It is good to note though that not all "same laptop but different OS" are actually the same laptop. Be wary and check hardware before buying the windows version to put linux on... it wont always work. (In this case obviously, the

I agree that labor cost is going to go up. And the whole point of this being enforced from the US side through tariffs and import regulations is so that when country A enacts child labor laws, Apple doesn't just move to country B. And

If you have a family of 6 (lets assume 2 parents and 4 kids) all working for 50 cents an hour. Saying "your kids have to go to school and not work" and then paying the adults 3 dollars an hour. The family winds up making more mone

which means if a smartphone records you, you can play the "why was it listening?" card with an echo, you can't claim "why was it listening!?" because you knew it was and that was the reason you bought it. granted, I

I was trying to watch rick and morty on linux the other day. popcorn time was the easiest route to take. I did the free 7 days of hulu. but cancelled immediately because their flash player couldnt make it more than 30 seconds without crashi

Yeah. I'm definitely more loyal to AMD's GPU products than I am their CPU products. I am hoping to get a new zen cpu, but if it flops, I wont hesitate to go intel... I'll definitely avoid nvidia though.

by bisby 10y ago
nvidia raw performance is better, but requires installing a proprietary driver (like you would on windows). amd is a bit lower, but you can use the built in open source driver and get roughly the same performance as the proprietary driver (

To add further to the former category: appropriate friendly ribbing or banter definitely fall under the category of basic human dignity or respect. People cry at weddings. Not because they are sad, but because they are happy (usually). Why

I would argue that if the repeated joke is agreed upon by all involved, it doesn't have to be bullying. Friends have inside jokes that only they enjoy and get repeated constantly. Why can't an inside joke be about someone? I'

Unless you use your email for ONLY signing up for accounts online, the entire purpose of email addresses is for other people to have them.

What is the downside of someone having your email address, especially with no other context. If they have other data on your email address, they don't need your email address to do anything with it. If they don't have other data,

Indeed. Literally all you are providing to the site is an email address. I could check my coworkers' email addresses. They have a list, I'm checking to see if something is on the list. Any site that requires you to provide an emai

Ok then my second point stands. If I bought a new car and you said "Nice wheels" (is this slang still in use?) and I said "What you're referring to as wheels is actually car/wheels", you'd think I was an i

Alpine doesn't use GNU by default. And it would fit into what I call "Linux". The "operating system" is not "technically" "GNU/Linux" - that's just what Richard Stallman wants it to be.

Thats a fair point and I was intending to use a bit of hyperbole, while speculating on what COULD happen.

Good to know! I use nextcloud, but it is performing TERRIBLY on my raspberry pi 3. I need to see about recreating the setup they use on the nextcloud box. Is this better than ttrss? or just different? Worth the hassle of migrating things?

I came here checking to see if this could be a replacement for ttrss... But no. it appears that ttrss wins in the "just give me the rss feeds I want" category for me.
