> given that developers are the one group of people today that don't generally have a problem running Linux on the desktop.
I am a developer; and I do have a problem: I don't have a choice of good laptops that are guaranteed to work with linux, and preferably come with linux preinstalled. I can go buy a macbook, or a windows laptop; but I can't walk into a store and buy a linux laptop.
System76 is guaranteed to work, right? Also preinstalled if you like. Then there's also Tuxedo (which I understand are only rebranded chinese OEMs but still...)
I don't know any store that actually has system76 laptops, and even we take "online" as a store (I don't) - the laptops are unfortunately not competitive at all.
The sibling comment that suggests framework is much stronger in this respect, and it's a name brand which might actually get the buyers at large stores to take some notice.
Well, DHH managed to attract Dell, which are kinda sorta promising through a single representative that their new XPS laptops are fully tested with Omarchy:
So that's encouraging. But still, I don't see any acknowledgement on the Dell site (apart from a single blog post) about their stance on supporting and testing linux on their laptops.
Dell have pre-installed & fully supported Ubuntu on a bunch of their Precision, XPS, and, more recently, Pro laptops for over a decade now.
Those supported models are always a good choice for running other Linux distros, too (I've run a vanilla Debian on 3 different models during that time without having the do anything special).
As I understand it, Omarchy isn't really doing any low-level development work - it's just an opinionated set of defaults & various non-free add-ons on top of Arch. Any laptop supported by Arch will work.
Far too often the answer has been that it doesn't matter, because the reason you stopped using Jira is the company stopped sending paycheques.
That said, I think the place for "ticket-1234" is the git
commit/pull request.
Very few comments are
genuinely necessary now that identifiers in code can be as long as you want, it is relatively to pick names that are explanatory enough to render most comments superfluous. 1% exceptions for unusual algorithms. (You're using named consts/enums rather than magic numbers, yes?)
They don’t, unfortunately. Any time I bring up the wonders of Elixir/Erlang or how great Postgres is, their eyes glaze over unless they have some kind of technical background. I’ve had many conversations where people were surprised there’s more than one programming language, they assume it’s some sort of 1s and 0s that flash past the screen Hollywood style.

Could you explain what is wrong with the accessibility of this page? All the content is included in the html payload, so it is accessible to screen readers and text-based browsers; and as for the "reveal" effect, it seems to respect user's choice of "prefers reduced motion" and is disabled when that is user's preference.
> it seems to respect user's choice of "prefers reduced motion".
Cool, that I didn't check, because it is impossible to enable that setting, as it breaks _huge_ amounts of websites.
I'm not aware of a way to enable it selectively, but one could also just display the content at all times. It's a static page. It's static content. None of this makes any sense.

The idea behind that style of gradual reveal is probably some kind of storytelling, but the only story it tells is that mozilla is wasting donations on people with incorrect opinions that could be used on.. idk not building torment nexii?
Not OP; but I would define it as a cluster of specific and strongly held opinions on several topics, such as race/ethnicity, sex, migration, climate change. These opinions cluster together, and produce certain recognizable behaviors including speech patterns, speech taboos, and aggressiveness towards people who do not share these opinions.
Could you not define MAGA in exactly the same way? The opinions are different, but since you haven't said what they are, the definition works for either.
You were right, and this comment stuck with me so I have decided to go ahead and implement it.
Every course now has a "work in your own editor" mode: you can download a zip with the starter code for every lesson plus a run_tests.sh that runs the full test suite locally. After that, you can push it to a public GitHub repo, we will judge it based on our grading system and internal tests
