Don’t DM me unless you’re asking about linux or my art please
The only difference in high score vs low score on an IQ test Imo is the ability to recognize that one is truly foolish and knows nothing. As I say that I realize that accepting you don’t know everything is actually a great way to encourage yourself to learn more hence improving effective intelligence… Maybe its not all Bullshit?
I live in a smallish town with decent public transport in the US. Free, highly reliable busses that go to nearly every part of town and a couple of the connected suburbs as well. The locals hate it, I guess they’re still mad it messed up traffic? Idk I just tell them if they hate the traffic so much use the free bus that is supposedly making their life so much harder.
This is abnormal in the US, having decent public transport. Its basically only available in MAJOR metro areas like NYC, LA, Seattle, Chicago. Most of the country barely has functional public transport, let alone reliable.
Discs**
Disks continue to be the most efficient way to store bonkers amounts of data.
Disks refers to magnetic storage or solid state flash storage.
Discs refers to optical media.
While optical is still king for physical distribution of media to the masses due to its low cost of production, the rise of streaming will certainly be the thing that rips physical ownership from the hands of the people.
Dont stop buying DVDs or Blurays
The will repair it with flex seal of course
Note to self - automotive mechanics may be lemurs, High voltage electricians certainly are
In 2004 grandpa gave me an old laptop from 1995 to play around with. I wanted it to be faster so I tried using g.ho.st. That was a terrible experience, too slow of internet, cloud computing was never gonna work. After that I tried suse. They had this fancy iso builder at the time that let me pick all the packages I want from the repo and have them present on my ISO.
That’s started my journey, outside of school I’ve had Linux exclusively since.
Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.
The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.
I’ve never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That’s experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I’ll make my own someday. Maybe I’ll get a Pebble now that they’re back-ish. I’ll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.
If you’re using an Arch Based distribution and have access to a USB keyboard so you can use standard HID drivers during setup you should be able to follow along on this wiki to use the software included in the ASUS Linux stack. It appears they have some nonsense going on. Tbh I didn’t know about this until looking just now and I’m gonna be going through here and getting the tools I need since I’ve got an ROG mobo I think would benefit
What laptop model?
I’m not a fan of Gnome, they consistently have made questionable choices in my eyes since they shifted to their touch oriented layout circa 2010ish. While I personally dislike the software, I recognize its merit and that for many its the right choice. This is to say, the Following is NOT blind gnome hate. Additionally, I love systemd, I understand the philosophical issues with it, idgaf I like it.
This is bad. Like, big bad bad. The reason systemd is objectively fine as a monolithic giant Swiss army knife of software is because if people don’t want to use it they can replace it with something else. This move would require custom forks, moving forward, of gnome to retain interoperability with runit or with init, or with any selfspun init system.
The reason systemd isn’t a bad thing is that people don’t have to use it. This takes that choice away from anyone wanting to stay on gnome.
(I am a 20+ year Linux user and fan of systemd)
Spy all you want Agent Hisense of the Roku org, I’ve got you in a black box. Your communications have been cut! You’ll never report back to HQ now!
Sorry y’all, that was me trying to update my jellyfin metadata
I have long believed violence is the language of those who’s voices have been stolen. Take that however you will.
That’s why mine is slow 😬, I have 3 SSDs and 2 (ancient) HDDs tied into a 5TB lvm array.
It’s cursed ™️
More RAM doesn’t necessarily mean more faster. I’ve got a 64 gig kit in my c2021 ryzen build and it’s dog slow. It’s also my server but that’s not an excuse.
The p is for potential, as in potential Hydrogen. pH can be used to establish a concentration of protium (H+) in solution. When learning about pH in school, we used pOH (potential hydroxide) as well to speak about bases.
Does it also block Facebook’s newly publicized “localhost tracking”? I’m not familiar with how it works, just that it worms its way around most other tracking blocks.
Becky pls, I showed you my tail
Hey friend you know the chemicals they make those things from are like WILDLY carconogenic right? And that PFAs and their cousins last forever and don’t break down in the environment?
These chemicals are being banned because humans got too good at making super stable fuck-you-big molecules that just so happen to be wildly incompatible with anything that has DNA. These chemicals are literally everywhere with water treatment facilities having acceptable limits 2ppb or less. Yea, B, Billon. The thing with that amount though, is even THAT isn’t safe, its just regulable. Here’s an oversimplified video on the subject by Veritasium, the clickbait headline is just that. I believe this is also on nebula if you’d prefer to avoid youtube.
