No, as you observed, it goes in all directions and doesn’t have a real point that can be summarized. This is not a recommendation to read it.

That doesn’t answer the question. Sure, in isolation, Android app ecosystem isn’t ideal. But it’s so so much better at allowing competition than the apple one.

You also have an oil layer that keeps certain kinds of bacteria out, so don’t destroy that one. As said: most days, just lather pits, groin, and feet, simply rinse the rest with water.

Phones and keyboard are filthy, but it’s more about people usually not cleaning them enough and not about people not being clean enough.

The amount of bacteria on thoroughly and often soap-washed skin very quickly rises high because of the missing acid and/or oil layer.

The “only use soap on armpits+groin+feet most of the time” recommendation is not made up.

Lather some soap in to a flannel and scrub every part of your body

That’s not recommended by dermatologists. Soap destroys the acid layer on your skin that keeps bacteria out. As a regular thing, you should therefore only lather on soap where the bacteria buildup is high enough, i.e. under your arms, in your butt crack and other skin folds.

Unless you got super sweaty, you shouldn’t soap up your arms and legs every day.

The Culture is amazing, it’s an anarcho-socialist utopia that’s much more radical free than Star Trek’s society.

… I feel the same way as you about billionaires appropriating it.

They probably didn’t label their axes properly. FPS is a clearly defined metric, and there, more is better. This indicates that the conclusion (Linux is faster) holds. Since frame times have an entry with value “100” and all other values are lower, I assume that’s in percent, i.e. Arch Linux is the fastest and picked as comparison point, and the others are shown with relative performance to Arch.

Yes. He’s smart enough to mostly back the right R&D horses, and good at generating hype. That way, he almost manages to offset the damage he does when his ego gets in the way or he thinks he’s qualified to make engineering decisions or to know which corners to cut.

I’ve heard nothing but good, and replacing Pulseaudio was painless. It was Pulseaudio that people hated on in my experience

The Arch wiki made installing it very painless for me. Zero problems. Install it, remove PA, activate systemd service.

KDE had that pretty much since the invention of the mouse wheel.

Sure, until the next update, when they forcibly enable it again.

Yeah, especially the argument about Wayland compositors taking down all apps with them when they crash: that’s just bad, no need to sugarcoat that.

A better argument would be that it’s not true: KWin keeps Qt apps alive, and they’re working on extending that to all apps. As a result, in the only crash I’ve experienced, I only lost my Firefox window, and zero data as all my tabs and form entry values got restored when I started it again.

Wayland isn’t coded at all, it’s a protocol, so clearly you know nothing.

I was very sad when KDE reintroduced the concept of “primary screen”.

It used to just be the current screen, which meant that when I wanted to game or watch something on my projector, I just dragged steam or the folder with movies to the projector screen, then launched whatever I wanted, and it appeared on the screen I wanted it on.

Now I have to jerryrig kwin and a custom steam-in-gamescope Launcher to have games launch there. As a side effect, steam thinks my PC is a steam deck and therefore can’t be exited from inside of it, I have to right click the tray icon.

Horribly kludgy compared to “click launch game button on screen x, game opens on screen x”

Basically everyone in Germany.

Love it! The puzzle design is extremely good, almost nothing feels finnicky or overly complicated. The story got me good and I enjoy thinking about the specific themes it goes into. I’m only sad that apparently I wasn’t sufficiently convincing for ma boi Yakut.

It’s funny, after your first sentence, I thought “yeah, that’s exactly the problem. Copy&paste fragile shell code for managing processes instead of standardized lifecycle management”. Then your second sentence painted that horrible mess as “less complicated”

Also it’s a world where one bardy boi singing real good has significant real life effects.

Why shouldn’t someone be so good at dodging that they can evade half of the damage an explosion does?

That’s a lot of compassion for someone whose hurt and confusion makes him wield the disproportionate amounts of power he has in a disastrous way.

I don’t think I “hate” anyone really, but in the case of fragile billionaires, I care more about the people hurt by their actions than them. First priority is to remove them from power, a distant second is to get them some help.
