Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)

Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.

I had a Brother printer, the costs were prohibitive. For over a decade now buy discarded office laserjet printers, chunky as hell, but for 100€ you get tens of thousands of pages out of them. And for those 100€, often a duplex unit is included. Am currently on my 2nd printer over 15 years.

Sounds like “screen”? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

I think that’s a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)

I think the Ryzen CPU just gives more bang for the buck, as well considering purchase price as energy consumption. That’s not Linux related, but I think Linux users generally tend to care less about “market leader”, sometimes even as far as consciously supporting the underdog.

By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn’t do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn’t be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?

If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn’t even have to know about it.
