4,375,000,000 of the 3 1/2" disks. Sierra would be proud.

Bankrupt and the founder and ceo is the new owner after buying it in the bankruptcy auction.

It’s also the speed of news now. When you had a edition a day in print there was time to do research.

Now with instant publishing on the web it’s more important to get the basic story out fast. With the hope it’s the one that sites like reddit pickup.

Linux isn’t going to help much when the applications are using a lot ram. Firefox is an absolute ram hog linux or windows. Linux is just going to use less of the ram for it self.

But you can’t remove pocket from firefox just disable it. Given that it wa also a close source binary blob that made firefox not completely open source I’m glad it’s going.

Who could forget truly an inventionbefore it’s time.

Thanks but it’s not so much difficult as I’ve learned I dislike a rolling release. Feels to much like being at work in a production environment.

I think NixOS is going to give me the stability where I want it and the cutting edge where I need it. Being able to roll back changes to the OS sounds great. In theory anyway I’ll see how it goes in practice.

Good news is I should be able to get it like I want on a flash drive and them just port the config to my SSD when I’m ready to nuke Arch.

If you can I’d stick with Mint. I updated my hardware recently and need kernel 6.14 or newer. I’ve not been happy with Arch and miss Mint.

I’m thinking of giving NixOS a try as it also supports 6.14.

Probably their in house sysadmin drew it.

Great expression.

I’m going to agree with a lot of the other posters and say QT with QT creator. It’s a tested and well though out implementation. It’s signals and slots event system is straight forward and easy to learn.

Whatever route you take learn Model View Controller (MVC). It gets in the mindset of keeping your data model seprate from things that use the data and things that change the data.

To be fair a lot of human translators don’t bother to be accurate or capture wordplay. Some of the translations for netflix are so bad.

The constant changes were what made me decide it was a bad game. One of the reasons I bought it was the different FTL types. Between that the consent planet management changes I couldn’t enjoy the game. add the stupid war score system and I’ve learned to stay away from Paradox.

Even as a technical user it’s just nice to have a descent mod manager.

I can download and extract the mod but checking them all to see if they have updates or what dependencies they have is a pain.

Then later when I want to change mods what does modClothingTex do? Is it required for a mod I like or is it something I tested and didn’t like. A manager can make that so much better.

Redhawk the coked out shop kid you normally want nothing to do with but will also give you a ride to another town at 3 am.

It runs fine on Linux Mint Debian under proton for me.

Pocket. A closed source binary blob in a “open source” project.

Locking down extensions.

Cutting 250 jobs while raising executive pay 400%.

In 2021 the CEO made 5.5 million. They got about 7 million in donations that year.

80% of their revenue is from google. But google encourages them to waste the money on stuff not related to the browser because it’s competition to chrome. Their job us to look like a viable competitor but not be good one.

The browser is constantly getting worse on performance, user experience, and customizability.

They have gone from 34% user share to 2.2%. So clearly I’m not alone in my opinion of the current state of the browser.

There are two main inverter approaches. One big inverter that takes the DC from a bunch of panels and converts it into AC and micro inverters where each panel gets it’s own small one placed directly under the panel.

The micro inverters cost around $150 each. So you need around 10 panels before the single inverter becomes a good choice.

Installers love the micro because the install is easier. However as a owner with say 30 panels you now have 30 points of possible failure instead of the 1.

In this case the class action would be youtubers and other content creators not users of Honey.

At work a mix of red hat, fedora, centos, and red hawk. At home mint debian spin. It just works and games run great. I don’t have time to deal with the red hat crap if i’m not getting paid.
