it’s a good beginner distro because getting thrown into deep water is how one learns to swim
That's... not how it works, for distros or for actual swimming. Usually when someone who can't swim is thrown into deep water, they drown and/or reinstall Windows which is much the same thing.
With that song you need to link a version with lyrics, because the place names need to be seen to be believed
It's school IT, so it was probably a teacher who 'knows computers' and not anyone with IT training.
Isn't this the guy who got called out for trying to use social media brigading to force Linux kernel rust patches through? There's a good chance those stalkers are fictional.
For games that aren't fast moving, you don't need 240fps in the first place.
I played an MMO at 40 FPS for years. With a freesync screen that matches the frame rate instead of stuttering or tearing, it still feels fine.
The benchmarks are against vanilla Wine. A lot of people are using the fsync patches, so ntsync is more about accuracy - things that didn't work under fsync should work under ntsync.
Instead of choosing between accuracy and performance hacks, ntsync should do it properly.
IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.
is it always running, looking for barcodes in all the photos you take?
Has Google's camera app added that yet? If not it's only a matter of time.
When my phone's barcode reader app sees a web link, it fetches the page's title to display next to the actual link. So it is going to that web server and fetching resources by itself. Even though it isn't actually rendering the page and running javascript, it might be exploitable.
All humans are apes, those people more so than most.
