As someone who used to be a diehard Linux user and supporter, and then switched back to windows after about a decade, this thread is a good reminder of why I switched back. I've been hearing about the year of the Linux desktop for... Years... And yet here are people who suggest I should put up with an incomplete, partially broken display server, because they don't want to deal with maintenance of the old one. And in this thread, any complaint by real users who are missing features or have encountered bugs is met with a dismissal.

You know what? The equivalent of X11 in windows may be full of cruft, technical debt, poorly thought out / "unelegant" design decisions... But it fucking works. I'm sorry, but I have other things to do than dealing with the constant churn of Linux desktop software.

I remember a decade ago when everyone was supposed to switch to pulseaudio, it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, its design was solid and future proof. Migrating from alsa did break everything and was a PITA. And alsa was still there! The fix for many problems was to configure something in the venerable alsamixer. Now apparently we need to migrate to pipewire. All I know is that upgrading broke my rpi4. I don't care about the software, I just want my htpc to play a video with sound when I get back from work. I still had to run alsamixer and flip a few knobs to get it to work again. This is madness.
Well it’s been like this for years and years. “Things won’t always be this good” is hardly an argument not to enjoy them while they last.
No, he didn’t. He had his bank account cancelled because he isn’t rich enough to bank with Coutts. Ironically, a retained EU law means he MUST be allowed to open a bank account, just not the business account he wants.

The difference is that I actually read their report, you didn’t.
RTS games are just too stressful. They require 10+ minutes of full concentration. Whether you've just won or lost an engagement, you better keep up with scouting, building your army, gathering resources, expanding your base, preparing for the next engagement, etc. You get absolutely no downtime.

Every other game gives you downtime. Shorter round based games like fighting games give you time to catch your breath. Respawn time is a reprieve for both sides. Even just being on the queue screen for Starcraft II was enough to get my heartrate up in anticipation for the stressful games.
They're smaller (as in transistor count) and draw much less current than more powerful ones, which in some context (embedded/industrial, etc) is quite important. For simple tasks such as "read a sensor and if value isn' between values X and Y send this message over serial port and turn on relay on GPIO4" anything more than a smallish 8bit (sometimes even less) uC would be a huge waste of resources and potential source of problems since every piece of hardware or line of code added could hide a potential bug, therefore one adds only what is absolutely necessary, and that includes an OS and the beefier hardware required to run it.
'Here in the US'
"The CEOs construct the world -- or at least parts of the world that they deemed relevant -- as a socioeconomic environment in which ideologically opposed, all-encompassing corporations competed for dominance on behalf of their countries and the people that shared their values, while presenting themselves as individuals that were perfectly suited to lead under such conditions."

"In this sense, the CEOs were actively engaged with the transformation of the meaning of ‘competition’ and hence the transformation of the relationships between governments, citizens, companies and major corporations. Whilst a traditional interpretation of competition might entail multiple actors working to establish superiority over each other, for Big Tech, their superiority should not merely be accepted as ‘good’ and necessary, but should be reinforced by the United States and others who support Big Tech’s construct of the American dream to ensure that their shared, techno/opportunity-driven values prevail."
Being lucky enough to always have the time to narrow your job search to a few employers and tailor your resume and cover letter to those few is a privileged position. Many people (like those who have been laid off, just out of college and have student loan debt, or are just in any general position where they need income quickly) have to play the numbers game and literally can’t afford to take this person’s advice.

>The tweet's message that public USB ports have been used by "bad actors"

The tweet doesn't say that, it just says that "bad actors" have developed methods of using USB ports for nefarious purposes. Which has been known for over a decade now, but I don't think there's ever been a recorded case of it being done in the wild.

It doesn't seem like the kind of attack that would be easy to hide either, unless accompanied by some zero day that bypasses the accept data transfer prompt.
It's a form of 'resting'. If you can, just go travel, few days somewhere will make miracles to current mindset.
Yes exactly, to the last part, and by out of spec I meant because of wear and tear.
Well, I bought new car and old computer. For some reason I found $34K for car okay but $1000 for a computer too much. (I work in IT, if that matters).

The problem there is that bagged soil is very expensive, and has to be trucked around a couple times to get it to the store. I picked up like 3 cu yds of compost/topsoil mix from a local horse farm for about 1/5 of the price. Can’t top load into a car/suv.

Trucks are useful but I do wish shared ownership were more convenient, because a ton of miles driven in trucks are not for any of those uses.
More sensors isn't software, that's hardware. What should these sensors do?

What do you mean by refocus and infer depth?

Denoise is done in post processing and can (depending on quality) take a lot of CPU. Not something to do on camera.

I use DxO for processing RAW images. It'll peg all the cores on my desktop to 100%, haven't measured the watts consumption during that but it's not something a little battery can deliver. The idea of running something DxO-equivalent on camera is unreasonable. And why would I want something inferior? I don't see a use case for trying to do post-processing on-camera.
That’s a bit extreme (and disturbing). Got a link for that?

Right, the 486 was only slightly optimized for IPC. Most of the 486's performance over the 386DX was from its L1 cache (or just called CPU cache at the time, there weren't different cache levels yet.) You can turn the cache off in a 486's BIOS and it will be barely any faster than a 386 of the same clock speed.

Fortnite's solution has been bots, which is not very popular because plenty of people think they're above bots. Or think that bots cheat (which is true in Starcraft). Or in fighting games, they don't play like humans so you end up learning bad habits.

I did in fact find it confusing that a very different language was released under the name "Python 3". They probably should have picked a new name rather than capitalizing on the original language's popularity to push their new idea.
I definitely don't. IMO Next/Vercel is a better steward of React than FB was, and turned it into an actual framework usable for a site, not just a UI lib that took ten thousand other libs to make a website out of. The React world is quickly standardizing around Next as most of its stack (maybe with a state manager thrown in if useContext isn't enough) and that makes life a hell lot easier.

And being a Vercel customer has been wonderful. Their systems are so much nicer to work with than legacy web stacks/VMs/containers, or trying to hook something up in PHP or Java. The dev ex is awesome, being able to `create-next-app` and deploy to Vercel in like 3 minutes.
> Have any similar "favorite studies" on hand about alcoholics who underreport alcohol use and overreport abstaining?

Thank you for your genuine concern! Unfortunately, I don't. I track weight loss studies because I had struggled with weight gain and obesity. I am fortunate to have never had a problem with alcohol. I hope you can find the help you need.
On the bottom of page 37 (just before the commandments piece) they list a bunch of different competitive word processor products, but they don't mention WordPerfect which shortly after that was the absolute dominant product for the IBM PC till the rise of Win30 after 1990.

It also doesn't mention Microsoft Word which had also been released months before with a lot of press attention. A few pages later (after the commandments piece) they discuss the Microsoft Mouse which was essentially released to accompany Microsoft Word. Even though Word for DOS never became popular, it did have the first rudimentary WYSIWYG for the PC but you needed a graphics card which most PCs did not have. Would have been a good mention for this issue though.
I am using wayland since 5 years and never looked back to X11. I think it is the right way and time to remove the old insecure X11 backend. GNOME should not be bloated with legacy stuff.
So what battery production prices are falling 10% a year around the same for solar and wind electricity. As more electric car manufacturing ramps up with more investments prices will keep falling.

Most people finance a purchase like cars are paying it over 6-7 years. Today looking at gas prices the fuel cost saving can be anywhere between $100-300 a month depending on how much you drive where you charge. So even if an electric car that is 10k more expensive than ice is actually still cheaper today for a lot of people if you look at monthly expense. And each year it gets cheaper for more people to go electric as electric cars get cheaper. This is going to accelerate the price drops are too rapid for most people to understand cost analysis research from 2 years ago might no longer be valid today and today cost analysis wont be valid in another 1-2 years
> The reality is that many users use untrusted applications that don't have access to home, ergo Flatpak.

I'd like to see this quantified. How many people using flatpack are afraid of their application reading their files, vs using flatpack simply because it's a convenient way to install programs? I don't mean "oh me me!" responses, are there any user surveys to support the premise that average users are afraid of their applications?

Quite frankly I don't believe this level of paranoia is the norm. On Windows and MacOS, applications installed in the normal way can read the files on your desktop. This is the way it as always been on Linux too, with few exceptions. Letting the most paranoid users set the norms is a recipe for irrelevance. How popular is Qubes? It's a pain in the ass.

similar experience here. I wrote a Masters dissertation and the feedback was effectively “why are you introducing and explaining any of these basic concepts, the audience is expert researchers who know this stuff already.” I wanted to be able to give it to a curious friend who isn’t an expert but has enough background that with some help they could understand what the dissertation project was doing.
Well tax payers get benefit from massive the supply chain running on gas and keeping price competitive for millions goods and services.
The happy ending here would be Google being less monopolist with video streaming.

Google has done an outstanding job to use their position making YouTube the streaming platform of the Web, GCP incentives, dominance in smart TV, Google account integration, Android etc. This isn't mentioned enough.

Now we're seeing a strategy towards Premium and anti ad blocking patterns while they remain top and any alternatives just can't get a footing in this space to compete.
I strongly disagree. While rigorous mathematical proof (logic) is a big part of modern mathematical research output, it is an impenetrable barrier to learning for most students, including maths students. I doubt any mathematician ever learned their subject by mainly reading proofs. And I say that as someone who secretly enjoys reading and working through proofs of theorems. Understanding mathematics demands developing strong intuition of ideas before attempting their
logical justification. That rigour and intuition in mathematics education are largely contradictory goals is widely acknowledged by maths teachers; 3BlueBrown, for example, has often mentioned this duality in his videos. It was only in latter part of the twentieth century that the idea of abandoning intuition in teaching mathematics was seriously attempted, by the Bourbakists I believe, and was embraced for a while, before fading away.
With the Bolt gone the cheapest EV you can get is around 35k with most being 40k+

But it’s hardly ever used to represent time offsets in conversational language, especially not backwards in time, only occasionally forwards.

> It's really not going to hold value if a big country (or EU) foribids it.

Haha, how did China banning bitcoin affect anything? Is it just ignorance or racism that you ignore what China did?

> Away from Bitcoin, towards web3 and crypto

Haha, yeah, fuck off, this is not about "crypto". Away from humanity and towards genocide, what have you done to prevent it? I guess it's only fair that I connect you with any random thing I want.

> What is crypto useful for right now? Buying/selling drugs, huge speculation & sending rather big amounts of money across the world (and then converting it to fiat lol).

You don't realize how privileged you are? You have no worries about runaway inflation, you have access to a functioning banking system, your are not concerned about having your wealth stolen, you have no problems sending money anywhere you want to. You're the typical "bitcoin is not useful for me, so it's not useful for anybody because only I matter" crowd.
10/6 gigabit is pretty theoretical. Depends on lengths of the segments, quality of cable and taps, etc., and after those kind of penalties the bandwidth is still shared between everyone on the node.
That's basically just NuttX. Along similar lines is Zephyr, which is actually managed by the Linux foundation and broadly follows kernel conventions where reasonable.

For a few years, I've been using the Redirector add-on [1] to redirect Yotube URLs to various Invidious instances. No ads, and easy to tailor the visual experience to your needs.

Here's my Redirector rule:

Youtube
Redirect: https://www.youtube.com/*
to: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/$1
Hint: Youtube > Invidious instance redirection
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hipBryeDc0E → https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=hipBryeDc0E
Applies to: Main window (address bar)

As a parenting control trick, I also use Redirector to direct some of the more immersive gaming sites to about:blank for our 10yo son. Definitely proud of that hack, ha.

> without any affiliation to the Python Foundation

Sorry, no dice. The Python team said for years as the 2 to 3 rollout grew increasingly catastrophic "If you wan't to keep Python 2 all you have to do is maintain it" and then threatened to sue the guy who called their bluff. It was a real low point in free software.
is there any reason to believe that this is a problem, at all, with modern phones? or is the FBI just warning us about a problem that existed a decade ago and has now been solved.

as far as i know, any somewhat recent version of either android or iOS connect in a charge-only mode to any untrusted USB port. if you want to connect in a way that allows data to flow over the connection, you have to accept a prompt in the phone. should i be worried that this system has been compromised?
A rare occurrence, a few months ago, I came across one (re: a dissertation that is both entertaining and for the lay): Neocosmicism: God and the Void (2013) by Ellen Greenham[1].

I've been carrying an earlier version of those in each bag many years.

They also make guaranteed data-blocking cables cables, but getting the blocker as a dongle means I can carry it plus a data cable for my phone, and not have to carry 2 cables.

Check out Pretext, it's write once, read anywhere software package that supports cross platform publication output including Braille [1],[2].

It's a very powerful authoring and publication system, for example if you're writing an interactive Math book, you could use <sage/> blocks to specify language e.g. Python, write around code blocks, providing references to equations, etc [3].

Fun facts, PreTeXt was originally called MathBook XML thus it has robust support for mathematical formulas [4],[5].

Last but not least, don't let XML being used in Pretext scared you off since XML is great for markup language and anything todo with publication online, printed, Braille, etc [6].

Hmm, https://shell.segfault.net is something that is kinda doing this i guess.
Wait. Does this pass for science in these fields, psychology and medicine? They summarize various statistics from prior papers as if they are trends across space and time (hello sample bias, are there papers that contradict their claims they are omitting because it doesn't fit their thesis?) and then make broad conclusions based on anecdotal evidence and sweeping theories.

This should barely pass as a "kids these days" like-and-share from your grandpa on Facebook that has a bunch of comments from Cheryl about how true it is. Which is tragic, because it's something anyone who spends time with children can figure out... that independence makes for a happy child. But to be published in a journal I thought the point was to find rigorous evidence for such things, not muddy the waters further with vague specious claims.
