A typo is when you slip up and type/get something wrong because you're moving too fast to pay attention.

Spelling a word wrong because you don't know how to spell it isn't a typo. This person doesn't strike me as an intellectual that knows complex spellings like "afraid"

I know nothing about this specific person. But the American Republican party is on a bit of a hypocritical purity crusade. They claim that porn is bad. They are the ones getting all worked up about other peoples sexual life, because it somehow affects the sanctity of their marriage.

So this article is pointing out his hypocrisy. He is doing something wrong by his own standards, so what room does he have to try to make laws about his stupid beliefs when he doesn't even follow them himself.

Wine/proton are great but not perfect. Lots of games don't work through proton. "Compatible with linux" can mean doing the work to make sure your windows build is proton friendly and will work on Linux. It doesn't have to mean Linux native.

Because otherwise if you have too many small letters in a row it stops looking like a plural and more like a misspelled word. Because capitalization differences you can make more sense of As but not so much as.

But if the moon wasn't there, there would be no light reflected. Doesn't matter the source, we have light at night because of the moon

He infamously wears diapers and poops himself. That's not just a stupid lie to shame him.

They would have to hire VaatiVidya to explain the lore to them.

"This hardware works fine and even has compatible software that it works great with. But I'm going to prefer the broken software for other reasons. And that means it's the hardware's fault."

Software that is built to be compatible with a wide variety of hardware should be compatible with a wide variety of hardware.

If software can't handle a 16.5:16 aspect ratio, then that's bad software. I don't care how weird of a niche thing that is... just make your software abstract enough to handle those cases.

It's 2024, any resolution/aspect ratio/DPI combo should be supportable. There's enough variety of monitors out there that we should have a solution for handling things on the fly without needing to have a predefined solution.

The archinstall script has a list of "profiles" that you can select from (custom, desktop, minimal, server, tailored, xorg).. And if you select "desktop" it will prompt you which DE or WM you want to install. (awesome, bspwm, budgie, cinnamon, cosmic, cutiefish, deepin, enlightment, gnome, hyprland, i3, lxqt, mate, plasma, qtile, sway, xfce4).

By the time you're done with the archinstall script, you basically have a fully functioning arch (ive never used the script seriously, so I have no idea what all remains not set up doing this).

The main difference between Arch and Ubuntu in this regard, is that if you want to run KDE Plasma, you download the common Arch ISO, and select Plasma at installation time. Compared to Ubuntu where you would download the "Kubuntu" spin, so you are selecting Plasma when you acquire the ISO in the first place.

There is no "default" arch DE, so when you install Arch, there is a lot of decisions to make (and you may not know how to make those decisions if its your first distro), whereas Ubuntu makes a lot of decisions for you, so you have to answer no questions to get set up (but you may be set up in a way you weren't expecting). In this regard, Arch really does just feel like building a PC from parts, you just have to pick all the parts. Ubuntu is more like buying a pre-built.

One of my (otherwise random) WoW guild members had my grandma as his kindergarten teacher.
