I’m failing to understand why we would need decimal units at all. Whats the point of them? And why do the original units havr to change name to something as ridiculous as “Gibibyte” while the unnecessary decimal units get the binary’s old name?

Reject MiB, call it “MB” like it originally was.
In dead case, I fish you the bessed.
Of course it does. OP asked multiple questions, this was sipposes to answer why they used KDE instead of Gnome. I personally think Arch would have the advantage of having the newewst drivers, Proton version etc. available.
It says you only have ten seconds, I doubt you could log onto another (Unix) computer in that time, open the terninal, run the man oage and then run over and enter a valid command…
If that’s Bitcoin then this would actually give you, at the current exchange rate of BTC to USD:
0.000000000002557444% USD. If you got that card once every milliscond, you would need 31 years to have 2.5$.
I doubt you’d be rich with one card except lol.
Generation Z rarely uses computers and knows nothing about them, compared to other generations
I disagree. In Gen Z, there are those that use computers regularly and those that don’t. There is a larger gap between clueless and tech-savvy. But the one’s that do use a computer are genrally more tech-savvy than other generations, while the majority of other generations’ computer users are just getting by with minimal knowledge (how files are organized, some specific software like office and not much more).
Start asking people about PC components or programming (don’t count those that learned it university or at their jobs) and you will quickly realize that your best bet is gen Z.
Yeah but do you think people just drop windows and don’t move to any OS afterwards?
CVE score of heartbleed was 7.5, the score of this XZ backdoor is 10…
Basically, one of the contributors that had been contributing for quite some time (and was therefore partly trusted), commited a somewhat hidden backdoor. I doubt it had any effect (as it was discovered now before being pushed to any stable distro and the exploit itself didnt work on Arch) bjt we’ll have to wait for the effect to be analyzed.
If you are using Arch, you should run pacman right now to downgrade.
No, just update. It’s already fixed. Thats the point of rolling release.
All I can say is:
Wine Is Not an Emulator.
Even so, your statement that it is only available on closed-source app stores is wrong. And it doesn’t even matter that it’s not provided by “My First F-Droid Repo Demo” (yes, that’d the name of the official repo). Many open source apps are on IzzyOnDroid, including Jerboa, what do you use to write on Lemmy?
Either way, your original comment is completely wrong and it doesnt help that it’s “only” available in the most popular extra repo.
I started with PopOS but it went so smooth that after like a week I decided I needed something a bit more exciting and installed Arch. Except I accidentally partitioned the wrong drive in fdisk (my Windows drive).
Not true, it’s been available on Fdroid for quite some time now. And it doesn’t need play services for the notifications to work either.
To save myself the hassle of having to rebuild the electron app every once in a while? I’d rather not open my browser, go to their website and log in with 2fa every time I want to read an email.
If thex subscribed because of the interface (ehich is certainly plausible), what would they need IMAP support for? Also, if you really want IMAP, xou can have it, you just need their (open source) Proton Bridge for it (thats a sofrware) so that ut retains all features. But then I would need my own email client.
Why would I use spaces if I use tabs? Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…
You need some wintee boots, thats why.
Well, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed explanation!
Windows and MacOS use the abbriviation “MB” referring to the binary units, correct? How come that these big OS’s use another unit than these large international bodies recognize?
On a side note, I’ve always found it weird why HDDs or SSDs are/were sold with 128GB, 265GB, 512GB etc. when they are referring to decimal units.
