By lowering cost and not investing profit to the company? Yes, short-term v long-term, but who in this world cares about anything after their next salary?

Lovely, so yet another promise to federate which will never materialise! Still going with the Drew’s reply in https://is.gd/5wwQy2 (yes, two years old, and he slightly softened his…

You said SHOULD. Yes, I absolutely agree that politicians (and I very intentionally do not call any names) should be criminally punished most harshly for abusing their position for…

I feel strangely offended that here in Czechia there are actually no ads on BBC podcasts …

I didn’t mean to be pedantic. My experience with Jujutsu was as bad as with Mercurial (and hg-git, I believe?) … after couple of hours working with my repo ( https://git.sr.ht/~mce…

If you say that you can work only with JJ and never use git, you are delusional. For one, where is that JJ forge (i.e., the equivalent of Sourcehut)?

You cannot give millions of USD to potential authors if you are tiny webserver-running small business. That’s what the article was all about.

yes, I haven’t managed for a week, but I tried to Jujutsu and gave up. It is too complicated for no visible gain. Plus, there is no infrastructure supporting it (in the end, you st…

Yeah, we are just paying customers, who cares about us, right?

I don’t think it is that simple. Itanium was for years supported for example by RHEL (including GCC working of course, if anybody cared enough they could invest into optimising tha…

Lived for some time five minutes walking from the Clock, and so I can heartily appreciate the old Prague joke: “Daddy, why they call it the tourist season, when we cannot shoot the…

I am a Czech as well, and although I know exactly what you are talking about, I have found my own way towards Švejk lately. I am afraid (all of them awesome artists, but too much p…

Švejk is too much slanted by the expectations of “just funny” and by (absolutely awesome, but too nice) illustrations by Josef Lada. When listening to the audio version of the book…

Yes, they are only hilarious. Švejk on the other hand is in my opinion much more serious. One Czech literary critic call it even “Kafka by other means”. Yes, Hašek was a satiric wr…

“The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Whatever age I read it, I am always surprised how much it deals with the actual problems I have.

Only not having access to https://todo.sr.ht made me to recognize fully, that I don’t have any access to it. https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug suddenly looks much more interes…

It is not paid to another company (ehm, Mozilla), or it doesn’t live from advertisements (almost everybody else). You pay for its services the old-fashioned way, with your money.

Yes, a lot. All those zillion shell scripts which run the IT these days use it whenever they need to get to the Internet (surprisingly, it is much more common than wget(1), which i…

Whenever you say words “natural”, or “friendly” you actually mean “what I am used to”. As the saying goes “Basically, the only ‘intuitive’ interface is the nipple. After that, it's…
