ahbyb··on How to make Linux run fast again on Intel CPUs
In all my computing life every time I've bought something from AMD (be it a CPU or a GPU) I've regretted it. It's going to take me some time to get over that.

The amount of CO2 in their offices is the first thing I look at when I'm picking a new ISP.
ahbyb··on Apple's list of 235 apps that are incompatible with macOS Catalina
>Not having to worry about yet another security vulnerability caused by 10 year old code does impact me.

10 year old code is insecure as opposed to the just-written code that replaces it?

You can't destroy what never existed.

Any good websites to try this on?
ahbyb··on A uBlock Origin update was rejected from the Chrome Web Store
I feel exactly the same when I read people saying that Firefox is faster than Chrome. It's been exactly the opposite for me and for everybody else I know on all kinds of computers and mobile phones.

This happens to iOS: every time there's a new major version coming, the layout of many apps breaks for some reason and elements move all over the place. I wonder why.

>I appreciate the effort you've been making to inch a bit closer toward the intended use of the site. I hope it isn't too annoying if I say so.

Absolutely not, and I appreciate what you do. It's very uncommon to see someone with the necessary set of skills to effectively maintain a community and put up with people like me. That also includes calmly explaining over and over again the decisions that have to be taken to moderate this site without falling for the "I'm doing this because this is the way it is/because I want to" argument.

I was the author of that message and I removed it myself (it was a troll reply that got flagged).

Removed posts appear as [removed] only if they have children (and, I believe, only mods can remove posts that have children). A post with no children that is removed by its author or a mod simply vanishes.

>If Hong Kong becomes a Palestine-style cause celebre it will be bad for China.

Will it? Because nobody gives a fuck about Palestine, and Israel is not suffering much (or at all) because of what they did and do.

I see the list of "backward incompatibilities" is huge. Does this distro require a lot of maintenance compared to, say, Gentoo stable?
