For those who are only familiar with Linux (or Windows): don't relegate yourself to any one system. FreeBSD has its benefits and so does Linux (and Windows, though that shrinks by the day - and MacOS). Use the best tool…
Perhaps the initial posts spurred reader interest in FreeBSD which then spurred further posts? FreeBSD is great - good to see it get positive "airtime."
It looks great using Plasma. If the comparison and "problem" is the lack of a "ribbon" menu, etc., then you are missing the whole point of Office alternatives: they are free, open source, but most importantly, they are…
Fooyin is great. For those spoiles by foobar2000, there are no alternatives.
The typical touted benefit is the native first-party ZFS support.
You believe it is irrelevant - I believe it is relevant. I argue matter itself has more basis in reality in that it cannot be as easily explained away as time. In the context you're speaking in, there is much more…
How do you know anything outside of your perception is true? All things boil down to a philosophical argument. The simplest answer is that "time" as we imagine it is a product of our interpretation and the true nature…
We understand "time" in the context that we must: to subsist in order to procreate. The extent it exists outside of our own perception as we imagine it does, is debatable. Ultimately, time is our sensory interpretation…
Likewise. UHD blurays are still quite common; perhaps not in physical stores so much, but that holds true for many products.
Life isn't inherently easy - or fair. For most, it is much easier today because of the efforts of those who came before us. We are lucky for those efforts because they afford us moderation and comfort that are not…
Rock solid and plenty of ports. I use it for multiple ZFS file servers, which subsequently led me to utilizing Linux regularly, which then led to dropping Windows altogether. It sounds corny to say but FreeBSD changed…
Agreed - it wasted my time.
I was also disappointed.
The answer is a resounding yes. The article conflates philosophy with the formal study of philosophy. In truth, philosophy necessarily exists just as math does, even if no one studies it. And also like math, even when…
Even if you - and the stance SO takes/took - are correct, that doesn't erase the fact that the decorum is unpalatable to a vast majority of the user-base. Being correct does not necessarily engender popularity or…
We are victims of our success.
While what you say may be true, I would wager poor password hygiene isn't relegated to just this administration; rather, it seems to be a human weakness in general.
Interesting point that I also alluded to elsewhere. The perspective of good/bad could vary highly depending on the individual. And really, it could vary highly based on what any one individual is looking for out of a…
Existence of a/the soul isn't the only reason machines cannot replace people in the context of something like this. One reason is that the human experience is dependent upon the biological nature of man. The biological…
It cannot because it is not human. It can emulate the experience but it will never be genuine. Generally, if a caller ever became aware that it wasn't truly a person on the other end it would lessen the interaction.…
By definition, it will never replace "them."
The point of it all is the human connection - not the answers.
Try EndeavourOS. I've had less issues with a "riskier" distro like this than the recommended safer distros.
Until the past 2 months, I was an avid Windows user. Up until 2 years ago, I had 7 machines with legitimate copies of Windows installed, several functioning in a server capacity. Unfortunately, the path Windows…
I went from 7 copies of Windows 11 Pro in personal use - all purchased at full price - to using none now. Now they are all combinations of FreeBSD, Debian, and Endeavour.
