No, I don't thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they'd have to be started again.

Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don't know it.

A TV is a device that shows you what you want. This is no TV.

Homoglyphs? Invisible text? Bidirectional text? Just highlight every line that goes beyond ASCII with yellow warning colors and require to vet it. Maybe make localization data an exception.

Linux community is so inherently meritocratic that one can't meaninfully force anything upon any large group of them.

Thore particular two creations of Lennart took the world by storm precisely because they were so absurdly good that working on other stuff was a dead-end, obvious for all but such tiny fraction of people that even forming vacuous hate bubbles haven't rallied enough effort to foster and maintain alternatives.

It became trendy to hate Pulseaudio and call it bloat years after Nokia shipped a rather anemic phone where it already worked flawlessly. I need no further proof that there's no technical basis beneath the hate.

5 minutes of fame when Debian said "if you want other init systems, maintain them", soon-to-be-Devan folks slammed the door and effectively ruined the chance of multi-init debian by fracturing efforts into their fork instead. But hey, all the news were abuzz about them.

To put things into perspective, that's ~4 months of median salary, or ~8 months of minimum wage.

Why stream music when SD cards are approaching TB?

Double-checked, and you're right.

Of course. There's just one pitfall: there's no turning back, once you grasp it, the inferior ways of the past become unbearable.

Wait, your retirement age is less than the average lifespan?

Putin is the most antiwest Russian politician. And the least antiwest Russian politician. Also the tallest one, as well as the shortest.

I admire their uncompromising stance on feature creep and polish of the core functionality.

I'm a simple man, all I need 95% of the time is keyboard shortcuts to switch between maximized browser and a maximized terminal emulator.

Compare and contrast KDE, where you have three infinitely configurable screen zoom plugins, and I've never seen 3/3 working.

Ignore it.

Opened OsmAnd installed from F-Droid, enabled "hiking routes", checked one I've completed yesterday. It shows: name, operator, trail on the map, length, altitude over distance (graph), average altitude, total uphill climb, total downhill. Pictures might be available as a plugin, not sure; no season info or dangers info in sight. Hope that helps.

I'd like to see your calculations.

There's no place like localhost.

We don't even have NGI.

Resistive ones worked better with nails than wothout them.

I'm on my third and fourth pair over what, 7.o years? Doesn't work for music I don't know the bass lines for. Absolutely brilliant for podcasts. And don't cheap out, buy the top of the line ones.

The current platform does enough to address bias and neutrality. If you are doing so bad you want a lopsided view of what you did, you're supposed to fork it and let it die like other free speech oppressors do, not compile PDF with stupid suggestions to mainline.

persist in the doomed world you have created

What do you think he's doing for the last 1.5 years?

Native Tab Grouping

I'm old enough to remember previous native tab grouping.

If it distributes Linux, it's a distro. Thus ChromeOS, Android, Windows are all Linux distros.

If you have a different definition, best you can do with it is go brighten up some lawyer's day, I guess.

My code is compiling.

I'd cap every civil servant income to 5 median salaries. If that's too not enough, run your country better.

There are two browsers with sync, and one of them syncs with Google.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Disk sometimes being too slow to appear? Try rootwait/rootdelay kernel cmdline options.

There's a voting system. That should give you an idea of whether they're considered good or bad and of their visibility in general.

Sounds like 1FA with extra steps.

As a Red Hat employee who had his all-around sensible Fedora Change to prevent it from falling too far behind RHEL (!) rejected, I think I can confidently claim that your statements smell of conspiracy theories.

Do Linux-involved companies have resources to develop the projects they like the most? Yes. Do companies dominate userspace development? I don't think so, in fact, they're all seem quite focused in their interests, and their involvement with a median package on your community distro desktop system isn't even minimal, it's none. Do the se companies at least all push for a united agenda? Absolutely not. Can they force a single random community distro like Debian to pick something over something else? No. 99% of the distros? Goes without saying.

How are we supposed to answer that without the details on why do you think age won't cut it?

Now I want a TV show where they actually summon a dozen people from remote villages of sane countries who actually have zero idea who Trump is and retell them all he did with a straight face.

... they'd know what exact nasty deeds they're being paid for? How does that help you?

First of all, you need accountable politicians that serve their nation. Age, while it's important, is not of prime importance.

They're picking between pretense of legitimacy and no pretense of legitimacy, and they can afford it. It also delivers just the right amount of soul-crushing with virtually no risk of protest.

Same. I'll never believe in GP AI until I see a proof that a matching GP NI exists.

Extralegal ways of moving money are immensely useful to non-billionaires as well.

NixOS is uncomparable.

Yeah, just don't. Allowing to code in anything other than English is a disservice, plain and simple.

Inb4, I'm not being US-centric, Latin ain't even my native alphabet.
