So they will fight the fraud, and all the saved money instead of going to dead people will go to living people, meaning people will get more under these programs?

Right? /s

Let me try: Lmao. Uses a computer, still does stuff the slower way because learning new things is too difficult.

To be serious, I am looking for the best solutions for my use cases, not adequate ones. Yes dd works perfectly fine and as you noted doesn’t take long to use anyway. But just because it’s fine doesn’t mean other approaches aren’t better.

A GUI tool can offer or take a list of download URLs for common distros so downloading isn’t a separate step, it can check if the target device is a flash drive and not a hard drive by mistake, it can automatically choose the optimal block size for the device, it can verify the process by reading it back from the device, can show you the current filesystem, label, and usage of the target device to confirm, it can handle flashing to multiple devices at the same time with separate and total progress bars.

If I wanted to do all that on the command line it’d be quite a lot of commands or a sizeable script to write. Or I can use a simple dd command and lose out on all of the above. Either way it’s a worse option. I will only use dd when a GUI tool isn’t installed, or when I’m on a system without a DE.

It’s faster to drag and drop a downloaded ISO and choose the target from a dropdown, than do it on a command line. And get a progress bar. As much as command line is usually faster, it isn’t in this case.

Yes you can also get a progress bar on the command line but it’s more typing again, and realistically you need to look the option up every time if you use dd once every 3 months.

Well nuclear is great, so even “not much better” would be great.

Hmm, mount a network drive, or any drive? On Windows it’s a few clicks in Explorer, but I’m not aware of it being that easy on any distro I used. Always had to go into /etc/fstab manually

Oh? And you’re the authority on that?

Well yes, I am the authority on my opinions, just like anyone else is on theirs.

I do agree though that its not necessarily the same league as the others.

That’s what I mean, I don’t think it belongs next to Matrix or 12 Monkeys. It’s a run of the mill Tom Cruise action film. Very enjoyable, but it doesn’t break any new ground, in my opinion.

Oblivion? It was all right, and I recommend it, but I wouldn’t call it a mandatory watch, it didn’t have any special message

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

They didn’t. They moved it from the foreword to the final line.

To be clear, Google is absolutely evil, and the unofficial motto was always worthless. I am just annoyed everyone ate the clickbait reporting about something that never happened and is repeating it to this day. I guess “Google moved Don’t be evil Clause to a less prominent spot” doesn’t click as well.

The person you replied to just said China is not giving support to Uyghurs.

Someone: A is not supporting B. You: A is not bombing and genociding B and everyone saying so is lying!

Sure, but how is that an argument? You have neither argued for or against the claim that China is not supporting them, and comment OP didn’t say they are bombing and genociding them, just that they are not supporting them, so that’s a bit of weird thing to deny unprompted.

I mean, wouldn’t the game not happening be such a big deal that even people who aren’t normally interested would tune in just to see all the drama? I never watched it, but if such a protest happened I would likely be interested to see that.

To be fair, breadsmasher didn’t ask if it’s the public motto, they asked if they removed it. And they didn’t remove it, as it’s still in the public code of conduct.

Right? I keep a list of every single company/service that I gave my email address, physical address, or phone number to. Every time I give it out I add it to the list. When it needs changing I go through the list and update it in all of them.

They are no loops and repeated links to avoid. Every link leads to a brand new, freshly generated page with another set of brand new, never before seen links. You can go deeper and deeper forever without any loops.

Did anyone read the tweet? They are defending their decision not to change the name, because the change isn’t official. No, they haven’t “announced they will change the name”.

Yeah, you can logically conclude based on that that they will update it once it’s official, but the reporting is the opposite of what they said.

Surely I am allowed to sell fictional maps? If I can sell a map of Middle-Earth, I can sell a map of a fictional world where a Gulf of Mexico exists.

Yeah, the “may” totally changes it. If the jury thinks the defendant is not guilty, then it’s just a not guilty verdict, not jury nullification. For it to be jury nullification, the jury has to think the defendant is guilty.

Gamers Nexus I find often dragging on, they can’t seem to edit their videos well. The technical details are good and the reviews well done, but the host has such a self-important demeanor it’s hard to listen to. The recent shift from tech to drama/attack videos is also disappointing. Hardware unboxed and level1techs is much better in my opinion.

You say that, but it applies to any store website, and yet most of them are abysmal.
