> So what insane person will ever touch Azure willingly? The nobody-got-fired-for-choosing-Microsoft crowd. And they don’t look few and far between.

Let's not pretend we do not all -know- virtually every company looks at security as a cover your ass exercise. The SaaS is able to provide some fort of "certification", so companie…

> I find it weird that I've been living in the same building for 7 years and I know basically nothing about my neighbors Isn't this just par for the course when living in dense set…

I actually find dead keys quite practical. MacOS uses those, and it allows me to easily type French on a US keyboard. This also allows you to easily type other symbols, like •, º, …

I was never into comics, but the impression I get is that many "actual nerds" were. And that's something that was clearly visible from the outside. And since everything nowadays se…

But are these off-the-shelf solutions actually supported for ten years? And since they're usually bought for "easy remote connectivity" and whatnot, that's rather important. Bonus …

Right. I think the underlying question is, how do you get to know these people in the first place? Isn't this the whole point of the discussion? How do you initially get to know pe…

I think there are, see the other comment about tree-style tabs or similar for Firefox. I can absolutely see the value in that and I don't argue for that option to be removed or oth…

> So that any application could have tabs, if the desktop manager would allow you to group windows as such. Same with showing a split view within such a tab as well. Not only that,…

> Sadly the community prefers to solve this at the application level rather than the desktop level Not only does it "prefer", they actually enforce this. I haven't found any sensib…

This. They're also too big, so if you don't wear baggy pants it can be a pain to maneuver in and out of jeans pockets. But then, if I'm visiting somewhere unfamiliar in the middle …

Well, you could buy a waterproof phone, which wouldn't break if you walked into the ocean with it in your pocket? I use my phones as GPS attached to my motorbike's handlebars. They…

I'm not sure I'd say it's hypocritical. More like unintended consequences? Part of the moralistic argument against planned AC rollout is electricity consumption. But not doing it i…

Do those also cover the apartment walls? I've only seen large awnings covering walls in detached houses, and even then it's relatively rare to cover walls that aren't close to door…

The moralistic argument here in France is that the AC units heat the outside air, which worsens things for people outside, especially those who can't afford AC in their home. Never…

Actually, many homes in France don't have shutters. According to this article, almost half don't have any. https://immobilier.lefigaro.fr/article/seulement-54-de-logem...

> legislation/landlords preventing installation Don't know about "Europe", but here in France this is the main reason. Even if you live in an apartment you own, you have to fight m…

Right, but there's a mismatch in priorities between when I'm driving and when I'm walking around. I would rather not lug around a big-ass phone when I'm out and about. My iphone is…

In my case, I use Atuin. It has a concept of "context" so you can easily search the history for commands related to your current directory / project / etc. See [0] for some example…

In the Paris area, if you commute during rush hour, you'll probably been stuck between 100 people per square meter. At best, you can listen to some podcasts or audiobooks. When I s…

Yes, I was thinking about this exact situation (drivers waiting around in the "wrong" spots). But that is already a problem, which should be fixed, whatever energy the truck uses. …

Well, at least you got to access it. We use OneDrive at work, so I have all the right apps and accounts and whatnots. When I wanted to download a folder with a lot of files in it, …

Yeah, the questions showed up in non-native dialogues in both cases. I installed the Logitech one, but not the Dell. But then again, even freaking Office looks non-native on Window…
