Great. We need to sue Mozilla to death for GDPR violation, it seems. I guessed Mozilla would eventually die, but not like this.

I did see this happening with AMD too. AMD drivers had a bug around 2020 that newer AMD Thinkpads couldn't drive 4K displays. It was one of the reasons I stopped using Linux after buying a new Thinkpad T14 Gen 1. Half of the hardware o

It can be significantly hard to get home charging in Europe, however. There is also a much better, more environmentally friendly option available in Europe: extensive public transport. Moreover cities are dense here. So a bike is more usefu

This is a hyperbolic comment. You are either simplifying to the core, are misinformed or ignorant. There is a nuance. You can have leaks in every language including garbage collected ones. Allocate a shared OS resource like a semaphore and

It wasn't that the people requesting certain things politely that brought regulation. It was when things turned nonprofitable or outright violent. The New Deal was the ideal of Roosevelt but other politicians knew very well what people

I don't think it generates better results than Adobe Indesign nor it is easier to use. One wonders why LaTeX has many users?Larger userbase can easily explained by being free. Students and PhDs usually don't have extra money to bu

Typst has a far easier to use packaging system but the default feature set is already good enough for the most. Don't forget that many LaTeX packages exist solely because TeX and LaTeX suck and they are very underengineered save-the-da

You can be decisive and inclusive without being a prick who is personally targeting developers and publicly demeaning. Linus was like that. No sane developer wants that. A true inclusive environment also requires leaders to tell rowdy maint

The people who contribute to kernel and especially maintain the subsystems are some of the most well-paid developers out there. If they are not a principal engineer somewhere, they have their own lucrative consultancy business.

Allocating dedicated FSD roads is a terrible future. It will basically kill cities. I find myself agreeing with most of the arguments here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0

Yeah. This answer is weak. If they are really supportive, they need to put down their names.

WSL2 has options now to reclaim unused memory and it has never required a full HyperV just a limited subset of it. That's how and why you can use it on Windows Home.

So you were just lucky and Linux didn't happen to allocate system / driver critical memory to your specific RAM's broken side and this sheer luck gets it a praise. I had the opposite. I got a Thinkpad with a broken RAM IC. Wi

WSL2 uses a lower level, simpler API than HyperV which is a full-fledged hypervisor. That's why it is also available on Windows Home. If you can enable WSL1, you should also be able to use WSL2 unless the HW virtualization is completel

If they are not willing to give complete power to the user, it will not happen, ever. Linux isn't designed for granular permission management like Windows is. A Linux desktop administrator has to choose between all or never. Moreover t

Same. Luckily my team switched to Rust almost 100%. So I don't need to learn about the godforsaken coroutine syntax and what pitfalls they laid when you use char wrong with it or in which subset of calls std::range does something stupi

If the minority maintainers scream every time they see other languages due to their insecurities, technical inability and stubbornness, and their overreactions get a pass, it is not the fault of Rust, C++ or Swift. The source of the disturb

To be honest, in Germany even the brick and mortar banks provide transfer services. They will detect and move your automatic payments. You usually fill a form, login to each bank and they send automatic requests to move stuff. Similarly my

It is extremely hard to create an application that doesn't depend on CRT on Windows. CRT provides tables for handlers of SEH exceptions and provides the default event handlers. Win32 headers have hard dependencies of the handler tables

Those are trial versions. You cannot fully activate them without doing the equivalent of a full OS install. You need to find a corporate partner and buy a whole bunch of regular Win 10/11 Pro licenses and you're eligible to get LT
