America lost the Vietnam war. Do you think Vietnam is America's near peer? Also, if you're not sure what they're after: Russia has been systematically driving Ukraine forces out of the Donbas because the Donbas has been shell

They say they want software freedom, but in reality you have to use their software their way or you will suffer. I gave up when even normal settings were hidden and I had to use Gnome Tweak Tool, but when I upgraded, I found all my changes

I can't wait till there are physical books that will let you: 1. Find words almost straight away. 2. Change the font and its size. 3. Change the line spacing. 4. Scroll and use the top of the screen to keep track of where you are so yo

Well, familiarity breeds contempt, so to have exotic things, you need to dance the line between what is plain and what is too strange to make sense of. An algorithm should do that for you. An algorithm with your playlist history along with
