Here is a container of DIR.
Which is called a pen! Hmmm.

I guess most Windows users don't know what DIR is or even where to use it.

"Do you use DIR?"
User: "Do I use what? And don't call me dear."

Opening a folder in Explorer automatically shows the contents, saving the need for an extra step.

Yes, a directory is a list of items. Like a telephone directory. A folder is a container of items.

In 2009 I added Folder to the Wikipedia page Directory (computing) Explaining the Folder Metaphor in both English and German (Verzeichnis/Ordner). My clarification has been tweaked and altered slightly to bring it into line with Wikipedia standards, but it has stood the test of time.

I always use the term folder in Linux circles when referring to a container of things. It's useful to stress the importance of the user interface, which is often misunderstood by many there. Be proud!

I joined Github and others, years ago to report bugs in software. But now I rage quit Github. No more bugs from me unless you move your application to a more acceptable platform. I suggest every bug reporter user do likewise. Screw Microsoft.

To a non IT person who hasn't heard of apt, needing to start the update manually, and needing type some magic words in precisely, is the worst it can get.

It's clear why many Windows users won't switch to Linux, when people show them they'd need to use strange IT tools to use it. While, annoying, Windows doesnt need you to be an IT nerd. Linux doesn't either, but to people outside of the Linux bubble, this is how it gets presented. That Windows update sure looks easier than some manual hack.

Maintenance is another huge benefit of EVs.

Some places have plenty of open space that nobody sees. Solar farms there are usually fine. Some places are beautiful countryside with hills between small villages. The nimbys are probably right. Quite ugly, unless they are somewhere you can't see. Additionally, industrial buildings and city rooftops should be used, as well as car parks if you can keep the costs low.

More than a decade ago I joined github among other systems, in order to report bugs to FOSS projects. Now I quit GitHub as it's too risky being on there. So if a project wants bug reports, go somewhere users data is not put at risk. Or go without bug reports.

Newer cobbled roads might be to make cars drive slower.

I get more bike maintenance issues if my route to work has a lot of cobbled roads. I end up taking longer routes to avoid the cobbles. There are not enough dedicated cycle paths.
