That whole example feels like a strawman, from my (maybe limited) experience something that's rather the exception than the norm. First, lifetimes are elided in most cases. Second,…

I can vouch for purelymail ( https://purelymail.com/ ), it's simply amazing. Their only rule is basically no marketing emails. It's also quite affordable compared to others.

Yes.

It uses the shared mime database, which in turn relies on both file type and content to detect the mime.

Shameless plug: https://wire.js.org/ as an alternative focused on type safety and productivity.

> There's no consistency Just a reminder there's like 7 different context menu styles in Windows 10, not to mention two control panels.

All of these are optional, just disable and use an alternative? I use resolved and timesyncd however and they work amazing for my basic needs on the laptop.

Almost every point made here is basically false. The best performing languages are imperative (C, C++, Rust), with functional languages being at least an order of magnitude slower …

Immigration has a direct impact on the labor market. Unlimited migration would likely outpace any sort of economic growth and massively depress wages. I would not look forward to c…

Wanting to make a livable wage is not greed. Besides, unchecked migration would lead not only to seriously depressed wages but also massive social issues.

Well the privileged extension requires root, which is what I was alluding to in my post :)

Note that you can totally do all of those if you root your device. Highly recommend.

Because of "composability", even if the highly coupled functions will likely never be reused. And leaky "abstractions" that create more problems than they solve but look cooler tha…

Perhaps it's worth educating yourself on possible reasons. r/politics and HN are not the best places to do that, to put it mildly.

That's definitely true as well - some responses by poettering in systemd issues in particular are unnecessarily condescending and very unprofessional. Also, while systemd and pulse…

I think it's a small but very loud minority that hates on systemd, pulseaudio, etc. Majority of users, like me, never really comment on those two because they do their job so well …

This is practically the end of Mozilla, a sad result of horrendous mismanagement. Instead of pouring all its resources to make a superior browser and thus attract more money by hav…

That makes no sense. People might not know about WASM or Rust, but people like fast browsers. Rust is what powers Servo, which in turn made performance of Firefox somewhat acceptab…
