What do you mean by that?

Which "hobbies" do you think are unnecessary, and how much do you think they cost?

It quite clearly says " our trusted partners". And the intention is they are relevant. You're finding malice where there is none.

Linux is a kernel, not an entire operating system. Lots of companies contribute, it has a foundation, and I'm sorry to break it to you but it even has a code of conduct. What makes you think a web browser is comparatively simple compar

And that's your choice, and you're free to not enable this feature. I trust Mozilla with what I'm searching for more than I trust Google though

Perhaps the blame lies with outlook and confluence then?

gfx.webrender.all no longer has any effect, as webrender is enabled everywhere by default (if supported by your hardware, which it probably is) It would be very helpful if you could capture a performance profile while playing the video, by

Have you tried compact mode? Decreased UI density doesn't just help touchscreens.

So they did exactly what you describe as the "proper solution". > and even then still has more padding than "large" mode in the old UI. This is objectively false. Your hyperbole undermines your argument.

Its losing market share long predates recent UI changes. UI changes are completely and utterly irrelevant to that. I was just pointing out that the grandparent was conflating their opinion being ignored with all users' opinions bei

Equally a lot of users are happy with it. Should those users have been disregarded instead?

I would say it likely is your, and their, setups. But not idiocy. The way Emacs configuration works makes it very easy to break (but also very powerful)

Yes the premiership doesn't share its wealth with the lower leagues, there's already a huge element of segregation and exclusivity there. But it's still a huge difference that promotion is possible. Smaller clubs can work the

All of them, for the English clubs at least. Would assume it's similar for the other countries too

by jamienicol 5y ago
Yeah I got that. But I don't think that was a driver for these clubs wanting to form the super league, as they wouldn't be worried about relegation (and its financial implications) in their domestic leagues any way. Compare that w

Fans are opposed because it's the final straw of their clubs being turned in to money making corporations rather than about football. Boris Johnson is opposed because the conservatives gained a lot of northern working class seats in th

Firefox doesn't have a minimise option because it implements its own title bar. You can disable that in firefox prefs. Or the native menu is accessible with win key + (right?) click. I wouldn't know exactly because I've never

There's nothing wrong with XFCE or LXDE, if that's what you like then use them. But I don't understand why such users always feel the need to criticize gnome, not for it's actual issues but because they don't like i

Stallman and the FSF are destroying what they built. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. We forgive those who show remorse and make amends. Not those who continue their bad behaviour.

by jamienicol 6y ago
Agreed. I thank them for their license, but they're largely and increasingly irrelevant nowadays. Which is a shame, under better leadership they could effect more positive change on the world.

So much projection in so few words. I use plenty of GNU software and will continue to do so. I just believe neither he nor the FSF are fit for purpose, and the free software community is better led by others

by jamienicol 6y ago
I can confidently say I've devoted zero resources to punishing Stallman, other than a few comments on this thread. Yet his benefit from the board's forgiveness is quite clearly large. There's a big difference between excludi

by jamienicol 6y ago
What a juvenile argument. I couldn't care less about Stallman, he can express whatever he likes. But the consequences of that are that he and the FSF are now a detriment to the free software movement.
