   I ran it under strace and after that it was never allowed to run again. I don't know exactly what it's doing, but it's nothing I want it to be doing. If you get an AMD GPU then the web experience is a bit more performant, the

   I don't permit Zoom to run on my Linux desktop, too sketchy. Instead I use their web ui, which runs in the relative safety of my firefox container.

   Try Stellaris. The Linux port works incredibly well, in fact it seems to work better than the Windows port. It also will run on even low spec hardware and iGPUs.

   Whataboutism. Canada has little to fear from US hegemony and a lot to fear from Chinese hegemony, it's as simple as that.

   I've been using vim for 10 years now. I learned it by working with other vim users 1:1, and harassing them to teach me things. It worked pretty well. Eventually I cribbed their dotfiles and started maintaining my own.

    What an asinine question. Shame on you. Here's a list of 14 horrible diseases that you won't get, because of vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/forgot-14-dise... It's not u

    Terrible news to get now, at what I would reckon is the peak of the anti-vax movement so far. Today a huge crowd of people blocked ambulances that were arriving at the hospital in my city, protesting vaccines. I have rarely witnessed such i

    Vancouver BC hit over 42C this year, and hundreds of people died because the region is not prepared for heat. Victoria, which is facing directly out to the ocean, hit 39C. Houses and apartments don't have A/C, and businesses'

    I attended a webex earlier this year and I found the experience was far better than Zoom. The audio and video quality was better, and also the presentation controls were much more sophisticated.

    That's definitely a problem, but it's not the only problem. Medications often have side effects, and sometimes for some people they are worse than the symptoms they are supposed to manage.

    I live in Vancouver, and houses here cost $2 million if you want something approaching decent. The median income here is under $100k. Are you going to tell me this is fine?
