Growing up in Norway, where roads are narrow, days are short, and snow piles up above a second grader's head, we were taught to use sidewalks, when they are available, or walk on the left (we drive on the right). I think it's supposed to make it easier to see oncoming traffic and get out of the way.

More importantly, though, was to wear reflective clothing. As a driver: please for the love of God don't go running in a black track suit along a dark country road early in the morning. You're not a fucking ninja. Wear something reflective.

Edit: I looked it up and it's actually in the law.

The request has been submitted to uservoice and has 265,567 votes, so it will probably be any time now.

This is a great answer. I will just add that KDE in general exposes more settings in the UI than stock Gnome (but Gnome Tweaks is a thing). If you are the kind if user that just sticks with the defaults, Gnome is probably less confusing to use and what I recommend, but I personally prefer KDE because I like to tweak things.

Dette er bare ansvarsfraskrivelse fra skolen sin side. Det er ingenting teknisk i veien her som ikke kan fikses med enten en enkel sjekk eller automatisk fiks på server siden.

Dette er 100% menneskelig feil og (i beste fall) latskap fulgt av uinteressert byråkratisk stivhet. Hun fortjener en unnskyldning og pengene tilbake. De ansvarlige som feigt gjemmer seg bak "teknisk feil" bør få passet sitt påskrevet.

I know it's ELI5, but this is a common misconception and will lead you astray. They do not have the same level of isolation, and they have very different purposes.

For example, containers are disposable cattle. You don't backup containers. You backup volumes and configuration, but not containers.

Containers share the kernel with the host, so your container needs to be compatible with the host (though most dependencies are packaged with images).

For self hosting maybe the difference doesn't matter much, but there is a difference.

The closest official thing in the US is Labor Day in September. Most people forget it is a workers rights day, though.

From Wikipedia:

More than 150 other countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1, the European holiday of May Day. May Day was chosen by the Second International of socialist and communist parties to commemorate the general labor strike in the United States and events leading to the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago, Illinois, from May 1 – May 4, 1886.

Try to come across friendly without sounding condescending.

First, empathize (I know those things can be tricky, it took me a minute the first time), then offer to help without judgement (I have some experience with these, would you like me to try?), then back off if they say no.

If they refuse help, you've done what you can, end of story. Don't be pushy.

Key point here is to be nice about it. Don't call them out or make them feel dumb. Don't judge. You don't know why they're not getting it, and next time maybe it is you who is "dumb".

Also, don't expect everyone to share your intellect (it's obvious to you) or curiosity (you want to know how it works). Most people just want their problem fixed and move on.

They can and do try to share malware, but distros and software hubs take measures to prevent it. You can read about Flathub's approach in Flathub Safety: A Layered Approach from Source to User

I'm going to interpret "too long" as "longer than I expected". To that I world say the sudden loss of a college friend that I, to be honest, failed to keep in contact with. Still miss that guy.

I take some comfort in that by the time he died, he had turned from being an outcast and victim of bullying to having three wonderful children with a beautiful and loving wife.

And that they didn't use their own printer.
