Eh? Idk if I agree. My original comment was entirely a joke based on the fact that the literal argument of=/dev/sda has no affect on my system but to address your actual point. I personally don’t find nvme naming any more confusing than SCSI. /dev/nvme0n1 is only one char away from /dev/nvme1n1 just like sda vs sdb. Additionally if you understand how the kernel comes up with those names they make a lot of sense. The first number is the controller, the second is the namespace or drive attached to that controller, the 3rd if present is the partition on the given drive. It is entirely possible to have a controller with more than one namespace. That aside aside…I think there is a genuine benefit to be argued for having USB drives, which are SCSI and fall into sdX naming separate from system drives as I dd far more USB media than system media. Making it a lot harder to screw my system up when trying to poke a flash drive.

I am immune to /dev/sda for I only have nvme

I’m both IT and development…and I’ve caught both sides being utterly wrong because they’re only familiar with one and not the other

I also love Java, especially all the goodies added in 17. I’m not German though… 🤔

Linux remaps 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 when you attempt to use it as an address…does the same thing for :: remapping it to ::1

I’m so glad someone posted this. I was going to lol

Wow that sounds like a headache, even though I’ve avoided python for other reasons that sounds like an additional reason to do so. Also the reason I avoid npm isn’t for a technical reason like you’ve outlined here. It’s because even installing npm requires me to install an entire other Linux distros worth of packages. Why do I need to install like 100+ new packages just to use a freaking package manager???

…is it truly that bad? npm is the reason I don’t even install software based on node on my machines… python doesn’t seem nearly as bad by comparison? (I run it, just don’t like to write it) Maybe it’s worse than I realize

That syntax decision is single handedly why I avoid python if possible

I didn’t know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that’s interesting. Looks really nice though

Wells Fargo cuts to 14 on their sign in page but not on their change password page, ask me how I know

You’re talking about Java(Jakarta) EE, my comment is primarily targeted at Java SE. I find that the Java standard library on its own and core language is pretty nice if you use modern versions like Java 21. If I had to complain it’d be about checked exceptions, they annoy me but otherwise the language is fine. I’ve never worked with the full enterprise web stack, I use servelts for web and do a large amount of Java SE desktop development, not with swing, fuck swing. Primarily LWJGL and JavaFX. I love that language, more than most. At work I use a lot of C# and I hate it, I miss Java when I have to write C#. I just don’t love it, mostly due to all the little annoyances and missing things(no labeled breaks, no diamond operator for generics, etc). I try to use Java for projects where I can but it’s not always an option.

Honestly modern Java has a lot of really nice features and I think it gets a lot of unfair hate

Should probably fix that given we’ve been out of IPv4 for over a decade now and v6 is only becoming more widely deployed

This sums up how I feel nicely. No issues with parens…but whitespace…fuck that shit

Always has? It’s supported java and I think python for forever

Huh, tbh I’ve never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I’ve never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.

LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it’s like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like “here’s my fancier windows” but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.

That’s fair, also I’m not saying KDE doesn’t have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn’t like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I’m hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

🤔 I’m actually surprised it’s THIS customizable. We’re talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I’m not a huge fan of the “start menu/task bar” and having a desktop, maybe I’m the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren’t really my thing.
