  • Yes, you are right.

    The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:

    • .NET Framework up to and incl version 4.8
    • Runtimes distributed as part of Windows
    • Mono is a Linux Runtime used for compatibility

    The new stuff:

    • .NET Core, up to and incl 3, more recent versions are named .NET from version 5 onwards (to prevent mixing it up with the old Framework)
    • Is completely cross-platform, natively
    • I don’t know about desktop specific graphical stuff but that probably depends on the specific library

    Thank you for answering.

    I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.

    They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?

    Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?

    The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.

    But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That’s pretty extreme.






  • The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

    If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

    Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.


  • I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.

    It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.

    If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.

    Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you’re looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.

    Completely off topic, but: I’ve been trying Fedora (KDE spin) for a few months now, and I’m flabbergasted at how unusable the distro version (not the Flatpak) of Firefox is. I think it’s a codec issue as I’ve checked Firefox is running in wayland mode, but:

    • video calls (Zoom, Slack) don’t work.
    • despite installing every codec I could find through Fedy, a package manager for non-free Fedora repos.

    Meanwhile, the Microsoft Edge flatpak works flawlessly.

    Are you using a flatpak browser too? If not, how did you get your browser to work?

    I really like Fedora otherwise: up-to-date kernel and modern (very efficiently stored) packages, but properly tested with major releases, btrfs and systemd by default and commonality with RHEL is useful at work.

    But these codec issues are pushing me back to Arch…


  • Exactly! If you only have to edit small text files on a server once in a blue moon, nano is much less biomemory-heavy. But if you regularly write docs and code in l vim or neovim, it starts to pay off after a week or two.

    I really enjoyed learning to quickly select and change entire words or lines, doing things like: :%s/replace_this_text/with_that/g Etc. If you enjoy that, you will soon get to a point where you miss the motions in your regular editor and install a vim extension in VS Code and stuff, just before fully switching to neovim
