Well, I installed Litestep as default shell on a 80486 laptop with Windows (I think it was Windows 98 SE, debloated). It replaced explorer.exe and performed better, IIRC I had more RAM free. I gave the machine away eventually, and they prob

There are counter examples, too. The space race first astronaut (cosmonaut) was Yuri Gagarin, and Laika. Stating the space race was lost by Soviet Union is myopic at best. The Soviet Union defaulted due to being unable to compete, the costl

My guess would be: because there is more space in the outer ring than the inner ring.

No, they don't; they let you decide some things which are relevant. People in the know decide defaults. This is how it works everywhere. Else you'd learn to bicycle with your own traffic rules. You'd end under a bus. Addend

macOS has both these features, sort of. Startup chime in SGI machines depended on model. So an Indy had a different one than an Onyx. My first PC (80286) also had iconic sounds when it started up. Never forget. Micro distro, is recovery OS.

Because sane OSes have sane defaults, and this is one of them. Hide information by default, unless called for. Want verbose boot log? Ask for it. Want boot menu? Ask for it. Need Bluetooth enabled at boot? Aak for it. Don't overburden

For a myriad of reasons I'm cutting back on American subscriptions (am European). Kagi has a soft spot near my heart, so it is likely one of those going out last. If sandwiches are $10 for you and not worth much, might I ask you to sup

I'm a paying customer for Kagi, and I like it very much, but I don't use Google because it is part of FAMAG. As European, having a functioning European index is worth a lot more than Kagi. Though Kagi themselves also are building

A paid version needs to offer something on top of it, which is usually in one way or another proprietary (such as a proprietary service). Something like this is regarded as the enshitification process, so what typically happens is they (e.g

They tried that with Mozilla VPN. It used Mullvad under the hood (a very good Swedish VPN provider), was tailored towards USA, and I could not use a config manually. Which meant I paid a year for nothing. Not the same as donation, but still

Back then, when SGI quit the graphics business and went to supercomputers only (having NUMA as IP, and going with Linux) the GPU devs each ended up at Nvidia. Apple had to pick Be, Inc. or NeXT (who had Jobs). They went with the latter. Be,

Hugging Face is an American start-up, by French people. It resides in Brooklyn, New York. Saying they sit right in Europe is dishonest. Although, as a Dutch person, I'd like to point out Brooklyn technically is Dutch. ;)
