And what whith the whole being "professional" as a value system, which I fear has often to be taken in the very narrow USofA centric PoV ?
I can't relate to the sentiment that everything has to be aseptized in order to conform to a very strict and dehumanized, bland and sfw (aka professional), just to cater to the work environment culture of a few.
If in your freetime you don't like something coming from an open source project that doesn't owe you anything, don't use/associate. If you don't like it in your work place, there's a reason you're paid I guess? Or change job, or do an internal fork.
It's probable that very few species will be able to adapt to such an abrupt change.
There seems to be no reason to believe that it's not.
On the contrary it seems most plausible that everything, including emotions, thoughts, decisions, are just chemical and electrophysical reactions. Thus deterministic.
This is extremely valuable to anyone who ever needed a book but could not easily get it for whatever reason.
You're free to contact book clubs from all over the world to locate and trade paper ones with you if you're not in a hurry, but you obviously don't depend on getting the ressource fast, reliably or at all.
It's just a few patches ahead RHEL, with packaged builds using the exact same Infra and QA process.
It's not RHEL N+1 beta as some disingenuous people have argued
But anyway, shouldn't it be considered good form to keep random unfalsifiable beliefs to oneself since they can't be part of a conversation on reality?
Your figure of "<10k" that you consider as "minor" shows that you have no idea how people get by. They were kind enough to explain in advance how they would proceed if the complainant pursued in their misguided attack, how more agreeable do you want them to be without similar complaints drowning them out?
One of the first things I do on a new device is to disable animations and similar "eye candy". On Gnome it's hidden, but can be changed with gnome-tweek-tools ; on Android it's hidden too, in the developer options that you have to unlock (7 taps on build number).
In both cases, those animations easily lose frames and are distracting, without talking about the frivolous power spending on portable devices, but they are enabled by default and not easily removed.
It bugs me to jo end that wrong priorities seem to apparently be the norm.
I would not feel at ease walking around with 10k€
In fact I would find it extremely suspicious if someone told me it's their preferred method to get paid. I would totally expect a mugging.
Usually the sound of action movies is too strong for me in theaters and I hate the experience ; I also never got the argument about special effects being better there. I can see them as well detailed on my computer screen, unless you're going to one of those ultra rare 8k laser room.
However, I genuinely really enjoyed seeing Michael Moore and Woody Allen movies in theater. I also loved seeing Lost in Translation on a big screen (and it's opening!, but you could argue that scene was going for the cinematic experience :p)
