Snaps also can't be installed from anywhere besides Snapcraft. That's a huge red flag to me. I initially disliked Flatpak, but I've come around to it recently in light of where Snaps seem to be heading.

AMD's drivers are built into mainline Linux, and Nvidia's drivers are basically just the Windows ones with a different kernel module. I've honestly had a better experience with AMD cards on Linux than I have on Windows.

It also changes in ways that can make it hard to automate deployments. For instance, the base package group used to include a kernel, but no longer does.

Do you think pure nitrogen would work in this situation?

Your argument is equally absurd. Should we stop selling screwdrivers as well because they might be used to stab someone? The practical uses for such a tool far outweigh the dangers it presents to society. Do you treat the developers of FTP,

This is all personal experience, so obvious salt is required with it. I've had bizarre networking bugs pop up on arch that I've not had elsewhere. I also just don't like rolling releases as much as I used to. Since the majori

They never bothered to clean it up because without the power plant, the town was dead. Most of the people living there were plant workers.

I remember an Indian work friend of mine angrily telling me about another employee who wouldn't stop harassing him on account of his last name and the caste it placed him in. This was at a Fortune 10 company and nothing was done about

For a while they were bundling in spyware with popular downloads, which would not have been stopped by an adblocker, and common sense would have dictated it wasn't there to begin with. They've since stopped now that the site has c

An anti-competitive company doesn't make contributions to open source projects that are only tangentially related to their own product, nor does it let you integrate arbitrary software with their product. Epic, on the other hand, doesn

Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but the outcome of this study seems to suggest there may be other healing-related issues attached to veganism.

The nuclear waste argument is a purely American one. European countries (France specifically) have a multi-reactor chain where each successive step uses the "waste" from the last step. While this doesn't eliminate the need fo

How is it pointless to ask a job applicant if they have experience relevant to the job? I thought that was, you know, the entire point of an interview.

That's what I got from it, but I have to say I don't understand the decision to throw away such a storied architecture as MIPS. I mean come on, the N64 runs on it!

Most people only go to one school. How exactly do you propose an interviewer come to know the full curriculum of every school in the country while still being able to do their actual job? I doubt most school administrators are even aware of

Interviews exist as a way to determine if the person who wants to work for you has experience with the things you need them to know. There's a point to asking whether they've had academic experience with something important to you

You should check out Spot[0]. It's a Spotify client written in Rust using GTK. It's quite barebones at the moment and only works with premium accounts, but the interface is much cleaner than the official Spotify client. [0] https
