I’m not sure I understand. What’s the difference in incentives colleges in lowering tuitions whether the government pays them directly or indirectly through the students? They are getting paid either way. Unless there was a cap that was rem

No it isn’t. Because we had centuries of no consumer protection. And there were no competitive pressures to simplify agreements. Consumer protection laws that forced companies to simplify agreements were a response to the massive increase i

Art is so much better when you understand it. I don’t have much music knowledge, but I’d imagine the same is true for music as well. What I do suspect will happen is that a lot of music you currently enjoy, because it’s played in our enviro

This is what it boils down to. Systemd has been solving problems that all distros have been facing. Unlike most Linux development, they haven’t focused on what their devs want to do (which for much of Linux is repackaging Ubuntu with uglier

Except systemd is almost the exact opposite of a monolith. Systemd runs just fine even without systemd-oomd and can probably be disabled by a command as simple as: > systemctl disable --now systemd-oomd and doesn’t need to be installed
