That is the Arch way, Arch is not built for convenience but for customizability. If you want a graphical installer, you can install it yourself ;). Also there are several Arch-based distributions that include (opinionated) graphical install

Yeah but come on, the metric system is obviously superior to the imperial.

Children can still enjoy doing stuff without it having to be useful for anything specific. Simple life, not too much worries. But yeah gaming can also be a way of procastenating or even become an addiction. Then it's used as short-term

But then the game still keeps going right? You just go to level 0, then 1, 2 etc again. So you can keep on going, and you can still go game over. So then you still lose, not beating the game. But if you manage to progress the game so far th

You can just disable Pocket. I've never used it, and never had an issue with it. My Firefox experience is great.

I didn't follow this PWA stuff very closely, but from what I understand, Mozilla didn't want to implement the PWA protocol proposed by Google because it contained things that weren't compatible with the open web view focused

Yeah, and apparently Google deliberately makes their sites work worse in Firefox. So for Firefox to by default spoof their user agent to be Chrome for those sites would be great. I actually installed a user agent spoofer plugin for this, Us

The developer tools are pretty similar in my experience. I think it's maybe just that you're not used to it. And did you know that developer tools like this actually started in Firefox with the Firebug plugin? Firefox is not slowe

That is true, but the Chrome/Chromium ecosystem is largely driven by Google. And Google makes use of this power position to push through web standards that benefit them, but not the users. Therefore I choose to use Firefox, to support

did you check if you have any funky plugins enabled?

Thanks. This discussion also triggered me to research some more about this subject. This video also gives a good insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBU9Luc4NuM

But isn't that why we have config files that you can easily copy to a new system? But I guess you have to look at how much time you'll gain from your copying your personal config, vs the overhead of copying your personal config it

Yes, stars move through the arms, and circle around the center of the galaxy. The arms actually also "move", but not in the way you would maybe expect. They are actually density waves - areas of greater density of gas & dust,

Btw, the big bang theory is not something personal from Sean Carroll. He might talk about it (a lot), but a lot of scientists talk about it, and it's a theory that has evolved over the last 100 years by thousands of scientists around t

You might want to be careful with accepting alternative theories. They can sound very convincing when you don't understand the subject very well. Often people make illogical connections that sound nice but are either in conflict with o

Are you looking at pictures, or actually in the sky with naked eyes?

I think your story is about the spiral structure of the milky way, whereas the parent is about the amount of revolutions of our solar system around the milky way. So 2 different things I think. That might be the confusion here. Regarding th

I think you need exceptionally good eye sight to distinguish more than 6 stars. And it's not surprising that folklore stories originate around what most people's experiences are.
830.
by gitaarik 3y ago
But the stories are about either 6 or 7 stars, or 7 where and then 1 star disappeared after some time. So it's not only the number 7. And the legends are about the Pleiades specifically. So I see more correlation than coincidence.

I just read the wiki article about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_link_(human_evolutio... So it seems that the name "missing link" has gone out of favor because it implies a linear evolution inst

by gitaarik 3y ago
What do you mean that it's a branch instead of a straight line? Then there should still be intermediate species, and the species should not suddenly make an evolutionary jump. And what missing link evidence has been made up? Never hear

Why would you get frustrated with that? It's not a bug, it's a feature. If we are only allowed to study the visible light spectrum, we would be missing out on a lot of valuable information. Edit: and what is misleading about it? Y

What? The missing link in human evolution, the link between primate and homo sapien, has been found? Not as far as I understand.

Nvidia is indeed not well supported, on which Nvidia is mostly to blame (also see Linus Torvalds finger to Nvidia). That is too bad because the community can't do much about it. Multi monitor support should generally be fine in most de

Maybe because it's the biggest advertisement company that continually hits the news regarding privacy issues, market position misuse, deceptive marketing, legal issues, etc?

That's the whole reason why they call it like that, because they don't understand it and it seems like something magical. And it will always be like that in the current materialistic paradigm. Why would dead unconscious matter sud

It's common practice these days in Android apps to request the user to turn allow the app to run on the background, opening the necessary Android settings page if you want to grant the app access to this. If an addon needs that feature
