Some might say that.

Excellent explanation, however, technically it does not constitute an “odd spot.” Rather, it represents a “100% acceptable and evident position” as it brings benefits to all stakeholders, from accounting to the CEO. Moreover, it is noteworthy that investing in services or leasing arrangements increases expenditure, resulting in reduced tax liabilities due to lower reported profits. Compounding this, the prevailing high turnover rate among CEOs diminishes incentives for making significant long-term investments.

In certain instances, there is also plain corruption. This occurs when a supplier offering services such as computer and server leasing or software, as well as company car rentals, is owned by a friend or family member of a C-level executive.

With great power…

TCB13 , 2 months ago to linux in text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?

You will never get the same font rendering on Linux as on Windows as Windows font rendering (ClearType) is very strange, complicated and covered by patents.

Font rendering is also kind of a subjective thing. To anyone who is used macOS, windows font rendering looks wrong as well. Apple’s font rendering renders fonts much closer to how they would look printed out. Windows tries to increase readability by reducing blurriness and aligning everything perfectly with pixels, but it does this at the expense of accuracy.

Linux’s font rendering tends to be a bit behind, but is likely to be more similar to macOS than to Windows rendering as time goes forward. The fonts themselves are often made available by Microsoft for using on different systems, it’s just the rendering that is different.

For me, on my screens just by installing Segoe UI and tweaking the hinting / antialiasing under GNOME settings makes it really close to what Windows delivers. The default Ubuntu font, Cantarell and Sans don’t seem to be very good fonts for a great rendering experience.

but never really thought to use it in my home network

Because you don’t need it. OPNsense and pfSense may make sense in some cases however you’re running a small network and you most likely don’t require those. OpenWRT will provide you with a much cleaner open-source experience and also allow for all the customization you would like. Another great advantage of OpenWRT you’ve the ability to install 3rd party stuff in your router, you may even use qemu to virtualize stuff like your Pi-Hole on it or simply run docker containers.

They improved it? You can’t even add a bullet list. No way to have a full screen typing experience. It’s slow like no other and basic formatting tools are already hidden. Is that what you call improvements?

The point is that every single feature they try to add to it ends up as yet another buggy thing that never gets fixed. They should focus on making the core things works decently instead of adding new features. After all this time they didn’t get the sync to be as reliable as Syncthing, why would they venture into webmail’s and whatnot ?

Yes, it is very good. It’s great to use perpetually half made software.

Well… Poettering will eventually work his way up to browser engines and then we’ll get something efficient… Here’s the announcement:

"There’s a new component in systemd, called “engined”. Or actually, it’s not a new component, it’s actually the long existing “WebKit” engine now done properly. The engine is also a lot more fun to use than “WebKit” or “Blink” because you can finally have hundreds of tabs open in your browser without running out of RAM.

Coming soon in Coming for systemd 981.

Yes, it looks a lot like artificial stock limitations to drive prices up.

With Amazon if you have prime shipping or next day delivery (whatever they call it) enabled

I don’t have those…

Hard drive stocks are currently a mess. I don’t get it, even Amazon has low stocks on everything be it small or large drives.

Local supplier increased prices to ridiculous values and still doesn’t have the numbers. Anyone knows what’s going on?

+1 here, intel on laptop.

TCB13 , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to linux in Is anyone using VMware under a Wayland host?

I’ve a very bad experience with GNOME boxes, both VMware and VirtualBox seem to outperform the thing and work better (drag and drop and resolution scaling, actual GPU acceleration).

TCB13 , 2 months ago to linux in Updates from the GNOME (Foundation) board

And right now millions of people do and I don’t see widespread issues.

It’s not a widespread issue, it’s something with the desktop icon extensions and the original implementation. In both cases the drag and drop from/to apps never worked fine.
