Being An Engineer Means Being A Professional And Using Correct Technical Terminology!

Being an engineer means being a professional and using correct technical terminology!

It is "Gas driven high impedance issues with the hardware."

Not " I forgot to plug it in "

To be fair, a lot of goofy-sounding rocketry/aerospace terminology has a legitimate nomenclatural role beyond just being silly euphemisms.

"Unplanned rapid disassembly", for example, exists as the necessary counterpart to planned rapid disassembly: sometimes a rocket is legitimately supposed to fall apart or blow up, so you need a specific term to emphasise that it wasn't supposed to do that.

Similarly, "lithobraking" was coined by analogy with aerobraking (shedding velocity via atmospheric friction) and hydrobraking (shedding velocity by landing in water), and it does have some intentional applications; the Mars Pathfinder probe, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Martian surface while surrounded by giant airbags, and reportedly bounced at least 15 times before coming to rest.

(That said, aerospace engineers absolutely do use these terms humorously as well, because engineers are just Like That.)

Like... I tell people that if they want the "It just works" experience, they should install Linux mint and move on with their life.

Now you no longer need to check the news if windows have snuck another thing that spies on you into your PC and you now need to manually turn it off. ( If Linux distro did that it would not have any users 12 months later... so they don't) .

There is no longer ads you risk clicking on by default embedded into your OS and programs. You cannot click on anything bad that can fuck up your machine ( User space protects ) because... it is YOUR computer. It is insane that this level of "don't have to worry. You are safe" is a feature on Linux... that should be a basic thing for every OS...

There is no obfuscation. Anything you want to see, change or control, you can. Everything is made to show you, the user, as clearly as possible what is going on. And if you don't like something, you can change it. 100% of the time. You do not have to hope that a UX designer remembered to give you settings and Daddy Microsoft allows you to do it.

When something is hard to see,understand or change in Linux, it is because it is a complex difficult thing. It is NEVER because a dude gets a salary for optimizing obfuscating how things work.

And it is not MAGIC. People who design and manage linux distroes are not a special race of humans with better ehtics and design skills than the lesser folk of windows and mac

You know what it is? Healthy competition. That thing so many people are in favor for in theory but not in practice.

It is because open source means the distros that get popular is THE ONES THAT THE USERS LIKE THE MOST.

And not just the Linux distro. Every tool. Every functionality. Every program and library. If the users want to use a competitor, they just can.

Like... my sibling in christ... stop begging Microsoft to fix visual studio so everything does not break if a file or folder have a space in it.

It have been 28 years. It is never happening.

Get ovet to Linux. Stop begging for features in Windows. In linux you DEMAND them. In linux you get them.

Because in Linux we BUILD them.

"I like windows. It just works."

No Jim.

No the fuck it doesn't.

If you write "git" and follow what it says, it have you creating a dummy repo as the second command it tells you to use in the tutorial.

So "just write git and press enter" gets the same result as your recommendation :3

Honestly... my advice when people ask how to learn git is:

1 Open a console.

2 Write "git"

3 press enter.

Now read and follow instructions.

Git is OLDSCHOOL.

Meaning it is a self documenting program

Huh... comes preinstalled on basically all linux machines.

Only windows machine I worked on from fresh install in a while is my work pc. Guess that was done by the build team before. My bad :3

1 Open a console.

2 Write "git"

3 press enter.
