No idea of biotech but I have seen Thought Emporium and “Gatorade” is accurate.

I’m not from the US, but isn’t the smallest coin a 1-cent coin?

You’re not wrong in the long term. But in the short term, people will park anywhere possible close to the shop, blocking everywhere near with cars.

It’s not Open Source / Free Software and it’s also based on Blink, like all Chromium browsers.

Not really sure about its selling points, but supporting Google’s grip on web standards seems to clash with the statement of openness in this advertisement.

It working again after cooling down is an indication for heat creep IMHO. The filament is getting too hot up to where the gears are, causing them to slip and not feed filament.

If we are being fair, they are still reasonably fair to users. Open source gaming is not a reality.

They don’t force you to use Steam, but still work on Proton as Open Source. They don’t lock down their hardware.

Apparently “STINKY” is the default StarLink SSID (Another Musk joke), so yeah…

You already got some good replies, but I still have something to add:

It is extremely unlikely you will permanently brick your laptop. The realistically worst thing to happen is that you end up without any working OS, be it Windows or Linux. If you can get help you will be able to install Windows again (not that hard though to do by yourself).

Second thing is that Linux installers usually come with a live environment. That means that your windows installation is absolutely safe while Mint runs from your USB. You can then do some browsing or play around with Mint before deciding to install it permanently.

No do the rest.

Apple already lost in the EU and need to allow other app stores

What do you mean? rustfmt is the de facto standard and is easily run using cargo fmt. Most projects use it along with clippy, the standard linter.

Recently tried biome for a web project. It’s a combined linter and formatter, and it’s so good. Compatible with prettier too.
