That’s an application, not a DE, problem. There is no reason to use the defaults if you have particular needs, or spend much time in some environment. People don’t make much art in MS Paint, or code in Notepad, despite those being the defau

The things that this post describes are the easy parts (except pull). Then you come at it with your new understanding of an immutable commit DAG, and run into things that shouldn’t be there at all, yet everybody uses — rebase, cherry-pick,

Why not ask them for the war chest money, and decide on your renewables allocation yourself? This whole “we're green now” approach is a very transparent plan of the management to remain in control of the “war chest”.

Also, oil/energy companies provide the foundation of modern technological civilization. We now see some downsides to that particular method, but “murder” is a jump of Olympic proportions.

There are hundreds of such companies, and some are quite hot. Your point?

As an investor, I would very much prefer them to focus on what's profitable. I can invest my dividends/buyback cash into long-term successful renewable energy businesses, if that's what I want to be in. There's no need t

If you want to provide “features” commercially, it’s much easier to just use Chrome’s engine. The point of Firefox, at this time, is that we have at least one alternative implementation. MailMate is closed source donationware with a bus fac

The reason that doesn’t happen is that that business model is not viable in the presence of alternatives. The “quite interesting result” would be that there wouldn’t be a Firefox anymore. Selling software is not a novel idea.

Yeah, that’s way too long. My laptop (intel gen11) spends ~7s on firmware, a while in kernel (can’t tell how much of that is me typing my excessively long LUKS passphrase; last boot was 11s, of which waiting for me to type was probably at l

Absolutely. Grandparent comment was about running a server at home. (Among other capabilities, a VPS is capable of being read by your hosting provider or whoever can get them to give access)

Only if you spam. That's why they're called "spam blacklists". You can spam inadvertently, of course, e. g. if you (or someone else you gave an email on your domain) get pwned. That's problematic. The issue is still

To me, the issue is not data collection, but quality of ad-driven services. To be able to show ads, they make rhe product worse: ads in youtube are known to make videos longer, so the authors get a mid-video ad; search is mostly dead, becau

That's not a screwup, that's the point of fish. You can't make a sane shell scripting language without dropping POSIX compatibility.

It isn't spam though (being a part of a real commercial relationship, and having a working unsubscribe link), and marking it as such poisons your spam filter.
