Unfortunately, GTK is much prettier than QT.

A class of 200 students performing much worse than the last class is very unlikely. 200 Students is enough to make even small differences statistically significant.

A single test being much harder than the last test is much more likely, since it isn't an averahe of 200, it's a single datapoint.

That's why if this semester's class performed much worse than last semester's, you can assume it's because of the test, not the students.

Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn't? I wonder what privacy means to OOP

Which China is already working on and are as far as test flights.

Of course the US and China both have some kinds of stealthy fighter jets. That does't mean that China has what the US has (or will have).

Or does "next-generation" have a specific meaning, other than "better"?

I was working with Argon2 hashes, so it was the first thing to come to mind.

Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I'm just lucky.

If being ready means "runs Windows applications" to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

Like, what a metric lol

Next you're gonna tell me MacOS isn't ready either, because you can't play many Windows games on it as well

Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn't even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

Windows 11 doesn't even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app's file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It's not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

It would be great if politicians could all be philosophers writing political theory.

But that's not what gets the votes. In a democracy, the most important skill of a politicians is being able to sell their ideas.

There's a reason populism is popular. Because people don't read theory, people read posts on X.
