Well yes, if you stick to a purely physicalist framework then determinism is fair to defend, but you incur in a lot of debatable compromises to be able to stick to physicalism, and most of the philosophers (if not all) that defend free-will

If one filesystem gets full, you still can do some work on the others. You can also more easily umount a filesystem to fsck without the need of booting a live media. You can mount filesystems with different flags, like readonly on /boo

Gnome3 has a serious performance issue. Honestly, what drove me away from it was the fact that the whole DE seems to run on a single thread, meaning that any extension or animation going on the top panel, or anything else on the interface f

I feel the same with mice on macOS. This setting kinda fixed it for me, you can try different scaling factors: defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling 1 You will need to logout and login after applying it though.

Error-correcting code. They're referring to ECC memory, which is more reliable to bit flips than normal memory, useful in cases when sensitive tasks can't afford an unexpected bit flip.

Side-note, this project was one of the inspirations behind the cult-classic Ecco the Dolphin game for the Sega Genesis This video explains it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xUvhUK8Dv8

I believe the resize issue is fixed on Gnome3 for awhile now, or maybe it was some issue with Ubuntu's default theme? Global Menus is unfortunately something that I still miss, although I was able to recover some screen space with an E

Kind of unrelated, but dolphins and aliens remind me so much of Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega Genesis, one of the most unsettling games I've ever played. I recently found a video explaining the inspiration behind the game, which is mes

Stick Control is basically fine motor coordination and a bit of limb independence exercises, even if you are not a drummer, practicing stick control will improve your "handling" in any instrument. Or even in unexpected things, for

Also, for any apps that have group chats, I like to disable notifications for them. If someone really needs to contact me, they can send a direct message, or @ me, otherwise I will only check the group chat when I have the time or patience

WhatsApp is huge in Brazil, even businesses now offer a WhatsApp number for contact. Maybe that's a by-product of Apple devices being too expensive here. SMS is mainly used for bank alerts, confirmation codes, advertisement and scammer

I recommend Privacy Badger, sponsored by the EFF, which is supposed to block trackers. I prefer it over Ghostery, which is backed by some company. uBlock Origin is great for blocking Ads though. If you really need to block scripts, there&#x

Things are improving over time, even if slowly. With more people using Linux distros, the incentive to improve the desktop parts is greater. Kernel support is improving too. AMD is contributing to the open source amdgpu driver now, Intel&#x

As absurd as it looks, Microsoft in some part seems to be helping make Linux more attractive. I can tell because of my younger brother, he is constantly complaining of Windows shenanigans (forced upgrades, inconsistent performance, disk spa

Most of the big game engines were ported to Linux at this point, so it has become easier for developers to target these platforms. There are multiple AAA titles running natively on Linux, with comparable performance to their Windows counter

Some services/apps may be able to transfer stuff to a new account. When I deactivated my Facebook account, I had Spotify linked to it. I created a new Spotify account with an email and contacted their support to transfer everything to

We have that problem too, a lot of the corruption (I'd say most but I don't have data) is to gather money to be used by the political parties on their campaigns, propaganda, etc. Buying voters with literal cash works with people t

It's almost like she helped him get his point across, it was clearly an "Us vs Them" debate for her, she pushed it hard, and Peterson defused her with his argumentation and composture. It's kinda sad how things have gott
