Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux

Yes, but by doing it once you can install it on any distro. Many Linux app developers nowadays prefer approaches like Flatpak because it's actually less effort in the end. This way you don't need to support every distro and therefore don't complaints like xy doesn't work on Distro z. I can't post links but see the "Building your first Flatpak" page to get started. I don't have experience with Pascal but if you look around Flathub there might already apps made with it to help you getting started

OpenAI’s Hidden Weakness Everyone treats OpenAI as untouchable — the intelligence layer of the entire industry. Since late 2022, nearly every wrapper, agent, and productivity tool has stood on their shoulders. They built the strongest model. They had the earliest lead. No one has reshaped the market more. And yet, they’re exposed. Their dominance depends on distribution — and distribution comes from the very wrappers everyone dismisses. All those SaaS tools built on top of GPT-4? They’re not

The state of Oregon, which has long struggled with one of the worst drug-addiction crises in the US, last year announced $20m in grants to help connect people to substance-use services. The funds, the governor and lawmakers said, would go to counties to support a “treatment first” approach, encouraging jurisdictions to get drug users into recovery programs, instead of arresting and jailing them. Some local governments, however, have spent the taxpayer-funded grants to beef up law enforcement.

A typical quantity to look at the so-called "compactness" \(M/R\) with \(M\) mass of a source and \(R\) its linear dimension. Note that in natural units (\(G=c=1\) typically used to simplify the formalism in GR), this is a dimensionless number. For low values of \(M/R\), General Relativity reduces to Newtonian gravity – as it should being an extension of
