That says you’re already way beyond the non tech savvy user.

This is the best I could find: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

As a company, Microsoft doesn’t reward anyone for improving the performance of the OS. That should be enough of an explanation 😆.

Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.

I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.

So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.

As much as I do like programming in Java, you have a good point.

Or anything that downloads code from an untrusted source…

Don’t any linux DE have something like a shortcuts app?

I’ve had a surgery last Thursday, so now that I can’t do anything besides sitting and laying for the next two weeks, I’ve started reading and implementing the Crafting Interpreters book. Hopefully it’ll give me a good base for future projects.

Not having a standard library is what hindered JavaScript, mostly because of its origin as a browser language. The dev environment is already bad with many competing options that don’t always play nice together, now imagine that sort of problem even for the basic libraries.

Python quite often have more than one library to do the same thing, but they’re often extra niceties.

I was thinking that one effect copilot-like tools will have in projects is more comments describing the code. Because copilot can both help with the code if you document it well as it can document code well with descriptions and their parameters.

What kind of issues?
