Re: YouTube slowing-down Firefox for ad-blockers
I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube/Google is using AI's for this purpose.
And even if it were, what difference does it make?! The term AI has been around since the late 80s and is nothing new. It's completely incomprehensible to me why this term has been constantly used as a buzzword lately, as ...

Re: Opinions of nix and nix-os?
What I have come to realize with Linux is that I must have a point of real connection and enjoyment - how to do, how to repair, how to 'sexy it up', and how to drive it ... each of these can happen on a small scale as I learn it, but it *must* start to happen pretty quick and I have to like things ...

Re: Are mechanical keyboards worth the price?
So when we talk about mechanical keyboards, a few other aspects come into play, such as the layout of certain keys. Of course, these are not the same everywhere and are often fundamentally different. In this particular case we are talking about the cursor keys, whose arrangement cannot always be ...

Re: Are mechanical keyboards worth the price?
The Filco? That ain't expensive.
I wrote it's relatively expensive and that's true! So, $150 + transport costs + import fee = about $185. Still, it was a justified investment and I wouldn't want to miss it. I've never been guided by what others have or believe is good, I am happy to forego this ...

Re: Are mechanical keyboards worth the price?
I still use a 1986 model M keyboard because I make fewer errors with it. When I use my laptop keyboard or my wife's membrane keyboard I have to pay far more attention to my typing. One note about typing on mechanical keyboards is that unlike a membrane keyboard you don't have to bottom out the ...

Re: Why I keep coming back to MX and Antix
Just for clarification, there exist or existed a linux distro that does that, I just don't remember the name, nor could I find it with a quick search.
Insert the USB, it automatically installs and wipes the existing OS.
I have to admit that I didn't know this, as I've never come into contact ...

Re: What is your policy when buying new computer hardware?
Basically only from brands that I know well, the hardware has usually been on the market for at least two years. Additionally, the purpose of the machine is a crucial factor. I select the individual components with the greatest care in terms of compatibility and these are usually never purchased ...

Re: The best editor.?
I also prefer micro, although the interval for any updates is significantly longer compared to nano. However, that's not the only advantage, micro also allows changes to protected files without a password, which is only required when saving. This is much more convenient since you don't have to leave ...

Re: Why I keep coming back to MX and Antix
The fastest installing Linux distro is (I forgot the name) the one that automatically installs itself when the USB (or maybe media) is inserted into the computer – it installs like a "virus or whatever" and wipes the existing OS.
Oh yes, and it shouldn't change the partitions on your system ...
