That’s an existential crisis I’ve had after starting to eat vegan. Suddenly everything in your cupboard is a plant, with the exception of salt and sometimes mushrooms.
It’s just like: I’ll now eat this noodle-shaped plant with this pureed plant and this protein-rich plant and I’ll also throw in some tasty plant shreds. Maybe I should also have some plant leaves with a dressing out of plant oil, fermented plant juice and this plant seed paste.
But then I realized that meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and even mushrooms, they’re all just processed/digested plants, too. So, there’s only plants and salt. Which really didn’t make the existential crisis any better, but at least we’re all in it together. 🙃
Personally, I just don’t think pregnant women need legal restrictions here. I imagine, ultra-conservatives think that more liberal women just have tons of unprotected sex and gladly risk getting pregnant, because they can just get an abortion.
But I’ve never seen that actually being a thing. Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. And if they do get pregnant, I have never heard of any woman, who took the decision to get an abortion lightly.
I believe that no woman will apply a lower moral standard to her unborn baby (or not-yet-baby, whatever) than our moral standards for human life in general.
Outright prohibiting abortion is not a higher moral standard, because you’ll have many cases where the outcome is worse for everyone involved, e.g. when the baby is already dead, but cannot be removed.
Because spicyness isn’t really a taste, it’s rather just pain. The various spicy chemicals (capsaicin, piperine, curcumin etc.) essentially just irritate your skin.
Well, it’s not like more advanced distros are built to not work. Rather, they work better for different focus points.
So, I would encourage people, especially those with a techy background, to take a look around eventually, but yeah, your conclusion to that journey may as well be that Mint was nice, actually.

Ah, I didn’t know more modern versions of the VST standard specified a Linux interface. I thought, they were still just basically EXEs with some metadata attached.
I had to read up on it just now. The abbreviation stands for “Young Men’s Christian Association” and apparently, it’s about as gay as it sounds, which the song celebrates.
Ideally, you work out the requirements. Then you formulate those requirements in code, via the static type system and/or automated unit+integration tests. And then you implement your code to match those requirements (compiler stops complaining and tests are green).
Ideally, you don’t have to actually run the whole application to feel confident enough about your changes, although obviously you would still do that eventually, for example before publishing a release.
Yeah, really happy about this. $WORKPLACE uses Ubuntu and the Snap is just mildly broken in multiple ways. The .tar.bz2 works, but we would have had to script the download + creation of the .desktop file. We successfully procrastinated doing the latter long enough, that Mozilla fixed it.
I read up on it at some point and it was essentially a matter of their UI framework just being custom-implemented. Any advanced UI concept would need so much overwhelming support from the community, that a core dev then sits down for a few months to dish out the necessary UI components, that this is just not really happening. The core devs aren’t exactly bored most of the time anyways.
Having said that, they did recently renovate the settings menu using the UI components they already had, and that turned out really cool.
Also, I do feel like some smaller improvements could be made without big code changes, but yeah, those then end up in too many discussions.
The font has been discussed many times. To give you a taste:
Many want a font with fantasy style, but Minetest can also depict a futuristic setting. Others want a blocky font, but those usually aren’t very legible (i.e. accessible) and often only support a narrow range of languages.
I think, just a font, which looks less serious and less thin, already improves it massively, but you can’t even get folks to agree on that, because well, if the font is tweaked, you might need to adjust lots of UI components and mods and such to work with the different font dimensions. So, if a font change is made, people want to get it perfect from the start.
The button gradients are another case, where most people agree that something else would look better and it could be easily changed, but discussions just never end.
The community is just so big and so public, that there’s always someone new joining into the discussion, so that no consensus can occur…
I have a very specific questions about Linux Traffic control and u32 filters in particular. However, I don’t know where the right place is to ask such a question as it’s fairly niche....
But well, you might also be running into a bug or something that could potentially be exploited, or maybe just into a lack of documentation (which is also a bug). Either way, some devs might be interested in knowing about this.
