Unless said tolerance and empathy is directed towards PR propoganda.

I don’t get either of those contexts.

When I read “Quakers”, I just recalled Quake III Arena and thought, “that doesn’t fit”.

YAML definitely felt less intimidating to me than XML, when I first saw them.
But the YAML examples also had much less information in them than the XML ones.
But not having to type all those brackets definitely helps. In case of XML, I am always looking to just get a GUI going for it instead, because typing it out feels cumbersome (I’m from C++)

it just had less brackets and <> symbols when they were done.

Hence making the parser more inefficient than XML?

The wheel is Open Domain and does not belong to anyone.

how many things do I have to read

Well unfortunately, when using Arch, you will, at some point end up requiring to read a lot of something.

If that makes you hesitate, but you still feel like giving it a try, I’d say one good way is, install Arch using the Arch ISO method and go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and read that once before and then, while installing.

• it is very well simplified (simplified by explanation, not by omission)
• it has handy links for terminology you will find in there, so you won’t have to go around finding stuff all the time
• open the page on another device, that you like reading on
  • read it like you are trying to understand it and not like instructions
• while reading/installing it, if you realise you can’t keep doing that, you have your answer
• if you managed to install it before getting frustrated at the Wiki, well, know that most Arch wiki pages you will look at, are as good or better than that and you can consider this as another distro you might use.

I’ve had Arch get borked, but never to an unrecoverable state.

gotta love arch-chroot for that.
No matter what went wrong or how wrong it went, if you have the time, you can find out. And pretty easily too, as long as you keep some logs.

Papaya over here. Apples would be too expensive.

I didn’t get this.

Why return book? Does that have some Blizzard reference?
And why would number == 2 ⇒ return false? This is a function for getting true when the number is even, right?

Are you sure it wasn’t just the frontend on your system that froze?

That would have been correct in the pre-domestication era.

It’s just literally an average online experience.

I am going to refute that claim as I don’t see monitors falling out of windows everyday.
And I am pretty sure people are doing “online” stuff.

Imagine having to navigate that site to buy a new monitor, without a monitor.

Just build the OSS version of java-impl with the patched version number as expected by the shitty software.

That looks like buttons in the thumbnail, on the left of the visualisation.
I’d say that’s enough to call it UI.

I would consider 2K at 27" to be the sweet spot for 1x.

“just turn it off lol”

Yeah, that’s probably just people who read the initial comments from back when secure boot keys were not user configurable (and support wasn’t available in Linux) and kept on echoing it all the way to the present.

Kinda similar to the “Linux is just secure” echoers, who might have started from some proper argument explaining what kinds of security problems don’t exist in systems developed using Linux and why they don’t require installing a 24/7 antivirus background process. Because people tend to make catchphrases. I too sometimes, forget the implications and tend to make them.

I am guilty of this too.

Despite considering that I need to setup secure boot for my laptop, I have kept it on hold for a bit too long.
But then again, considering the area I am in, I can hardly expect someone to try and steal my data or try to put a ransomware or similar thing, if it means having to get physical access for it. Much higher chance for someone to just steal and sell the thing as is.

Nope

Exactly.
Silicon is not a rare earth element.
Neither is Aluminium nor plastic nor Lithium (it’s getting rarer alright, but doesn’t fall into the category).

The amount of rare earth elements is really small in these devices.

Oh and drugs is mental health.
