I was fine with that, until the moment I realized that the video showing the end product described in that short article was hosted on a social network reserving access to users. Too bad. Oh well.

Does that mean something for our usage of graph? Is there folks out-there who would benefit from being able to know stuff about a graph just by knowing it has pentagon in it? ( or vice versa )

The article is enjoyable to read. I smiled at "well, we can't do a general proof at the moment, and it might be a lot of work to do so still. But, if we put a hat on the pentagon, we can prove it"

you would be surprised, I'm sorry for this poor comments, I have to get back to work.

But last time I checked a year ago, some poor lone soul was trying to gofundme his effort to provide better drivers/firmware.

Trackpad and sleep-mode are the two things I miss from windows/OSX. It's just more polished over there, specially OSX.

I stick to LTS. I sometime have to update the kernel because of hardware devices or special needs. But even then, I use grub to pick witch kernel I wanna use.

Once the next LTS is out, I usually wait a few more months. I'm not a big fan of having my workstation not being able to do basic things. ( no hard feelings, I trust the process )

It's a blog post. I find it fair game to focus on the shiny objects. I see your point about Microsoft and Google, at the same time, does it have to be a bad things? As long as it stays open source, and it's not `shell` capacity without the optimized code like Chromium or Android are.

What do you think of the actual release-notes ? https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/hirsute-hippo-release-notes/1...

That's my tactic to blend-in in a engineering team and gain some respect / credibility. I try to find the most boring, utterly broken part, that nobody wants to touch... and I sink time into it.

Once I made it somewhat usable, I document it.

I do communicate with non technical friends thought encrytped email. I made them install DeltaChat. It's a encrypted chat relying on mail

DeltaChat, it's encrypted email that present itself as a chat. You can use your own smtp, or use a existing one. It only needs to be able to create a folder locally and use GPG. ( the smtp, the client app has passed the mom test of installation )

Experience is below signal, but decent.
