I wonder if the scale of cheating in games like CoD Warzone tends to be inflated due to skill-based match-making which would tend to put cheaters (with high kill/death ratios) with content creators (who tend to be good), who go on to c

I've used Addressbase a LOT before and they're separating out the core[0] of it to give it a more permissive license[1]. It has the Classification Code attribute which has an identifier for the kind of property you're looking

Surely there's another (partial) solution - reduce your own demand for fuel. Cars are generally overused in western countries which I think is one factor in the obesity pandemic.

This is great but I feel like it's more important to educate people not to panic-buy fuel since that's adding a significant strain to the problem (thanks to the media). If people filled up when they normally would have the problem

One of my favourite memes of all time, so it's sad for the original video to be removed from Youtube, however, I am confident it'll still be available elsewhere, and, of course, as part of thousands of existing meme compilation vi

To your second point, what does Chrome's browser sync do that Firefox Sync doesn't?

Really agree with this. If you have time I'd appreciate to hear some of your favourite high-value concise non-fiction books of any discipline...?

I just got one, but I'm still using my old SteelSeries Apex M500 for work though because I'm just too slow to do my job effectively using it still. The learning curve is higher than I thought, even after remapping most of the keys

Raspberry Pis have been around since 2012. Sure they're not really portable but they do have an "ARM-based SoC".

Somewhat related and relevant is Artsy's Genome Project[0] which is basically a classification system of (all?) artworks on the Artsy platform which I think includes those not for sale. They publish the full list of "genes" o

I'm interested to know about your per display xsettings requirements. One of my key WM requirements is multi-monitor support, and i3 with i3status-rs works perfectly for me. Took a little bit of reading up and config though. I did expe

When starting out with Arch Linux 5 years ago, choosing a desktop environment and/or window manager was one of the key decisions. i3's excellent documentation and principles[0] really sold it for me. The base config is full of sen

three potential reasons: the latter has a much steeper learning curve, is much less portable, and can involve significant configuration to achieve similar effect.

Do you need a DE? Linux is my daily driver for work and home. I've tried DEs and found them bloated and slow. I have been using i3-wm for years and loving it. You can always use picom compositor on top to mitigate visual glitches.

Thanks for your considered reply. I agree that it's easy and relatively common to denigrate/underestimate/misunderstand users in other 'categories' to oneself. This is exactly why it's important to design for t

I've gone the other direction. Firefox was my main browser 13 years ago. I switched out of curiosity to Opera which was fun for a while. Around 2011, I jumped on the Chrome bandwagon, which switched to Chromium as Linux became my daily

Not to alarm you, but I'm pretty sure that satellites can see you and your kids in your back yard - and they're taking pictures.
