I'm pretty sure even if that was the case, the word was hijacked by bigots to insult anything they disagree with.

I feel like you're doing something wrong with the nullables... I'm pretty sure you don't need to mark up files, you can just enable it on the whole project? I'm not sure about the attributes, you might have a point there, but it just makes sense for value vs reference types IMO, since value types are already implicitly different in terms of nullability.

But yeah, I can imagine it's half-baked, since nullable reference types (that's the name, previously reference types were just nullable by default with no extra features) are a more recent addition to the language, one that wasn't built with them in mind.

Careful, NFTs lie that way. /s

The issue is, it sounds like a complicated mess in terms of figuring out exact legislations, implementations, patent and licensing rights, who's responsible for facilitating the actual resale, and ultimately it's gonna support and legitimize shady resellers like g2a selling stolen copies.

To be fair, aren't vitamins and soup pretty much the best thing we have for viral infections like the flu and covid? I mean, obviously vaccinating is better, but when you're already sick, you pretty much just need to rest, stay hydrated, get some nutrients and let your immune system deal with it, right?

Oh, no, that's just the dip during working hours for the other timezones

I use aura, BTW.

What's the point of capitalizing the first word of a sentence? Why are English letters pronounced differently in the same arrangements depending on the word? The language just is like that, it basically evolved over centuries to end up in this form.

Languages weren't designed to work in a certain way, there wasn't somebody smart saying they should work like X because Y, it's just slow changes to how many people speak.

I might be wrong, but doesn't SSE require you to explicitly use it in C/C++? Laying out your data as arrays and specifically calling the SIMD operations on them?

Plasma on Wayland does have HDR support now... But I don't have a way to test how good it is, and I think it's both still unfinished and severely lacking support from applications. But hey, things are improving!

I wouldn't count on Adobe support though.

I don't know about the second one - people shouldn't be discriminated based on religion, so is it really right to discriminate against "religious leaders"? That goes a step beyond separating religion from law and into hindering people based on their beliefs.

For a while, maybe... But the two distinctions I'd want to make is that, one, that's also mostly the time you'll spend learning what you need to set up as part of your system, and two, things that might be out of your control on many distros. I'd also say that by calling it a "meme distro" you're lumping it together with Hannah Montana Linux and similar.

I will certainly say, however, that I'm rather annoyed by all the people saying "Bro you can set up arch in a few minutes just run archinstal it's easy"... Not only do I not believe it's that easy when you don't know what you're doing and need to actually use the system, but that also seems to run counter to the point of arch. I think there's at least two popular arch derivatives meant to remove the enthusiast aspect and provide a streamlined experience, so why recommend arch to new people if not as a learning experience?

Calling Arch a meme distro is unnecessarily insulting. I imagine the same applies to Gentoo, but I haven't used it myself. It's an enthusiast distro, for people who want to have control over how their system is set up while accepting the responsibility of having to set everything up.

I absolutely agree with recommending against it for somebody's first experience - but if you're willing to read through the guides and troubleshoot issues, you can learn a lot about how things work on Linux. It's the kind of distro where you will have issues, and they will usually be due to your own mistakes.
