It depends on what you’re studying. Some majors like accounting might require you to use Excel, for example. On the other hands, when I was getting my BS+MS in computer engineering, running Linux was actually advantageous

Timshift is to Linux what Time Machine is to Macs. It’s a snapshot tool that lets you roll back a certain file or your entire filesystem to an earlier state

ElementaryOS does it this way

Wow, that’s great. I don’t know of any other program that supports iWork files.

It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!

I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy

macOS, ChromeOS, SteamOS, AWS, Samsung Tizen, literally any embedded device, …

Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.

I use yadm’s post-checkout script feature to accomplish this on my machines.

If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.

I’ve been looking forward to this release!

I understand that people feel strongly about Snaps, but I don’t know about saying that they’re a security vulnerability on the basis of offering automatic updates.

I think that a lot of the recent GNOME design choices are merely because they’re trying to improve usability on mobile devices. It also just so happens that Apple is trying to make the macOS desktop closer to iOS to encourage people to move from Windows. They have similar goals, which leads to similar design choices. And all design is derivative, anyway. Who cares.

It’s sort of annoying that they removed that feature in the first place. Recently, I’ve been using the Nala frontend for APT, since it maintains history similar to DNF/yum, so I try to install all packages through the command-line. The Ubuntu App Center has always been a mild disaster…

I’ve been using AdBlock Plus for at least ten years. Never had an issue

There are instances where the user is implied, but there is always a user. As far as Git goes, the user is almost always git.

Ollama provides a Python API which may be useful. You could have it generate the story in chunks, having it generate a list of key points which get passed to subsequent prompts. Maybe…

I read a comment on Reddit a while back that pointed out how much of the open source community has no issue hosting projects on GitHub while also lampooning Snap for having a closed-source backend server. However, since Snap (and GitHub) are open source themselves, nothing is stopping curious and concerned users from auditing the codebase or hosting their own servers. I removed Snap from my Ubuntu installation and use Flatpak instead, but I do not hate Snap. And for what it’s worth, I always go for the native DEB when possible…
