Here’s the thing, sidewalks have a speed limit to ensure the safety of everyone on them. Scooters or bikes can go faster, yet get to share that space. Me being mad at these things on sidewalks is me being mad at the city planers not giving them their own lane. Take it from the cars, give them a portal and make it in another dimension, idgaf, get them to a safe speed or away from people walking at 5kmh.

My unpopular opinion: free ram is useless ram. Go on, OS. Put evertyhing into ram. I have 64GB of it. Fill it the fuck up. I want to be able to open things blazingly fast, that’s why its there. The trick is leaving enough so new things can fit without waiting for cleanup. And windows isn’t bad at scaling its usage. Afaik, wIndows installation on 8GB will use less than the same installation when 16GB is available.

If you had unlimited ram, you’d be mad the OS was wasting time cleaning up behind itself.

I found it extremely funny when people started asking for systemd replacements, of all things, after systemd added the ability to store a birth date.

Maybe some of these people can sit somewhere else and I get the whole row?

Location, weather and time is key when eating outside. Have eaten many a meal outside without issue and I prefer it to inside when the three align.

Looks like this is just for storing the data (birth date). Distros can use it and do age restriction or ignore it. Not a big deal imo. Its not like systemd does anything more with the date.

I think kwrite on kde. Arch may come more barebones though.
It’s hard to point to one because linux isn’t an operating system per se… and many distros come with different software packages with different DE’s. That’s where a GUI text editor’s home is, so it depends on that, the distro.

Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!

I eat junk food. I treat my body like a trash can. Doesn’t mean I treat the environment I live in the same. I share that environment with other people. While I may be trash inside, I don’t extend that where it intrudes upon other people. I care more about others than myself. My environment is spotless, I am not.
I think you are wrong.

Afaik, Matrix is also a protocol on which you can build your own thing. To me that was always the biggest draw. The current “Matrix chat” is a reference implementation of that.
A group of developers can take the Matrix protocol and make their own chat app and an organization can be built around it to do operational work and support (hosting). Discord 2 can just be Matrix underneath, not Matrix in name.

Maybe Asus should invest more into linux and start shipping it on their laptops by default? Maybe add an improved software compatibility layer for windows apps to get more people in?

I always tend to use ‘they’ when the gender is unknown. I read it somewhere long ago and thought… wait… why is this plural? And learned it is a gender neutral pronoun. I refer to everyone I don’t know as ‘they’ now. God is more of an ‘it’ in my mind, but that’s beside the point.

Ahem… are we assuming something?! Think about it… if God made us in their image, God is a hermaphrodite with a split personality disorder. Thus males and females. This is basic stuff.

In case anyone was wondering: they’re there in case you change your mind later on and want to transition. God left them there as a backup.

Yup. My entire PC desk (monitor, PC, 2+1 speakers) draw 7W when the PC is turned off (old speakers draw power when off for some reason). For comparison: My NUC server draws 7W white turned on, doing useful work. This infuriates me, so I got a zigbee power switch and shut the PC desk completely off when I’m not home.
If 7W for nothing pisses me off, you’re damn straight an idle or sleeping PC will too!

Nothing like Android no. You get the ability to install apps not available in the webOS store, homebrew basically. This is useful for running hyperion (open source project) for driving your own LEDs behind the TV for ambiance. I haven’t peeked in that scene in a year or two but last time I did, the latest TV’s or latest updated TV’s were not easily hackable.

Sony offloaded manufacturing to TLC. They made a joint venture and TLC gets to manufacture and distribute them, Sony does development. Sony still has control. What we may see in the future is build quality decline. I doubt it’s gonna effect the software much.

Some SOTA bullshit!

Normies just wont. It is just not what they do. And they are the majority.

And that’s actually a good thing. If 90% of users used ad blockers on youtube, their profit model wouldn’t work and they’d stat locking more behind a subscription or they’d double down on cracking adblockers. We can enjoy an ad blocked youtube experience because the majority of users don’t.

So… uh… laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now…
