Any technological question has a car analogy, in this case a PS5 is kind of like a mid range sports car while a PC is… well, a custom car, so pretty much anything. So why buy a mid range sports car if you can buy an SUV for the same price t

If anything, these types of projects should come as some sort of external wrapper to help you compile or configure the software to give you the wanted behavior. I don’t know a lot about how Arch’s AUR works but this seems like something tha

I don’t mean to sound cynical, but it’s possible that these students simply got away with this strategy for their entire academic “career” up to that point. I.e. complain about the difficulty of the task, throw your hands up, ask for “help”

How is it an “unfair” advantage? It’s just an advantage. It’s not like getting a good nights sleep is something that requires an exorbitant amount of money.

I was pretty surprised that Iosevka wasn't in the running, I was under the impression it was pretty popular, but maybe not. I also recognize the fact that there's about a billion fonts out there, so obviously you can't includ

Why do you need to “check them” in the first place though? And yes, I can understand that for some people the inability to easily transfer and collect those conversations is a problem, but for many people (imo probably more people) the ephe

I just have a really hard time understanding who this is targeting. If you're on average more willing to sacrifice privacy over ease of use, you're very likely not using Signal or Matrix anyway. So if you're not, but you&#x27

If you want a new kernel that is "not a toy project" then pay someone to write it.

That's beside the point. Arch Linux makes no effort to appear more reliable than new macOS releases, and there's no reasonable expectation that it should be, even if it is.

While the statement "more coups have happened in 2021 than in the previous five years combined" is technically true, I think the "coups are making a comeback" statement is pretty dubious just by looking at the graph at t

The article you are linking does not at all describe what your headline is stating, so I think an elaboration would be suitable.

This isn't Arch Linux we're talking about, it's the presumably tested and released operating system for the most premium personal computing hardware in the world. I'm not saying you shouldn't back up your stuff but

Seven years can be an eternity in tech, but is it an eternity counting from 2021? I mean, AWS launched in 2006, Netflix expanded to Europe in 2012, Docker had their initial release in 2013 and so on, so none of these major events are that

Fine, but this does nothing to address the value of zsh which is what I was asking about.

I'm the first to admit that I'm ignorant of the facts here, but seeing that a systemd fork ran on OpenBSD for the first time two months ago does not give me confidence that it's "an option" in the sense that you can

I have to wonder: if, as a user, one of your primary concerns is the WSL performance on Windows, what’s stopping you from just running Linux? Or at the very least simply dual boot for the cases where you truly do need something Windows exc
