Does anyone know how the amount of information is actually derived? The article just says “researchers calculated”

We need laws mandating respect of robots.txt. This is what happens when you don’t codify stuff

Everything is reverse-engineered, and different people work on different stuff. It’s not like the resources devoted to OpenGL could be diverted to microphone support, that’s a completely different skill set.

You need to find an image to install, but I think there shouldn’t be any technical issues beyond that

Why would anyone identify by their political ideology? Or worse, by a single party??

I’ve never tried NixOS, but it looks really promising.

I usually use Fedora or OpenSUSE, which have good software availability (unfortunately not as good as the AUR). Fedora provides selinux by default, and has profiles for basically everything. SUSE uses AppArmor, but Arch doesn’t provide convenient configuration for either, and only supports x86_64 (which is why I switched away from it).

Not sure if they have that kind of processing power. Also, couldn’t you modify the player to skip them?

People have different opinions on how packages should be managed. Of course, there are some package managers which are very similar to each other (DNF and zypper have the same backend), but they can also get really different (Nix/Guix and pacman are basically completely opposite in philosophy). It comes down to preference, and you can’t force anything.

The Israeli government doesn’t even represent all Israelis, let alone all Jews. Does represent the vast majority unfortunately

It’s funny because trains are both the past and the future.

Use whatever you want. But do consider if you want to contribute to Google’s monopoly, and if you want to use an open-source browser.

• Vivaldi Browser is not open source. Better use Brave than that…
• If you still really hate Firefox, Ungoogled Chromium which is basically Chrome with all the Google stuff removed.
• All of the above do still contribute to Google’s monopoly, so I would really encourage Firefox or a fork.
• Barring that, you could also get away with a WebKit browser (like GNOME web, Nyxt). Although WebKit is developed by Apple, it’s still open source and doesn’t look particularly bad. If you’re on a Mac, Safari is an option, but it’s closed source.

Stick to one of the major distros, not some little-known derivative. Also, please avoid Manjaro, it’s horribly broken, and Ubuntu, because snap. It essentially just comes down to how you want to manage your packages.

Edit: VirtualBox is fully supported on Linux, but QEMU/KVM is better.
