This is kind of an offtopic question, but regardless: Is there any application written in smalltalk in the debian repository? (or any other linux distro)

Bitcoin's energy use will tend to raise to match the mining profits. As long as both BTC's price and transaction fees keep raising, the energy miners spend will continue to raise. BTC's price is going up due to speculation, and transaction fees due to blocks being full.

In my experience, a misbehaving linux system that's out of RAM and has swap to spare will be unusably slow. The process of switching to a tty, logging in, and killing whatever the offending process is can easily take a good 15 minutes. Xorg will just freeze. Oh, and hopefully you know what process it is, else good luck running `top`.

Until this is fixed, I'll just keep running my systems with very small amounts of swap (say, 512MB in a system with 16GB of RAM). I'd rather the OOM killer kick in than have to REISUB or hold down the power button.

Some benchmarks with regards to the performance claims would be nice.

AMP, that thing you have never seen in the wild if you run firefox on your phone.

IANAL, but I think you can't infringe copyright if you are not distributing anything. OCR is not distribution.

If signal users can be counted on one hand, people using gpg can be counted on a finger.

Isn't sdl2 a lot smaller than qt5?

Shouldn't apache have been running under the "apache" user instead of root?

There is the issue of the account. Whatsapp and Telegram are free (signal too?) and require 0 setup. With Conversations, you either have to pay for a conversations.im account, or open your browser and register on another server. I certainly can't imagine my grandmother doing that.
