I seem to recall reading that Gary Holt or Jack Gibson, either from Exodus, claim that despite being known worldwide as a thrash metal act they have to support themselves selling t-shirts, since their earnings from touring, albums or streamings won't cover their expenses
It was likely all of them, but the more famous quote recently from Gary is, “People think, ‘Oh, you're a rich rock star.’ No. I sell shirts outta my fucking closet.”
I'd argue the Wayland hate is much worse. Not that it might be bigger than the hate on systemd, but contrary on the case of the systemd, there are no other real alternatives to wayland nor x. Wayland is attempting to improve over x but some (really noisy) people just suffer from fear of the new.
Makes you wonder if that's where they got the name of Palantir, since Denethor went mad by using one (at least according to the Peter Jackson movies, I reckon the situation was different in the books).
That’s pretty much what happened in the books. More accurately he lost all hope for the world after being fed visions by Sauron to manipulate him. Hey wait…
Thats true, but in the books, Denethor is competent and a seasoned strategist and has a battle of strategy with the witch king, one upping them in most instances, answering with brilliant maneuvers to the brilliant maneuvers of the witch king.
Perhaps that's why Sauron's trick is to use the Palantir to show him some things while hiding others, so as to convince him that his every move would be futile.
I'm not sure even this is what destroys Denethor's mind though so much as it is the thought of the ring. He sees it as his by right of need. He sacrifices both his sons in his madness to have it, for the madness of power. His view of the world is so bleak that saving it in a way that destroys it seems "right" to him
In the extended edition of Two Towers they show him in a flashback of Gondor retaking Osgiliath.
It's not a particularly flattering portrayal- the military success is shown as belonging to Boromir more than Denethor- but at least it shows him sane.
My parents bought an automatic Orient watch for each of them in the 70s - those that don't require batteries nor anything. My mother's watch was stolen somewhere in the 2010s and my father broke the crystal and kept stored for like 15 years or so. Just some weeks ago I remembered about it and sent it to service - now it looks and works like new and the service itself wasn't expensive. I'm pretty amazed.
I started working for a clock and watch repair shop a few months ago after deciding it has better job security than computer programming :) I change batteries, replace crystals and hands etc
I thought I would like the mechanical puzzles (not all that different than debugging programs) but now my favorite part is just knowing I’m keeping a talisman going, for someone to pass on to their grandkids, and it’s true that the well-made stuff can last centuries with occasional service.
Even Linus Torvalds himself acknowledges they have done some outstanding pieces of software (and I wholeheartedly agree with every word he says on this clip - it's absolutely on point about this thread's topic).

> A full country list inside a native `<select>` has several structural limitations:
> No filtering. Users cannot narrow the list by typing
But you can use an `<input type="text">` instead and add a `<datalist>`[0] to it with the list of countries and you will be able to filter them by typing. Granted, it still has no full support (namely, firefox), but still that's much better than a `<select>` with no filtering ability whatsoever.
Not sure why this is not more known, though, I've seen it just like a couple of times in the wild. Now, back to job searching...
