The way statistics work, 1000 people is more than adequate for a population the size of Israel. It’s honestly overkill, if anything. The real question is “are the respondents a representative sample?” That is, is the way you chose who to question and how to question them introducing any systemic bias in your results? For this survey, if everyone lived in the West Bank, that would be a clear source of bias in the data. But if people are randomly selected by, say, phone number, then you would have to worry about more subtle biases before agreeing that the data is sound.

Depends on if you get into barefoot style shoes or not.

Seeing as how 40% of the security issues that have been found over the years wouldn’t exist in a memory-safe language, I would say a re-write is extremely worth it.

“The SBAT value is not applied to dual-boot systems that boot both Windows and Linux and should not affect these systems,” the bulletin read. “You might find that older Linux distribution ISOs will not boot. If this occurs, work with your Linux vendor to get an update.”

Excuse me, those are the opposite of each other.

Yeah I agree, but that’s the place where the expert I know shared their knowledge. If I had a text based source I would have used that.

Almost certainly not.

For sure, which is why I only use Mint anyway. I need my hand held. But Linus was doing power-user things without power-user reading. You can’t really claim the car is no good when you opened the hood and started swapping hoses without checking to see what goes where.

Linus uninstalled his desktop after ignoring the warning that said °hey, this will uninstall your desktop.°

Yeah absolutely zero newbies are going to buy a new computer in order to test out Linux.

I use KdenLive on Mint whenever I need to edit a video. I’ve never bothered to look for the other two because I use Darktable and GIMP for my photo editing, but I can check to see if they’re available if you want me to.

Open source researchers on social media suggested a Krasukha electronic warfare radar jammer had been positioned on the complex.

That’s why. The jammer is messing with Ukrainian operations and Russia put it there so they could scream “nuclear site!” if Ukraine ever went after it.

In every fucking program ever it’s a single tool.

I barely use GIMP, but years ago I heard about it and gave it a go. It simultaneously opened three or four seemingly random windows and no actual workspace as far as I can tell. I immediately gave up. It wasn’t until recently that I had a reason to try again, and at this point I had forgotten the absurd situation I ran away from the first time. Luckily they’ve made some improvements since then. It’s still a bit obtuse, but I hear a big update is coming soon that might fix some of the UI issues?

Flatpak “containerizes” the program, which makes it more secure and less able to accidentally mess up other programs. Fuck if I know how it works.

Also you don’t have to type in your password every time you want to update the program, so that’s nice.

Unless we start turning things around from the bottom up, America is going to leave its own people out to dry.

It’s kinda a slur in the US in the sense that people claim it’s a slur, but I’ve never heard anyone actually use it that way.

A gimp is any of the following:

1. A cripple
2. A particular kind of BDSM role
3. Twisted silk, worsted, or cotton with cord or wire running through it, used chiefly as upholstery trimming.
4. (in lacemaking) coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some techniques.
5. fishing line made of silk bound with wire.

The last three I got from the internet.

It’s one of those situations where corporations get to pull similar bullshit, so they think actual humans get to use the same tricks, too.

I make sure to give my guess and also append as many logs and exact information as possible, right down to every step I took that produced the problem.

So far my success rate with the forums is 0%. But hey, people at least tried to be helpful!
