  • “Production” to describe multiplication?

    Jump

  • that makes sense. But then you have words like “differentiate” (find the difference between vs multiplying the coefficients by the indexes and reducing the indexes by one) but I guess it’s because the math “differentiate” isn’t really used by people who don’t so math (whereas something like addition or multiplication is used in everyday tasks)

  • vscode is actually a pretty decent code editor for my needs. I use VSCodium which is basically the same thing except lacking support for a few proprietary extensions (most notably the Microsoft C/C++ extension, so I use clangd instead which for some reason was way easier to set up with copr repo on fedora than either on windows or with flathub on fedora...)

  • I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.

  • I recently installed Fedora on my own 2-in-1 flippy laptop, and it works well. The screen rotates when I rotate the device, touchscreen works, and the stylus works as well.

  • Your favorite font for terminal and GTK/QT apps?

    Jump

  • For me my favourite monospace fonts are B612 Mono, Oxygen Mono, and Fira Code/Mono. Currently I use B612 in vscodium and Oxygen in the terminal

  • local music players are awesome! On Windows I like AIMP and Gapless is very good on Fedora Workstation and is what I use now to listen to music

  • Does the average person know markdown?

    Jump

  • I would guess they know a bit about lists using “-“ and a few people might know about using asterisk to bold stuff, but other than that probably not.

  • Oh yeah it would be a nightmare for non-english speakers for sure. Interesting that German is more phonetically consistent than English (stuff like “Karl” make more sense now)

  • there, I fixed it. Now it's a bit more clear!

  • Micro$oft when I try to enjoy my local drive in peaC:\

    Jump

  • that makes sense...but why is there two of them? That's really weird. And I don't think they want you to quit OneDrive...

    Also, since they own the operating system (Windows), they could easily just sync the folders directly. (Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, and Videos) That's where most people put their files in, so why not just sync that? Why move everything into a special OneDrive directory with all the issues that comes with that?

  • looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I do not currently use an Android phone. My old iphone is still going strong and it probably doesn't need to be replaced for a while.

  • Why MIcrosoft can't develop a good desktop app when they have a huge amount of money and loads of staff. Not to mention owning the operating system a majority of people use, meaning the app, syncing, backing up, etc. can be super optimised for it without any fuss for using workarounds. NO MS, PUTTING ALL MY FILES INTO A "OneDrive" FOLDER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. WHY IS THERE TWO OF THEM??? "OneDrive" and "OneDrive - [org name]"???? WHAT??? AND YOUR TASKBAR ICON THING FOR ONEDRIVE IS ANNOYING. WHY CAN'T I QUIT ONEDRIVE WITHOUT OPENING THE MENU?????????

    Thankfully I switched to more competent cloud providers. pCloud is pretty good, they just sync your files. No stupid "moving all your folders into a pcloud folder and making two of them one of which is empty for some reason". Super duper simple. And pcloud definitely has many times less budget and staff than MS. Jottacloud is also great, pretty similar to pcloud in that it only syncs files. WHY ARE THESE MUCH SMALLER COMPANIES DOING A WAY BETTER JOB THAN MS???????
