You are actually getting exactly the same amount of coffee you paid for, without the ice.
Which is half a cup full.

By the way, this isn’t a “coffee in the USA” thing. It’s a Starbucks thing.
In most diners, coffee shops and restaurants in the US, you get as much coffee as you want, with free unlimited refills.

That’s a really neat use case!
And a very clever implementation.

why?

I use KDE’s defaults.

At my first job I was tasked to create a newsletter (for customers who had subscribed to it).
My boss told me when I’m done and he looked it over, I can send it out myself.
Used the wrong recipient list and sent it to literally every single e-mail address the company had on file.

When thousands of delivery failure notices, confused replies and angry demands to unsubscribe rolled in, my boss told all my colleagues to step outside the office, and then yelled at me for several minutes straight about how I jeopardized his business by trying to be a smartass and I should run everything by him first from now on. Then he called everyone back into the office and, in front of all of them, praised my initiative, work ethic, and go-getter attitude.

All in all, it was a pretty useful mistake. We could update our contact list, actually received lots of interest in the newsletter from people who hadn’t subscribed, and I learnt that my boss is a psycho and could start planning my exit.

Except for Dave, who’s now pursuing new career opportunies elsewhere.

My guess would be that their server was overheating.

That all sounds helpful, useful, and depressing as fuck.
I’m glad I don’t have to deal with all that shit anymore.

GODDAMN IT! I ain’t givin’ you muh Debian, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster!
(but that distro looks sexy as fsck!)

Question from a milleniold abroad: How do you set yourself up for an upper middle class+ job in the US today?

Where I live, the trades are a good alternative if you want to make money earlier in life, but there’s a pretty hard upper limit.
With a university education, you earn nothing for a lot longer, then it takes you at least 10-15 years to catch up, and many never do, but if you want the potential to break out of lower middle class, don’t come from generational wealth, and don’t strike it lucky with founding your own company, there’s no other way.

It used to be my favorite DE by far.
Sucks that they are the last of the popular DEs to still not support Wayland, though.
I logged back into an X11 session recently for some testing. It now feels like going back to the stone age.

With 4GB RAM, a dedicated GPU and a new SSD, you’ll be able to install and run any Linux distro.
For someone who doesn’t want to deal with maintenance, I’d recommend Fedora Kinoite.
The desktop is similar to Windows, you install all programs through the app store, updates are installed when ready during the next reboot, when something goes wrong you can just reboot into the last working state, and the command line is almost entirely useless.

Well I haven’t used Ubuntu in quite a while, so my anecdote is probably just way outdated. But now there are so many other good offerings I see no reason to come back.

They let you run a rock solid stable base OS with updated user applications.
Flatpak makes Debian actually great and removes its biggest drawback.

Your entire comment is screaming for OpenSUSE Slowroll.

Have you ever upgraded the Ubuntu laptop? Cause that’s my main gripe with Ubuntu. Server upgrades work, desktop upgrades never did for me.

Pioneer Space Sim is my favorite. Fly around the galaxy, trade and do combat, with realistic Newtonian physics.

The distro that cured my distro-hopping was Slackware.
It taught me that you can do anything Linux can do in any distro, no matter how obscure, ancient or simplistic.

It also taught me that there is no reward waiting for you on the other side for making your own life difficult.

Went back to Debian knowing I could do it all myself manually, but I don’t have to.

Usually I hate when people ditch an entire distro because they don’t understand or refuse to understand its quirks, but…

Switched to Debian

At least there was a happy ending.
