzerland.
While it may be technically correct that most firearms there are as you say (I could not find a source stating that), it does not mean there is not a highly permissive gun culture in Switzerland with a lot of private ownership.
People in Switzerland can relatively easily obtain and use firearms for the purpose of sport, including for those who are not from Switzerland and do not have permanent residence, and firearm sport is extremely popular there.
Children can also be lent firearms there for sport shooting.
Note that they have the largest rifle shooting competition in the world.
Note that while minors can’t acquire firearms, they can be lent firearms by their shooting club or legal representative and the firearm is registered in their name for the duration of lending, and then they can both transport and use it alone.
That does not sound like a country where guns are not used for “fun shooting” to me.
If you can produce citations for your claim, that would be great. Here are mine.

Switzerland has a strong gun culture compared to other countries in the world. Recreational shooting is widespread in Switzerland. Practice with guns is a popular form of recreation, and is encouraged by the government, particularly for the members of the militia.
Additionally, the Schweizerischer Schützenverein, a Swiss shooting association, organizes the Eidgenössische Schützenfeste, every five years and the Eidgenössisches Feldschiessen is held annually. Every person with Swiss citizenship, aged 10 years or older, can take part at any federal ranges and will be able to shoot for free with the ordinance rifle. Before the turn of the century, about 200,000 people used to attend the annual Eidgenössisches Feldschiessen, which is the largest rifle shooting competition in the world. In 2012 they counted 130,000 participants.

Firearms regulation in Switzerland allows the acquisition of semi-automatic, and – with a may-issue permit – fully automatic firearms, by Swiss citizens and foreigners with or without permanent residence.
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/02/swiss-guns/553448/
The laws pertaining to the acquisition of firearms in Switzerland are amongst the most liberal in the world, as well as being the most permissive in Europe.
https://www.fedpol.admin.ch/fedpol/en/home/sicherheit/waffen/waffenerwerb.html
Swiss gun laws are primarily about the acquisition of arms, and not ownership. As such a license is not required to own a gun by itself, but a shall-issue permit is required to purchase most types of firearms. Bolt-action rifles, break-actions and hunting rifles do not require an acquisition permit, and can be acquired with just a record extract.

Swiss gun culture has emerged from a long tradition of shooting, which served as a formative element of national identity in the post-Napoleonic Restoration of the Confederacy, and the long-standing practice of a militia organization of the Swiss Army in which soldiers’ service rifles are usually stored privately at their homes (it became the choice of the soldier in 2010). What started as a gun culture centered around defense of the country through military duty also became a target shooting and collecting one. In addition to this, many cantons (notably the alpine cantons of Grisons and Valais) have strong traditions of hunting, accounting for a large but unknown number of privately held hunting rifles, as only weapons acquired since 2008 are registered.

Affinity is one of the things i lost in moving from windows to Linux, but I’ve been getting by.
I bought a license before canva acquired it and quite enjoyed the software.
Really sad to see canva doing what everyone knew they would do to it.
Is English your first language?
No, it is not in fact? I didn’t know I had to submit my “I have spoken english since birth” certificate to you in order to have an opinion.
I’m going to go ahead and block you now, because if you aren’t an open racist, you aren’t far off.
I felt like more than the theme was common. The first panel and second panel are quite similar in that that both use “puke” as their term of choice over vomit, throw-up, hurl, spew, etc. In the first panel, both cats are stationary and making their statement about needing to puke. In the second panel, both cats are in motion while making a statement about needing to be in motion.
In the final panel of this comic and the final 2 of the one I linked, both cat’s make a statement of relief of having “made it” in time to throw up. The joke is the same, and is delivered almost identically, except the other comic delivers it better by splitting the last pane up into 2 in order to reveal the location.
The largest difference I see here is that the comic in this thread cuts out the additional work of having 3 extra panels without the text.
The theme, choice of words, and when those words are spoken in these comics align.
Furthermore, this has nothing to do with myself, I have no idea why you would say “get over yourself” when I am not talking about me. I can only assume you chose to say that to be intentionally inflammatory.
If you are that offended by me seeing more similarities between two comics than yourself, then I have no idea what to tell you.
I think they may have taken the idea from a different artist without crediting them (or vice versa, I haven’t checked the dates on which comic is older).

This is the first time I saw this same joke.
Hmm… This is pretty similar to this post I saved 2 years ago.
Similar enough that I feel like it might be derivative / a redrawing of this comic without accreditation by the artist.
This is beautiful.
I’ve been looking for exactly this for some time, really excited to try it out.
