  • This is largely a layperson's opinion, but I don't think there would be much of a difference. The thing is that perfect vision rarely happens, not just because of bad eyes, but because sunlight might be hitting your screen or you're reading at a weird angle or contrast is bad etc..
    And even if the pixels were beamed straight to your retina, your brain is still a pattern matching machine. If it's easier to discern individual letters, it becomes quicker to select each word correctly.

    Having said that, if there were a font that's objectively the most readable, we probably wouldn't have a gazillion different fonts. Some folks here have said that they find this font distracting, for example. So, yeah, you kind of have to decide on your own, what works best for you.

  • I'm actually aware of the difference, but would also argue that this difference isn't that big. If you have to bypass security mechanisms to be able to use hardware as you please, that doesn't sound to me like you actually own it.

  • Yeah, not sure, Pokemon fans would be as excited, once they're there. They could have basically their universe, if they just organize a dogfighting league and they don't do that.

    ...I hope.

  • GIMP is generally geared towards photo-editing, so if you have an existing image, you can use GIMP quite well to e.g. cut out parts of it or to apply effects.
    It's not really geared towards digital painting or creating new images from scratch, like Krita and presumably IbisPaint are.

  • Well, I can throw in another for free:

    distroKatekwrite
    openSUSEtruefalse

    But yeah, interesting list. These days, KWrite is basically just Kate with different configuration, if I understand correctly, so it always feels like you might as well go with Kate. In my opinion, KWrite is also not particularly easier to use, since basic editing works the same, but I guess, that can be disagreed on.

    I do like that Kate is pre-installed. Imagine Windows, but rather than notepad.exe, you get Notepad++ out of the box. Now imagine that to also be a whole lot better and then that's what it feels like to have Kate on fresh installations.
    You can just start coding something right away, without it being necessary to install a different editor.

  • Potentially both, but you don't really have to ask to be hacked. Just put something into the public internet and automated scanning tools will start checking your service for popular vulnerabilities.

  • Honey bees also actively take pollen back to their hive, meaning relatively little of it is spread to other flowers. They're also often involved in pollen theft, where they take pollen, but don't spread it appropriately at all.

  • Those are classifications made by humans. Nature doesn't have a concept for sexes and even less so for syndromes. If it became evolutionarily advantageous to have a dick and a vagina, nature would be onto that.

  • Yeah, we're not arguing against landfills as a general concept. But they're still basically the least bad solution, when all the good solutions don't apply or got ignored.

    Not producing that garbage in the first place is the big one. Most products in supermarkets are wrapped in trash, even though lots of them could be sold in reusable containers, or at least in biodegradable or recyclable containers. But burying trash underground is assigned a lower price than sending reusable containers back to manufacturers, so that's what every company does.

  • The difference is the amount of trash and that more of it is not organic, so will not break down. A small hole in someone's garden, which largely decomposes over a few decades, is a very different thing than a mountain filled with trash that stays there for the next generations.
    For example, groundwater can get contaminated by landfills, if they're badly planned, or when an earthquake tears the ground under them apart.

  • Yeah, that's kind of the advantage and disadvantage of Markdown. It's so simple that alternative implementations can be easily created, which helps with adoption. But because those alternative implementations exist and because there is a need to add more features, those alternative implementations will see custom changes for the format, ultimately making the format less standardized.
