How does XFCE compare to KDE and GNOME? Also, does it has all the nice window snapping features that I'm used to fron Windows?

I am saying this as a very long time Windows user, and it saddens me. Politics aside, from a pure technichal, functional, privacy and UX perspective, the case for changing over from Windows to Linux is getting stronger by the day.

I'm actually fascinated by what you wrote. Why was it a dark time?

I have plenty of domain experience but I won't define myself as an expert. It helped me solve real business problems.

Opus 4.6 (high) is doing for me things that i don't know to do myself. Moreover, I don't understand enough what it did after it did it. But it works. The domain is automated debugging and RE.

It is my understanding that actually for Mac one is "forced" to install many 3rd party tools to get features that in Windows are considered basic, for example window auto snapping.

The DVD+RW actually used pencil and eraser technology instead. It was a surprisingly robust method.

That story about your Otolaryngologist is insane. It's sad how many times doctors don't really listen to their patients and throw out there generic advice that is harmful.

So hold on. The US taxpayer first paid the tariffs themselves. Next he has to pay compensation for the tariffs he himself paid?

Having customers delete all their data by mistake and then trying to recover it happens more often then you think. It has become common practice to soft delete at first. Usually 30 days later a hard delete is performed.

Can anyone provide their opinion of Ghidra vs Ida? Is Ida worth the extra money?

I'm a bit confused by the comparison between Windsurf and Antigravity. I thought Google got involved with Windsurf, and now Antigravity is essentially the next version of Windsurf.
