listic··on Ubuntu 17.10: Return of the Gnome
I can think of having to ship in time for a "test run" 17.10 release (the one before the 18.04 LTS) as the only justification. I hope it will be worth it and they will be able to prepare 18.04 LTS all the better because of that. You don't have to update the OS every 6 months, anyway.
listic··on Ubuntu 17.10: Return of the Gnome
Can we still use 32-bit Ubuntu? Is it just 32-bit iso that has been discontinued?

I find it dodgy to discontinue 32-bit Ubuntu, as I remember it has been promised to exist until 18.04.

listic··on Ubuntu 17.10: Return of the Gnome
I hope feature parity with the Unity Ubuntu is a priority. https://youtu.be/gdX606Hjt04?t=5m24s

I'm not talking about voice calling tremendously simplifying meetups, since this is not a smartphone feature. But how about navigation? I really wouldn't like to go back to the time without navigation.

Just what kind of roads is this kind of car made to drive on? I mean the clearance.
listic··on Replacing exploit-ridden firmware with a Linux kernel [pdf]
Why is compiling on demand more auditable than just having open source BIOS?
listic··on Replacing exploit-ridden firmware with a Linux kernel [pdf]
Compiling on demand is cool, but why is it needed?
listic··on An alternative to burial and cremation gains popularity
I wonder why do the alternatives to burial pick up, while cryonics doesn't after all these years?

listic··on Evidence That Online Dating Is Changing Society
Online dating is not just Tinder, but also questionary-heavy sites like OkCupid. "Substance, not just selfies" is their current slogan.

I wonder how should I go about finding a service center/technician competent enough to do that for me?

Chromebooks are only big in the US.
listic··on The iPhones 8
I meant that it is said as if the iPhone X is the best phone, if you are willing to pay for it. But some people are only willing to deal with non-Plus sized phone, at most.
listic··on The iPhones 8
How about people who don't want a giant phone?
listic··on iOS Version Stats
How do you upgrade to 8 and not 9.3.5 (the latest one)?
listic··on iPhone X
It's rather the 6s one. Still, I hope they will upgrade it in future. Also, I'm sure they will release scaled-down version of the X in time; it's just easier/cheaper for them to release a bigger iPhone first.
listic··on ReactOS 0.4.6 released
I guess I should have bought a GeForce 9 series videocard instead of GeForce 10, as it's the last one having drivers for Windows XP. Might have worked with ReactOS.

listic··on Toward a Reasonably Secure Laptop
Looks like even Purism is not interested in certifying compatibility with Qubes anymore. That's sad.

Why would you even want to upgrade if you don't need the performance?
