High Street, same as Highway, come from Old English, where high denoted not only elevation, but also status/rank/quality.

You can see this in a lot of other Modern English words. For example, a high sheriff, a high priest or high society aren't called high because they are very tall.

Yep. Toxic community members and fanboys are never a good thing.

That's a good idea, thanks!

Yeah, the thing is, people in that kind of situation usually stop asking questions or stop using Linux alltogether.

These toxic fanatics that keep attacking everyone who could use help with using Linux are at least as effective at keeping the market share of Linux low as Microsoft's anticompetitive behaviour is.

And, tbh, anyone who hasn't had a problem with Linux where they had to spend >5h to fix it probably hasn't done anything else than using Linux to launch a browser.

All that blue milk needs to come from somewhere.

Gui's? What letter does the apostrophe replace? Did you mean to say "gui is"?

So "gui is are for idiots"?

Maybe the idiot is the one who doesn't know how apostrophes work?

Does Mac prohibit other browser engines like they do on iOS?

Doesn't do a lot of good, that they let you use other browsers if they are just reskins for Safari.

WSL is really easy to setup by now. In the beginning it was really terrible.

Now all you need to do (if you are fine with Ubuntu) is open CMD with admin rights and input wsl --install.

If you want another distro, it's wsl -l -o to check the available distros and wsl --install -d to install it.

More documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

I really want to use the Alchemy Jar in a game. But I never found a way to fit it into the story.

Oh easy, just draw what the players see and let them discover the rest as they go.

Then throw the right player a trigger line and you have half an hour to draw the next 5 lines.

Vim can do much more than nano, but for it to work, quite a few specific stars need to align, and if they don't you are screwed.

Nano on the other had just works. If it exists in your env.

Hopefully... Recent developments look more like they are using unmoderated social media to radicalize themselves and plan real shit.
