Being able to see bug reports is not required to use the software. You’ve made the decision to block Cloudflare, so now you face the consequences of not being able to access certain websites. Expecting free software developers to ensure that every single part of the experience is seamless for users who decide to block certain services is not reasonable.
No way y’all didn’t stretch out his face

When did he do that?
I’ve known Alyaza for about 6 years now, she deserves all the help she can get right now. They’re an intelligent person in a bad situation, and I want to see them succeed.
How is getting more performance out of a CPU greedy? Is making a better product that people want greedy? Stagnation is lazy, and making CPUs faster is better for the consumer. So is AMD putting pressure on Intel by releasing faster and faster CPUs. This is a large part of why we have such powerful computers now that shape our modern world.
What “hack” are you talking about that they implemented in Zen 3? Speculative Execution has been around for years, and speculative execution vulnerabilities have been happening ever since. Thankfully, the fix is available and not incredibly difficult to implement, which seems to be the case for most of these bugs. Why should we sacrifice speed for the potential that maybe we implement a bug that can be fixed with a BIOS upgrade?
That’s a very valid opinion. I started out with Kubuntu, and after a bit of distro hopping I’m on Pop!_OS now for my laptop and desktop. I love it, but I doubt I would’ve at the start of my journey
Some bots are cool, some are annoying. How about the community gets to vote to add certain bots. Many such options have been brought up already.
My pixel expired after I finished it unfortunately. I wish I contributed, it would be cool to make something a little bigger.
It’s a fun thing to commit 10 minutes to, kinda satisfying too. It’s fun to try to do a job that we normally expect computers to do, and it’s cool to work collaboratively towards something bigger than yourself.
Pop!_OS. It just works, it’s easy, and it makes me enjoy using my computer.
Copyright and patents: 10-20 years maximum, depending on the industry. Trademarks should be forever, because that kinda defeats the point of a trademark if it expires.
Let me give an example I understand personally: Rubik’s cubes. Rubik’s cubes were invented by Ernő Rubik, and gained widespread popularity in the early 80s. In 1982 there was a speed solving competition, where Minh Thai got the world record fastest solve at 22.95 seconds. After this, the “craze” died out and it lost much popularity. Ideal Toy Corp sold the puzzle and retained a patent on it until 2000, after which was the second cubing craze. Sales doubled between 2001 and 2003, and the speed solving competitions came back. This time, however, solvers were not buying the stiff, clunky, catchy, sandy “Rubik’s Cubes”, they were at first appearing to be buying Chinese “knock-offs”, brands which quickly developed recognition and brand loyalty among speed solvers. They were designed for speed, they had looser springs, less plastic, but “torpedoes” to keep them in place under other pieces, and cut out corners to allow imprecise movement. You can buy a better cube than the Rubik’s Cube for less money than a Rubik’s Cube. You can buy 10 speed cubes for the price of one Rubik’s Brand speed cube, their failed attempt at capitalizing on the market. Rubik’s Brand has spent the entire time up until very recently not interacting with the rest of the community, trying to sue companies out of selling their products.
Was going to send someone at work an interesting article which was linked from Reddit but the subreddit was shutdown. I hate that reddit is doing this, and I hope more subs shut down permanently for protest so that reddit can’t just “wait it out”, but man is it inconvenient as hell.
This is such a boomer meme
