I had oral exams in Belgium where usually you are given time to prepare your written work. In the oral, the task then is to expand on your written work and answer questions that probe your understanding a bit deeper than the question itself. The professor might also ask you to hypothesize by changing some assumptions in the questions to check that you actually know the theory and have not regurgitated the book or copied it from someone.

If companies want something to be reliable and accountable then paying for RHEL seems like the obvious thing to do. They are able to pay for Windows but why not for RHEL. The current change is not unexpected given their acquisition.

In this case,I felt it was only needed because of having jury trials. I had the same takeaway that is useful in other places as you. For example, my boss presented a feature that I had worked on better than how I would have done it.

After testing it feels Kate has similar numbers as Terminal mentioned here but most emulators are just as slow. The minimal ones are actually worse off.

Patreon gives you a private RSS feed so paid podcasts are indeed a possibility. It is similar to getting your private activity ATOM feed from Github for example.

That is why you use a system with a package manager. Maybe you could follow the releases feed on Github. It was what I do when I maintain a package on AUR.

On Linux, I use cgroups to restrict memory usage of certain applications to prevent them from crashing the whole system.

My chat logs are just plain text under ~/.weechat/logs and I search them using rip-grep. Works really fast. I am guessing a nicer interface like IRCCloud or TheLounge can work like Slack for searching, file/snippet hosting etc in a more approachable manner.

They keep the grasslands under control, and they happily mind their own business. I don't think they need genocide.

I never asked for them to be killed. Letting them go extinct is different from killing them en masse.

They were all modified through the generations to make them a commodity. If they have no purpose, them going extinct is not a bad thing. Most of them are optimized for meat or other purposes and they probably can't survive outside. It would be humane to let them go extinct after we transition. FWIW we already wiped them off the Earth, you don't find a lot of wild cows or chickens other than the ones we have modified.

They can be wrong though since no evidence was presented for the “usually coloured” claim. To prove no plant milk uses colouring is neigh impossible but you could easily show a couple of example if it is that common to have colouring in them.

“wannabe gluten pretenders” are harmful to vegans as well. A lot of times I see gluten-free vegan food when I don't care about the gluten. It is like I am subsidising a fad although I am happy that people with actual allergies can now afford gluten free alternatives due to the fad.

If you have a smartphone, people invariably have one or two messaging apps in my experience. If it is not Whatsapp then it is something else. You need to figure out what everyone in your circle is using and switch to it or resort to sending blurry SMS. I've found sharing google photos links is much easier since it backs up anyway.

AUR, snap and flatpak all work differently. AUR is free for all with no trust implied or given but packages will be removed upon user intervention. So curation is basically done by users and other administrations but it doesn't prevent bad packages from being uploaded in the first place. Most of the AUR is building from source so you just have to read the build scripts (PKGBUILDs) of each package before installing and do what a maintainer does.

It gets easier on updates since you only have to check diffs between versions. I believe you are making a wrong decision if you trust anything on the AUR implicitly.
