Is the author of that article clickbait garbage actually not aware of KDE Discover, Gnome Software, bauh, and likely others? It has been possible to manage flatpak remotes and packages via GUI for years ...
“Any suggestion that our commitment to continued investment in global health has reduced, is fundamentally untrue,” Dr. Thomas Breuer, the company’s chief global health officer, wrote in a statement.
The company told ProPublica [...] that a vaccine for TB is radically different from the company’s other vaccines because it can’t be sold at scale in wealthy countries.
This is the best summary I could come up with. I am not a bot ;-)
On one side, critics lambasted Jackson as a dupe for having smart devices in the first place; [...]
Yah ... that.
It never occurred to me, that people would use calibre to read books. I only use it to move books between devices (kindle →PC ⟷ smartphone) and to strip DRM. The stripping of DRM is actually my primary motivator to use calibre.
Sounds like you want to use KDE.
If you're referring to wintermute, that's the name of an AI from a Gibson novel. Soo, pretty common among cyber punk nerds online. My name is an allusion to one character from that series, too: count zero.
We do what we must, because we can!
As other comments have pointed out, I'm not convinced the premise of your question is correct. I'll throw in Slimbook to increase the sample size:
I don't get it. Care to elaborate?
Never mind. I got it.
The text portion of your comments and posts lives on everywhere where it was federated. All images uploaded to the instance are gone.
The terms cult and culture have the same problem(s) as sect and religion. There is no one clear-cut definition, but many competing definitions, most of which are kind of vague or ambiguous. Both sect and cult are usually used in us versus them narratives. If you pick a random person and try to discuss if and why something is a cult/sect or culture/religion you are almost guaranteed to run into unresolvable conflict because you'll likely have different definitions in mind. The obvious solution is to settle on a common definition beforehand, but that will just cause the next conflict because there are so many and there is no obviously correct one.
People often bring up an aspect of control as the defining characteristic of cults/sects. Does that make all states cults? Does that mean every major Christian denomination was a sect 200 years ago?
Another common definition is that of a new group splitting off from the established group. Does that mean the entirety of Christianity is just a jewish sect?
Most definitions, when applied rigorously, imply that every culture/religion has been a cult/sect at least for some time in the past. And here comes the trouble: Most people from some culture/religion will provide you with a definition for cult/sect, when arguing about it, but will not accept when you apply it to theirs and point out that by that definition it either is a cult/sect, or was 200/500/1000 years ago. Because most people use those terms to denote otherness possibly even in a pejorative way.
In an academic context (for example anthropology or history) the distinction between cult and culture or sect and religion can be useful when a definition is given in the context and it is applied consistently. Outside of academia those terms aren't very useful beyond instigating people against each other or minorities, solidifying circle jerks, or starting flame wars.
My nonprofessional take on it:
Every culture started out as a cult and all cultures are or have been horrid given the opportunity.
Every religion started out as a sect and all the sects' and religions' fairy tales are equally ridiculous when observed from the outside.
The distinction between cult and culture, and sect and religion, has no net positive benefit outside of academia and should be avoided outside of fiction.
Konsole from the KDE suite has CTL support: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/konsole/konsole/complex-text-rendering.html
I think mlterm has too. And likely others.
Why does this photo(?) look like digital concept rendering from ~2000 without antialiasing?
What kind of ammunition is that supposed to work with?
What do you mean by passthrough here? Usually passthrough refers to passing through a GPU to a virtual machine. And there is no cooperation whatsoever required between the GPUs for that. That makes me think you're talking about offloading: one GPU controlling the display, while the other does the heavy lifting of 3d rendering. Last time I checked - several years ago - that is impossible with the proprietary nvidia driver, unless you have hardware that supports that, like prime in laptops. The only way to do offloading to a nvidia card without such hardware was to use the open source driver nouveau. And at the time there was absolutely no point in offloading with nouveau because it had such terrible performance. Now, this might have changed on several fronts since then; so take it with a grain of salt.
It's actually a bug in my client (Boost): https://unilem.org/comment/1749581
I've never seen this on the web, Jerboa, or Boost.
*JetBrains. IntelliJ IDEA is their java/kotlin IDE.
Well, the administrative account went by "wintermute". Good luck finding a wintermute online that's actually them.
While we're at it: Villa Straylight is the name of an abandoned space habitat from the same series ;-)
I mean, they are fine books!
I like the idea of a federated network of lots of smallish instances. You're absolutely right, though, that some flux is to be expected, and evident.
This is victim blaming.
Only to some degree. The guy is a software engineer and should have known better. I'd agree if it was Jenny from accounting. You could just as well point out "victim blaming" when I called someone a moron for jumping from a three storey building and breaking his legs, because it was neither his intention nor was he aware that it could break his legs. For a software engineer to employ cloud based "smart" devices and then wonder if it backfires is borderline moronic.
Weird. Must be some scaling issue in Boost. It even looks like that when I view it full screen and zoom in:
Sorry, I am too much of a KDE user to answer that question. In Discover you can add, remove, and order remotes via settings in the GUI. I'd assume it would be the same in Gnome Software, but I might assume wrong. If your distro does not ship it by default, you'll need to install a plugin.
That hardware is so fascinating (in hindsight): I love that it had a hardware jpeg decoder. Fun times.
Thanks for the pointers. I'll have to look at that sometime.
Huh. I played with my penis. And an Atari 1040ST (a few years later).
[...] Outlook [...] it is the best email client by far [...]
You must be kidding. I get it that you might be required to use it for work (I've been in that boat more than once). But outlook is a terrible, buggy, and infuriating clusterfuck of an email client. There are so many better alternatives. It has piss-poor handling for different encodings, still not defaulting to utf8. Randomly showing garbled Chinese letters to some people sometimes for no obvious reason. Losing connection to Exchange for hours without telling you. Still not supporting quoting standards which have been around for three decades. The settings are a convoluted mess. Filtering can only be done via a super clunky and unintuitive GUI; no scripting support. I could go on and on and on ... The only thing where it is arguably better than other alternatives, is with the calender integration and for planning meetings. But that is only because that is not a common email client feature, hence why most email clients don't have it at all. But even for that there are alternatives which are on par if not better. Kontact from the KDE suite comes to mind. I mean, which demented mind at Microsoft thought it was a good idea, that an email equals a calendar entry for a meeting? The obvious way to implement it is that you have two things that are linked, that reference each other: one email, one calendar entry (like everybody else implements it). Microsoft: emails and calendar entries are the same thing - delete one, lose the other. I can not wrap my head around how anybody can have used outlook and comparable alternatives and come to the conclusion that the infuriatung dumpster fire of outlook is "the best thing". Either you haven't really worked with a meaningful number of alternatives, are trolling, or have some severe mental issues (Stockholm syndrome?) that you should seek help for.
Learn to read. That was an exclusive or list with mental issues as one option. Nowhere did I say anything about a handicap.
Many people have mental issues: I get the thousand-yard stare when I see the outlook interface.
All the other comments kind of suggest otherwise, but I am pretty certain that fedora comes with firewalld enabled by default.
