Not affiliated and haven’t used it, but its tagline of “Desktop Independent Power Manager” seems like it fits the bill.

I want to love Julia so much, but it’s always something. The funky handling of scope in the REPL was the latest off-putting thing for me, but maybe I should give it a try again…
…let me get this straight, you’re divorcing Minnie because she’s very silly?
Shut the fuck up, Alexander! You’re out of your element.
Debian got me through grad school.
Not the latest and greatest (if you run stable), but if you need the latest e.g. Julia, it’s not too bad to compile it.
RHEL would like a word ;)
“popularity contest” is an opt-in on Debian. It’s not malicious, and it’s not for financial gain, but it is in a loose sense spying.
Toss up between VOY and DS9 for me (VOY catchier but a little more saccharin). TNG just a bit too…exuberant.
VOY fun to really ham it up on the piano though.
Parent said “one of,” not “the very first.” Wikipedia has US with 4 out of the first 10 metro stations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems
Interesting to note is that some (all?) of those early metro systems are arguably more successful than the subsequent US systems.
I think the 1st-party device support is a little trickier on Linux than on Windows, which IMHO hampers the widespread adoption of Linux on the desktop.
The reason it’s trickier is that the Linux kernel has no stable API or ABI — which is ultimately a good thing ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst ), but for closed source drivers presents a problem.
Dynaco ST-70 stereo tube amp, probably from the 60s (no date on them that I can tell).
Very proud of it, got it for free at a garage sale. Replaced selenium rectifier with silicon diodes, a few new caps, and new tubes. Sounds great.
Credit cards, for instance, are not required but extremely useful. For instance, my recollection is that when booking hotels or rental cars with a debit card they will put a hold on your account for collateral. This could be a problem if you’re living paycheck to paycheck. If you have a credit card, you may get a hold as well — but this is just reducing the amount of available credit. Functionally this is the same, if you have enough money, but if you’re living on the edge and your rent money is in your checking account, this is pretty unfortunate in the case if a debit card.
Additionally, credit cards offer consumer protections, including chargebacks. My understanding is that debit charges are much more difficult to dispute.
And, in the US, for many people not in urban centers, owning a car is essential for life/work. Quick Google search claims, in relation to savings, “The median balance for American households is $5,300.” So if your car bites the dust, buying a new (used) car may not be possible without a loan.
You’re right though, it’s certainly not literally required.
Given the effect it has on credit score, it will perhaps be more difficult to accumulate debt — it will be harder to take out large credit card, mortgage, or other loans. Probably not applicable to medical and whatnot.
In theory I think it makes sense: loans should be a privilege not a right, or something like that. But in reality, loans are essentially required for modern life, at least in the US. So the people who can least afford it end up with loans with ridiculous interest rates (even if the total loan amount is smaller than it would be pre-bankruptcy).
I am fortunate enough to be able to pay off my credit card every month, so the interest rate doesn’t really matter. It’s a great, but dystopian, example of positive feedback: those who can afford pay less (no interest), and those who can’t afford pay more (interest).
On my Mac running yabai it sometimes gets into this weird state where the mouse does this as it toggles rapidly back and forth between some windows. No idea what causes it…
On Linux I run i3 which kinda negates the need for the mouse finder since it will move the cursor to the active window.
I guess I didn’t remotely answer you question though!
Lot of folks here making the “nothing to hide? Great show me your browsing history” type arguments.
I think this isn’t really arguing in good faith. There’s a big difference between a personal friend knowing something about you, and a faceless algorithm knowing something about you. The two cases are different; it’s fair to argue about how one is better or worse, but they are different.
I’m sorry, but you’re just wrong here:
She had the face of an angel Smiling with sin A body of Venus with arms
That…that is poetry.
Voyager isn’t smaller than NCC-1701-D — it was in the pool!
But isn’t it the legs moving backwards that propels you forwards? 🤔
Do you have a bulk food store nearby? We have one where you can BYO containers, tare and label them, and then fill them up at the store. Bulk food with no bags or single-use containers, it’s great.
