That’s what I meant by “use the lab machines”. Basically you can do the work on your own devices if it is Mac or Linux but are expected to ssh or remote desktop into the lab machines if you have windows

They told us we should have a linux or a mac in first year comp sci and if we didn’t we should use the lab machines. Probably because they are both unix like operating systems.

“Mainstream trend of all cars bad” which mainstream is that? Because last I checked Australia, Canada, the US and the UK are all still extremely car centric. This also completely ignores the fact that it is car centrism that causes the disregard for pedestrians and people on bikes. Finland and Denmark certainly don’t seem to have an abundance of poeple developing bike blindness and they have mixed traffic zones all over the place.

I wonder what this will mean for the kurds? I am hoping that HTS remains true to their words about religious and ethnic minorities. Mazloum Abdi of the SDF at least seems hopeful for an opportunity to build a democratic and just Syria. Im not holding my breath though, it is a very rapidly changing situation and we’ll just have to wait and see

The amount of negativity on that thread alone is enough for me to realise that bluesky is not for me. I enjoy the positivity I find on the fedi and decided I wouldn’t use a platform that algorithmically rewards negativity when I was harassed off facebook. I am glad that others are finding it nicer than twitter but for me it seems much the same but without Elon Musk

They would serve a greater use to humanity as compost

Yeh, it is such I minor thing for me that it doesn’t really matter but it is probably the only thing I miss. I have avoided playing most EA, Ubisoft and Epic store games for a while but it still sucks when the one game from EA that I did own and spent some money on has just decided that all linux users are cheaters. For the most part I stick to games that I know have a high chance of always working on linux.

Not having to worry about games straight up blocking linux users from playing because we are supposedly all cheaters…
