  • I’ve also noticed too and they’ve been showing up on other communities with the flimsiest reasons for why it’s been posted e.g. “Oh well I made the slopware while using Linux so that’s why I’m posting to this Linux community”. Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

    Some communities seemed to be fine with those low effort “I made a slop thing/I’m just going to shamelessly promote” though so I think block profile/unsub is the only option.







  • Have used Linux for work (desktop and server) for 15+ years. At home I’ve got Linux for my servers but desktop had stuck to windows because of gaming and audio production software.

    The experience in gaming is amazing now on Linux for me and while audio is still quite iffy it’s workable.

    I have never liked Microsoft so binning them off at home completely is something I’ve always wanted to do


  • I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)

    • First Gulf War
    • Yugoslavia war
    • Rwandan Genocide
    • Oklahoma City Bombing
    • Columbine Massacre
    • Los Angeles Riots
    • The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
    • Somalian War
    • US 1990 recession
    • 1997 Asian Financial crisis
    • Dot com bubble
    • Hurricane Andrew
    • 1999 İzmit earthquake

    It’s very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.

    The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that’ll trick your mind.



  • It’s not quite as simple as that and there are other growing conditions that are required. If we take Arabica, it requires a very small window temperature window, sunlight but not so much it scorches the plant, a particular pH of soil, and consistent rainfall.

    Climate change brings unpredictability to growing conditions so even if you had to move where you grow it, it won’t necessarily mean it’ll grow well. Plus different locations can bring on new diseases for the (coffee has its fair share of diseases to combat with) and so new varitals would need to be selected which is no simple task.

    As the article points out, coffee is notorious for being fussy when growing it.
