Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣
Feel free to use floppy disks. Btw if you are online, you use WebP and PNG all the time 🤣
Would completely defeat the purpose of making a new smaller file format if we prefix if with the old format.
That's how you know something is great software.
Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don't work 🤣 can't make that stuff up.
So finally they have a bot that closes everything because "duplicate" or "opinion"
Jesus, take the ~~wheel~~ legs

Doubling every three months is an exponential interpolation and not a linear one!

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.
It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)
Could also be small hands, so he probably would also have to take someone else's fist to really prove it.

I probably hate Microsoft roughly as much as most people here but in a lot of ways Windows is way more polished than Linux. The second you try something "unconventional" in Linux the shit is going to hit the fan. Fractional scale DPI - half the apps crap their pants. On screen keyboard - and don't get me started with OSK over Firefox in kiosk mode (for example in touch screen settings). Also try to make a custom shortcut on your gnome desktop to run some application with some arguments without writing config files in random directories you have to Google and reloading some configs via a terminal.
Microsoft really went downhill fast and certainly adds a lot of crap to windows lately, but sadly in the Linux world we don't have 1-3 well polished distros, we have hundreds of them. All good at one or two things, but suck at everything else. There a so many options the choice alone is probably the biggest reason everyday people will not switch to Linux if their device doesn't already come with Linux. Even people thinking about switching end up with analysis paralysis because everybody tells them stuff like, try it - if you don't like it try something else. As if they have nothing better to do than trying Linux distros all day long.
