No, it's just remote. Remote desktop is now also called Windows, also the operating system you are connecting to is called Windows.

Gnome has relatively good rdp support, so with this you could use Windows (the app) on Windows (the os) to connect to you Linux machine running Gnome.

It seems deliberately confusing naming is working as expected, Microsoft marketing team should get extra raise.

MicroG works really well

A free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries.

No.

The only OpenStreetMap based navigation app with live traffic data is Magic Earth. It's not foss, but gratis.

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps. That is the reason live traffic is only available in just some countries: https://www.magicearth.com/feature-availablity/#hd_traffic

It's not os based, usually you can switch between the 2 on your login screen. To check if you are in a wayland session, type this in a terminal:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

The answer should be wayland or x11

During the first 3 seasons Simpsons was animated by KlaskyCsupo, "animation executive producer" and "supervising animation director" was Gábor Csupó. After he left animation style changed to more conventional.

So while the characters, writing and plotlines were not as genial as in the following seasons the animation style was much more interesting, with strange perspectives and point of views, distorted spaces, etc. Just look at this early recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LUf-GGHpuU

This is a gem:

Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

But my favorite is not from a mailing list, but a google+ post for opensuse developers:

If you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace ‘my kids’ with ‘sales people on the road’ if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place

Or just buy your dinner's genetic history on the dark web from the 23andme hack, and make sure they don't have a history of encephalopathy. Modern problems require modern solutions.

Maglev, they hold the current rail speed record with 603 km/h: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_speed_record

By comparison the cruising speed of a current airliner is ~900 km/h

Maybe it was a short dissertation, but the standard grew huge, it's 986 pages: https://www.iso.org/standard/75839.html

This is the reason there are few pdf editors, and their features vary greatly, it's a huge task to impement that standard from scratch.
