>This idea that's going around that all sources need to be cited is ridiculous. No it isn't. People lie and cheat all the time for all kinds of reasons. If there's no source cited it's effectively an opinion piece. Le

Can you adapt the products to other languages/regions? It could go a long way towards diversifying your sources of income. The sanctions won't last forever anyways, meaning there's a good chance that investment could pay off

It would be better to have server side tools released to host a personal instance of a given game. Too many games become lost forever when the companies stop hosting them. People who get banned could just pay AWS or something to host their

It keeps the code portable and potentially keeps working computers out of a landfill.

This sounds like something someone would say if they had not used Linux since 1998. I personally would not pay for or probably even use software that only "supports" Linux through WINE since it will have all kinds of fit and finis

For me Linux is a no-brainer. It runs almost any open source *nix software and most older Windows binaries with WINE. It's the fastest modern OS that supports my hardware fully, and by fully I mean every driver works OOTB on a newish P

Psychedelics have been extremely beneficial to me but none of my experiences with them have really changed my beliefs about the metaphysical. I am open to the possibility but I'm also not moved by drug-induced hallucinations alone. Tha

Yes, cooking takes a few hours out of my week that I could be using to do something else. But it's absolutely worth it and has saved me a lot of money and helped me lose weight in the past. There is quite literally no free lunch. Fast

There is still an up front cost associated with the creation of software or works that get distributed in a digital format. Even in the best case scenario where the hardware was free, the OS was free, and the software tools were free, the c

This is my thinking as well. Sometimes cooperation makes life easier in the long run than competition. Since I help my coworkers without asking for anything in return they do the same for me when I'm stuck. That way nobody is afraid to

It's a fair question. How does an open high end chip design benefit anyone other than a competing company? How would an end user be able to verify that the chip in their hand is the same as what's in the schematics they get? Would

With great power comes great responsibility. Users who want more powerful tools need to understand that there's a steeper learning curve. Desktop Linux is already fine for a lot of people, even non-technical users. My father doesn&#x27

Hardware vendors have always been like this. They do seemingly unreasonable things then they throw a firmware blob on top to abstract away the ugliness. I don't really understand the rationale behind keeping the boot firmware closed an

I played with Linux (Debian) for RV64 in Qemu and the experience was pretty painless, albeit slow but I think that was more to do with emulation overhead. My personal programs I wrote myself compiled and ran without a single issue. Obviousl

The general purpose computer cores are what interest me the most about the MiSTer project. I'm keeping an eye on the 486 PC and Macintosh Plus cores. Emulators are mostly fine for what I do but I would just love to have dedicated hardw

Consider teaching her how to use computers at a very high level first. How to type, how to use a mouse and keyboard shortcuts properly, how to send an email to grandma and grandpa, how to install and uninstall programs, and so on. Those are

I think you're right. More people should take matters into their own hands by self-hosting and storing their data locally. Decades ago a home server was almost unreachable for a non-technical computer user. These days there are point-a

My opinion is that streaming services are a terrible value and automatic recurring charges from subscriptions are a huge headache to manage. I'm in a sort of financial catch-22 as a young adult, where I can only now afford these frivol

It happens on my iPad with iOS 15 on random UI elements. I notice it more in Safari since the tablet is mostly for news reading and emails. I honestly think the hit box on some stuff is just too small, like the button for creating a new tab

Whenever I see questions regarding virtualization security I sometimes wonder what percentage of malware is VM-aware. It would make sense to leverage software that users have a false sense of security in. That's not to say most virtual

I noticed this too since it disabled my ability middle click scroll and highlight lines while I read. It appears to be a very ham-handed approach to DRM that many websites are using these days. But, putting it into a text browser lets me co
