Functional programmers still pretending side effects snd reals world applications don’t exist.

LaTeX is great for documents, mediocre for slides, questionable for spreadsheets, useless for mail and calendar.

Matrix/Element has shitty usability and reliability compared to Discord.

For lots of communities, they could use modern forum software like Discourse with better results.

Standardizations and lower costs through economies of scale are great. However competition is also good, as is redundancy. Some strategic redundancy is also a good idea so the whole European defense doesn’t collapse because of something like Brexit or Orban in Hungary.

The requirements snd budgets for the armed forces vary significantly depending on the geography and infrastructure of a country and likely missions.

Having a military with diverse equipment means the enemy will have to learn about more systems and how to fight them.

Rifles make up a small part of the budget. Buying some weapons locally make them cheaper for the state as the money spent goes into the local economy and some of the cost flows back to the state in the form of taxes. So buying more expensive local weapons can be cheaper overall than importing a seemingly cheaper weapon.

Do you think it‘s all unpaid volunteer work?

I bought a cheap arm based Linux laptop a couple of years ago. The official distribution with full hardware support never received any updates. ARMbian didn’t fully support the hardware more than a year later. E.g. no sound output.

Looks like it’s still rough around the edges.

Web browsers: No web browsers support HDR on Linux at this time.

Valve’s Steam compositor gamescope offers experimental HDR support.

How is support for HDR colors nowadays?
