OrderS of magnitude? How heavy does this guy think we are?

Yeah, adding a separate microarchitecture like amd64v3 would be a separate item. They might be able to do that with amd64v3 overlay repos that only contain packages that most benefit from the newer microarchitecture.

Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects

Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code

It's a distilled version that becomes a potion in your stomach. There are several versions of this, my favourite of which is "instant bubbling potion, just add water"

The OpenStack website has a list of cloud providers who use OpenStack for their clouds. https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/public-clouds/

Pretty amazing that years of effort from massive competitors like Epic and Microsoft haven't managed to crack this. I wonder what they're doing wrong?

(Ok I lied. I know exactly what they're doing wrong and there's zero chance of them changing.)

Bash

Not because it's the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn't worth it for me.

Much more appealing to me is running Android apps on Linux officially. I don't want to use Android as my main system, but I sure as heck would love to have one or two Android apps available on my Linux Machines.

If you want to double that emotional damage for Greece, you could call them the Turkish Republic of South Macedonia

Or, better yet, they could provide the same range in smaller, lighter vehicles with less resource use.

Because automobile regulation in the US is an absolute joke.

If meatballs and mashed potatoes with lingonberry sauce are against the Geneva convention it's probably time we had on Oslo convention.

Should've gone with "Dozing Don"

The patriarchy

I had a coworker at a previous job who used to take naps in the bathroom stall because it was the only place in the office with a bit of privacy.

I kinda get it. I used to sit in a stall to decompress my brain because open plan offices are incredibly stressful to me. Every couple of hours I needed ~10 minutes of privacy.

Quick plug for the Behind the Bastards series on Jobs

If there were an occasional thing where I looked at it and thought "wait, is this Loss?" that would be funny. But I see them way too frequently for them to be funny. They need to be subtle and occasional, taking one off guard. Instead they're frequent and unsubtle.

The top one is obviously tech support for your appliances. Why else would they be wearing a headset?

Iridium quality cereal? ConcernedApe is so good to us!

Not if Nickelodeon is right next to Cartoon Network. You hit "last" and then change the channel. That also gives you cover for why you're holding the remote and changing channels.

Tau'ri, you say?

How about Nodaho.

No map. It's just a lack of Idaho.

KDE Connect or Nextcloud. My phone has USB 2, but I can easily top 1 Gbit/s over wifi.

Until the user experience is not "spend hours on forums to find hacky fixes for things that just work on Linux" it's gonna be a tough sell.

Why I personally can't go back to Windows.

Ea-nāṣir gonna be getting complaints about the quality of cocoa

Probably because it's a template and somebody copied and pasted without remembering to paste as plaintext

Well how is it untypical?

Next they're going to add passive voice to further confuse the issue. "A pickup truck was made contact with by two vehicles..."

My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It's still not enough

This isn't the general election. I'm in Michigan and all of the Uncommitted stuff I've seen has been "vote uncommitted in the primary to show your displeasure, then vote for the Dem in the general because the alternative is way worse."

If someone's saying that about 30fps they should just set their refresh rate to 30 and move their mouse.

Obviously piracy would be terrible and nobody would do it, but imagine how great GBC games would be on the Steam Deck if such a thing were possible! I'd probably play those pretty regularly!

The problem isn't that every gnome dev is bad - not by a long shot. The problem is that there are just enough gnome devs in just the right (wrong?) positions who have an "our way or the highway" philosophy that it causes problems not just for people trying to use GNOME, but for people (such as the Kate developers) who are trying to give their users a good experience.

And by being the default in so many distros, GNOME has enough clout that if they choose to abandon a standard, many people will change to whatever GNOME does, making their applications worse for people on other desktops.

In the end it's not too dissimilar to the problems created by the dominance of Chromium and Windows. The biggest difference IMO is that Google are actually more conciliatory towards others than the GNOME team are in many cases. Which is kinda crazy given how much Google can throw their weight around on the web.

It's because it's an electron app. So in addition to the chat app itself, it also includes a full Chromium runtime. Worse still, the Electron architecture doesn't really lend itself towards reusing electron itself; this means you might have several copies of the same version of electron on your machine for various apps.

People complain about the sizes of things like flatpaks and snaps, but tbh the whole architecture of applications is like this these days. Ironically, flatpaks and snaps could help with this because their formats can work decently with filesystem level deduplication.

House centipede. In fact, I could probably take on two of them!

Not three though.

Don't their current beta drivers support like... 10 year old products?

I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn't really been one of them.
