I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

It literally promises to generate content, but I think the implied promise is that it will replace parts of your workforce wholesale, with no drop in quality.

It's that last bit that's going to be where the drama happens

Advertisers. For-profit advertisers mostly. They intentionally skew people's understanding of the world for the benefit (usually) of the rich.

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.

Better a moderation system that has a few false positives than a system that allows nazi and fascist accounts to flourish.

I didn't know what it was, so I looked it up. Their description is here:

It sounds interesting.. It also sounds like it will fail, because Mozilla seems to think that trackers are primarily interested in collecting ad stats, and that targeted advertising is less critical, but I think in reality it's the other way around, and advertisers won't accept such a limited solution.

Birdman. Just drums. Really fucking good drums. Also they appear in the middle of one scene in an excellent way.

Also: not a movie, but Cowboy Bebop. Lots and lots of great tracks.

If they are actually funny, don't punch down too much, and can turn it off when needed.

It's not good if that's your whole personality.

As a non-american, that insult is far more devastating

Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I've seen him say yet.

Which bits are not functional? I'm using their email and calendar.. they aren't completely polished, but they're very usable.
