Headline is perfectly fine. The average person is not installing Linux. The average person is not installing LTSC. The average person will, however, continue using 10 beyond its EOL and join a merry band of botnets.

If the issue is occuring even on the main menu and a completely new, bare level, that possibility can be safely eliminated. It's also highly doubtful that someone with a 4090 would have a CPU pitiful enough to excuse 20FPS.

The article mentions these towards the end, it seems the light gun for Sega's Master System did the same.

A lot of these mitigations are joint efforts between the kernel and CPU, and the mitigations kernel parameter isn't a binary on/off, you can configure individual mitigations. It's not a single flag that does signals the micro

That's the point of a dog whistle, to only be heard by some.

Didn't say anything about any laptop. I said Twitter's own files contradict their statements and are dishonest attention-seeking.

It is not known unless you take every attention-seeking word of Musk literally and at face value. As they released the whole mess that was the "Twitter Files" they repeatedly lied by omission and disproved themselves with the frag

The prison experiments are long debunked. It required lying to and manipulating the guards and has never been successfully replicated. They had to be pushed and coerced into evil behavior when they were explicitly being told it was not just

They're not though. Just ledgers have existed forever. So have distributed ones. A P2P ledger is what's new, and it's not being adopted by anyone.

Genuine question, what stops executives from scheduling stock-tanking announcements to align with their stock-selling schedule?

Yes, I was specifically referring to apps that use native code. I wasn't aware though that Google has been interfering with that.

They couldn't without some Rosetta-like layer. It'd lock their phones out of too many apps.

The well was "poisoned" by Avi. He makes similarly unfounded leaps in this instance, as he has in very many instances in the past. There's no foul play here, just the reputation he has earned for himself.

Where does that return come from? It doesn't materialize from thin air. That money was generated by a laborer before it was shuffled to the various shareholders.

There is no such thing as a good billionaire. Skill can only take you so far, and it's not to the billionaire level. This is money, not skill, not grades. The billionaires aren't skilled, they're exploiting a broken system.

Where's the positive? If you've got a strengthening tension headache, there's no mixing there. Tension in your head, tension in the room, tension in a Hubble, it's all bad.

It shouldn't. I believe clauses in place to support interoperability of software would cover it.

I'd adjust that to: a lot of people work at least one job less than 40 hours a week. I've held multiple jobs in the past for some extra income. So did my mother when we were growing up. So have all three of my siblings in between

The rich aren't entrusted, they're entrenched. Despite their PR, they're an artifact of a glitchy system, they're not any more deserving or dedicated or dependable than anyone else. Very often they're much less.

You should adjust your expectations. All anecdotal, but where I lived before now there were 5 incomes in a single household. The people who lived there before us had 4. In my own prior housing it was 3. Where I live now there's just 2.

Maybe it's the single slowest individual item, but it's very far from being a significant fraction of boot time. And the capacity really hasn't kept up the way speed has. My desktop has 24GB of DDR3 1600 and manages to post i

I unfortunately 100% agree. While an amount of whimsy should be everywhere, animation shouldn't be used as just eye candy. Like every other aspect of UI design, it has to be used with purpose and care. And yeah, that's way rarer t

There's real UX benefit to it is why. Things instantly changing to entirely different layouts takes time to process visually, if things lerp to their new positions then that processing time is cut down to the length of the animation, w

Every part it's bottlenecked is similarly exponentially improved from the olden days though.

That's kinda Debian's shtick. Its ethos is to be rock-solid stable no matter what. No changes but bug fixes, and it gets those in a very timely manner. It's an amazing distro for what it is, but in a desktop or workstation so

The windows have no frame. They slide up into the body of the car. If the door opens, the car needs to roll the window down a bit, then open the door. Without power, none of that happens. And if you use the emergency switch, the window show

Then let's take that one example off our friend upthread's list and I fully believe their point still stands very strong. Users use the GTK4 apps that devs chose GTK4 to build with, and that stands even when an app has competition

Amberol? Celluloid? Mission Center? Practically every toolkit out there has one of each these apps before it even hits version 1.0 just as a demo of its capabilities. There's dozens if not hundreds. Bottles has PlayOnLinux or Lutris. I

You have a choice to install a non GTK4 program with an identical function. And yet 60K people chose the GTK4 option. You may not like the UI, totally fine, but clearly plenty of people do when they're looking through a catalog of just
