I did watch -n 1 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' to try and get around it. I think it's working, because boy is it noisy lol

Don't let startup cash kill your idea before you give it a chance. Creative people can test an idea for next to nothing.

I have Haiku as sole OS on a Thinkpad, not my primary machine but some days I'll work the whole day on it no problem - it's a really enjoyable experience in fact.
I'm sure all three users revolted.

The same can be said for starting a business in the first place.

A business is "wise" to keep its humanity and treat other people with respect.

I don't know exactly why, but the indignity of this story really gets to me.

Does having a desk at a big tech company really strip your humanity to the point where you're OK sending messages like these to another person?

How do you treat other human beings with so little respect?

"Whether you like it or not" isn't the legal part, it's the result.

I have Arch with Gnome on the 4K HP Spectre x360 13 inch, and everything basically just works. Even mixed-DPI with a standard HD monitor.

Yeah I've been using DuckDuckGo exclusively.

Google hasn't been my default search engine for 6+ months. In fact the only Google things I use frequently are Android and Chromium (through Opera).

I feel better about my internet usage, and I've been having a much better experience.
