Not unique to you. Been using Github every day for over 15 years and it wasn’t until I started using Refined Github that it was easy to find the releases page. Horrific design.

I’ve only partially read over you wrote and am heading into the mountains on vacation, but I will try to read over what you’ve written here sometime this weekend.

I mean that part makes sense. This is essentially the exact same community. Linux users will spread to any “general” Linux community on the web.

It’s pretty hard to fit all of what you just said into a meme. For example your meme does not say that windows users are “dismissing any alternative out of hand”. It says windows users that refuse to switch. Maybe they hate windows but they literally must use Fusion 360 or AutoDesk or Meshmixer or RealityCapture or one of the numerous other software options that just do not work on windows.

Anyway, if what your meme is actually about is people that only use the browser and then refuse to switch but still constantly complain then yeah you’re dead on.

No I’m talking about complaining about the problems you’re having with Linux not asking for help with anything. It’s literally happened in this exact community here, where people ask what issues people encounter with Linux, and if I (or others) say I have any issues I get downvoted to hell.

Yeah it’s super weird, if you go to a specific forum for help, like cachyos or bazzite, the community is bearable, and sometimes very helpful without being rude. But if you go to a general forum and state you’re having any issues with Linux you’ll be downvoted to hell and told Linux is still better than windows.

our black cat once ran under the ladder of a bunk bed, crashed into a mirror leaning against the wall, causing it to fall against a shelf and knock a salt shaker off (we were in college, gotta keep your food stuff in your room and whatnot). The mirror crashed to the floor and broke. We didn’t believe in curses and that fully cemented that belief for us.

There are flying rates for owls, like the barn owl is 80 km/h. Flying from NA to Europe wouldn’t even take more than 100 hours (60 from Boston to Lisbon), so with that it would mean the bird would be spending 3kW of energy, which is just nonsensical.

All birds have a kJ/d amount, and even with a huge multiplier you wouldn’t come anywhere near the amount in the meme.

There’s a few hundred that migrate from eastern NA to Europe and Africa, but no owls. Owls don’t really migrate at all. I did all the calculations in a different comment in this thread and the shitpost is so off it’s incredibly easy to disprove.

It is falsifiable, just from a basic bird standpoint. Energy usage and flight speed is listed on allaboutbirds.org and you can calculate the rest just from knowing how birds work (for one, owls don’t really migrate at all, though there are of course exceptions with everything in bird world).

The barn owl (the most common owl on the planet) weighs max 700g (listed on Table 1 here https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/brnowl/cur/appearance#meas but you need a subscription). So like 1.5 lbs.

Birds don’t really migrate east/west, and owls hardly migrate at all, and only a few species, not really barn owls. I’m not sure if there is an owl that migrates like that but even if it was true, tiny ruby throated hummingbirds migrate nonstop across the gulf. Weight doesn’t really matter.

Kilowatt is a rate of energy, not an amount. So let’s calculate that. And energy use in owls is documented on birds of the world as well. Flight speed is 80 km/h https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/brnowl/cur/behavior#locom

Energy use is 360.4 kJ/d, let’s triple that for continual flight across the ocean (idk I’m just making that up since this is all fake anyway), so 1081.2, we’ll round up to 1100.

Estimates of daily food consumption rates are limited. One captive female consumed a mean of 60.5 g/d over one year, amounting to 10.1% of her mass daily; consumption varied from 46.4 g/d in the warmest periods to 74.0 g/d in the coldest times (147). Two American Barn Owl consumed a mean of 74.1 g/d over a 10 d trial in August; it was estimated that energy use was 360.4 kJ/d (148). Other measures of daily food intake for wild American Barn Owl estimated from pellet contents range from 110 g/d in summer in Colorado (113) to a mean of 150 g/d over 1 yr in California (149). The mean gross energy intake for 4 (1 female, 3 males) sedentary American Barn Owl was 68.9 kcal/d; mean existence energy was 54.6 kcal/d, resulting in 79.3% efficiency in food utilization (150).

I just measured across from Massachusetts to Portugal, around 3000 mi or 4800 km. About 60 hours, so 1100 kJ/24h / 24/h x 60 h = 2750kJ = 657265.774 Calorie.

So yeah, very fake.

works in fish shell as well.

I struggled with WinApps as well. wasn’t ever able to get gpu passthrough working either, and trying to do so really destabilized my computer. I pretty much gave up. That’s not to say that WinApps doesn’t work. It does, it’s just not near native for me. There’s definitely slowness, at least with Lightroom, I haven’t tested with PS yet, though I have installed it.

about 50% of traffic to programming.dev is bots who have marked their user-agents as such. I’m pretty confident the actual number is higher, but haven’t spent time validating.

Just so you know, companies already use drones for roof surveys. I work for sunrun and we use them to analyze roofs for solar installations and whether roofs need to be fixed before hand.
