How many "this should be illegal"s are we going to see on this website before people realize that powerful platforms have the money, power, and politics to lobby their way out of everything? A huge chunk of this was made illegal

The title policy is fine, but I find it really weird that it's defended as "not editorializing" -- by your own admission, you edit titles to put your own spin on the article's contents, and focus on something different t

The usual memory usage I was seeing was in the 200M-300M range -- this was on mutter/gnome-shell. As others mentioned, they can't reproduce the 1GB figure. But there was still a lot of noise about that, so I figured I'd expla

My attempt: You can't express 1/3, 1/6, 1/7, or 1/9 in decimal without infinitely repeating digits; you can only express 1/2 and 1/5, and 2*5=10. In binary systems, you can only represent multiples of 1&#x
