It wasn't long ago that 5G was the new shiny thing, and I remember that the flood of ads for cell carriers were constantly saying that they had the newest 5G ultra-wideband tech or whatever. Even the vast majority of my relatives know

To be fair, it "just works" in 99% of cases, and when it doesn't, it can usually be fixed pretty easily. In the case of Linux Mint, which is exactly what I'd recommend to new users, that's either by selecting to ins

Dude, someone joined LM, stole an early design of the F-35's body, and was already back in China before they got caught. I guarantee that some random internet stranger saying public/low-value information is the rather low on the p

I'm quite a fan of self-hosting, but I can certainly acknowledge that sometimes cloud solutions are better. But it's not fair to only compare to a Synology NAS. If you're fine just running a standard Linux distro, rather th

I'm not gonna comment on the "incinerating the poor part", that's a whole debate I'm not getting into, but I can say for certain that this is what runs on the F-35. Source: my dad works on the F-35 program. Also the

It works with my sway setup [1], but only on Chromium, not Librewolf. I'm pretty sure it's just a Librewolf/FF issue, since it seems to open pop-ups in new tabs, not as windows. [1] https://git.askiiart.net/as
