QI (the British panel show) discussed this in an episode during social distancing where they had to perform with no audience: https://youtu.be/EKVD3n6Atl0 (it’s the first topic of conversation, not the whole episode of course)

My favourite bit is:

Alan: “I had a radio show in the late 90’s, and we were so funny that the people at the BBC comedy said we could use those laughs on nearly every other program we make. […] That was the best compliment I’ve ever had in my whole career. ‘We’ve kept your laughs, and we’re using them on other shows’.”

Someone’s been reading SMBC: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/red-2

Oh, so it’s custom-made as a joke, not an off-the-shelf model that you just put the wrong bullets in. That makes more sense.

Thanks :)

Why the %^&* does that huge bullet even fit and work in that pistol? From the pic it’s obvious the 45-70 is so much wider than the 9mm

Any explanation for those of us who are not gun enthusiasts?

My guess: it’s a mouthful and not catchy. “Linux” is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With “GNU/Linux” I don’t even know if I’m supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say the “/” as “slash” or “plus” or “and” or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don’t know how to say it I’m not going to write it, and I’m not going to like reading it.

I can totally see the merits for “GNU/Linux” but don’t underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to “Ginux” it could stand a better chance, but then we’d have another gif situation.

Ah yes, the lollipop guild defence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HBmZuJlHs

and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it’s not even worth including

They should add it in C++26

Seconded! I also can’t wait to find out whether Chopper can save Vegapunk, but that’s probably a ways away still…

Notes:

• I haven’t tried it myself
• (step 6) In Mint, instead of using the terminal, open that directory normally in the file manager, then right-click on an empty part of the directory and choose “open as root”. Both the file manager and the default text editor after you’ve opened the file will show red banners reminding you that they are running as root.
• (steps 3-4) I hope you are at least a little familiar with the registry editor on windows, otherwise these steps might be hard to follow

This could cause some weird issues down the line though.

Me too, but Unexpected Keyboard is useful for niche situations that crop up.

Still works.

Development stopped on Hacker’s Keyboard in 2018(?) and people keep using it.

Take a look at Unexpected Keyboard too, it’s great and actively developed. F-Droid / GitHub / Play Store

A thing I did with Key Mapper from F-Droid lets me undo by pressing Volume Down + Volume Up, and Redo by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down (the order matters). If anyone’s interested I can share how to set it up.

Note that it’d work better and more seamlessly if you use Shizuku, but I don’t so there’s some caveats. I’ll happily go into more detail if anyone wants, just ask.

I think Excel formulas also use this, but it’s been a long time so I might be misremembering.

Yes, you’ve got it right. <> means ≠. 16 is not equal to 6.
