I usually have Nutella in my Nutella jars, but you do you.

Depends on how much RAM you intend to use, and how much you need. For normal web browsing, I think probably enough swap space to make your total RAM + Swap amount up to 24GiB should do. If you have more than that and don’t run anything memory intensive, you can probably get away without any swap at all.

If you want the ability to hibernate though, you need at least the same amount of swap as physical RAM (since Linux will use the swap space as the location to “hibernate to”.

I think for an SSD it makes sense to use a swap file rather than a swap partition, since random access is basically free and you can resize it easily. That’s a minor thing though.

How much memory do you have? How much storage do you have? What will this computer be used for? Do you want to be able to hibernate?

Seems useful for their VR headset. Probably so you don’t have to hop into VR to trigger downloads.

I like how you haven’t actually presented those statistics yet.

Reading the ragebait script out of order? :P

Interesting you bring up blackjack because there are absolutely people out there who, through skill, can flip the odds and make a profit (i.e. card counting).

People aren’t automatons and don’t rigidly follow probabilistic models. Especially probabilistic models likely created to push an agenda.

They’re a person, not a statistic. Telling someone fighting with depression that they’re going to lose that fight is a dick move and actively harmful. If this is a genuine mistake rather than transphobic ragebaiting, please consider the effects your words have on people.

And to all the trans folk reading this: You got this. Don’t let haters get you down just because you’re making changes to improve your life. <3

… Isn’t supporting and highlighting smaller creators rather than huge megacorps kinda a core part of the anti-capitalist movement?

Ehhh… I was more going for someone saying they like vegan foods and responding with “ooh, have you tried this recipe?”.

If you want different programs to have their own file structure, there’s always NixOS. It’s not as readable, but every package has its own directory in /nix/store.

Isn’t it Chromium based and thus subject to whatever Google forces them to do with adblocking?

I don’t mean to kinkshame and people can use their own favourite browsers, but Firefox has good support for all three of those areas (adblocking is an extension though).

Isn’t this an example of pushing for standardisation of parental controls?

This is perhaps a controversial statement from someone who is fed up with all this age verification stuff, but having the user age be set on account creation (without providing ID or anything dumb like that) doesn’t seem that bad.

It just feels like a way to standardise parental controls. Instead of having to roll their own age verification stuff, software like Discord can rely on the UserAccountStorage value.

If it were possible to plug into a browser in a standard, privacy conscious way, it also reduces the need for third party parental control browser extensions, which I imagine can be a bit sketchy.

OSes collect and expose language and locale information anyway. What harm is age bands in addition to that?
