Only fairly recently has Linux really seen much development of tiling WMs on top of things like Gnome and KDE. I know some of them can be run on top of XFCE and have for a while, but all of them fell similarly janky to ones on MacOS. It&#x2

Exploitation of human beings is not a trait of capitalism; it is a trait of human beings. You create any sort of system that can be gamed to get an unfair advantage or privilege and there will be people that will exploit it. You can nationa

I do not think there's a particularly feasible way to facilitate every keyboard layout out there, so it makes sense that they are at least built with one keyboard layout in mind, much like I think it makes sense that programming in gen

I fail to see how this is a stupid trend. Most people want to have a camera on their person always and smartphones are that camera. They've completely killed off the point and shoot market and mostly the camcorder market as well. Seein

This is what relative line numbers are useful for. Not so useful for a delete word action, though. If I'm deleting a set of words though that's when something like leap, sneak, etc. can be useful, since it's a bit more descri

I'm quite surprised that CD-Rs have such a long potential longevity, though I suppose they are only a certain kind (that I almost certainly have never used when I was burning CD-Rs) that are designed to be more durable. It also kind of

This website is terrible. Its "resources" are almost entirely just links to articles and youtube videos. The information is poorly presented and poorly written. Why is the front page entirely taken up by a picture of a penguin?

Given that people expect their folders in MacOS to leave things where they put them and the fact that .DS_Store files aren’t visible by default, I can’t agree with you. It ensures that these settings carry over regardless of what actions yo

This is basically what Georgism [1] aims to solve. I don't think it's only a matter of imposing a land value tax, though. I think government regulations like zoning and poorly thought out housing code impede development the most.
