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?

Comparing source code sizes is completely meaningless. Rust projects are usually smaller with far more granular dependencies.

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 is.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

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.

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

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.

Here’s a list of phones I used; Anyway, go buy the new Pixel 9.

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

… Or other investiture

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.
