My record at Detroit airport from stepping out of the bus to stepping into the plane is 7m43s. What is going on at your airports?

Now that Mozilla will start selling ads what is the best Firefox alternative?

FWIW, it's the Mozilla Foundation that owns the Mozilla Corporation. It's a minor nit, but also an important distinction, as the non-profit has more control (the opposite of many "<company> foundation" structures).

$250k in capital gains has very different implications from $250k in salary.

I'd love a million dollars in gains in a year...

Heck, I'd love to have even half a million dollars of total assets.

It still does. People who like cryptocurrency are crypto bros (regardless of gender).

Yeah that's even less than what the standard is. That's just saying "you have to do what's in the conditions of your parole, and we won't accept sneaky technicalities."

But I suppose "appeals court rules that you have to obey the terms of your parole" is far less ragebaity.

I'm considering it as a second laptop option, but I have a particular niche use case: I'm a developer who writes developer tools and is currently trying to ensure we have first-class RISC-V support.

This is probably what I'll go for if I buy in the next month though: https://liliputing.com/dc-roma-laptop-ii-packs-an-octa-core-risc-v-processor-16gb-of-ram-and-ubuntu-linux/

It would, but I already have several dev boards I use in that configuration. What I'm looking for now is something I can take with me to use as a semi-daily driver so I can start reporting bugs in real world use cases.

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

The ones that came with my cheap ebike. They're fine - I've never really thought about replacing them.

Yep! Most of us are even homo sapiens!

Almost all of my branded shirts were free. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also get shirts from when family members travel. They're typically "branded" with locations rather than corporate trademarks, though.

How about the maintainers blocking a package that's included in the default repository for ideological reasons?

Some distro that uses the Ubuntu repos blocked users from even installing snapd manually without jumping through a bunch of manual hoops. It's one thing to not preinstall it, but that reeked to me of exactly the "we know better than our users" attitude they were accusing Canonical of.

The problem isn't that every gnome dev is bad - not by a long shot. The problem is that there are just enough gnome devs in just the right (wrong?) positions who have an "our way or the highway" philosophy that it causes problems not just for people trying to use GNOME, but for people (such as the Kate developers) who are trying to give their users a good experience.

And by being the default in so many distros, GNOME has enough clout that if they choose to abandon a standard, many people will change to whatever GNOME does, making their applications worse for people on other desktops.

In the end it's not too dissimilar to the problems created by the dominance of Chromium and Windows. The biggest difference IMO is that Google are actually more conciliatory towards others than the GNOME team are in many cases. Which is kinda crazy given how much Google can throw their weight around on the web.

If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story's plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...

This raises further questions, since it seems his humanoid form is a facade provided by his magic powers. Do you get him in non-corporeal form, or do you get him like that episode where he became human?

Thank you! I had looked through settings for that and hadn't been able to find it.

I'm not on the systemd hate train by any means, but I don't understand how this is any improvement over pkexec

As long as you have polkit setup to work in terminal sessions, yes. This is pretty standard these days, though not particularly widely used.

If people are frequently crossing between crosswalks, there probably aren't enough crosswalks. If they're pressing the buttons but crossing before the light changes, even if the buttons do cause the lights to change eventually they're probably set up incorrectly and make wait times too long.

It took me 18 months of back and forth with my city to get them to fix a particular light. The beg buttons technically worked, but the light is where a major street intersects with a residential street, and all the beg buttons would do initially was make the pedestrian lights turn green the next time the lights changed. Problem was, if it didn't detect a car there it would never trigger a change. What finally got it fixed was me sending the city council an 8 minute video of me waiting for the light to change before a car came along.

That's just my emergency stash. I try to keep at least two week's worth of cheese there at any time.

Depends on whether you mean physical age or mental age

That's what xwayland is.

Apps can talk to xwayland with the x11 protocol but instead of an X server rendering it, your Wayland compositor renders it.

The restrictions come from the fact that those x11 behaviours are exactly things the industry has decided are a bad idea and should be replaced.
