While there are measuring cups, they aren’t a set of cups of fixed volume, like American measuring cups, but rather like beakers with markings on them.

Our baking recipes are also based on the mass of ingredients rather than volume, which frustrates me whenever I see US-based recipes who call out for the “cup” measurement instead of mentioning the amount of grams one needs.

Beware, it’s a fake site, the real aniwave sites were subpoena’d a while back.

Zsh: “Zed shell” or “Zee shell” (depends)

SSH: spelt out S-S-H (both in English and in my native language)

sudo: like “sumo wrestler” only with a “d”

Current student here (CS, so sadly not in your field):

In my case, college/university actually made sure, I and many others would be using Linux as their main system. The computer lab is using Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 mainly) although Windows machines (mostly for beginner courses) and Macs (for stuff like Final Cut Pro and other Apple exclusive software) are available and many courses are either requiring or putting mainline support towards Linux.

Document wise - we were taught LaTeX from day 1 and are expected to have at least the knowledge to utilize the given .cls files. Sharing documents is rather a free-for-all: When LaTeX is required for the course, either Overleaf or the university git is the choice for group-work, otherwise there aren’t requirements for using .docx files or other files.

Hope I could give you an insight, although not in your field.

Agreed. Even though I dislike Eyeo’s practices as well (letting the ad companies pay for whitelisting their ads), it’s a better outcome than outright banning ad blockers (or if Axel Springer had gotten their ways, “light” web-browsing via reader modes would have been turned illegal as well)

Axel Springer tried again recently, arguing that ad blockers “infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites”, and Germany waits, because a similar lawsuit happened in Luxembourg which will be settled on the European level.

Another article, where they tried the exact same thing two years ago: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/landgericht-hamburg-ueber-adblock-plus-springer-verlag-verliert-erneut-a-5e058ee7-e0fa-4f0e-aa10-d95d9cfad654 (also in German)

(Also it’s not a constutional right (Verfassungsrecht), since it wasn’t the BVerfG that ruled in the first case (they tried to get them to rule, but no response was given), but a civil case ruled in the first instance by the BGH, after the local courts told Axel Springer to get bent)

It’s barely even visible but the fan is on the “flat” side, I think?

https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/

At least Ubuntu makes it easy to roam through their archives. Have fun :)

My journey was very uneven:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for 2 months, dual-boot) -> Windows (for about 6 years, because of some very specific software + pre-Proton gaming) -> Linux Mint (for about a month) -> popOS (for almost a year) -> endeavourOS (now, but always on the look-out for new stuff)

But in between the “main” journey, there was always some stuff trying out, like Void (on an old PC), Arch (inside a VM, now use that VM as a lightweight environment for testing some stuff out)

It’s not really FOSS, just the software-equivalent of CC-BY-NC or CC-BY-NC-ND.

That is the sole reason the UAC exists in post-Vista Windows.

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

That will reboot to UEFI setup instantly.

Isn’t it ‘octopodes’, and ‘octopuses’ is considered a valid alternative due to heavy use, or am I stupid?

Recommending Yandex? Bit of a “hot take”, don’t you think?

You can carbonate non-water drinks with anyone of those, regardless of brand - heck, Sodastream even sells you flavoured syrup to mix with your water.

Just, be careful to clean those nozzles more, as sugary drinks are sticky by nature.

Wait, they own Hermes? That explains quite a lot…

.ml admins throw a hissy fit, when you have a potty mouth. At least, that’s what I have seen so far.

I personally also welcome this change, as I have changed that setting anyway and of those people I know, they also changed that behaviour immediately. But as long as you can change it and it isn’t forced on you to only use one method, it’s great.
