Frieza wants to know Earth’s location

I usually have those kind of things in the background while I cook or wash dishes.

I just want games focused on good old fashioned deathmatches. Just roam around the map and shoot whatever you see. No pressure on team tactics.

Playing Half Life multiplayer was so fun during the 25 year anniversary.

No, that’s any enemy of good

People who are capable of installing Linux are probably already aware of it. Most people when they buy a laptop is to have something that just works out of the box. Just open the laptop lid and it’s welcoming you with the setup process. Telling them how to install a live USB is already too much information.

Mama mia

They need the IP address to know where to forward the packet to. Hard to avoid that without VPN or TOR.

I can give some guesses on 2.

• Familiarity. Most people are familiar using Windows. Nurses aren’t necessarily tech savvy, so an unfamiliar system might threw them off.
• Maintenance. It’s easier to recruit people who know how to maintain Windows systems. Linux is tricky because it comes in so many different distributions, and any maintainer must be aware of these differences.
• UI sucks big time on Linux. It’s so much easier and reliable to just do a winform.
• Communication with other equipment. I guess some computers are talking to other medical equipment, and those equipment might only have drivers written in Windows, because that’s what most are using.
• If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Why change to Linux when Windows is doing the job?

The title is maybe a bit misleading, but I agree with the post. Everyone has encountered that type of code no one wants to work with.

It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.

I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.

X11 was originally built when computer monitors were commonly monochrome. It’s quite amazing it has lasted this long.

I remember those nights configuring compiz to perfection. It had amazing look and feel. It was a sight to behold.

Then I realized how useless it was and reverted it all to standard 2D workspaces.

Not yet. Biggest dealbreaker for me is screen sharing not working in Slack, which I need for work. Once that’s no longer an issue I will be more inclined to make the move. Given that plasma is becoming the default choice for distros, I hope Slack devs will make this a priority.

What I look forward the most with Wayland is actual support for fractional scaling. I think fractional scaling is required for a pleasant experience when using high dpi monitors, but Slack screen sharing has higher priority for me.

Nice to see some effort in fixing some of the X11 regressions. I’m not able to make the jump to Wayland just yet.
