As someone who lost 30 kg of excess weight and kept it off for many years, I second this comment. I have a few acquaintances ("friends" as Americans like to call them) who have gone through literally dozens of fad diets over the y

cmake generator only needs to be run once per project. After that you use make or ninja directly, and it regenerates the build files if necessary. I can't say it's a strong argument against cmake.

What are you talking about? uBlock Origin is not tied to Chromium, and is not controlled by Google (unlike Brave which is just a fork of Chromium). Jesus, why does everyone these days automatically assumes that everyone else is using Chrome

I use a 6 year old desktop which wasn't that great even when I built it, and a pretty terrible 8 year old laptop, and I don't have any problems with uBlock Origin's performance. I have almost every filter list enabled (except

Of course it isn't. Pihole and similar DNS-based blockers do nothing for those kinds of spam which require performing DOM manipulations to be removed. Check uBlock settings after installing it. It has a separate "annoyances"

Please stop spreading misinformation. You don't need a card, you don't have to provide any identification at all. The domains are free for as long as you want (I've been using one for the last 3 years), you just have to click

Why would you necessarily buy a domain? I use lots of free domains in .tk and .cf, they work great. https://freenom.com/ For frequently changing IPs there are also services like http://duckdns.org which provide

Superior documentation and AUR. You can find almost anything in AUR, including all the proprietary crap, and install it all with one command. It's also very easy to write a PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR if you don't find what you

Fedora is a community distribution despite what many think. It is not controlled by RH in any way.

I see repeating conversations on a couple of forums I visit all the time, precisely because of the linear nature of the discussion. Nobody is going to bother to read the last 30 pages of dialog, when you have to skip pages and pages and pag

>Wayland still not ready for daily use .. KDE .. That's almost as much an over-generalization as saying "PC is not ready for daily use". Wayland is a protocol (or even a family of protocols), kwin is one specific composito

I still find it extremely buggy. I've been hearing these "KDE 5 is fine now" for the past few months in comments, podcasts, blog posts, etc. Yesterday I gave in and decided to try the latest release. After logging in, KDE gre

They were using static linking by default though. You could always switch the linker to dynamic linking and get those sweet 20-something KiB binaries. MFC with C++ was using dynamic linking by default, but you could always switch to static

Thank you for sway and wlroots. You, Drew, and others have been doing an amazing job. For every complainer there are many more in the silent majority who simply use and enjoy the products of your hard work.

It's not a problem if you're using a proper IDE. Rider and IDEA will take you right to the implementation (or will display a list if there are multiple implementations) on Ctrl+Alt+B. This works on any of the parent classes/i

I wrote a comment pointing out the lunacy of this situation, and it got flagged almost immediately. Do you also refuse to use the Linux kernel? It's got plenty of that dirty Chinese code these days. I see @huawei.com and others on LKML

What are you talking about? Put CentOS or Ubuntu LTS on your box and forget about it for the next ten years. The only updates you'll get are security and bug fixes, nothing fundamental will change. The next LTS release you'll inst
