Stallman gets a lot of hate, but time keeps vindicating him. As software gets used more and more in all kind of devices, the FSF freedoms are becoming the modern consumer rights. Without having the source code of your tractor's firmwar

What you want is the bury option, that one will no longer show the card in reviews (but it won't delete it)

Unbranded stable (and beta) builds also allows disabling the signature check. There are plenty of options, just not in the official stable builds.

It seems that what he misses most is socialisation. This seems to me the root of the great divide in these discussions, some people love socialising, others not so much. I have read anti-office posts claiming the opposite of what he says: t

This is a teardown. The page includes lots of big, high resolution photos. Too much traffic per client.

Seccomp does that. No need for a visualisation layer.

Does someone know how other vendors behave? I have heard good things about Brother printers lately, but I'm not sure if this tactic is also used by them and others

Don't they have exactly that already for telemetry? You can go to the preferences and turn it off instead of using about:config

I recommend the book "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. It makes a very compelling case about why the ability to concentrate during long periods of time is critical to create meaningful work, and it gives more detailed (and better) advic

HP laser printers are good, their expensive stuff is good. It seems that most people buy the cheap ink ones, that's where most problems seem to come from (mine is certainly frustrating at times) But one should also notice that HP seems

So the "secret" is to take diet seriously? Not to dismiss his great achievements, but when I did read that he had tried every diet under the sun, I would have expected that calorie counting would have been part of it.

Wayland is not corporate policy. It was developed as a side project by some guy from Red Hat, people liked it. Corporations would have likely pressured to keep using X11 to avoid breaking compatibility with applications.

There is no reason why window managers can't share functionality via libraries. In fact, some do (wlroots). X11 and its separation of graphic server and window manager encouraged code reuse by placing it in the server, but with Wayland

The worst potential consequence of laying down is that your back muscles would become weaker. This is one of the reasons why sitting harms your back, and with laying down it would be even worse. Unless it's combined with some exercise

Btrfs actually reserves some space so that these operations always succeed. There has been bugs but that's the intention.

Usage of C in new projects has fallen dramatically in the latest decades. It used to be the case that C was considered a general purpose programming language and applications such as Evolution were written in it. Today big applications in C

Young programmers seem to prefer learning Rust than C. Generational replacement will take care of making Rust prevalent, no matter what existing programmers think.

Original Unix didn't support dynamic linking (despite having already been invented), and for some purists it was a mistake to add support for it. Plan 9 refused to add support for it. Dynamic linking is not some kind of holy principle.

buildroot is used to cross-compile Linux systems. It's a tool. Linux from scratch is a guide that users are supposed to follow to learn more about Linux. It's mostly an educational tool.
