I would question their omniscience if they did.

FOSS was the original. Free and Open Source Software. But, English being English, "free" was too ambiguous (free as in gratis vs. unrestricted), so the French came to the rescue with the much superior word "libre". That's how F/LOSS (Free/Libre) was coined.

Tariffs are paid by the company that imports foreign-made goods to the government. To make up for that expense, they charge the retailer the same amount; and to make up for that expense, the retailer charges the customer the same (or a higher) amount added to the item's price. (at least as I understand it)

If OOP is "100% Trump!", they should be very, extremely happy about paying into THEIR President's pockets.

There are five different file pickers on my system and I never know which application uses which one, or if my bookmarks will appear in them, or if the dialog will respect theming or display icons from a light theme on a dark background. Speaking of theming, it’s a shitshow. QT and GTK apps never look even similar, and the existence of Adwaita isn’t helping. If you want a flatpak app to use your preferred cursor, you have to manually grant it access to additional paths, then it's a 50/50 chance. There is massive feature fragmentation between Wayland compositors, especially with GNOME, the “user-friendly one” dragging its feet (pun intended). We didn’t even have a functional on-screen keyboard until recently in Plasma. Xorg wasn't any better -- you had to choose between high input latency (compositor on) or massive screen tearing (compositor off), and it was a maintenance nightmare. But let's not forget about audio either: the first time I tried to switch to Linux ~2016, I could never get PulseAudio to work reliably.

These are only the issues I've personally come across. I'm sure others could add to the list. Having a preference of desktops is fine and I would never deprive you of that right, but saying that the Linux desktop experience across the board is "easier to use and more functional" than everything else, and especially claiming it has "been for a long time", is untrue, and fucking stupid. That's why you're getting downvoted.

And don't you think I didn't notice how you never actually presented any arguments for your claims.

Same deal with MMO players. They don't miss "the social aspect of MMOs", they miss the novelty of sitting around with like-minded degenerates in a cool-looking chatroom until the dungeon queue pops.

There is no easier to use and more functional desktop with great user experience than Linux.

Ignoring the fact that you make it sound like Linux has a single unified desktop experience...

I'd love to hear your reason for thinking that. I'm a Linux fanboy and even I'm smelling the bullshit.

Either ATC would have you copy a phone number, or the military would send you a high-explosive welcome package. Not sure which is worse.

I don't know exactly why, but there's a conspicuous lack of navigation waypoints over the Urals. It's probably not a safe idea to have aircraft cross over a mountain range when it can be avoided. Most of the airways cross directly west-to-east.

Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.

 

re: this article.

The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.

 

About half a year ago I bought a used UPS. It didn't have enough output to power my main PC, but it's perfect for my home server and network.

Starting on Christmas eve and continuing even today, my neighbourhood has been getting intermittent brownouts. It's only affecting one phase (house is on a three-phase 240V connection), which happens to be the one powering my network (also all of the light fixtures, stupid Soviet house), and the UPS works beautifully. I didn't lose any of my services even once. Without it, I would probably be reinstalling Proxmox and praying to the RAID gods to restore my hard drives.

"It pays for itself as soon as it is needed" is proven true once again.

It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.

I haven't done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody's come into my office with an emergency. I've been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I'll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they're empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad's gift.

What a perfectly adequate day.
