Hold up. I don't have stats but I'm incredibly confident that almost no users want hardware switches. Does your mum want a hardware switch? Does the guy working at Starbucks? I think it might be the techheads who think that instal

Which laptop do you have? I didn't get a ThinkPad because the specs weren't there.

My Android TV has more features, like the feature where I have to wait a full second for it to respond to pushing the volume up button. (or, there's benefits to having a non-"smart" tv)

I believe they were fairly light handed in that regard, and respected the cultural independence of their people. Grain of salt though, vague memory.

You would just learn Egyptian or Lebanese arabic, everyone would understand you. Written (formal) arabic is a different story though, I think that's what's commonly taught for non arabic people

This has been my experience exactly. It's a little shocking how common the groupthink was, and no one dared speak against it, so it's nice to see people speaking freely here. Agile makes me want to leave software entirely.

The people you describe are a ridiculously tiny minority.. It hardly reflects on their society as a whole. What you bring up, I think, is just a common trope about Japan. People have misleading ideas like this about countries they haven&#x

Interesting take. I agree about consistency and intuitiveness.

> The play store may not actually be self-sustaining in terms of revenue Really? 30% of every sale and in-app purchase in the entire android ecosystem of billions of users? I think it's probably profitable. Just a bit.

I think I get what you're saying. Wouldn't a computer enthusiast be happy and comfortable with desktop Linux though? It's still hackable as you like and you can install a more.... I mean a less simplified desktop environment.

That said, there's the legitimately terrifying oppression of the Uyghurs, and the filtering of any information the government doesn't find supportive enough of their regime

I don't think it's a zero sum game. Just because country A becomes more powerful doesn't mean country B must be less powerful. Countries rise in power together all the time. Look at Asia and Europe in the last couple decades.

Even if superpower status was dropped in the US' lap post-ww2, I think it's hard to argue they've worked extremely hard to maintain sole superpower status from the cold war onwards. All the assets you say China is planning to

Fair point. I think the market doesn't have room for another desktop OS beyond niche uses. As in, why would a mainstream user go with Linux over MacOS or Windows? Same deal with Android and iOS. Insufficient room or need for #3. Also,

Totally agree. When I'm having a tough time over something non-trivial, and someone looks pained and says something like "that must be hard for you" I'm just thinking that's nice but are we friends or are you my psy

One of the points of the article is that Scots is definitely not a dialect, and is definitely a separate language, to the point that the author stopped answering the question of which it is because it was so common a misconception.

Wasn't Mark Shuttleworth fulfilling this role for Ubuntu as the Benevolent Dictator For Life? Ubuntu made great strides towards mainstream usability on the Linux desktop. I think the GNOME project has a strong focus on design, with its

That's ridiculous. You can't make baseless claims then call it abuse if someone asks for evidence. My evidence, if you like, are all the people using live Bitcoins on LN right now, and the dozens of exceptionally bright people wor

It is a big deal, for experience, and you're right about it being the kind of thing certain engineers don't see as a big deal. But- I'd rather they fix a bunch of other things first. I'd put "things that don't

I'm not going to pretend to understand the validity of your claims frankly because I don't. I've seen some discussion of supposed possible race conditions on LN, apparently the gossip protocol is temporarily being used for ro

You can blame the Murdoch press (and others) in the UK for constantly pushing the narrative that the EU is a corrupt bureaucracy making absurd laws and stealing your rights and money. I mean, can you believe this? https://cdn-ima

You've made this race condition claim multiple times in this thread, and haven't backed it up with any detail whatsoever and no evidence. Could you back it up? You've literally only linked the race condition article and not p
