Why do most US lawsuits settle instead of going to trial?

Linux taught me self-confidence
I have never considered myself to be tech-savvy. However, there is a running gag in my immediate family where I claim to be terrible with computers (eg. “I dont think i could find that, my google-fu is weak”) which my family responds to by reminding me of that one time I did that one cool thing (eg. reminding me about I...
Why don't more distributions have something like the AUR when it's the main reason why so many people use Arch Linux?
Hippos can run and swim around 20-30 miles an hour. If you wanted to beat one in a triathlon, you'd need to be really prepared for the biking portion.
What's wrong with using a browser to view Lemmy? Seems like a lot of posts are about best apps for Lemmy. Am I missing out on something by not using an app?

How do y'all deal with sleep states on modern laptops?
Most very recent laptops no longer support S3 sleep which used to be the default for a long time. On my old laptop it allowed me to just close the lid in the evening and open it again in the morning, and it would only loose a negligible amount of charge during that time....
