They are just on a war against Big Oxygen. They'll stop lighting the gas after it's finished.
I too expected it to be "et cetera".
I used to pronounce it like yuzr, knowing that it wasn't user, but not knowing what it was.Now I have better context. Maybe I'll go with U.S.R.
Wikipedia vs Delhi HC Judge's Actions
Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.
- Wikipedia here, explaining that they have a limited ability and asking HC to be reasonable.
"We will close your business transactions here"
- Judge, realising they are showing weakness, increasing threat level.
Current actions vs Past actions
- Refer "Relevant Article" in the post.
- Low impact companies asked Supreme Court and were shot down
- Company with a high standing and a potential political backing, asks the High Court and gets full attention
- On top of that, Delhi HC Judge decides to move to "Contempt of Court", making it much harder for Wikipedia, in case they move Supreme Court (SC) in the future, for a re-trial
- I feel like this would have gone differently had ANI gone to SC from the beginning.
Writing this part separately in a comment, because I understand this includes my bias.
Also, if I don't interact with any comments later, please excuse me. GOI might have stopped my internet, just for posting this, because they can.
I have the ability to create basic a 3D, line based design tool. Though I would have to read up on NURBS. Maybe QCad has the potential to grow in that direction.
I just still tend to hope that it may be implemented in something fully featured like Blender, which is more geared towards artistic modelling and replaces stuff like 3dsMAX and Maya. It does have some plug-ins to support precision drawing, but last time I checked, I was still not convinced of using it in an AutoCAD like workflow.
I don't even like coffee
Maybe this article would be a good indicator.
By default, Ubuntu will give the Snap version, which Steam devs don't like to support.And installing another version will probably require some configuration and terminal stuff, so I'd suggest going with something that plays well with Valve.
Linux still is lacking in CAD/CAM
I really wish this could be fixed.
I have used CAD software quite a bit during my childhood and BTech and realise the great difference between Autodesk tools and OSS Alternatives. While blender has already overtaken their stuff in its domain, I feel the need for an alternative for AutoCAD ^[currently checking out QCAD] that can overthrow its crown. While I can't expect anything for stuff like ArchiCAD, Revit etc. which would require loads of domain specific knowledge.
Never tried CAM software, but I see 3 OSS ones here, so perhaps you can check out any that you haven't. I'd be interested in knowing about your exp with these, since I don't have much to think of how to test those.
Steam ⇒ No Ubuntu
For Word/Excel alternatives, I would suggest LibreOffice fresh. So, go with one that gives recent versions of it ^[I hated the problems with older versions, which seem to be greatly reduced in the newer ones].
can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code.
That will vary greatly depending upon your Hardware selection. I was lucky enough to manage a good enough setup (adding extra effort to check Motherboard components) for Linux support and still have a few problems. [I am unable to get CPU fan speed (tachometer reading).]
I like Endeavour OS, but it being rolling on Arch, means, it is for someone who is happy with troubleshooting and bug reporting.
I had tried Open SUSE for a bit (back then, I hardy knew Linux) and liked that too.
Debian probably won't work either, because, even though it is something you probably won't need to troubleshoot for years, once setup, Steam will make it hard for you and Discord, well, no idea. I removed it after declining the new TOS.
Seems to me like this just has Vegetarian replaced with Vegan, because, as you see there is no row labelled vegetarian without the prefixes.Meat + Eggs + Dairy + Veg = Carno-ovo-lacto vegetarianismSame species (human meat) + meat + eggs + dairy + veg = Homo-carno-ovo-lacto vegetarianism.If you equate vegetarian with prefix to vegetarian without prefix, then everyone who eats anything vegetarian even once i their life is a vegetarian.That'd make Hannibal Lecter a vegetarian because he decorated his raw human with some basil leaves.
Exactly why I suggested going to stuff like Starbucks to understand the feelings of OP.
I’m not familiar with your currency symbol
Try
qalc.Arch:pacman -S libqalculateDebian:apt install qalcRed Hat:yum install qalculateOtherwise: http://qalculate.github.io/It's got both, a terminal frontend and a Qt GUI one. (Actually 3. Also a GTK one)
You can copy the currency text along with the symbol into it and by default, it will convert it to your Locale's currency, so you can know the exchange rates at least.
Also, ₹2000 - ₹3000 per 8 hour day tends to be what an engineering fresher would normally expect in a place like Delhi, where a Subway sub will cost around ₹400.
I didn't know "eggs" were considered vegetarian.Very /s apologies for my misunderstanding, which stemmed from vegetarian packets being marked with a green circle and eggs being marked with a black one, clearly stating not vegetarian.
₹300 comes at around 4 euros. 4 pounds is ~₹450, so it's pretty close.If you check the pricing of one of the shit-listed chains, you get hardly anything filling in that price, vs ₹90 for a full meal in some places (that was somewhere in Bengaluru).
I think anyone with taste knows that a small non-chain restaurant, stall, or cart will have much better food than some corporate chain crap food made with industrially sourced ‘ingredients.’
With my aversion to food made out in the open, right next to running cars and open-coughing people, I stopped eating from roadside stalls by the time I started having enough autonomy.I tend to prefer non-chain restaurants with viewable kitchens ^[those places tend to hire cooks who actually mind their coughing], but due to lack of any such desirable place in my area, eating out nearby, usually means subway (which is just, less bad).
Then I realise that with the amount of money I would spend to pay for the cheapest local meal place, I can actually cook with Ghee at home. And that topples the equation over its head.
- Morning: Sandwich in Ghee/butter/peanut oil depending upon the mood
- Afternoon: Fried rice in Ghee
- Evening: Gram/Kidney Beans/Lentils in Ghee, with rice
Definitely not going back to outside food with nobody knows which oil they use.
Just don't let them be pressed ¯(ツ)/¯
sympathy for naive users, and FOSS devs mainly do not
From what I have seen, KDE devs that I interacted with, had a higher tolerance for mistakes, than I would want to have for myself.
I once submitted a wish for Kate, which was also submitted multiple times before and marked as Won't Fix, because: a) low demand; b) nobody to do it.But when I started trying to implement it, I as given more help than I should have asked for.
So, it's probably just about chance. Don't let a few rejections stop you. If you consider it useful, even if it gets rejected now, someone will see it eventually. And some programmer might find it worth implementing.
But you can, write your ID and Password on a paper under your keyboard and "forget" it before death.
Yes.
I absolutely hated the feeling of helplessness when I found a problem somewhere, when using Windows.On Linux, I am happy to give bug reports/ wishlist reports and follow through with them. Maybe even fix something, if I feel like I can. That (and the higher transparency in communication) makes me much more forgiving of problems I may find anywhere.
For the average Indian, it would be just a minor inconvenience. Having to visit a site full of ads and half-assedly written information, whenever they want to know something new, is the price they will pay.
For Uni students, looking for stuff to plagiarise, it won't be much different either, as most of the times, Wikipedia is considered a less reliable source than a shady website having 10's of ad popups leading to malicious targets. Probably because the one grading it, only has to check to make sure it is not a Wikipedia URL and doesn't really need to actually open the link to see here it leads.
Wikipedia kinda works like a Democracy of the type, 'Logical Consensus', making it very hard for people to just throw money at it to get false information shown, at least on topics with enough hands-on people^[as compared to a normal democracy, which only relies on number of people supporting a decision]. This makes it very unappealing for political campaigns. Meaning, Govt. doesn't have a reason to care for it.
