Oh man, I’ve used Pop exclusively for 2 years now. I run it on a Thinkpad X1 Extreme, and I love it. I switched from using Macs (for the better part of 20 years) after the whole 2018 keyboard debacle. I can’t imagine going back. Only downsi

I'm currently typing this response from a ThinkPad X1 Extreme, running Pop_OS. I've been a faithful MBP user, and before that a faithful PowerBook user. My 2017 MBP was the last straw. While I appreciate Apple extending the warr

I'm curious to know what the key differences are between the modern western diet and the diet of our ancestors. Are you primarily speaking to our consumption of processed foods? Also, what was the diet of our ancestors, and how was t

I'm sorry, but this feels to me like an over-dramatized heap of bullshit. First, the statement, "Rails. You clearly messed up." is self righteous bullshit at its finest. Rails didn't mess up; the programmer(s) at Github messed up. No cons
