Fair enough! I’m an English second language speaker too, I understand the struggle!

But to answer about relevance: to me, text editors are just tools. I don’t really care which one you use, as long as you do the job well. I use vim (or honestly, mostly vim bindings) everywhere I can as they’re just second nature to me at this point, and I go around text much quicker when thinking in text objects than the typical Ctrl+Alt+… shortcuts. I could just as well work with Notepad++, it’s just gonna slow me down.

So in that sense, it’s just like a pencil. Some have preferences as to which pencils they like to write with. I like fountain pens and mechanical pencils. You seem to prefer graphite pencils, and guess you probably prefer ball pens ;)

Yeah, same. I have literally zero use for it outside tinkering, and knowing myself, I’ll play with it for a couple of days, then forget it in a drawer, rinse and repeat every handful of months. It’s just expensive enough that it feels pretty wasteful to do so lol
Technically, no, indeed. On paper, most (outside UNIX purists) refer to it (and MINIX) as Unix-like, as they don’t share much from UNIX outside the underlying philosophy. Ritchie himself still thought of Linux as mostly Unix in essence.

My wife told me the most impressive and the most annoying thing about me both is the amount of random knowledge that comes out of my mouth. If only she knew how much time I spent on Wikipedia since that site became a thing. And just following links around before that…
The Docker engine itself, meaning the dockerd daemon, its APIs and the docker CLI, are all under Apache 2.0. The non-free parts are mostly in their Docker Desktop offering, which is mostly a convenience GUI and not absolutely necessary (the easiest, on Windows and macOS, probably, but not the only one) to run Docker on most platforms.

“We will not risk plunging our homes, our schools, our hospitals, our special care homes, our businesses into the cold and darkness because of the ideological whims of others,” the speech said.

The Saskatchewan Party’s government’s throne speech claimed new federal regulations will kill thousands of jobs and devastate the province’s resource sector which the government says is already following some of the most environmentally-friendly practices in the world.

“It makes no sense, especially at a time that our national government should be promoting Canadian oil and gas as a reliable and environmentally sustainable option to countries facing energy shortages,” the speech highlighted.

Yes, the carbon tax is maybe not the best way to attack the issues we’re having. But what fucking parallel universe do these people live in that they can outright call the global climate crisis that’s already happening the “ideological whims of others”?

“Relative”? 🤨
Yet many people prefer mechanical pencils. Are you against choice?
I mean, why compare it with vim then
I’m sorry for your sister, but if shoplifting alone, a reality all retail businesses deal with, to some level (which according to this very article, just came back to pre pandemic levels, so we aren’t talking about something new), was enough to kill her business… What kind of shit margins do pet stores run on? 🤨
