The FSF has a page dedicated to this exact question: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.en

Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn’t even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?

It reminds me more of the AWS outage last month.

It’s probably not half of the Internet, but the fact that it’s so many very visible sites should be a warning sign to everyone that the Internet is nowadays too reliant on a few points of failure (which can cause other problems, e.g. censorship).

likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?

Not sure what exactly you’re asking.

hmmm I see; could not at least aimbots still be detected on the server side?

I’m not a gaming dev, but a full-stack web dev; is it not common sense that data needs to be validated on the server side, not client? I don’t really get why client-side “anti-cheat” is a thing, but may be missing something.

When I read things like this, I struggle to understand the economic logic behind it.

How much money does Microsoft really expect to get from more people using Edge instead of Chrome? I mean, both of them are provided free of charge anyway. Does the control over the default search engine or the advertising technology or something like that really bring them more money than these “rewards” cost?

KDE uses “meta” to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses “meta” to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key “Super”.

This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don’t want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys “Super” and “Alt”, those are unambiguous.

I think I may have written that, but that was when all that was being talked about was allowing services to scan voluntarily. There was no mention of “all appropriate risk mitigation measures” when I wrote that.

Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.

The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.

KDE mostly calls it Meta, GNOME calls it “Super”.

I don’t think there’s much difference. Any standard USB gamepad should work equally fine. I find the Xbox layout more comfortable than the PlayStation one, but this may be different for different people.

everything is fucking videos now

did you know that the more inappropriate the place you put the word “fucking” in is, the more seriously people will take your comments? :D

Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it’s completely unclear what it does or doesn’t mean.

Somehow I suspect that improving this isn’t what’s going to happen…

no, “Missing Link” is a regular series on that news site: https://www.heise.de/thema/Missing-Link

not-so-common setups like two monitors

In Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, the NPC who asks “where are you from” and we get the options “yes” and “no”.

(He has not heard of yes town, nor does he believe we don’t come from anywhere at all.)

Well, for most real-world programming languages, you do have to teach syntax. You do not have to use the word “syntax”, you can call it something else.

Obviously there are things like Scratch that are intended for your exact use case.

I don’t think you need to use the word “syntax” at all when teaching anyone basic coding. There are many ways to paraphrase the concept. It is kind of an odd question, why that specific word?
