what operating systems are you running on utm? I've tried it, and for some it's great, for others, usually one of the bsd's, there's always some small problem. And the gui feels kind of incomplete.

Weirdly, virtualbox on linux was usually my go to for trying out other operating systems. It also felt like the most straightforward to use.

you're talking about a mentality among people, and I'm not in a position to dispute that.

But if you do watch the doc you will hear the stats they site about poverty. It's pretty damning. Brexit has certainly made things worse. And broke is becoming more and more accurate.

short answer....Brexit and a political class that hates the populace

And an economy that doesn't really manufacture anything. I know that others will have more statistics than me but Britain isn't really known for producing anything is it.

I might be in the same boat as you tbh. I will say, I like macos more than I thought I would, coming from debian. Also, having a terminal/zsh and being able to do some unixy stuff if I want to is a plus.

>I don't know why Linux documentation sucks so much

because you need to pay competent people to do it. As FOSS is made up of lots of volunteers, lots of documentation isn't up to the standard we would want it to be.

every windows after 7 is awful. ads and random ui changes.

yeah for me linux>>mac>>bsd>>chromebook>>windows

I picked up a macbook air m1 refurbished from apple to see what the fuss is about. It's a great machine. If not for that Debian would be primary OS, as it has been for the past ~15 years. I have one mac and a bunch of thinkpads running linux and/or BSD.

I don't have ads being pushed to me about apples products as I type this from my M1 macbook air. Apple is far from perfect, but in this specific case they are much better than microsoft.

>Can someone explain to me why Linux users seem so interested about having this long heated discussion about very low level piece of the OS infrastructure they actually have no expertise about and don’t really care about in a direct way?

lmao this is basically every discussion about wayland, systemd, the gpl, red hat, you name it. People feel the need to argue about things especially in the linux/foss world. reddit, hacker news, et al would have far less traffic if people didn't want to argue about display servers or init systems.

Allagash? Sam Adams? Budweiser (they have in operation in NH iirc). Smuttynose in NH? I feel like there are breweries across new england that if they stopped tomorrow would affect a lot of people, but maybe on a smaller scale. Of course people would buy something else, but they would still be sad to see it go.

Thanks for the links. I'm just an hobbyist, but Alpine is often marketed as being great for containers. Interesting to see another perspective

why is using alpine for containers a recipe for trouble?

what reddit is currently doing is worse than any recent apple mistakes I can think of.

On mobile, Apollo for iOS and rif(reddit is fun) on android are waaay better than the official app

this is interesting, even for a non programmer like me

in the former ussr?

same

>NDISWrapper

That's a name I haven't heard in a long long time haha

No, not besides keeping it up to date if/when things change. I think you do a good job of explaining the technical and philosophical differences between FBSD and linux

There have been times in the past when I've had far too much coffee in a day. As I've gotten older, I've noticed a difference in how it affects me. Cutting back is helpful.

this is my go to reply to people on different forums when they ask "why Freebsd"

I read this article and thought it was strange. This person drank 10 cups a day plus energy drinks. Of course he developed problems.

Everything in moderation, and ideally no caffeine in the afternoon

it's too bad they don't name the brands

working on gnome-keyrting might be important to them considering that the biggest commercial linux distros ship with gnome ootb

Same. On an M1. Loved my thinkpads but between the battery life and the screens, using a M1 macbook is like a different world completely.

>I found it very hard to know when to go fast and when to go slow, what to skip and what to include. The feedback coming through wasn't real-time. I kept surprise open-notes tests to gauge where the class was lacking.

Teaching is a skill. Over time you would be able to gauge these things easier.

Or you could do what some of my HS teaches and college professors used to do, and basically teach it how you see fit, and put the onus on the students to seek out help if they need it.

I feel like that would be the case no matter the school and no matter the subject.. In any class there are some students who just don't care, or are out of their depth.

I'm not surprised that many students in CC's are in fields related to health care. When I considered a career change into health care community college offered the easiest path to that.

>Community College is for people who are busy getting things done.

Exactly. Now that I am older, having the option to return to school while working is so helpful. Too add to that, community colleges generally offer one off classes, or certificates in certain fields that are really useful.

That has mainly been the purpose of the wealthiest schools. Elite sends their kids to the same schools, to be prepped for a role in society similar to the one their parents have/had. They're finishing schools essentially.
