I think the name "app" is quite universally recognized as "mobile application", i.e. application for iOS or Android. I think you should call it "application" to avoid confusion. Windows application would be eve

I'm not sure I understand your point. Is there any conversation where this behaviour occurred that you feel comfortable sharing? I haven't observed it, and I'd be curious to understand if I've missed it, or if me and you

I had a very similar problem to the one OP was facing, and I solved it by connecting my fenced router (a router with no fixed public IP) via Wireguard to one machine in my tailscale network, and set up subnet routers so I can access it from

I agree 99% with you. I think you're doing the right thing installing Windows in your position. BUT in my opinion the reason for this is not inherent in Linux or Windows. It's the myth around them. The myth around windows is that

I was referring to Microsoft selling ad space on your computer. Not them using it themselves. In this regard, it's different from what Canonical did. I'm talking about choices that disrupt user productivity on their computers. Not

I'd be happy to take your experience into account in case I'll need to vouch this in the future. But unfortunately it's not very clear what shortcomings of Node-Red were a problem for you. Could you rephrase your experience,

I think you _do_ need a GPU. But it can work with an integrated one, no need for a discrete one. I can't run it on Linux since WebGPU is not working for me...

If you ask me to solve increasingly dififcult Tower of Hanoi problems, I don't expect to be good at it. Neither would I expect a fellow human to be. So based on this should we question our intelligence? I heard about that paper through

> We realize test driven development doesn't work, right? What do you mean with this? I'm a software engineer, and I use TDD quite often. Very often I write tests after coding features. But I see a huge value coming from tests.
