https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/?ref=itsfoss.com#section-most-popular-technologies-operating-system says for developers: Ubuntu, then WSL, then Debian, then everything else, then Arch, then...

Android also has personal use that ranks higher than WSL but professional use that ranks a tiny bit higher than Debian. Not sure if it's a Linux distro, but it's tangential.

IDK about Coreboot, but Android has a completely different userland. The only thing it has in common with Linux is the kernel. Nearly everything else is different. Everything else I agree, but only if you mean WSL2, which is basically an enhanced virtual machine, instead of WSL1, which translates system calls to Windows.

At least in the consumer market, most Chinese people still use Windows or macOS. These 42% may be the public sector.

That's because SteamOS, the operating system preinstalled on the Steam Deck, is based on Arch.

Maybe I exaggerated, but what I meant is that Android lacks many ubiquitous components of Linux distros. For more information you can read https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2009/02/an-introduction-to-google-android-for-developers/.

32% Democratic, 32% Independent!, 26% Republican. 51% of those who voted voted for Biden, 43% are very unfavorable towards Trump, 41% are very unfavorable towards Biden, Trump has a 1% lead if he and Biden were the only candidates and 2% otherwise. 26% only finished High School. That is very interesting.

It's not any of what you said. It's an adv. according to many a dictionary. I doubt that any of my pals would call that wrong or anti–English class.

The French Wikipedia uses the Thin Red Line flag in the legend for a map ( fr.wikipedia.org )

Context: the Thin Blue Line is symbolism for the role of police in maintaining public order. It has been co-opted by the alt-right. There is also a Thin Red Line to represent nurses. The French Wikipedia happened to use it in a legend to explain what the red lines on a map mean.

I wonder how he made the photos and accessed Craigslist.

People refused to give him water and he was unable to find a place to stay the night.

Eventually, a man with an RV allowed him to stay for several nights in his van.

Black started off small and managed to make his first $300 by selling furniture online.

By the fifth day of the challenge he had made enough money to buy himself a computer.

Almost two weeks in, he was able to secure his own office space and after just over one month, Black finally had his own place to rent.

Three months into the challenge, Black's entrepreneurial spirit appeared to shine through having set himself up as a social media manager, managing to land clients - while even coming up with his own brand of coffee.

While it's not hard labor by any means, it is interesting.

Four months into the challenge, on day 138, Black learned that his father was officially diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and had just started chemo which led Black to question the entire project - but he continued.

Black ended the challenge having completed 10 months, with just 60 days left to run. He had managed to make a grand total of $64,000.

My personal health has declined to the point where I really need to start taking care of it. Throughout the entire project, we haven't shared it with you, but I've been in and out of the doctor's office.'

Black explained how he also suffered from two autoimmune diseases which caused 'chronic fatigue' and another that attacked his joints.

That's the millionaire-funded healthcare system for ya.

What's new is that apparently "We reported these vulnerabilities to all nine vendors. Most vendors responded, took the issue seriously, and fixed the reported vulnerabilities, although some keyboard apps remain vulnerable."

Researchers find lower grades given to students with surnames that come later in alphabetical order ( phys.org )

As graders go on grading, their comments become more frustrated and their good-will becomes much sloppier. At least that's the hypothesis to explain this. Researchers found the reverse effect on graders who sorted in reverse-alphabetical order.

But the punctuation isn't part of the original text, and putting the punctuation inside the quote marks loses information on the original text's punctuation. Periods do not need any puny comfort from two fucking lines.

I usually try to avoid that scenario and put the first character in brackets if I absolutely need to do that.

It's only prescribed in American English. By American I meant American English, not extending to Latinamerican Spanish lol. Nearly every other place in the world use logical quote-punctuation.

Edit: I do not understand any of the downvotes on this thread. I understand these on my nonsensical late-night typesetters comment, but not any other one.

Sight misread there! :) It’s orthography, not typesetting; it’s just that as you also mentioned, the “American” style was historically used a lot by typesetters

Edit: I misread.

This orthographical rule is mainly advised against in Britain and advised for in the United States.

when you quote a complete sentence, and the sentence only consists of that sentence, you can just omit the period after the final quote mark

In the days of the printing press, it was not feasible to have type blocks for single punctuation marks. The blocks would be too small and fragile. Punctuation marks were appended to the end of the letter. Instead of having a single block with a period (.) they had a block for each letter of the alphabet with a period. (a.), (b.), etc. Making blocks for both (",) and (,") was an unnecessary expense, so they went with (,"), and the convention stuck.

At least, it stuck in the USA.

Maybe, but I find it kinda frustrating that they invested a lot of time in the direct opposite way. Thunderbird had Qt/GTK support in version 102. In the next release, they forced their own theme and moved some elements while removing Qt and GTK support with the nonsensical justification of "we'd have to hardcode every single possible color permutation that the user could theme" when you get the colors from a function. They then locked the threads about this. I assume they did some internal refactoring, but still, it feels frustrating.
102
115

(note that the new UI can be customizable to have the inbox be single-row and the mail content be on the bottom)
(also 115 is 102's next release, thunderbird updates the major version number to whatever firefox's is at the time of release)

The only reason the headline shows for you is because that's the link title and Lemmy's default UI automatically displays the link title. But that is not actually part of the post content, and so it does not federate. This also doesn't display if you aren't in the thread's page, e.g. the home page. The title you gave the actual post is not informative at all.
