I get that part. I was wondering if by doing it all at once you somehow gain significantly over doing it normally. I doubt it, but prepared to learn otherwise. If it is much quicker to swap everything in maybe it is worthwhile to expose this functionality directly instead of doing hacks like swap off/on.
I don't think it's a technical problem and I think the problems the articel points out are social and economic problems. I once started to design a protocol that could be used to build a decentralized social network. (FOSP https://github.com/maufl/fosp-specification) However, I now think that a peer-to-peer solution would be better, even if it is technically more challenging, as it would not require anybody to run a server and untilize the resources the users already pay for (storage, network connection).

Well, I can guarantee you that Apple doesn't follow you all over the Internet like Google does (edit: and Facebook with its like buttons and commenting platform, probably to lesser extent than Google's analytics and ads). Presumably they're also not making money from your traffic (we can't prove it neither way).

I've gone very far in limiting what Google has on me. But if my goal was simply to ditch Google completely, iOS is a completely valid point. So is Vimeo.

No.
I hope you're not using a potential bug as evidence of malfeasance.

There's really no argument here. Google is the world's #1 internet activity-tracking organization.

Apple is a hardware company that has data retention policies roughly somewhere around what one would expect for the pervasiveness of it's technology. I don't have to like either, but I'd be a fool to think that we're talking about equal amounts of intrusion.

Just what Google could do with the same amount of phone tracking, tied to all the other information it gathers from the multitude of other gathering apparatuses it operates makes an Andriod the less privacy minded option.
Can we get a TL;DR?

The interesting thing here is managing to implement LoRa's modulation scheme in a passive tag.
I've been using Arch as my daily dev / personal machine for years now. No complaints, it just works (Thinkpad Carbon X1).
Sounds like this is just to spite Google. Moving from one beast (google) to another (apple) seems unreasonable.
Sorry, just seen this.

Partly - FTTC is run over BT's network all the way through to 27 regional POPs where it is passed over to the providers network, or they can opt to use the BT network instead.
There is a policy where, if an AUR package gets popular enough (I think it is around 15 'votes' in favor), it is added to the official repository.

There are notable exceptions where the package license doesn't allow that. E.g. chrome (not chromium) spotify and dropbox.

Interesting -- this is what I would say about Arch. I switched to Arch right after the systemd transition, so I'm sure I missed a big opportunity for breakage. But in those four years I've barely had to think about system administration, beyond routinely running pacman -Syu. I used to have to do a fresh install every six months when a new Fedora would break everything. I don't think this makes me a member of the cognoscenti at all, and I think the whole "Arch is for the l33t" meme is wildly inaccurate. Arch is by far the easiest distro I've ever used.

These tariffs were effectively a tax on slavery and a redistribution of income from agriculturalists in the south to industrialists in the north. The major cause of the South's succession may have been slavery, but the immediate cause can still be these taxes which were putative to slavery. They didn't suceed in response to the emancipation proclamation.

Don't read it like this:
rename <expression> <replacement file> ...

Read it like this:
rename <expression> <replacement> <file(s)...>

Argument 1 is a string (not a regex), argument 2 is string to replace the old string, and arguments 3+ is a file, or list of files, or a glob.

The man page includes a warning about the lack of safeguards. It is unfortunate that rename doesn't have an equivalent of mv or cp's -i flag because it's so easy to overwrite files if your expressions aren't exactly correct.

On some Ubuntu systems, I've seen another version of rename that's actually a Perl script that uses regular expressions. I think that version lets you set some safeguards, which are sorely lacking in the binary version of rename that ships with CentOS.
I've heard from insiders Apple has the same tech as the Hololens andthat the Hololens and the Magic Leap tech are essentially the same (Microsoft seems to be actually ahead with the inside out tracking solution). Magic Leap was ahead with their first prototype but it was the size of a fridge. Microsoft and Apple probably had or have acquired similar tech since then.

And yes iPhone X is really smart.

No, because there is all of the burden of a company from outside the EU doing business with EU companies. And not talking about the restriction on data protection.

Is it a bug though, or a feature? On Windows 10 regular updates do the exact same thing and revert your privacy settings back to default, as far as I know.

You can use Android outside of the Google ecosystem. I have Firefox as my main browser on Android, and I dont use Google Play stores, while iOS gives you no option to use alternatives.
While I agree with your points about collecting empirical and unbiased data, I want to point out that when it comes to opioids, "Science" is moving the goal posts. They are measuring social acceptability of a subject while under the influence of doctor-prescribed dope, while ignoring the numerous addicts who maintain similar levels of social acceptability while using Street dope, then declaring their method a "success".

Regarding Linux Mint, how do you feel about their issues surrounding timely delivery of security updates? https://www.infoworld.com/article/3182824/

Another problem with any Ubuntu-based distro is that packages in Universe don't receive security update support.
I've hit the same kind of problem before. Big task runs & eats all the memory. Later on, a login to the machine or existing shells are horribly slow until they get swapped back in.

However, swapoff/swapon only solves part of the problem - you still have binaries, libraries and other file-backed memory that were thrown out under the memory pressure and they won't be reloaded with the swapoff/swapon. Does anyone know how to force these kinds of things to be re-loaded before they are needed again?

Ive gone through a lot of distros Mint, Ubtuntu, Debian, Fedora, mint (again), Debian (again), etc.

However, when I finally got to Arch I did so because I had no choice. I recently bought a new graphics card and it was the only one supporting many of the new features out of the box. The Linux kernel is always up-to-date, and I haven't had an upgrade problem in the 2 years I've been using it.

It's been interesting, because my second Debian computer which I keep around as a server has way more issues. It appears Arch supports more hardware, and in general (due to minimialist style) works a bit better on machines.

Idk just my two cents
Another vote for Fedora here. I've been running it for years on multiple different desktops and laptops, it has been really rock solid. The only thing I would say in favour of Ubuntu (and by extension, Mint) is that because they are targeted more at a 'beginner' Linux user, there tends to be more documentation/tutorials online (e.g. "how to do X in Ubuntu"). Of course with some experience and googling, most of those are easily adapted to other distros too.
If someone replaces a drug that's doing them very serious harm with a drug that doesn't do them harm, I don't see the problem.[1] I take doctor prescribed medication daily that I could live without but it significantly increases my quality of life, I don't see a difference between me and a person who is on methadone but otherwise well in life - has job, money, clothes, friends, community, etc.

[1] Xanax has a lot of problems with long term use though, so Xanax, specifically, would likely not be a good candidate.

My MIL replaced alcohol and cocaine addictions with a coffee addiction. It's been over a decade and she doesn't seem to have any significant negative outcomes with the coffee and coffee is cheap and readily available almost everywhere.

I think people forget Google didn't 'invent" Android and that it is an open source project based on Linux with many outside contributors.

There are open source google-free builds of Android like CopperheadOS which focuses on security and privacy. Many of those security improvements even make it into Google Android builds eventually.

We do have some real choices on hardware that happens to ship with Google Android but Apple devices should not be a consideration if one wants to maintain their ability to have choices.

It depends on when you next need to use the system. If it is immediately after the memory hogging code exits, there's probably not much of a win.

But if you run the memory hogging program, then go to lunch, if the swapoff/swapon is triggered before you get back, you will be avoiding the delays entirely.

It is an improvement, because Google is one of the greatest privacy offenders. Almost any company except Facebook and the other tracking-people-for-money would be better than them.

Android is a hopeless cause. If the platform developer's goal is to get all information about you that it can, it's pointless to try software workarounds.

And recommending software developed by Chinese companies for privacy purposes must be a joke.

If you want to use Chinese phones as alternative, be picky, use only large international brand, and good luck.

The money from facebook's balance sheet doesn't end up in your pocket because they have a use better for it than you. If they can earn $1.1 on every $1 in their balance sheet then it's in your interest that it's not landing in your pocket. Dividends are paid out because companies have excess profit that they can't further invest to make more revenue. You as an investor can then redirect the money to another company X that badly needs it as opposed to facebook directly investing in company X.

A token has no value.

It's inconvenient to acquire entire large companies and then liquidate them.
So what we do is we divide the company into a million little pieces of paper that cannot be liquidated if you don't own all of them. Of course you are now mad that you can't liquidate your share but unless you owned all shares you couldn't liquidate them previously either. Nothing has changed in this regard.

Except ownership of miniscule parts of companies is now a whole lot easier and quicker. It's no longer a privilege of people with a multi billion networth!
