Sounds like it's not so plain after all. My Android never does this.

My balls are fine on my bike.

Traffic engineers use decades-old manuals that ignore safety in favour of driver convenience. This has to change. Streets built by them are a huge public safety issue.

We should never accept crashes that result in serious injuries or deaths as if they are an inevitable force of nature or something. They're merely a predictable outcome of a badly built system.

Sorry this happened.

Use it as an opportunity to learn how to better store and edit your code (e.g. a VCS and a smart-ish editor). For me, a simple Ctrl-Z would be enough to get my code back.

You spent more than 15 minutes changing wallpaper in Plasma? I smell bs because it's really simple.

Right-click on desktop:

Pick an image from the list, or add your own images (“Add...”):

After you click “Add...”:

The last windows I used was 10, and I remember the process being very similar.

Debloating windows is not a one-time adventure, it's what you're subscribing to do every now and then.

That's the neat part, you don't.

I have to use Whatsapp, unfortunately. Are there any good alternatives to the default app on Android?

I'm worried about all the data it shares with Meta. I denied all permissions but this makes it less convenient, and the app probably still sends over the data that available without them.

 

I'm a software developer with a platform-independent stack (java / postgre / mysql / intellij / docker), I use a Linux distro. I have a workstation, but would like to be able to work away from home. Good battery life, small size, staying cool under load are the priorities; I don't need a lot of power. So I thought maybe I should try ARM?

My first idea was to get a [refurbished] MacBook Air and learn how to use MacOS, although I'd love to support something... less proprietary and more open. I've never used an ARM Linux distro or ARM laptops, and I'm not sure how good they are for my application.

What is your experience?
