I created a symlink to the directory the symlink is in. If I try and simply ‘delete’ the symlink in a file browser it tells me that gigs of data will be deleted

That beginners guide says to avoid creating circular symlinks. What if, entirely hypothetically, I already have a circular symlink?

Linux Mint on desktop, laptop, and home server. Doesn’t hurt to have the full install on the server, and I have a monitor hooked up anyway - but makes maintenance easier with everything the same distro. Batocera on the retro gaming pc.

Android on phone, but if there was a distro for my phone I would use Linux there too. F-droid for apps where possible, but Play store for some essentials.

I found the same about engagement - every post had 5000 comments but only the top 100 could generate actual conversation, everyone else might as well be talking to themselves

I browse by new, so I often see the spam advertising and bad faith garbage (Logic_&_Ethics anyone?) so I just block liberally

I literally don’t know what I’m missing

ETA: I also don’t have a language set, so if I see a foreign language community with no English posts or comments I’ll just block it

I thought reading The Grapes of Wrath was like watching Requiem for a Dream - I’m glad I did it once, and I will never do it again

I love every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee…

If it is powered on but blank screen, you can try terminating the user session from a terminal

I love that the best example they can find is a couple who spend only 140 days a year in France, despite the rules allowing 160 days a year. They obviously only go there for particular seasons: They’re not residents, they’re tourists

They’re also not actually prevented from continuing to do it, and despite how important this is said to be to them, it was just “too much hassle”

I find these articles interesting as it seems that non-manufacturing contexts rediscover manufacturing principles constantly

Your critical path includes surgeons, your surgeons are a bottleneck, having minimal but non-zero prepped patients available is an inventory buffer

Do you have a Monty Hall problem, or does Monty Hall have a you problem?

Only if Monty Hall didn’t know where the prize is

Say there are 100 doors, you choose one, then 98 are knocked out randomly (likely including the prize) - Now each of the 2 doors has the same chance of winning, so there is no reason to change

But starting with 100 doors and a knowledgeable Monty Hall, once you’ve chosen a door, the only reason Monty Hall leaves your door alone is because you chose it, whether it is the 1/100 winner, or one of the 99/100 losers

Either you chose the right door the first time (1/100 chance) or the other door has the prize behind it - those are the only options - the other door literally represents the 99/100 other doors in a single choice

I couldn’t even describe a single scene, I watched the whole thing but I was young and only retained the fear

There is no way you’ll ever catch me saying Candyman more than once
