It could also mean that you're not the target for that distro. CachyOS (Arch derivative), same as Bazzite (Fedora derivative) focus on the gaming experience, which is why gaming people switching from Windows tend to cluster around those two.

> P.S. That shit looks like Windows XP, the Fisher Price OS FFS

  so what? Is it usable and does it work?

It's not about code, it's about review effort.
I was on the receiving end of an AI MR, which didn't even fix the bug it said it did, and the author visibly didn't even test it. I mean, even the added test cases didn't run. This idiot cost me 2 hours of my time, because I assumed good intentions and understanding.

This is the "slop" that needs to get evicted quickly, right at the beginning of the review process, otherwise already overstretched maintainers will quickly burn out.

European farming (which is what got brought over to the Americas) is steppe farming. Also do note that the original place of this type of farming (the Fertile Crescent) is now a desert.
Most of Europe wants to be a forest, yet we're forcing it to be a steppe.

We got it wrong many thousands of years ago, and exported it all over the world.

There are native peoples that do understand, but we're killing them. Those that interest me the most are the Kogi of Columbia.

> I have long ago moved my personal folders OUT of the stock provided directories (photos, documents, etc), initially out of convenience as I had a D: drive and wanted to keep stuff there rather than on the OS drive, but more recently it's been advantageous to stop MS from snooping around and trying to auto index my content for personal reasons or even auto-move it to OneDrive.

Learned to do that in the 00s, when windows recovery helpfuly recovered "My Documents" to the initial empty state.

> NAT is not a security mechanism, it's a kludge to get around a lack of address space. You can operate a firewall without NAT and it works better this way because it's less complex and has less to go wrong.

No, it is not. But it works very well as one...

I mean sure, to do NAT I need a router, which has a working firewall (right?) , but don't bother me with those details! NAT is the main security mechanism, and leave those pesky firewall rules empty. I could learn something, and we don't want that...
