   I replaced Windows with Fedora (KDE) on my moms computer, and she's never even commented on it. The browser icon looks the same, and it's in roughly the same place.

   It's been a while since I used Windows regularly or seriously, but I remember start menu search actually being good - maybe around Win7 days? You would just press <Win>, type a few letters of the software you wanted and hit enter

   This newsletter pest is puzzling me. Why would I want more crap in my email? If I'm on your website, why not just put the content there, instead of sending it out-of-band via email? Maybe it's some fingerprinting/tracking non

   One aspect of popups that survived, was the ability of a website to spawn a new tab on click. I DETEST this behaviour. Not only because it breaks the back button, but tabs/windows are something I control, not you. I will decide when

    My sisters iPad just bricked itself during an update, and nothing I've tried has been able to revive it. And it's an unrepairable disposable piece of tech, so it's going into a landfill. https://www.apple.com/

    Yea, the danish layout is objectively terrible[1], but I have many decades of muscle memory with it now... [1] Shift+7 == /, AltGr+¨ == ~. These two in particular are tedious as a Linux user.

    This curse extends to mechanical keyboards as well. There exists all sorts of fancy, beautiful and odd keycap sets... for Americans. Some times for German and French. If I get really lucky, I'll find some with a "Nordic" layo

    I quite like Gentoo's rsync based package manager. I believe they've used that since the beginning. It works well.

    Baseless fear mongering. I've had webservers raw-dogging the Internet for about 25 years. Nothing of any consequence has happened. Hasn't happened to anyone I know, either. Anecdata yes, but people are making it sound like running
