So they want to sleep at your place but are not comfortable having you around? And if they have back pain they can't sleep on just any mattress either, as it might be the wrong hardness for them. And you might have another friend stayi

Quite the contrary - the edge-cases are not important here. Not because they do not matter, but because trying to address them this way leads to worse results. Instead of having a giant living room with chairs and table space for 30-50 peop

The "GPU-driver" also includes all the the Vulkan and GL runtimes and user-space machinery for shader compilation and what-not. Being on latest and greatest can make a significant difference there that I'd expect gamers to ch

I'm not too surprised about gamers aligning with a somewhat minimal rolling distro that is quick to update packages, especially considering how comparatively slow the other big distros are. Arch is in general a quite popular and quite

While I agree, do note that a significant portion of a kernel is internal logic that can be made much safer.

Whether it is a grid or a selectively placed point cloud was not the point. Either way you end up with a mesh you can use for a relatively simple warp. Granted, using it as input for a model might be more accurate, but also more complex. Th

In Denmark, the only places without triphase power are some very old apartments in inner Copenhagen. To be fair, some of those apartments predate US independence by a hundred years. Those buildings do have triphasic power, but had a silly

While not the norm, 100km each way is not an unusual commute (I did that for years). With winter driving, long days out and long commutes, I suppose you could get to a point where 7kW AC slow-charging does not cut it, and having room for ch

Cable weight corresponds to charging power rating and choice of materials, not plug choice. A combined CCS2 plug is chunkier and might be a bit heavier, but not compared to, say, using a fuel pump.

"Vague insinuations"? There's nothing vague about it. An unmaintained network server is not safe to run, period. That's not a controversial statement, just common sense from observing how fast we go through CVE's.

An unmaintained network service written in an unsafe language is generally speaking unsafe to use, and a great way to get exposed to RCEs. You do you, but running such code is a Very Bad Idea™ and absolutely not okay on a normal desktop ins

Honestly, for these cases focus on JXL. It supports lossless re-packaging of existing JPEG with compression benefits, more or less matches AVIF while having much options for much better compression times. But if JXL isn't an option, de

I think this part of the discussion is just a disagreement as to what constitutes an OS, and whether running a process with a different rootfs entails "running a different OS".

Well, xorg-server is 1 package that doesn't depend on much on its own. What you're describing sounds more like bad client dependencies pulling in chunks of a desktop environment.
