This is such a boomer meme

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

This sucks, but on the flip side, before Flatpak and others, if the software wasn't in the repo then we're SOL and can't install it. Asking all developers everywhere to maintain a version of their software for every single package manager and ensure support for every distro is a bit unattainable. If Linux settled on one package manager or one distro then this would be solved, but such a statement is antithetical to the abundance of choice that Linux boasts.

Would you rather not be able to update an app or not be able to install an app?

What do you mean integrate? The framework doesn't have any ports on it by default, that's kinda the point. I don't want an SD card reader, only a micro SD card reader, why should I pay for one?

You think someone should be locked up for "repeat offenses" of having sex? Is that reasonable?

Linux Mint with XFCE is what I'd go with

I'm curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

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?

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.

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.

This website is pretty cool. It's a shader algorithm with the goal of rendering an image pixel by pixel, but it relies entirely on human calculation, with no computers and no calculators. Claim a pixel, and follow the instructions to calculate the Red Green and Blue values of the pixel you have claimed.

All of the pixels have currently been claimed, but they do expire after a while, so just wait around a bit and you might be able to contribute!
