Hey, I used to use that before switching to sway a few years ago. It isn't hard at all: There is not a single line in my config concerned with monitors, it just works by default.

I've seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

It doesn't necessarily need to be 4-dimensional https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

And at some point, it may just become the present, too :)

Yeah I mean you can get 95% by just saying everyone is cis, that's just not an schievement

That's only how it feels, as you only notice it at all on people where it is "obvious". And even then, people get it wrong, cis people have been harassed by transphobes often enough. Just be nice.

I also think 50ms is a bit pessimistic, but there are locations which are far off of googles datacenters (at least until they finish their Johannesburg location, south africa seems very isolated) and you're never directly connected via as-the-bird-flies fibre connections, actual path length will be longer than just drawing a line on a map.

This can all be mitigated by just building more and closer edge servers, of course, but at some point you just have a computer in your room again.

No, it seems to be in the right order of magnitude

Obviously light doesn't have to travel quite as far, but 50ms is not a bad estimation for a worst case. Also you have to add processing delays at each router, which makes everything far slower.

Well even if the user doesn't really know what they're doing, things shouldn't easily break, that's just bad.

Ah yeah nvidia can be painful, especially if you want wayland. But this seems to be a simple modesetting issue, I'm sure there are some known workarounds. You can also report driver bugs directly to nvidia, but I don't know if that will do much.

bash's autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean

Borking an entire install by pressing buttons on a monotor is pretty difficult. What exactly were you doing? Did you ask your OS' community for support?

You can also use revanced to patch your own api key into Infinity and use that instead

Based on these numbers alone, anywhere from 0 to 341 respondents could be both straight and cis

Linux by itself is just a kernel, there's a whole range of operating systems using it. Most of them have some commonalities, but there are also huge differences. Most of them can run directly from a USB stick (or in a VM obviously), so you can try some out.

Some things that basically all of them do very well, compared to windows:

• mainly open source components (+- some proprietary drivers and apps, if you want)
• no ads in the OS
• support for very old hardware, being (depending on actual OS more or less) light and resource efficient
• very good package management
• customizability

There are many things that are specific to some OSes. I switched from Windows 10 years ago, and I can't see myself going back. Everytime I have to use it somewhere, I get annoyed quickly.

There are some drawbacks:

• software has to be built against a specific kernel, and some proprietary software is not offered for linux. There are compatability layers for running windows software on linux without emulation, but they are mainly optimized for games (I've had windows-only games run faster on linux than on windows!).
• some drivers are unavailable for linux, as the device manufacturers have to cooperate somewhat. However, almost everything will work.
• some drivers are available, but require binary blobs distributed by the manufacturer. The proprierary NVidia drivers, for example, are faster than the open source reimplementation noveau, but they can cause problems with some software like sway. If you have an AMD gpu, their open source drivers are great, so no problems.

Roughly all the servers (including Microsofts own cloud), half the mobile systems, lots of the larger embedded stuff and some small percentage of deksktop systems are using Linux. Again, just try something (maybe Pop!_OS or Mint) and see if you like it.

I think the problem is that the algorithm's optimisation target is not to entertain people, but to keep them watching, which can cause you to feel bad and still click videos. In the same way other addictions work.
