That’d be trademark, not copyright.

Doubt it, they were more likely using md5sum files in 1999.

Not sure why the scare quotes around IDF.

Helps if you spell February correctly.

You’re the one who brought up the origin of the term, why would you do that if you’re wanting to refer to the contemporary meaning?

Sometimes it makes a network connection work temporarily.

I find them okay, but I am much more concerned with consistent fonts than with a variety of decorative fonts.

The default fonts feel very old-fashioned though.

Moving this to a top-level comment.

Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.

Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.

I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

Edit: thinking a little further, my other go-tos are Overleaf or Typst. Those do require that you be okay with a non-wysiwyg editor of course, but they are excellent.

As long as you’re okay with an interface that slavishly clones the terrible MS-Word ribbon bar.

System76 sells desktops too. Not sure about Tuxedo.

I think they mean “smart” as in “smart tv” i.e. spyware (at best)

Obvious answer: “people who game on Linux and ‘need’ 240Hz”

Probably not that relevant when not gaming, just as on Windows.

No. As you get older your social life will change and reboot as you find new friends and interests and move apart from the old ones.

The only constant is change.

It’s fine from when I’m standing (using Voyager). What client are you using?

Wouldn’t a giant slider be just a burger?

The thing is I have yet to see any reasonable alternatives.

Threema is the closest but it’s not free-of-charge, so a non-starter for most of my friends.

The others are controlled by Russia (telegram) or Meta. What else even is viable?

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

The only advantage I see is that it actually seems to keep a better handle on the status of the process/service. The old-style unit scripts would often get out of sync and not realize that a process had died, or if they did they would repeatedly respawn a service that would just die again. Maybe that was less of a problem in later years than I experienced earlier, but it was there.

The whole init.d system felt very ad-hoc with every script working a little bit differently, giving different output styles, etc.

I mean the TLDR covers it pretty well. It’s only like 3 steps. YMMV but use what you’re comfortable with. Linux will be here waiting if you ever decide to dip your toes in (or take the plunge)

TL;DR

You need to

• Install d3dcompiler_47

• Install vcrun2022

• Adjust the Steam launch option to be: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" %command%
