Because “weekly” is kind of a fraction (1/week), and 2/week and 1/(2week) are very different, but both can be pronounced very similarly. Read kind of like (2-week)ly and 2-(weekly). Which is why both meanings are used, so you need to use context to disambiguate, or just guess if context isn’t available.

This is also the reason why in this thread people say “semiweekly” is the other option, but they don’t all use the same other option. You have the same, but inverse problem there.

I’m also unable to see the difference directly, but everything just feels more snappy. If you can’t feel it, maybe you have some extra latency from somewhere else

If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It’s still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing “play” in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn’t the norm nowadays

Depends one what you need to do, there are some areas in which adobe still has a monopoly

No idea why you’re getting downvoted, this is just a true statement

I’ve seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

It doesn’t necessarily need to be 4-dimensional https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

And at some point, it may just become the present, too :)

Well even if the user doesn’t really know what they’re doing, things shouldn’t easily break, that’s just bad.

Ah yeah nvidia can be painful, especially if you want wayland. But this seems to be a simple modesetting issue, I’m sure there are some known workarounds. You can also report driver bugs directly to nvidia, but I don’t know if that will do much.

bash’s autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean

Borking an entire install by pressing buttons on a monotor is pretty difficult. What exactly were you doing? Did you ask your OS’ community for support?

I think the problem is that the algorithm’s optimisation target is not to entertain people, but to keep them watching, which can cause you to feel bad and still click videos. In the same way other addictions work.

Have a look at https://matrix.org

That’s not true. Pihole voids DNS requests, not the actual HTTP responses. When trying to look up an ad, it tells your devices to look at an unassigned ip address which will then not respond with anything.
