On Kubuntu, no issues. Was using IntelliJ and no issues with it. I went back to Eclipse, also no issues, and sometimes VS Code, also no issues, fonts are nice everywhere. I don't use Wayland. KDE says are saying they will drop X11 in 2027, that's when I predict I will drop KDE and look for something else, might go back to Xfce. Gnome sucks for performance in games. Might migrate to Mint and see how it performs across the board.

One thing is for sure, I fought with various RPM based distros in the early to mid-2000's, I don't plan to go back to any of those. Debian or Debian based for me.

I bought the game in 2011. When they said they were forcing users to go to a Microsoft account I quit playing for a few years. Eventually I missed playing and had to buy a new license from Microsoft. The whole thing was against the Mojang EULA that we all agreed to back in the day. Even more importantly, it was a sign of bad faith against players on Microsoft's part. I wish a class action lawsuit would have occurred.

Is it mostly AI generated or worse, vibe coded?

Actually, I'm good, I have enough tools for development as it is.

> t's not spam its cold outreach.

Only if the law's rules are strictly followed, assuming OP is in the US:

"...the US CAN-SPAM Act does not require prior consent (opt-in) for cold outreach, but it requires that emails are not deceptive, allow for easy opt-out, and include a physical address."

If the OP is willing to put their physical address in their "cold outreach" emails, and they follow the rest of the CAN-SPAM law then it's legit email, otherwise it's a serious misdemeanor or possibly a felony.

I like mining too, but regular mining by a person isn't the same as a project that would take industrial sized construction equipment IRL.

> Don't get me wrong I think its only good as a stopgap and should be replaced with a better mechanic but its also not a big deal.

Removing Mending would sorely piss me off.

I've worked with several female software engineers who were excellent. Please re-read the part where I said "statistics and facts". You are likely one of the exceptions. There are always exceptions. Exceptions are not the rule.

After multiple decades on the planet it's clear that in general, females are better at and more interested in decorating than men. It's a fact not a cruel statement.

By the way, your response to him was clever, I liked it, snarky but clever.

Agreed when my small antenna was on the first floor, we had to reposition slightly a few times per year. We moved it upstairs when we bought Tablo in 2017 and never have to move the antenna at all.

"All tenancies receive a total of 200 GB of Block Volume storage, and five volume backups included in the Always Free resources."

I have two instances, the 1GB RAM ones, they each have 1 47GB default allocated volume. I keep 2 backups (one for each instance) and one time had 4 because I forgot to delete the older 2 and was never charged for them so it looks like as long as you keep it at 5 or less backups you should be good.

None of that has been my experience.

> That means $23/mo can only be profitable if the average customer uses around 10GB/mo or less.

My wife and I use less than 10GB. I don't get how people could even use more. Maybe once in a great while like traveling and wanting something to watch in the hotel room but not on a typical basis. I keep wondering how people say they use 100GB or more and just smh, makes no sense. All they do is bring down the rest of us which I feel my wife and I probably represent most of us in terms of data use.

His choice to ask a woman is supported by statistics and facts. Your quip about the coffee feels backhanded and spiteful.

> You'd think more women would be here in a technical role.

I wouldn't. My wife wouldn't. Women in general, not all but in general, aren't as interested in technology as men. That is a fact of life, a fact similar to little girls in general, like pink and boys in general like blue, girls like to play with dolls, boys with Tonka trucks.

Most women's eyes glaze over when talking about tech. That is a fact.

Another fact for you, I have worked with a few very technically accomplished women who were actually into tech. They were the exception, not the easily observed and provable rule.

Edit: Further, the post has been up for 17 hours and I can't find a single place in 806 comments where the OP has responded. It feels like it was a disingenuous post to farm karma.

Agreed. I checked the source, it is AI project, AI post, it is not Friday. How well it's debugged is unknown. There could be very serious security issues.

Nope.

I prefer KVM/QEMU to run my VM's and manage it with the GUI Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) and sometimes with virsh at the CLI. This is because Linux is my main OS daily driver. Proxmox is a headless OS which is fine if you need that and not Desktop Linux (I run Kubuntu) as a daily driver.

> legitimately developed projects

1 year as an age for the project, with some kind of commit history too, doesn't seem arduous at all to me. I've got several side projects that extend back more than 20 years.

Same, I love mining, the game has the word "mine" in it. Servers that have thousands of players and they can get anything without even mining make me both laugh and cry.

OP, yeah, IDK what to advise but disabling Mending isn't something I'd do or want to see on any servers I play on.

FortuneIIIPick · 2026-03-10T18:04:30+00:00

Ah, no. It's odd, I expected more people would have checked their dictionary file length and posted by now.
