Color me mystified. Why would you map the verb of an English sentence to anything but a function or method in a computer language expression?

RPN

data1 data2 function

Neither Forth nor I are actions.

Encrypt it and don’t share the key?

… or produce roadside banter in sell aisles?

Because it is easier to type and read than (*ptr).element?

yes.

I don’t like that they want to supplant the existing paradigm… Wikipedia is a human-generated information layer that teachers have always warned should not be cited directly (for one thing, it is continually being edited so what the reader sees is often different than what the person citing it saw). Google seems intent on making it more and more difficult to get past their interpretation of what the Web said down to the actual discourse occurring between different sources on the Web.

The existence of such tools is not something I object to so much as the removal of the self-directed search option.

Supply and demand curve… they have demand, time to start extracting cash from their cattle.

… they were just about to experience a floating point error when the sign was put up.

IANAL … but if you do use it, copy it to your own server so all those accesses don’t suck up the bandwidth of the person you copied it from.

Scoring makes no sense. faces are cute though.

I think I am in the SSD camp. I absolutely hate the latest trend on MS Windows to fill the title bar with various widgets to the point where it can be hard to grab the window and move it. As with the current trend in US politics to stretch the rules well past any previous deformation, give a CSD an inch and it will eventually lead to ridiculously-adorned windows.

… or the voice call feature will be deprecated due to the universal use of text messaging and advertisers will refuse to buy ads for a defunct technology.

Stable (Debian) means that when you get it working it is less likely to break when you update. A broken installation on a server is quite stressful. Downside for desktop/laptop is that it may not support the latest games and hardware.

Ubuntu is probably more stable than Mint, but less stable than Debian. Which you choose may be more personal preference than objective value.

Yes, but if you are happy with Ubuntu don’t worry about it.

• Open-source purity
• Stable
• Traditional
• Upstream sources for much of Ubuntu

Mint loaded Steam via the package manager and it worked out of the box for me. There have been some games I had to try different versions of Proton with, but I have never found that to be not true for some games.

Suggesting that her risk is going to drop by dropping soothing words for the lefty radicals falls to acknowledge the danger from righty radicals. Having the Cheeto pasting a target on her back means that such words will merely inflame the right even more.

Web search engine of your choice.

Keep in mind that every open source project scratches a different itch… they don’t exist because people wanted to collaborate for collaborations sake… they exist because someone (or some people) wanted a particular software capability. This means that many of them started because one person had that itch, but there are millions of itches so the projects that need your help very likely won’t fit into a convenient “top 100” list. Think about what you are interested in and search for open source software related to that topic.

No Kings is apolitical except for the idea that autocracy/royalty is un-American. As soon as you put it into a political box it will alienate a bunch of people.

Like when someone sends you a 500MB Excel file and M365 (32bit) on your 64bit work computer (where all your other apps are 64bit) won’t open it and IT doesn’t want to upgrade M365 because some add-ins they haven’t made a list of won’t work if they do?

Sometimes I just can’t excel…
