It’s pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.
We don’t know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us…
If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.
Spotify is trying this with their audiobook subscription service.
Nerds like us can argue until we are blue in the face, 99% of the public will continue to call it Linux. GNU/Linux is a good way to prompt those not in the know to learn some of the history while still being understandable as Linux, that is the current and best solution, I do not think it is unresolved.
I think 2 things would improve things:
allow a small amount of control over the direction of the ragdoll, similar to games like goatsimulator and such to help prevent getting ragdolled into death pits and losing all your sample and equipment.
grant a small window of ragdoll immunity (not damage immunity to be clear) after being ragdolled and after landing from a reenforce to stop endless ragdoll loops
Neo colonies like isreal…
These both seem to be pretty neutral titles?
Go to language and region > click 3 dots for your language > language options > add a keyboard > add Dvorak (or whatever). Then either remove the qwerty layout or do win+space to actually select the keyboard layout.
Would ssh -X username@localhost work?
And also consider that even if you block out the ad the people around you probably haven’t, the most effective ad is the one your friend saw.
There’s some cool 5.1 and even 7.1 stuff in classical music (I don’t have a a surround sound setup myself but I hear a lot of talk of it).
You can also use a water bottle or watering can, although I can’t really recommend that experience but that’s what people who are socialized to use them do when they can’t afford/install a proper one.

I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.
I totally agree, I object to the idea that people will just needlessly waste ambulance resources.
It’s just not really true, when I broke my foot (as a Canadian) I didn’t really consider an ambulance, because I didn’t need stabilizing or healthcare on the ride over and i probably didnt want to go to the ER over UC during the height of covid. I just hopped in an Uber, which got me there faster, why would i want the whole gurny and flashing lights. There are certainly people who would have called an ambulance in my situation (and plenty of situations where a broken foot warrants an ambulance too) but there are also plenty of rich Americans who would do that too.
I know this isn’t the point but avast is more or less malware itself these days. The bundled windows defender + the free (not always running) version of malwarebytes is a good enough solution for almost everyone.
I think it can be helpful to separate “built in” gui tools with everything else, having them all under one letter accomplishes that.
Disney releases new movies with new characters pretty quickly. I don’t think they have even exhausted the first movie yet.
Does it?
user A uses their full bandwidth from 2am-4am when the network is empty then watches a 720p video at 5pm (or whenever the networks peak is).
User B watches an 8k video at 5pm and nothing at any other time.
UserB clearly contributes to congestion on the network more than user A despite user A using more data. Furthermore throttling user A does less to resolve the congestion than throttling user B.
IMO If the network needs to throttle then the people the most data at that instant in time need to be throttled and the network needs to start upgrading its infrastructure or amending its marketing materials.
Really the current internet model is a little weird, it should be pay to use with on and off peak hours the same as other utilities, and throttling should be seen as a major failure that needs immediate attention.
