Arch Wiki for more general info. Official docs/man pages of whatever thing you are working with for details.

Removing orphaned dependencies every once in a while is a good idea. If these were installed as dependencies and are not dependencies anymore, this would get rid of them.

Greatly increasing taxes for the super wealthy and closing tax loopholes would be a good start.

With rootless containers, even root in the container is basically useless anyway because it truly runs as a fake ID on the host.

I've seen this repeated a lot, but I'm not really convinced running as root inside containers is a good/safe thing to do. User namespaces can provide some protection for the host, but that does nothing for the rest of the files inside the guest. For example, consider a server software with an arbitrary file write vulnerability. If the process is running as a low privilege user, exploiting the vulnerability might not really get you anywhere. If it's running as root, it's basically a free pass to root privilege and arbitrary code execution within the container.

H264 does work fine in the paid version. The lack of AAC support is sometimes an issue though. For footage in AAC+H264, I usually just run it through ffmpeg to transcode the audio to PCM and keep the video as-is.

Honestly, I think his communication here is fine. He's probably going to offend some people at NIST, but it seems like he's already tried the cooperative route and is now willing to burn some bridges to bring things to light.

It reads like he's playing mathematics and not politics, which is exactly what you want from a cryptography researcher.

They aren't accommodating the gambling industry. It's a bug fix for a media player issue. The text in the changelog comes from the bug report title. The bug isn't specific to that site, and neither is the fix.

If there is high voltage present anywhere in your guitar, it's a serious issue with your amp. There are high voltages present within a tube amp, but the amp isolates those from the input jack. The guitar itself only generates a tiny audio signal.

You need to install the CUDA package to use Nvidia GPUs in blender. This is in the arch wiki page for blender.

I think they already have. I held off on Wayland on my main machine for a long time due to Nvidia issues. For example, I was getting rendering issues where some windows/popups would be totally invisible until I moused over them. Those issues are now gone, and I've been running Wayland for the last few months with no problems at all.

Aside from the geometry nodes suggestion (which is a good one), have you looked into QGIS?
