I moved to a Mac after a decade of Linux on the desktop. After years of fiddling with drivers, crappy trackpad behaviours and so on, I wanted a computer that got out of my way and just worked. MacOS is far from perfect but it works perfectl

IRC lacks history, unless you want to run a proxy some place. With IRC, you either run your own server or trust a server run by someone with whom you probably have no commercial relationship. IRC clients mostly suck, for the purposes of peo

Except the lack of telephone sanitizers led to the downfall of the Golgafrinchans, whereas the loss of blogger wannabes from a society would not have provided such a plot point.

With Ubuntu, and other Linuxen I've used, it's a matter of typing "firefox" or whatever the app is called. So, sure, I can type the extra but what I like about the Linux world is that there's no distinction between

Debian is an operating system that comes with its own curated library of software. To answer why it upgrades user software when you update the underlying operating system, you need to look at how that software is compiled in a Linux distrib
