That was actually never the case. The default USB mouse driver comes with the OS. And also today any modern mouse will work just fine with the default USB mouse driver in the OS.
What this abomination is is a kind of extended driver that allows the user to e.g. remap buttons on the mouse or control RGB lights. You know, anything but the actual basic functionality of the mouse.
Do you want someone to send you a cardboard box full of RAM? Then forget it. Nobody would be stupid enough to lend that much expensive hardware to someone on the internet.
Or are you asking for someone to let you run random code on their PC for a few hours? Then forget it. Nobody would be stupid enough to open "a single SSH port" to someone on the internet to run potential malware on their PC.
That's exactly what cloud platforms are there for, and if you don't like google, get any other cloud provider.
That guy is so far up his own rear, he can't even fathom that someone would be using a device in a different way than he is.
To be fair, his statement "I never see people copy-pasting by mouse" might be correct, but he probably could have left out the second half of the statement and it would still be correct.
That's a very different kind of thing. The apple ecosystem is tiny. They themselves make every single device supported by the OS. They make the only variant of the OS. They have the power to change whatever they want and everyone who wants any access to apps (or users) needs to follow apple's guidelines. They also have something close to a monopoly in certain professional use cases. So they can push whatever they want and everyone has to suck it up.
Compare that to Fedora. Fedora is just one distro in a sea of different Linux distros. They aren't even the biggest one, not by a longshot. So if they drop 32bit, that won't force Valve to move Steam to 64bit and it certainly won't push game developers to update old, unsupported games that were never meant to run on Linux at all to change anything.
Most likely, people would just move to a different distro.
The problem is deeper than the title of some random article though. The basic currency of any reporting is attention, and that's the case not only for media intended for the non-scientific public, but also for scientific papers.
At the same time, a lot of science, especially basic research, is really boring. Because basic research is per definition without a real application (yet), and pretty much any research is years if not decades away from being commercially available.
To get around this dilemma, every level of science reporting needs to be sensationalist. Every little thing needs to be a "break-through" that "will change the world", otherwise it won't get attention, and stuff that doesn't get attention won't get funding.
But sensationalism is inherently counter-scientific, because it requires the authors to make claims that the science doesn't support.
So right within the core systems of modern science is a mechanic that rewards being non-scientific while punishing researchers that stick to dry science.
And that's a real problem because it means that a large portion (estimates are at ~30%) of scientific papers are just bogus, and an even larger portion (my cynical estimate is ~90%) of what makes it into non-scientific media is pure sensationalist garbage.
No, but because answering this question would prove that learning a keyboard shortcut is not the same as learning how to use CLI, config files and debugging.
Everytime I try to sign it with digital signing it tells me that there was an error in the authentication process even though the digital signing provider says everything is fine...
Depends. If you have a 32bit CPU, app support is surprisingly much worse on Linux than on Windows. While the kernel and core systems still support 32bit, there are a ton of apps that are only offered for 64bit Linux while 32bit Windows support is still available.
That's what happens if you only have access to a handful of brain cells.
