FrostyPolicy , to Technology in Why do you have to install Usb-Drivers on Windows, but I never had to do it on Linux?
@FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi avatar

This didn’t seem to occur in Windows, but I’m pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it’s some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn’t account for in the more generic driver

If the device says it's a generic storage device (to the system that is) but actually isn't (based on your description) then it's 100% devices fault and not a Linux fault.

Just use some other search engine. No tricks needed to get non ai bs results.

They didn't use very comprehensive research methods. Also they only used Github.

First, from
the GHTorrent data set, we extract the email addresses of GitHub users. Second, for each
email address, we use the search engine in the Google+ social network to search for users with
that email address. Third, we parse the returned users’
‘About’ page to scrape their gender.

a bias against men exists, that is, a form of
reverse discrimination.

How is it reverse discrimination. It's still plain old discrimination. I'm starting to smell a biased research here. Or at least the researchers have a bias.

This research isn't peer reviewed so I wouldn't take it at face value just yet.

Currently EEA consists of the EU states + some other European countries.

It's good to live in the EU where such terms don't apply.

FrostyPolicy , to Linux in What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?

Removing a pattern doesn't unfortunately remove the packages it installs. Only the pattern "package" is removed.

If you taboo a pattern it and the packages it would install will never be installed automatically. I tend to taboo those games patterns.

They are the "patterns" other mentioned.
