The or part in that statement is really what kills you, as you sort of imply. You spend five hours almost getting your scanner to work, some times, unreliably.
That’s a worse outcome than the scanner refusing to work entirely in many cases.
This is one of the hardest earned lessons I’ve ever learned, and I’ve had to learn it over and over again. I think it’s mostly stuck now but I still make the same mistake from time to time.
As in efficient per watt or some other metric?
You can do the right thing for the wrong reasons and this is a classic case. He’s an ethno-nationalist. Ask him how he feels about Kurdish minorities or the genocide of Armenians.
Can it search email now? I tried finding an email about two weeks ago and i had to give up and search on my phone.
Sure, but this is the thing that really annoys me: my state has really good eID, it just doesn’t work with the EU stuff. It works with literally every other government service, most companies, often as physical ID, for payments, etc etc
I had the exact opposite experience! I went through a lengthy process of signing up for and activating the weird nonstandard eID that most places don’t accept over the normal one I already have and use for everything, the only one they supported, only to be told I can’t use it without manually contacting the company, have them invalidate my activation and then go into some office to get manually re-activated.

Do they even allow that kind of interoperability? I thought Discord was 100% our terrible browser application way or the highway?
Chimera Linux (not to be confused with ChimeraOS, a variant of SteamOS). It introduces itself like this:
Chimera is an independent, general-purpose, rolling-release Linux distribution developed from scratch. It utilizes a FreeBSD-based userland, musl C library and the LLVM toolchain, along with the dinit service manager. Its primary focus is correctness, consistency and simplicity, but not at the expense of feature set; its primary desktop environment is GNOME
It’s worth mentioning that it’s a Linux without GNU (though not for the sake of being that). In general I think projects like this one has a value from a ecosystem diversity perspective too, which also has become immediately apparent when Chimera Linux wasn’t hit by the two last security issues I learned about (the recent SSH regression and the xz debacle).
I’m particularly impressed with their relatively lean setup, but I haven’t had opportunity to use it yet. It’s a bit too immature for my desktop use and I’m already happy with the server I have so it makes no sense to switch.
I looked at getting a 5G router and I’m not surprised to see the whole thing not kicking off given how insanely expensive they are
No need to be that maximalist. Don’t self host email on a desktop machine you turn off.
Someone described open source as the commons of capital and I guess that’s not entirely incorrect. The availability of boring things like server operating systems, encryption libraries, etc, cheapens many commodities to the point where they are viable because people can afford them. Imagine the price of whatever IoT trinket is in vogue if the maker had to roll every software it touches from scratch.
I should have expected the rug-pull at the end when I read:
You may know me as a Bitcoin educator and engineer
However, I was still surprised!
It looks really cool!
I’ve seen so many early-development/prototype P2P projects and so few mature ones. I wonder what’s driving this!
They’re actually terrific for porn in theory because they are the only (I think?) VR glasses that can record VR video.
Unfortunately (for everyone I guess?) that’s not what Apple has in mind.
people are always calling for the ‘year of the linux desktop’ and then turn around and do backlash to try to keep things obfuscated and unfriendly to the average human
To be fair to both of these groups in my impression those are usually separate people. People definitely have different visions for what good design is here.
The thing that strikes me as bad is when Unix conservatives (for lack of a better term) actively resists features to support use in modern, bit-mapped graphics as opposed to 70’s teletype terminals etc. But that’s just a terrible position, not necessarily hypocrisy, assuming they don’t care about Linux as the kernel in a desktop operating system for people whose hobby is not configuring their computer.
It’s even worse than what you suggest.
Try finding:
These are regular requirements for office work that I’ve had trouble with.
Oh and I also routinely have trouble turning off my computer, it just freezes at a black screen. This is a stationary computer with nothing weird in it.
