Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account in ~tech
adutchman Link ParentOh yes, I fully agree there. And I think that the Linux world is waking up to that now, in the KDE side of things there's people like Nate Graham doing great work on that front. What I was more...Oh yes, I fully agree there. And I think that the Linux world is waking up to that now, in the KDE side of things there's people like Nate Graham doing great work on that front. What I was more trying to get at, is that this elitism about "hard/real" Linux distros vs "easy" Linux distros is nonsense. I fully agree that some distros have a better OOTB experience for non-power users/people that are new to Linux which we need more of. It's just that a "beginner distro" is not somehow fundamentally less powerfull.

Linux Mint and something like Arch don't differ much under the hood and when you boil it down, and anything you can do on Arch you can do on Mint. I mean, Linus Torvalds uses Fedora to develop the Linux kernel.

I bought it on a whim in a bookshop and I'm glad I did: character development is really good and the storytelling is very rich.I'm currently reading through the Liveship Trader series.

The services which you would like to obey it, use it as a way to fingerprint your browser, and since barely anybody enables the setting, it ironically makes your fingerprint a lot more unique. It also turns out most browsers are phasing it out.

The cross-platform support is probably as good as electron now (maybe a bit less mature bit I'm not sure), so that's not a problem.

Once I let go of those expectations I felt a lot more free.
I am lucky to have some people I can talk about this subject with, but you find out quickly that many men are on some level anxious about their masculinity.
Indeed, the creator of HTMX has written an essay on that, he calls it "locality of concerns": the idea of keeping concerns in the same place so it's easier to reason about a unit (or component) of code . That's why HTMX is nice to use with things like Tailwind and AlpineJS.
