My computer doesn’t really break, I’m Ship of Theseus-ing it regularly.
Apart from that, the only one among the normal window based ones that has felt like it respects my will to configure stuff in ways that feel right to me has been KDE Plasma.
He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.
I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

9 years and 4 months ago I bought an Acer laptop with a 4 core Intel Skylake with hyperthreading (i7-6700HQ) and a Nvidia GTX 960M, because the laptop I had was slow for compiling in my classes at Uni, and I wanted a discrete GPU for the occasional game when away from my Desktop PC (winter break and such (still use it for that btw)). I regretted that three times:
First when I wanted to install Linux instead of just using VMs. In early 2016 the kernels on live system ISOs didn’t properly support Skylake yet, so I fucked around with Arch a bunch, but didn’t end up keeping it installed. Don’t remember why, probably got busy with schoolwork.
Then a while later, after I had installed Ubuntu or Fedora at some point, the next issue was that cooperative mode of Bluetooth and Wifi on the included Intel wireless chip wasn’t well supported (even found an Intel Bluetooth dev saying as much on a mailing list), and it hung sometimes, so I had to make a script to turn the chip off and then rescan the PCI bus, that worked as a workaround but was still annoying.
Finally when we had Machine Learning classes I thought I might be able to use CUDA locally, so I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver and was greeted by a black screen on the next boot. Had to boot from a live system and chroot in to remove the proprietary crap again.
On my Desktop PC I have used AMD GPUs for quite a while and dual booting Windows and Linux has always been a breeze.
We still use RCS at work. For config files for our network monitoring. Works fine still.
It’s actually right in the name. Anarchy from an-arkhos means “without ruler”. They think hierarchies are illegitimate per se.
Too cold or not enough warm.
Defense is a surprisingly large use of land. How is that? Can anyone explain the most land intensive uses of the Armed Forces? Like tank training areas maybe?
This surprised me too. But that was in 2012 😂
And Jainism has infinitely many gods, they just aren’t that important, from what I gather.
Ah but maybe the vibe is a lowkey period we can’t be sure
Ah I’m glad to see the situation seems to have cooled a little.
See this comment and the three following, as well as this one and the two following. I think they can now work it out between the projects reasonably.
PS: This more fundamental proposal for Fedora Workstation that started from the OBS packaging issue is also interesting to read. It seems they are looking to make more limited / focused use of their own Flatpak remote in the future since some old assumptions regarding Flatpaks and Flathub don’t hold so well anymore.
I don’t have an answer but I have another example:
“A part of something” gets turned into “apart of something”, I assume this is also not caught by autocorrect because “apart from something” would actually exist.
They could improve this so much by saying something like “the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of unsaved progress will be lost” instead. Just need to keep a time counter from last save, that’s not too much overhead.
Ah as an intermediary for TypeScript? Fair point.
The Chinese tanks stopped for the man in the photo!
What a line dude.
The military shot at the crowd and ran over people in the square the day before. Hundreds died. Stopping for this guy doesn’t mean much.
being a registered business they purchase for prices without VAT
That’s not true, sorry. A business pays stuff with VAT included too, but they can later claim back the VAT they paid against the VAT they raised from selling stuff, so they don’t have to hand all of that over.
You probably mean the sales taxes, those look similar from a consumer point of view, but they work differently.
In a VAT system the taxes are collected all along the value addition chain. Each sale of intermediary products has the VAT cost on it, but companies can claim the VAT that they pay for their inputs against the one they collected on their outputs. In effect each company hands over the part of VAT that is raised on their part of the value addition. In the end it all comes from the consumer who buys the final product but doesn’t sell anything onward so they can’t claim their paid VAT against anything. This system determines the end consumer automatically.
In a sales tax system, only the sale to the final end customer is taxed, and intermediary products are not taxed. Intermediary companies must prove to their suppliers that they are not end customers, that they intend to sell things onward, and that they are therefore exempted from sales tax and the supplier does not have to collect sales tax. If that fails, then that means mistakenly a company has to pay sales tax, and then their customer has to pay it again.
Other than that I don’t know enough to compare:
Just to make sure you know: Basically everyone has a VAT, except the US. It’s not some special EU thing.
We have it in Switzerland, Canada has it, Japan has it, China has it, India has it, Russia has it, Brazil has it, Indonesia has it, Australia has it, Ukraine has it, Mexico has it, South Africa has it… I’m stopping here, but every country I googled had it so far.
Ahhh I’m rubbing up against all this nothing so roughly it feels almost sticky
