   I visited Hong Kong in January 2020 for the second time, having become mesmerized with the development, skyline and freedom during my first visit in 2018. It was a truly sad sight to see, people afraid to speak, red banners everywhere, lots

   I do not understand why you were greyed out because you make a real point. I have decided to forego AstraZeneca myself due to the reports of deaths, I will wait until my country makes Pfizer or others available (I am not anti-vax by any mea

   This would be bad on a business standpoint because SiFive has the capacity to go way beyond $2B, with states scrambling for chip sovereignity.

   Why are Linux Mint people not doing this? They maintain LMDE too.

   GNOME people are lost in politics and constant power struggles, along with the hostility and snark that @broknbottle mentioned, making the project very unapproachable to new contributors and the curious.

   Doesn't seem very smart especially with the threat of China's security attacks around the corner, with the emerge of AI and IoT we need security more than ever.

   Just buy the 16GB one like I did, my SSD usage is roughly 50GB a day.

   Not very smart to do this while they don't have much adoption.

    I find it funny that people are OK with fractional reserve banking but find Tether not having 100% of their supply proven.

    Thanks for the response, it's great to have developers respond to the community. I have made another attempt today using 5.5-wip and experimental hardware support enabled through loader.conf, to no avail. I think I will wait some time

    As funny as this is, it makes me think about the viability of OpenBSD on smart home appliances. Those get hacked a lot and makes me wonder if OpenBSD can make them more secure.

    I am baffled by the immaturity and carelessness of experimenting on a kernel that millions of critical machines use, and I applaud the maintainers for dealing swiftly with this.

    My Thinkpad E15 Gen 2 with AMD Ryzen 4500U (Radeon Renoir Graphics) hangs on boot when I enable the amdgpu driver and disable syscon (framebuffer). Hardware support is one of the big things that holds FreeBSD back.

    Most people dismiss me when I say that people in general hate freedom. Freedom means that your opposition can say things you don't like and also it means you have more responsibility.

    I am someone who has recently transitioned from Mac to Linux. Here were my grievances with Mac: - Lack of absolute control over the system: In linux I can increase inotify watchers, use a local version of whatever CLI I am working with i.e

    I'm curious now, what benefits do Azure users see over AWS or any other provider?

    I take the collective stance on this, if such experiments lead to big benefits (i.e: treatment for cancer), I would be OK with lab babies.

    Culture brush-ups are really interesting. When I went to Hong Kong in January 2020, I was surprised to find out that they were making "Mexican Custard Buns", apparently migrants from Mexico left a legacy of making buns filled with

    This gives me the impression that command line configuration interface for MacOS is really good, at least compared to FreeBSD, Windows or Linux.

    Not going to lie, I would not even reply to such an e-mail. The person seems like a psycho and it is not a good idea to provoke them.

    This was one of the things that made me switch over to Debian. Back then I could download a 50MB mini.iso, then get on my installation. Now I have to download some huge file and use an installer that does not give me much control, also has

    Sorry for offering to suggest a Romanian translation, and then disappearing on you, I was 16 at that time. Your book was what got me deeper into programming and networks in general back then, I have a full time job around this now. Thank yo
