I usually just ask them to back that assertion up by running "pacman -Rcs xwayland" (or their package manager's equivalent).

None have taken me up on my request, and they immediately switch to blaming the apps for it, even though some literally cannot be ported.

it means that it has hardware that can multiply matrices. Just like the gpu they already have can!

they don't work. Technically they do, but they are a major major pain to manage.

the security of a blockchain in directly tied to the number of users actively participating. You need to incentivize users to keep participating indefinitely. You do this by rewarding them with something that they value. As the number of users dwindles, so does the network's security. So how can a blockchain work on anything that isn't a cryptocurrency? If it's not a currency, then it can't be used to motivate people to participate in the network. After all, you are spending real money to pay for the electricity to mine. If there's nothing to pay you back with, that's just money out of your own pocket. Who the hell would accept such a deal?

The way I view it is that to eliminate that one con, you have to willingly give up on all the pros. Which is a ridiculous proposition in any scenario.

fluent in Maltese (native) and English. Conversational in Italian. I was one of the last generations to grow up without the internet, so we had to watch TV. And we're in close proximty to italy so we could get their channels. It is much less common nowadays for kids to also know Italian here. But people my age have no idea what Dragon Ball Z sounds like in english. We all watched it in Italian.

you press buttons on the controller and the character reacts to those. It's that easy!

you are already constantly falling around the sun. No effort needed. If you want to stop orbiting (fall "down" instead of sideways) you need to negate the speed you already have. Otherwise you'd just keep doing the same thing we all already are: falling around, but not into, the sun
