I prefer public trackers and torrents just because I don’t like gatekeeping piracy. I want those bits to be distributed as far and wide as possible. So anything I get and/or seed will be public.
Even if there are bad peers that don’t give back (which there are many), plenty enough times it’s just people with shitty under served Internet connections. I’m fortunate enough to have a good enough connection where that doesn’t bother me.
Rust is a great language but it really has a lot of up-front costs. Whether you are learning it for the first time, or starting a new project, both. Python is always going to be faster “from idea to deployment.”
I think like the other person said, start with the Rust book. It really is a perfectly good introduction. But what I think you’ll find is if you want to be productive with Rust you will need to get the ground rules down or else you will be constantly tripping on the borrow checker and ownership rules. If you think you are getting somewhere with the book, try rewriting something you’ve done in Python. If that works out, great! If not, it’s OK to accept that Rust might not be worth your time.
A report by the US-based Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), released on Wednesday, said western tourism to the region risked supporting the normalisation of Chinese government policies that were “intended to destroy the Uyghur identity”.
lol the most famous human-rights supporting nation on earth, the united states. How’s that Guantanamo Bay detention facility doing, btw?
Most of the package holidays – often marketed as Silk Road tours – stopped in the Xinjiang cities of Turpan, Kashgar and Urumqi, and some provided “problematic” experiences including visits to the Xinjiang Regional Museum, which UHRP said contributed to the “state erasure of Uyghur history, culture and identity”, and the Id Kah mosque, which research groups say has been made largely off limits to Uyghurs for prayer.
Definitely do not go to Xinjiang and observe things for yourself. Do not talk to the locals. Do not ask anyone about anything. Trust us, bro.
I was gonna keep quoting but actually by the time I got 2/3s of the way down I realized every line of this “news article” was just basically a reprint of what UHRP claimed. No investigative attempt at verifying or validating any claim independently on the part of The Guardian. For all I know the UHRP is actually a totally stand up organization and their reports are all very good, but anything that is HQed in DC and claims to support human rights is automatically suspect in my eyes.
I think the “upsell” (Lord help me for calling it this) is that it integrates with Office365, or in a corporate environment, AD. So by provisioning it once you have every component interconnected. If you’re used to Edge at home you will not be hesitant to want to use it at work. To say nothing about getting non-corporate home users into Bing and, ideally, Microsoft’s OpenAI-ified Bing.
It’s all very nasty work.
I just tried EndeavourOS with XFCE on a really old laptop and it works quite well. Xfce lacks some niceties that Gnome or KDE would provide, but its stability and reliability are unquestionable.
I suspect this isn’t even a contest. Kdenlive is just really good.
Out of curiosity, does this problem occur if you booted a live environment of another distro? Like does it still exhibit with Kubuntu 23.04’s Wayland session?
Super Mario Bros got me in. It was my older sister’s game, so it was just something we had around the house for as long as I can remember. I think that’s a great first game to get into, because it has wonderful art and music, and simple, straightforward challenges to overcome.
On the flip side, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain got me out of gaming for the most part. I had never been more excited for something than by the story being painted by the trailers leading up to the game’s release. I was already a big time MGS fan, and I’d say I still am. I even enjoyed MGS5 basically right up until the moment I beat it, and then I reflected on everything I just saw and felt utterly deceived. Empty open world, lots if time wasting interstitial moments, grind-based mechanics, and an unfinished story that didn’t need to take as long as it did to tell (and was stupid, too).

Just btw, while zstd’s compression ratio might be stronger, it will not be as fast as something like lzo-rle. When it comes to RAM you will definitely want to prefer speed unless you have a strict space usage requirement.
