It's a nightmare to search for anything about GUID Partition Tables (GPT) now.

I'd love yearly Debian releases instead of just every 2 years.

In exchange, FF uses Google search by default. So they're also getting direct value from the deal.

Assuming this story is true, Linux is going to be a nightmare for that woman. It’s come a long way, but it’s still not as dead simple as it needs to be for non-technical elderly people.

 

My main server is named Postulate (an idea that you assume for the sake of argument), my desktop is named Axiom (a proved postulate), and my backup server is named Corollary (an idea that follows from an axiom).

What are your computers named, and why?

If it becomes a big enough problem, other instances can de-federate with problematic instances. I don't like de-federation, but I also don't like disabling downvotes.

Users who can't handle downvotes on their own instance clearly can't be trusted with downvotes elsewhere.

Sure, he could be using some Linux flavor, but what would he gain?

A whole lot more privacy. Although that's unfortunately not worth it for a lot of normies.

Kernel upgrades are very... Painful.

 

I like to read/interact with posts directly from the homepage rather than opening all of them in new tabs, but they keep moving down the page as new posts pop up.

Is there a way to disable that behaviour?
