Interesting, the first link on Google is the 5th link on DDG for me.

nice happy to hear that. You're welcome

You can use different Map backends for the map functionality, OSM amongst them

Do you have an example or generally what kind of searches you are referring to? My experience with ddg has been "good enough" at least. The few times I don't find anything usable on ddg I ususally end up not finding anything on Google either

Have you set the localization to whatever language you are searching in? At least for German it has been working well that way IMO

I use Firefox on a Macbook as well, also with ublock.

The site is definitely slow at the moment, but enter key worked for me and on the top of the page I see the number of results that were found...

Coming from the world of tiling window managers on linux, I do not use a touchpad at all. On the Macbook I have to use it occasionally, but I still stay on the keyboard as much as possible.

So having to remap ESC to Capslock and often hitting the wrong arrow key is a much too big drawback to a bigger touchpad

Maybe according to OPs perception, the reasons destroying the middle class and upward mobility are a combination of: competition pressure centered around places with strong "second place" (Job) opportunities, decades of civic mal-planning, treating symptoms (for some) rather than root causes (for all) and regressive tax/compensation structures

But I am not sure what that actually means. And I am not a native speaker.

The only information I have on Egyptian noses is that, according to Asterix and Obelix, Cleopatra was famous for her nose.

maybe it is right now. But in my experience they usually don't keep them up to date very well

It sounds like you were really unlucky. The last time I struggled with any of the issues mentioned by you is at least 4 or 5 years in the past.

> But you are ignoring the fact that installing software on Linux is still a mess of resolving all the dependencies and the package manager. Where in OS X, it is just a file move to App.

This is also highly dependent on specific experiences. I haven't had any issues with conflicting dependencies on Arch linux in the past few years. And personally I appreciate a system package manager for all software instead of having to download applications and doing drag and drop for installation

I didn't mean just managing 2 and 3.

OSX comes with some software such as git and python2 preinstalled. However they do not usually keep that software up to date and there is no way for you to change that, which means that community package managers need to be used to install more up to date software versions in parallel to the system ones

That is how my setup works in the terminal. MPD (music player daemon) runs from the start in the background and I can start ncmpcpp in the terminal to choose a album/playlist and then I can close it again or leave it on a different workspace.

Play Pause etc. just work without the terminal. The biggest advantage in comparison most graphical players for me is that there is no startup time. If I want to play a song I can do so immediately and even without leaving the terminal I am currently working in.

There are different issues with OSX though, that colleagues of mine had, that never occur with Linux. E.g. the chore of somehow managing different software versions such as the outdated default one and a second one installed with homebrew. Almost all my colleagues struggled with setting up python 2 und 3 correctly at some point, whereas this just worked for me on Linux.

Some struggled with font rendering between a 1080p monitor and their Retina displays as well.

He probably would :)

But I just quoted the linked PDF a few comments above in the chain.

> Edgar Dijkstra: Go To Statement Considered Harmful

No, Youtube takes a cut from the ads that are run on the videos of the creators. So they are directly profitting from the content. A print shop as metaphor would work if a creator would have to pay youtube to host his video, but all further proceeds would go solely to him.

If Youtube profits directly from whatever they are hosting it is not that farfetched to say that they might also be liable for what is shown

Same for me.

Though there is a wayland version of firefox, which I plan on trying out.

I have an integrated intel card in my notebook, and an extra nvidia card that I use with proprietary driver and bumblebee.

That works great with sway

I think criticism of Amazon is still fair, criticizing Bezos personally is something different.

No that's an asshole/racist thing.

That is a ridiculous statement

Yes, I have stopped using both, the Slack app and the rocket.chat app at work since I was definitely seeing the effect of them in my RAM usage.

I don't use an application tray in my desktop, so having browser windows open for the chats is basically feature-equivalent and saves me RAM

Well they did have mishaps like the Amazon search previously

Is it just me or have these posts to the LKM become a lot more frequently? I feel like there is one every other week now and I can't really imagine that Linus cursing has increased that much in frequency.

What's the point/agenda here?

I don't get that feeling at all. The thing that stands out to me is how they are constantly mentioning something along the lines of "we discussed this with him/her on the maliing list", "they said it was okay", ... When Linus from first to last email makes it clear that he does not want any BUG() and discussion about it is moot.

Reminds me of breaking rules as a child and then justifying it by saying that a friends mother said it was okay, or asking my dad about something my mom had already forbidden...

I can see how that is frustrating from his point, when he made it clear multiple times and is basically reiterating it that whole thread, until in the one of them even thinks of a solution.

You don't have to adopt any tone to contribute, but if you can not handle a Monty Python reference maybe you shouldn't contribute.

Very cool :) On that note, I think it is great how much effort you put into making wlroots, sway and wayland accessible through your blogposts and the open development process.

While I have been busy and will be busy for a few more months I look very much forward to working through your posts and learning something about wayland and sway then :)

I am in Germany as well. Site works for me.

Have you since then used a normal standard keyboard, for example with a notebook? How did that go?
