American Idiot and the what, 3 albums before it and all the following, were all on Reprise Records (Warner). American Idiot specifically had some very strong marketing campaigns. If one really does subscribe to that “selling out” rhetoric, they did so much earlier than that.

Mate, I’m barely lifting myself up certain days, can I get a break from being responsible for others’ self-development, dunno, at least half the days?

Does it really matter? How many Windows users’ usage just launch a browser and use that, aren’t they effectively not “using” Windows per se?

It’s a direct answer to the main post, which mentions two bands, and this one is one of them. I thought the context implied the reference, visibly it didn’t, so I’m sorry for that. No need for the snark.

As far as I could understand, North American carriers charged through the nose for mobile data for the longest time, but usually bundled SMS with some plans in some form, be it a set number of messages, or unlimited nights/weekends (oof, I don’t feel younger typing that one out). I was a student working for one of our Canadian carriers the first time I saw more than like a gig of data for less than 70$/month, and that was in the long term contracts, cancellation fees days lol

In most of the rest of the world, data became cheaper faster, but SMS was/is still expensive. This, combined with iPhone’s popularity in NA making people use iMessage, led to a lot of people just sticking to the defaults and use SMS on one side of the Atlantic, while the rest used WhatsApp or similar.

What a convoluted way they chose to say “we didn’t use a prepared statement” lol

I don’t completely disagree with you. But it’s also a reality I’ve had to deal with myself as well. My personal take is I’d rather avoid the brand altogether if you care about Linux, but I also realize it’s not always possible if you care about - or need, for various reasons - things like CUDA, NVENC and RTX. In this case, OP specifically wants CUDA, and that won’t work without the proprietary driver.

I’m surprised the author is both a long-time vim user and defends the idea that everything being built in to the editor and config being purely declarative as positives. In my mind, vim being as slim or bulky as I want it to is a strength, not a weakness, and its config being a full language (especially since neovim/lua) is a superpower. I’ve yet to have my config just randomly break in almost a decade of tweaking it from vim to neovim, across multiple distros and package managers, for what it’s worth.

Helix does look pretty intersting though, but man does the idea of relearning everything after how long it took me to build that vim muscle memory sound very daunting. vim bindings being available almost everywhere, including other editors, some websites and third party apps, and my browser as an extension, is also a big part of why I hesitate to even give it a try…

How do you define “usable”, and how long did it take X to get to that same point?

What percentage of people realistically drive more than 300km per day? We're talking 2.5-3h on the road per day, not taking traffic into account. Extrapolating 300km per day, over 49 weeks a year, 5 days a week, that's just shy of 74000km. Who drives that, outside people whose job it is to drive stuff lol?

The user is describing iOS' share sheet, which Signal seems to advertise as a feature. The OS isn't reaching in and grabbing data, Signal is providing data to the OS.

Also note that said user signaled this on the Signal-Android repo, which combined with their inability to find this info, when i don't even own an iOS device, makes me think they aren't the most observant user out there.

I'm not sure I see the scenario. If I gave you the key to my place then I murdered someone in it, are you accountable for any of it?
