ed(1) but with a left pane and right pane, where the left had the content of the file and scrolled to where you are editing and the right is just regular ed output.

The urge to distrohop can be a distraction, but an itch that needs to be scratched now and then. I tend to always end up where I started, but when I do I feel better about it.

There’s no reception inside a person though, so you can’t call the phone to make it vibrate.

Does these costs count towards the högkostnadsskydd? (cost ceiling)

It makes perfect sense.

Do you know which packages and what defaults? I’ve tried to find the differences but I can’t really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.

What is in LMDE that isn’t in plain Debian out of the box beyond branding?

It did make sense at one point. They implemented a music player with a daemon part and a client part, so from that you had the mpd server and mpc client. Someone wrote an ncurses frontend for the client, naturally called ncmpc. Iirc that person abandoned it and someone else took over with a new iteration. ncmpcpp. But it really is a bad name.

For a long time I used the music player ncmpcpp. The name makes perfect sense if you already know what it means and how it relates to other things.

Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.

Cowsay as a Service. A Go microservice that lets you send form or json http post with curl or whatever to an api over the internet and in return you get the cowsay ascii art you requested.

I did the same thing, but with ubuntu. Now, you and I can troubleshoot issues and have patience. But someone who is sort of reluctant to begin with, it’s a hard sell if there are hurdles.

I’m actually thinking about switching from Debian to Mint. I’m thinking that if Mint is the recommended distro for people new to Linux, they will need a big community to answer questions in forums.

Well it takes like a thousand people to make Debian, so they’d need to do a lot of work.

If you only saved Mint, then Mint devs would have to do all the Debian work too?

Genuine enthusiasm. If you’re only doing things to make someone else happy, it’s hollow and pointless.

Yes, well, such is language. What word better describes the combination of devices where you carry out typical desktop computer tasks in a desktop manner? I’m open for using a different word.

Some people include laptops in “desktop” since it’s the same paradigm of the interface, especially if you hook up an external mouse and have a regular screen and keyboard. Laptops are still widely used. Some people use the term workstation. If 90% of people used linux on laptops for browsing, writing, programming, editing media, spread sheets, etc, I’d say that was the year of Linux on the Desktop, even if they don’t have a Compaq with a CRT screen sitting on their desk.

Do you mean as opposed to using phones/tablets, or do you mean like having a tower computer and peripherals? People still use laptops and stationary computers for work, like office work and computer related hobbies and anything like it. For doomscrolling and simple games, phones are more popular though.
