I was thinking that when I wrote it.

But there is more people now. So more people to misunderstand it :-)

This is just the typical modern misunderstanding of statistics.

IMHO there is no point backing up an OS drive, just rebuild it*.

Data is the important thing to back up because you usually can’t regenerate it.

* the corollary here is that you’ve backed up the configuration required to rebuild the OS.

In the spirit of this thread: no.

Recovering with the backup should put you back to an operational state equivalent to when the backup was taken.

I.e. if you’ve restored some files, but something is still not working then the backup failed its purpose.

E.g. the timestamps on the files might be important, do they need to be stamped with the time of the backup or the time of the restore?

I’m fairly sure he spends most of his time frustrated with limits of reality.

There’s a few things that don’t add up in your recollection of events.

You are being lied to, not necessarily directly by your mother.

If that’s if going to be a problem to deal with you might want to consider dropping the whole thing.

He didnt show up until after I had been born.

That’s a little odd. Is he your biological father?

It’d be news-worthy if it wasn’t bots.

Oh that is clever.

Does curl send a different useragent when it’s piped?

Searching for those words just vomits ‘hOW to SeT cUrL’s UseRaGenT’ blog spam.

Once upon a time, when you logged in you arrived at the desktop. Then typically you’d click a docked application icon or use the hot corner to open the overview (Apple calls it exposé on macOS) and search for an application to start. Some people would just hit the keyboard shortcut and start typing an application name. Very quick.

One day, the gnome team decided that since a lot of people do this, that immediately after logging in you’d arrive directly at this overview/exposé mode ready to type an app name.

Quite a few people didn’t like this change, and requested a setting so they could enable/disable it as was their preference. The response from the gnome team was essentially ‘get fucked’ enshrouded by weak/nonsense justifications for the change and for not making it optional, apparently taking the request as some kind of personal attack.

It was a trivial minor change but the way the team handled it was… lacking.

I like gnome DE, I dislike the arrogance of the project team.

My straw was the login-to-exposé thing.

if people tried to understand the motivations of others,

This is essentially my qualifier for “good”.

Good thing he doesn’t have a peanut farm.

TIL.

Diet changes linked to GLP-1 drug use could mean up to $12 billion in snack sales lost over the next decade, according to EY-Parthenon estimates.

Peter ter Kulve, CEO of Magnum Ice Cream, said GLP-1 users continue to eat treats, but they exhibit “a stark reduction of mindless munching and binge eating.”

Coca-Cola’s incoming top boss urged faster innovation on his first analyst call as CEO-elect last week…

Kraft Heinz’s new chief halted a planned split of the company and instead announced $600 million in investments this year to revive long-neglected staples such as its meat and cold cuts business Oscar Mayer.

All for the threat of $1.2b of potential lost revenue per year over a decade.

Ah, derp. TY. That seems really obvious in hindsight.

“ND”? I can get as far as N-somthing Discharge.
