I didn't downvote, but I found it quite unclear and vague.

Nintendo announced the lawsuit [...] we were just about to go to Tokyo Game Show, so obviously we had to scale back a little bit and hire security guards and stuff like that."

I don't follow the connection... Why do you need security guards in response to a lawsuit?

If you don't want proprietary drivers the choice is quite straightforward: AMD. The official drivers are open source.

As for my experience, I've had absolutely no problems in the last few years with AMD, but I have to admit that I have always been using an iGPU, which has always been good enough for my needs.

I used to have problems with Nvidia proprietary drivers, but that was at least a couple years ago, things might have changed. I've never had issues with the free unofficial drivers, besides worse performance.

Keep in mind that non-hardenized containers only protect you from bugs, they don't protect you from sophisticated malware. If you suspect the software you are trying to run might be a virus, don't run it, or run it in a virtual machine.

I would recommend using containers only if you absolutely understand how to make them secure AND you have no reason to suspect the software you are running might contain nefarious code. In any other case use a virtual machine.

No no, this is actually open source. Not just the ISA, but also the silicon.

Let's not forget Forgejo, a fork of Gitea. Self-hosted. It's CodeBerg's backend.

VM startup time can be skipped by saving state instead of shutting it down every time.

I would say the worst issue using a VM is with programs that need the GPU (e.g. CAD softwares or games), and software with aggressive DRM.

This is a screenshot from uBlock Origin, an ad-blocker for browsers. Red means that something is in a block list. There is a lot of red, which means this website uses a lot of stuff that tracks the user or serves ads.

That being said, I've seen much worse.

For what it's worth, I always prefer being redundant if it makes the meaning clearer to a non-native speaker audience.

For instance I didn't know "pandemic" implicitly meant "global". In my ignorance I thought you could have a localized pandemic. But by saying "global pandemic" it makes it more obvious to everyone, including those who, like me, didn't know.

Also I'll personally keep saying "my phone had an LCD display" because it feels smoother than "my phone has a LCD".

Signal desktop client is actually Electron based. And AFAIK, Electron doesn't run on Android, only on the desktop.

As an Italian, I would say that's not the case, not "a lot of Italians are racist". I've had interactions with a few racist people of older generations, but I would say that they are the exception, thankfully.

Apologies, but why would one prefer the fork over the original? Aren't they both FOSS anyways?

I suppose in a well configured Docker or Kubernetes environment this doesn't matter that much. Also, in Kubernetes, "secrets" can be passed as read-only files.
