Not sure about the colonial mindset or the caste practices of centuries but Indian culture is extremely hierarchial in almost all facets of life. Elders, seniors, higher officials, etc all expect to be respected even if it is just one year difference, etc.

One of the ways to show respect it to not use names and call as sir,madam, teacher, officer or at best elder brothers/sisters for college seniors. All this works well in the regional languages of India but sounds weird in English.

Directly calling names of elders is still seen as bad and if needed would use their name appended with sir madam uncle aunt etc.

This is less practiced in IT field in my experience. After years of schooling and college calling my teachers sir and maam it was hard to shake off the habit. A few of my managers had to remind me a bunch of times to call them by their name and not as sir / maam in the beginning. Even then I avoidedcallintg out their names and just started speaking to get their attention. Now I almost call everyone by name by default in office setting. It is still fun when freshers join and are asked to use names of 15+ year elders and them wondering if we are joking.

No it was the communist in china

I guess killing off millions does save the planet some pollution. But thats not a very ideal way of pollution control, is it?

Seems nice but has no folder or organisational feature. Seems its just a large dump of photos.

Sync is not a no go rather something I dont mind if not present.

The phone I want this for is on A11 and my work phone. I dontfknow if I am missing to enable folder level permissions for apps but many apps Iave doseea all pictures or videos have.

The most isolation IhVave seen is use files within signal or telegram and those dont show up unless I save to gallery.

It came preinstalled.

Arch always can never not include violence.

Keto vegan?

Not trial. Home Single user license.

It does in recent times. My laptop came pre installed with win 11 and office home 2021(i think).

All i had to do was click activate to link the key to my email account. It showed up as a notification on first login.

Even if not activated it still would open files with that warning.

That shouldn’t be uknown as its ubuntu based. The previous ones Ive used was debian based. It was pretty much stock with some wallpaper and basic customization. Also in most cases never updated.

While I agree with your general point, how is it illegal? If I download the ISO from windows, install and keep using it without activation? They aren’t blocking me from using it and I haven’t circumvented any prevention they have in place. What’s illegal here?

Not used to ctrl+i so thanks.

This fixed it. Commented the crypttab entry and no more wait on boot. Thanks for your time and the clear instructions to follow. Much appreciated.

Back when I started my dream was go have folders of DVDs of all things I would need. Luckily for me cheat fast HDDs became a thing. Still should burn atleast my favourite contents.

Not following you.

Even assuming all other factors remain same sure it uses more power but by how much? Best case by how much do you expect the increase to be ? 5-10% of their daily electricity consumption ?

And when you consider the power source, hw efficiency and so on theres no way to assess what the environmental effect an OS has.

Also you are assuming behavior of the person remains the same when using a precompiled packages v. compiling their own. I’ve installed many sw just to try for a few minutes and remove just to try various options. If it takes hours to compile I’d be very picky on what I install.

exa is a nice alternative to ls and tree commands. Just add an alias to them based on the views you want.

But like other comment points out avoid lots of customization if you work on various shared systems, esp SSHing in.

With my keyboard layout and other keybind customizations my system is pretty unusable to others except basic mouse on browser. Like wise i have trouble using others’ systems and need to setup any new installs to a precise way before able to work. Slightly regret going too much into customization in certain aspects.

Not sure if limited to certain emulators, alt+l should do that for you

You should be putting them onto CDs. Lets you have cool covers to recognise them how old it is.
