Yeah, I haven't yet taken a serious look into it from that perspective yet, but similar came to mind; while, outside of bootstrapping the JDK from GCJ, Boehm GC hasn't been super r…

Nothing stopping you from using one with totally modern systems as well, except for the ever increasing prices, I guess. Anyway, yeah, same as some of the others already mentioned,…

Do you happen to have any examples, if you're allowed to share and comfortable doing so? Always found differences in teaching styles and curriculum interesting as is, but I am curi…

I mean, I agree that you should be able to avoid things like Netflix and make use of libraries and other archives, but that's sort of the point; there is a ton of media that never …

Sure, Netflix may not be as important as, say, housing, food, or whatever else, but I think there is something to be said about the cultural importance of [at the very least some] …

Personally, it is one of the flags, yeah. It's been a while since I've tried ChatGPT or some of the others, but the structure and particular usage felt a lot like what I'd have got…

Early into high school, I needed something to take to class, but since I already had a decent desktop at home, plus we were broke, I picked up some cheap Asus K55N; AMD A8-4500M, 4…

Oops, realized too late that I deleted a sentence by accident; I gave the GPU to my younger brother.

I feel that. It's difficult to justify any new hardware until I'm in a better place; while it'd be nice, I'm not suffering enough to /need/ a new system. Until the beginning of 202…

There is something beautiful about how U.S. news outlets were always going on about how Russia is a dictatorship, with rigged elections, where you'll be beaten, arrested or killed …

I did already write my own comment trying to ask about the goals and state of Anvil when compared to Acme. That said, RE: "Emacs/Vim on one end and VS Code on the other" and "... y…

While looking into Acme several months back, I actually bumped into this; there just don't seem to be many editors that draw inspiration from Acme's workflow rather than borrowing …

> Bear in mind that "invasive tracking" is also used for protection of the vulnerable. If we're going to go down the "think of the children" path, I'd argue invasive tracking is us…

I was right about to go to another site and had to do a double-take when my eyes caught the title; I hadn't thought about her in YEARS. I hope it's boxxy on purpose.

I don't reject HTML email, but I always have my client set to read plaintext. 99% of the time, the worst thing that occurs is simply some garbled hyperlinks for a verification emai…

Tangent, but out of curiosity, what was the more important goal in your mind/whoever else was involved? The ability to relink with newer/patched libraries, or simply the ability to…

You could still do mostly non-harmful no-JS PoW captchas by making some sort of FOSS external generator executable. Of course, this would be annoying to an extent, require mult-tas…

It's been mostly fine for me as well, but that has only been the case because of things like Xwayland; there are a large number of styles of program that are either really difficul…

As noted by other commenters, there are several compositors available for Wayland (essentially the bit that actually implements Wayland). Some are developed independently of any pa…

It's not usually hard to do, no, but it is >130K of C alone, excluding whitespace, comments, tests, examples, etc. I don't want it on my system from a security perspective alone. A…
