With flatpak updates, new tabs usually show a message that the browser needs to be restarted, or that something failed, I don’t remember exactly. At least that’s what happens on my machine.

Ive been using the OISD list for myself and family members for the past couple of years without issues. It’s specifically made to to be unnoticeable, by whitelisting hosts that would cause issues.

One thing to note is that it’s not a full replacement for adblockers, as DNS blockers can only block full hosts and not all ads and tracking are served from dedicated hostnames. Things like YouTube ads will be unaffected by DNS based blocking. It does really make a difference, though, including for apps with banners.

I’ve been using the DS620slim for 4.5 years now without any issues. It’s small (2.5” drives) and produces little noise (with SSDs).

I think people overestimate how many of the English comments are written by native speakers. By using English, you have a much larger audience, especially for niche subjects. I almost never use my native language on the internet.

I find 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. incredibly confusing. It’s 11:59 a.m. and one minute later it’s suddenly 12:00 p.m. and you just keep counting until 12:59 p.m. before you reset the clock to 1:00 p.m. The literal meaning of p.m. (post meridiem) is after midday, which instinctively suggests that 12:00 p.m. is 12 hours after midday. If it would just start counting from 0:00 p.m. you wouldn’t have this problem. Of course it all makes sense if you’re used to it, but this is from my 24h perspective.

It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that the US has.

Like with German, we can make arbitrarily long compound words in Dutch (for example, “kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedencomitéleden”), but if we limit it to words that are in the dictionary, “arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering“ (disability insurance) is one of the longest words that’s also commonly used.

Judging by the upvotes to downvotes ratio, I think many people have become allergic to the word “AI,” even if it’s not a large language model and genuinely beneficial and applicable in practice. I guess that’s what happens when everything is called “AI.”

I use the OISD list for family members and I haven’t received a single complaint in years.

It’s 7 billion parameters big.

I used to have everything set to English (my second language), but nowadays I use Spanish when available (third language). I use my native language only for a handful of local apps and websites if Spanish is unavailable.

I don’t think Mexico and Cuba are usually considered to be part of Central America, right?

Some features/plugins can be quite taxing on the system and in extreme cases it can slow the editor down to the point of being unusable. I’m a happy Neovim user with a LazyVim setup, but I experience this extreme slowdown for some JSON files and I haven’t looked into it yet to see what causes it.

You can let your editor do the same compute intensive or memory hogging things that a GUI editor does. The fact that it runs in your terminal doesn’t make it lightweight by definition.
