There is also AppImage Launcher which works nicely for me. It automatically integrates AppImages into the DE (e.g. search and start menu) and a few other nice things.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, we are talking about the US. The article even says explicitly:
“Various U.S. presidents considered and approved billions of dollars in arms sales to controversial nations during his tenure — for instance, to Saudi Arabia in its ongoing war in Yemen.”
So it’s not the first time he’s about to make a very questionable choice. Though I guess he knows some details that blur the lines.
It does sound a bit weird. On the other hand, if he can influence the choices positively, he does have a point. If not him, someone else would take the job. I would have drawn the line somewhere else but I can understand where he is coming from.
And the fact that he resigned means that he has and likely had some moral compass guiding him.
The only thing I could find is an old-school keyboard by IBM. I guess that’s it and OP just likes the hacker vibes of using that kind of keyboard?
Totally agree, though I haven’t really participated that much on Reddit. Seems like any disagreement is quickly framed as trolling over there.
Sure, no worries! I haven’t been disappointed yet by responding to downvoted comments so I will keep doing it :)
Just another similar metaphor: Power hungry. Not the stove kind but the dictator kind. To be honest, there are quite a lot of body related metaphors, e.g. drowning in trouble, blinded by ambition. I guess it comes down to evoking some strong emotion.
Consider another association with thirst: Desperation. In the mind of the other porn consumption is negative so anyone consuming porn is doing this out of desperation, despite knowing better. It essentially describes people being controlled by their base instincts. And thus this site is a trap, luring people against their will.
That is how I would interpret the word thirst in this context anyway. It’s not about a critical need, it’s about thirst being irrational and highly compulsive.
Huh? Why would you switch to miles from kilometers?
And IMHO megameters aren’t used that often because there is rarely anything useful to measure with it. Using a different unit makes you lose your sense of scale (e.g. the earth has a radius of ~7000km, not 7Mm) and for astronomy megameters aren’t big enough most of the time (and you might as well use lightseconds/years because gigameters give no real intuition of scale).
The economy isn’t looking that great in Spain right now AFAIK. With high unemployment it could at least be somewhat attractive.
3,400€/month to be part of some special forces doesn’t seem like a good deal? Like, sure. It’s a good salary. But for joining a war where about a third of the soldiers already are casualties it seems a bit low. At least if you view them as mercenaries. For volunteers I guess that the ideological reasons play a huge part. But why does the company emphasize that they are only called volunteers to avoid legal issues? The whole thing seems quite sketchy.
Country builds up industry to not rely on opposing country in preparation for war.
Maybe we should be slightly concerned about that? IMHO it shows that Chinas ambition for Taiwan are quite serious.
Obviously it’s a skill issue but don’t you ever make mistakes? If Rust prevents some bugs and makes you more productive, what is not to like? It’s a new language and takes time to learn but the benefits seem to outweigh the downsides now and certainly in the long run (compared to C at least).
Maybe Torvalds didn’t give in to public opinion but made an informed choice?
The crates are a bit of a problem and I think Rust is a bit overhyped for high-level problems (it still requires manual memory management after all) but those are not principal roadblockers, especially in the kernel.
