xz comes standard with every Linux distribution, and it implements the same 7zip compression algorithm but with more options.

Written in hand-optimized assembly with individual implementation for every CPU on the planet, with integer division function in 10000 lines of code impelented with XOR and bit-shifting which is somehow 0.3% faster than CPU built-in division operation.

I’ve recently used Codeberg. It’s online about two hours per day.

Just poweroff is fine. Why lose extra 2.5 seconds typing two words when one word will suffice?

In a sane and healthy software company, they would contribute their changes back to BSD just because it makes easier to apply latest BSD changes amd security fixes.

Most companies wont. They fork, modify the BSD code for their specific hardware, sell it, and never ever update thier software.

256 GB SD card already costs like a new phone.

TreeView is designed as an afterthought. Some manager at MICROS~1 was like ‘ah yes we need an expanding nested list widget by tomorrow’ and they mutilated text edit box to draw text lines that expand when you click them. It does not have keyboad focus. It can only be operated with a mouse. It does not have shadow or raised widget borders. It has black text on white background, while every other widget has Windows Gray background.

The proper UI would be a separate button for each label, like multiple hierarchical combo boxes.

More like garbage dispenser.

Pro C++ coders don’t use delete, they call abort()

It does run many Windows applications using Wine, although not all of them.

If there was a viable Windows Lite

But there is, and it’s called Linux Mint.

Rest of your lake, rest of your salt, it’s all down below.

How did this happen? We need to rename the place immediately!

Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it’s a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it’s rotating.

That corner cutout is grossly exagerrated. In the actual floppy disk (which is also not floppy anymore) the cutout is tiny.

When you get into electrochemistry, the answer becomes complicated. Positively charged molecules move too, and in semiconductors there’s such thing as a ‘hole’ - an absence of electron in a densely packed electron field - which carries charge as if it were a real particle.

I have a waist-high CD rack with music and games that’s collecting dust for 15 years. If I finally throw it away, and someone picks it up from a garbage bin, will I become a pirate too?

Google was already doing that for years. Most of Firefox users use it because it’s leaner than Chrome and supports adblockers. None of these advantages will suddenly disappear, but Chrome will inevitably become worse all by itself, and more users will migrate away from it to Firefox.

So Firefox strategy should be to simply not screw up by adding unnecessary stuff like AI.
