Perhaps, but at what cost? In Australia we got small hive beetle about fifteen years ago, and if we didn't have feral colonies these things would be much easier to manage. As it stands, feral colonies are breeding grounds for these an

Yes, but again, the number of people collaborating on Linux kernel development is truly tiny. I think perhaps you're over-estimating the network effect for VCS's -- having multiple version control binaries on your machine is low c

I thought that Varroa destructor (a mite that attacks bees) had been determined to be a big causal factor? Improving tools for beekeepers, mostly chemical treatments, have ameliorated the situation. Here in Australia we're V. destruc

Yeah, I get that distinction, and the vagueness of the phrase 'open source' doesn't help with this kind of definition. If IBM put US$1B into 'Linux' 22 years ago - but this was a small part of their operating budget

With google you can search with type:pdf so that you filter in scientific papers. I'd also suggest that the phrase 'correct information' does suggest you already know what you believe you're looking for (otherwise how wo

To be fair, that first statement conflates Samsung and Android, so the second half of your first line should be that Samsung tablets are not in the same class. Samsung's take on Android is, in my experience, dreadful.

Android's had multi-user capabilities since v4.2 (2013-07). This doesn't mean that a 1:1 relationship between a person and their phone / tablet isn't the common configuration - I'm sure it is - but it's fair to

I am slowly coming to terms with Dolphin, some decades on -- took me a long time to move past Konqueror (also not very intuitive in terms of name->functionality I guess). I'd suggest that the disconnect between name and function mig

I like it, especially when it's incorporated rather than just prefixed (eg. ark, kalzium, kamera, konsole, yakuake) for a couple of reasons. First it gives a unique name that you can search the web for. Looking for a solution involvin

Precisely. My trust in a non-ECC machine is much lower. I've had slow on-disk data corruption that I've tracked down to failing memory in retail-grade hardware, and it's been in a collection of large media files being sync&

I'll strongly second this. Consul + Nomad makes for an excellent home lab setup, using docker, podman, raw binaries, etc, as you observe. It strongly recommends 3-node cluster, but works fine on a single host if you don't need th

I don't think anyone's asserting everything is fine. To me it read that TFA is saying the rise is numbers is a consequence of changes in diagnostics. You asserted criminality originally because numbers are rising (not in contenti

Criminal is a strong and unwarranted claim. TFA posits the 'the numbers keep rising' - that's not in contention so you can't use it as a counterpoint - though the idea that it's attributable to diagnostic changes is
