From what I've read the coil whine issue is still there, and it's still a hit or miss thing. Some of them suffer from very audible coil whine, some have none at all. It's a very unfortunate quality issue that will prevent a l

Why does a touch typist suddenly look at the keyboard when he's standing up? Or are the people standing the same that don't know how to properly use a keyboard?

Does the word sarcasm mean anything to you? If Firefox had a 90% market share, we wouldn't have this discussion about how we should use Firefox instead of Chrome. But the fact of the matter is that the majority of users doesn't ca

There is an addon that does just that[0]. That being said, it unfortunately breaks from time to time, and it's not e10 compatible. [0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fxchrome/

I'm perfectly aware that they didn't want to. But if Mozilla can be bullied into implementing it anyway, then how does using Firefox stop Google from doing whatever they want?

It's unfortunate that there is no Yubikey nano for USB-C yet. I really like the nano form factor, especially because I can't accidentally break a USB port like I could with the normal sized one. I guess it's really hard to fi

I thank you for your explanation, but I still don't get it. How was I forcing an argument in any shape or form? I merely asked for clarification on a _very_ extreme claim, which I got shortly afterwards, in the form that the claim was

I have no idea what you're trying to point out (or what that comic is about).

That's a significantly weaker claim then. Depending on how many women are needed for a 'significant number' I might even agree with it.

I didn't claim it's 'normal' nor did I claim that everyone on the internet gets death threats. But if you have an online presence with an audience of tens of thousands you will get them. So pointing to popular female you

It's not quite like that. Though blaming algorithms for being "biased" is rather strange as well. It seems to me the algorithms do exactly what you'd expect them to: have predictive capabilities about reality. Of course,

No matter how heartwarmingly good this appears, it's terribly misguided. This approach does not scale. You simply cannot provide hundreds of thousands of refugees with food, shelter and education in a 1st world country. We have all see

by Tharre 10y ago
The headline misrepresents the article completely. Eating healthy food _is_ costlier than not caring about what you eat. However, that does not mean that expensive equals healthy. It's basically the same old "everything that'

Debian sure has, but I wasn't talking about Debian. Fedora on the other hand just doesn't, or at least not in my typical usage. Maybe third party package managers would help in that regard, but if I'm going to babysit my dist

Honestly? It's just easier 99% of the time. And I don't mean easier in the sense that you could give Arch to a linux newbie and expect it to work. But if something breaks in Arch, I can almost certainly just open up the wiki page

Add libinput to that list, that currently makes it impossible for me to switch. I just can't reproduce the behavior of synaptics with the options libinput currently offers, and without them my mouse drives me crazy.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately this is most likely due to software patents. Bummer. Thanks though.

You misunderstood me. I don't argue that there is a binary choice, nor do I argue that unregulated capitalism is what we need. I'm merely arguing that corruption isn't inherently tied to capitalism or any other economic syste

by Tharre 10y ago
What is the opposite then? You can imagine a lot, but I don't see how telling the very same people that were supposedly corrupted by capitalism to regulate it would change anything.

Are you suggesting that communism is somehow less corrupt? If so, I encourage you to read about how communism was practiced in the real world, and the meaning of the phrase "All people are equal, but some are more equal than others&quo

You should actually read the wikipedia article. The 269 birds / TWh number stems from the lower estimation that between 20,000 and 573,000 birds per year are killed from wind turbines in the US.
