I also started my Linux journey with a turn of the century Slackware install. Linux has come a long, long way since then, but I learned a lot back then. Distros like Bazzite are practically "turn-key" now. In any case, I would rat

> I want Proton to be the future as well, but I think it's important not to oversell it as a drop-in replacement either. Proton needs to be understood as a temporary solution to make the back catalogue on Linux comparable to Windows

Presumably this is being marketed indistinguishably from regular ECC RAM? If so, that's terrible news. It was already difficult enough to find ECC RAM for "workstation" class machines (i.e.: High end, non-server CPUs that sup

Except that those two things are fantastic indicators for videos / channels you should be avoiding. Hiding their foolishness and then watching them anyway rewards their behavior.

This is a good reminder of the real financial costs incurred by maintainers of your favorite Emacs packages. Here's a nice repo with details on how to support them! https://github.com/tarsius/elisp-maintainers Als

Start doing non-standard, "warranty voiding" things on Windows and watch how it bites you even faster than you can say "Linux".

I can personally vouch for a great deal of consternation among players of Valve's games at the time of Steam's launch and I have the IRC logs to prove it! I was also personally resistant to the new thing and to this day have &quot

You may not feel like you are completing or have completed a lot, but it is the journey that you are accomplishing. Clearly an incredible amount already! I had a similar story as you from a prior decade of tinkering (initially MSDOS/Wi

This is an excellent interpretation but I would put forth that it is also possible that these people simply want to use "cool names" and get on with their business without any kind of deep understanding of the literature.

The conventional wisdom is that you need to buy several military vehicles in order to get and keep one up and running. Some things are going to come broken, some things will inevitably break, and the replacement parts aren't exactly

Obviously the majority of the population needs to elect better leaders, or failing that, be out in the streets over this. But they aren't. They don't care and there lies the real problem.

Yes. US residents' ability to obtain credit (cards, cars, houses) is based on three shadowy for-profit organizations who each keep a secret score on each resident. One's employment history is not a factor in the score at all (cont
