Thank you! Although TBH linux gaming has been usable to the extent that I probably will never have to run windows ever again..
Externalities caused by Airbnb opposers: 1. Block people's access to tourism 2. Worsen the economy by artificially cuts demand from supply 3. Hurt tourism workers including restaurants workers, etc 4. Create segregation which is partially what nativism is about 5. Hurt people who live there and love talking to travellers

If you don't want "other people" in your sight and zero nuisance, buy the entire street. Personal preference relying on inefficient resource allocation should be paid for.

I looked into this project (and related GPU pass through projects) a few years ago. Putting the discussion and even some issue tracking into a "support thread" in this forum makes getting information really difficult. It's the same experience when you want to install LinageOS and realize you have to go through a long thread on XDA and sometimes reddit to solve any issue you may have.

I find it unsettling that people make purchase recommendations solely based on the merit of the phones given purism contributed more patches to the Linux phone ecosystem.

I own a pinkebook pro and it can't survive a kernel compilation (which is quite a normal thing to do for this device because it doesn't run on mainline kernel and requires patching) without dying from the battery drainage while plugged in.
I get system76's coreboot offering looks interesting because there aren't many vendors shipping that feature. What's the appeal of their other products though?

Doesn't potentially cutting off millions of customers help with the course of decentralization though?

In pinduoduo's case there are internal memos specifying the hours.

What if the root user intentionally deleted all non-root users? GDM would just let anyone creates an user with wheel?

Jitsi works in mobile web browsers and yes it can access camera

Why do the employers get little marginal benefit selecting from a larger pool, but somehow the universities have no problem screening hundred of thousands of applications?

Oneplus is one of the most lineageos-friendly vendors out there.
I have less screen tearing in wayland/sway compared to X11/compton FWIW. Also everything being newer means configuration is easier to understand. In X11 there are too many tool combinations and it often requires googling and fiddling to change any configuration.

California proved that $100B won't even build you a high speed rail between SF and LA. The cost of convincing people to change their mind, is still cost.
I think they upstreamed patches to gnome and wlroots

You may find guile easier to read (I don't). In terms of packages and features it's way less useful than nixpkgs.
Should the US also ban foreign TV shows, music, books originated from totalitarian states? Because the producers are subject to the will of their governments and might be compelled into spreading propaganda although it has not happen?

I personally believe that freedom will prevail and this kind of race to the bottom towards censorship and executive branch unilateralism is sad.

Is there any precedence where the executive branch just ban a foreign company without citing the violation of law and going through court or WTO, in the last century?

Maybe higher property tax would work then? You need more revenue for UBI anyway.
