What is this feature?

Magic Wormhole works well for this.

After decades of being a Google fanboy and using nothing but Chrome, my bf proudly told me he’d installed Brave after he got tired of his favorite websites being nothing but ads. I wouldn’t use it personally for the reasons you mention, but I think it’s a positive step for some people.

I see jobs with interview requirements like this occasionally. I don’t bother with them. I doubt I even would have spent the time writing an email, except to convey briefly that the web page didn’t work.

I don’t notice any difference in performance between x11 and Wayland, but there are some things I just haven’t been able to get working right in Wayland. Changing font DPI. Screenshots, when I want to capture a selected area and not the entire screen. Color pickers. I’ve tried several that supposedly work with Wayland, but they don’t. Screensavers. Alt-tabbing between a fullscreen game and the desktop or another window. I should mess around with it some more. I know my own distro is getting rid of x11 at some point.

Ohhh, that makes sense. I either never thought about that before, or maybe I subconsciously assumed it was a solved problem.

The topic is specifically about installing Linux, so that’s what I was considering. If a person just wants to see what it’s like, then booting into a live image still seems easier than booting into Windows first and then running Linux in a vm or some other type of software that can run one OS inside another.

I have a swap partition the size of my RAM, but I’ve never seen the system use more than maybe 4% of it. It’s more of an insurance policy than something that’s actually used on a regular basis.

There’s nothing easier than booting from a thumb drive and clicking “install”, IMO. Having to load Windows first is just adding an extra step.

Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.

Awesome.

I’ve used Sayboard and Whisper, and liked both of them. Sayboard is faster, Whisper handles punctuation better.

Exactly.

This looks so cool. The Plant Milk series is great.

They ask for way too much personal info, IMO.

Hyperthreading is insecure?

I enjoy the smell too.

That was my impression, too.

There are also plugins that connect to AI Horde or locally run models.

I used to know someone who believed it was mentally unhealthy to help other people. She believed people help others because they actually want to help themselves. So, the mentally healthy thing to do is to help yourself and not worry about other people. She said her psychologist told her all this.
