Is this a realistic option? Say you're an American and go to Canada or the UK (I don't know where else has universal healthcare off the top of my head, maybe nordic countries). Can you get treatment without being a citizen or owni

I think you meant "should" and not "shouldn't" both times used here, if I'm understanding what you're trying to say correctly.

A tattoo of proprietary software or really any company seems kind of sad and dystopian to me. Nothing against vmware in particular. I recall an old meme collage of a bunch of people with Apple tattoos that was not putting them in a favorabl

I had a ton of trouble opening a 10MB or so png a few weeks back. It was stitched together screenshots forming a map of some areas in a game, so it was quite large. Some stuff refused to open it at all as if the file was invalid, some would

Look at the flags for Texas and Chile for a more reasonable version of the US flag. The new Minnesota flag is an example of a good flag by these rules as well.

I'm quite happy with irssi, just figured it was worth checking. Lots of stuff becomes free software if it sticks around long enough. Blender is a big one that was originally proprietary, I believe. I did check Wikipedia before posting

The Pico is a microcontroller, like an arduino, in case you didn't know. Doesn't run a full GNU/Linux. Not to be confused with the Nano.

Doesn't this mainly come down to Macs using weirder architectures while Windows largely stuck to the IBM PC and its clones/descendants? I'm also seeing more software lately talking about dropping support for Windows 7 or 8 af

I recall some missing dependencies or drivers stopping the game from starting in SheepShaver. I was able to resolve some, but not all of them (I remember something with "carbon" in the name). It seemed like it was a sound-related

That name reminds me of PUBG and Proton-GE (specifically the GE part). Both awkwardly named after one person's internet handle. If sufficiently shortened, and ideally also pronounceable, I think it can work. With that in mind, "CS

It's not about source code access, it's about guaranteeing the four freedoms. As a user, with proprietary software you have to worry about whether you can share a copy with a friend, sell it on a CD to a guy on the street for $5,

Colemak has flaws of its own, bandaged over with "Mod-DH", but I'd say just skip it and go to Workman. It aims for 50/50 hand usage unlike other layouts, but it does not encourage the constant alteration like Dvorak. Com
