While I think (and lament) that you are almost right -- that is, that ridding the world of the foul pestilence that is JSON it will take insanely longer than it should -- I do think it will come a bit sooner than the heat death of the u

In the US it is insanely expensive and non-easy unless you have a doctor in your thrall who can prescribe it. There's some startup doing "CGM just FYI" but it is like USD $500 per month IIRC. Other countries, such as Australi

That isn't close to a naming collision in a legal/trademark sense. Neither the "mate" of "Sugarmate" nor the "Glu" ooh ooh ooh nearness to "Glooko" is close enough to be actionable (in the U

No, the parent you are replying to meant that Canonical only gave up on upstart and accepted defeat (and thus went with systemd) when Debian made that decision.

The latency graph in the article you post actually shows sporadic but substantial lag of around 100% (12ms to 25+ ms) with the wireless dongle. The average of all the lag might be low, but the lag when it does occur seems quite high. But in

I clicked through to this thread because I want to know more about this. I'm a user (of both RHEL and Fedora, although I use RHEL via the free developer license so I am not actually a customer). I used to be a Sun user in the same way,

I agree, but at USD $120/year it is expensive. (It's worth it to me, but I'd still prefer something equally easy-to-use, standards-based, but self-hosted with rounds-to-zero running costs.)

Me too in Tokyo... I always wonder when this happens if sites are overloaded, e.g. from getting slashdotted by HN, or just blocking foreign countries for some weird reason / by accident. Error code: 1020 Ray ID: 7ae07d4c9a632

200%. On Pop OS, my middle age eyes also liked to enable the Gnome option "Large Text" in the Accessibility settings. I haven't found the equivalent on KDE yet. But it still looks great and super crisp, just a little bit smal

By "workspaces" do you mean what KDE calls "Virtual Desktops"? AFAICT, no, they don't seem to be changeable per-monitor. Additionally, when I was poking around in the System Settings to see whether there was some op

Yes, that is exactly the problem that KDE+Wayland solves for me. The 8K 32" is way higher ppi than a normal 4K (mine are 27") so you really need per-monitor scaling factor. I used to run everything at 200%, and then the 8K looked

Yeah, I didn't really mention it but my days usually involve working all day on Linux, but then switching to the Mac (using the same set of monitors, via a KVM switch) in the evening to do non-work stuff. So that switch has to really

Yep, when I contacted Level1Techs to ask if their "1.4 Display Port KVM Switch - Dual Monitor - Four Computer" KVM switch would support it (the monitor needs 2 cables so you need a dual monitor KVM to make it work at 60Hz), the pr

The 8K (I only actually have one of these) is for coding. I normally go into an evangelistic fervor when somebody asks me about it, but I am on my way to dinner, so let me cut to the TL;DR: The 280ppi of an 8K 31.5" display is so much

Maybe you're joking, but I think the comparison here is macOS and Windows, not commercial desktop environments for Linux.

This is great. I recently moved to KDE Plasma (on Nobara Linux) after many years of Pop OS, because I recently moved into a new office, and no longer have room to have my Mac and Linux setups side by side, but have to consolidate them in a

Yeah, I didn't get that either, when I read it, but I think what andrewbranch is talking about there[1] is that you might still be able to have problems importing TypeScript code that is using the new "bundle" module resolu

FYI, I just tested this, and it seems to work. I was a little concerned about the commentary in the PR about this new mode being "definitely not suitable for Deno", but I think what you want to do is the same thing I've been

The leading contender for becoming the killer app seems to be (surprisingly to many, including the makers of all the early VR headsets) fitness. Using various game mechanics, you can make exercise so much more fun in VR/AR than say,

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to back your kickstarter.

Yeah, but for me (and I think most people, although I suspect there's a lot of diversity from person to person) what comes "out of the brain" is noticeably different when writing by hand. Most of us can type a lot faster than

I use Pop OS (mostly) but there is not a super compelling use case for if you don't want to just go with their defaults. Pop OS is a time saver in the sense that it gives you a bunch of things out of the box (disk encryption, tiling wi

Microsoft rather famously tried this[1]. And it seemed to really help them. I've worked places that have tried it, too. It does work; in my experience, it literally always improves software quality. But I think it is like how pretty mu

Well, one reason you'd need one is if your boot filesystem is encrypted and you want to be able to reboot the machine remotely. (I use ZFSBootMenu for this purpose; it's accessible via SSH and can be used to decrypt the filesystem

You should look it up and edit your comment, because it is wrong. A smallish woman walking on a treadmill burns more than 300kcal/hour.

Yeah I would like to get this into the common understanding also. During the pandemic I developed high blood pressure for the first time, and I had also put on some weight. So as part of addressing the blood pressure, I decided to drop the
