What always pissed me off is the indentation/codeblock style. Most languages you can write in notepad and be fine, if you don’t use a proper editor in python, you’re going to spend time hunting down indent issues.

Vista was either magic or crap depending on your hardware/software needs. Almost no middle ground. I was supporting about 100 PC’s at the time, and it was a nightmare for work, but I enjoyed running it myself.

From a corporate standpoint, skipping it for win7 was a serious win for IT.

On the upside, the latest Samsung UI on android has something pretty close to Vista’s old task manager.

SystemD is pretty decent. I think the logging system needs some serious work, especially for server apps. NGL, I kind miss the console just shitting out files and letting me deal with it. I had to make a lot of changes to make really chatty stuff stop using system logs and handle it on their own.

better to find the antenna and short it out. jammers are at best illegal and at worst you end up leaving it on and fuck up someone’s 911 call.

Normal people really don’t like to donate,

I’m on a medium-small instance; if %5 of users donate a dollar a month, the hardware would likely be paid for.

If lemmy.world had %0.01 of users paying, they could probably cover their hardware, storage and network fees.

If you’re not paying the admin’s mortgage, it not that hard to chip in. Unlike the other “options”, no one is getting ad revenue or selling your data, if that’s not worth a cup of cheap coffee a month for 1:20 people they have their priorities in the wrong places. .
