It might not necessarily be that the instances are stricter, it could also simply be that those instances are targeted more often by hate/trolls so interact with those instances more often. Admins are less likely to defederate from an instance they’ve never seen or heard of. I see a lot of obviously LGBT-related names in this list which likely get more hate than average.
This may have been true historically but I’m not sure it still holds up. I switched to Linux Mint as my regular OS a while back and the only driver issue I’ve had was that the installer didnt properly install my wifi card’s proprietary driver (which was working during live boot from usb), so I had to tether to my phone to download the driver through the driver manager. It even installed Nvidia drivers just fine.
It might still be an issue for more barebones or heavily customisable systems but I’m fairly certain nobody’s recommending people switch to Arch for their first Linux experience.
Swatch Internet Time (or .beat time) is a decimal time system introduced in 1998 by the Swatch corporation as part of their marketing campaign for their line of “.beat” watches.

You’d simply carve the names of all potential suitors into some pieces of cheese, then wait to see which one molded first. And there it was—your life partner!
Eating the results won’t always be a fun time, but I suppose there’s bond to be risks when trying to change your fate.
Wtf is British English, England is in Britain.
This is the fifth version of D&D, released a few years ago I believe
Nearly a decade now, 5e core rulebooks were all released in 2014.
Compiler optimisations don’t apply when you’re breaking the rules of the language. It won’t compile.
That’s because they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive. The function is being called twice so there’s no way to guarantee the result will be the same both times without knowing what it does under the hood.
Consider a case where isalpha performs a coin flip, 50% chance each call to return true. The first call returns false so the first condition fails, then the second call returns true so the second condition fails; in 25% of cases neither code block executes.
You could store the result of the first call in a local variable and reuse it if you really wanted to, but the smart solution is to either use if/else properly or switch to early returns instead.
The UK is only UTC+0 for half the year, currently at UTC+1.
I feel like someone not releasing anything but squatting IP rights for 13 years is a poor argument for longer copyright terms.
