   I tried the book (not a native English speaker) and couldn't go further than first 2 pages. It's just filled with random words with no explanations (yet?) On the other side of spectrum I remember reading reading Zelazny Chronicles

   For future readers: this is true (drivers/update problems), but easily fixable with for example Timeshift, or snapper (like openSUSE)

   Interesting thesis! Maybe constrained to US though. I really appreciate public transportation in Lyon and Paris, and never felt any need to own a car. You shouldn't generalize your particular experience to "public transportation&

   This is not only Netflix. French media do the same using exactly the same Widevine DRM, which simply doesn't work on Firefox. My sister couldn't watch some replays of her shows on my laptop because she couldn't figure out wh

    Do banking applications work? I mean as in "I buy X online. It requires me to login to my bank application and press 'confirm'. I perform this sequence, and online purchase is completed. "?

    How is shaving 8 decibel from 150 a game changer? It's sure nice, but it's still deafening at 142 I just checked, everything beyond 110dB for 1.5min per day will lead to a permanent hearing loss

    Everything is correct what you said. I am not cricizing CS, despite how my parent comment looks, I am just saying I clearly wasn't the target audience

    Couchsurfing was too intrusive for me when i tried. It required somewhat nice and approchable picture of myself, with some interesting story to put on my profile This was just too much asked. Compare that to "pay N€, you can stay M n

    I know that "violence is never the answer" but it's pretty pretty hard to swallow when corrupted thiefs and murderers have state-guaranteed monopoly of physical violence. I can't accept that, and no one should.

    I don't understand claims "desktop experience is not there yet". What do you even need so specific? Care to explain? I tend to think it's more of people's problem at that point than linux desktop experience problem

    I have been using NextDNS for couple of days, but since I don't have a static IP, it's obviously not so convenient, I have to reset my IP every time it changes But otherwise, absolutely great, awesome statistics about blocked&#x2F

    There is no way you can convince a sane person that launching TENS OF THOUSANDS of satellites every 5 years is somehow more eco friendly than launching 3 (! yeah, three). You are completely out of touch with reality.

    Points one by one: - If you believe sky cluttering isn't a problem, I can't argue against that. I believe it's much bigger problem, than metallic wires across land fields. Just because metal wires are localized, but tens of t
