Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.

You been drinking some absinthe or smoking the ganja-weed?

Or just straight up snorting Flakka

Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

That was the secondary plot of Fallout 3 too right?

I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.

I’m the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,

I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.

So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.

And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I’m not impressed by what I’ve seen, at all.

Well, TikTok can’t get any worse, right?

Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.

If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.

Even as far back as XP/Vista Microsoft has wanted to run the file system as more of an adaptive database than a classical hierarchical file system.

The leaked beta for Vista had this included and it ran like absolute shit, mostly because harddrives are slow and ram was at a premium, especially in Vista as it was such a bloated piece or shit.

NTFS has since evolved to include more and more of these “smart” file system components.

Now they want to go full on with this “smart” approach to the filesystem.

It’ll still be slow and shit, just like it was 2 decades ago.

This seems to be a genetic thing too.

In my family there’s my great gran, her two sons, the oldests daughter and me and my sister who all have that issue.

Over here, DPD is the outfit that seems to underbid everyone, maintains their own collection points and then delivers with the worst service humanly possible.

They also use a ton of subcontractors that are outright thieves.

And when they get caught stealing, all DPD does is assign them a different route and they’ll only breach their contract if they actually go to jail for the theft, not for the theft itself, but because they can’t work.

And when they are assigned a different route, there’s a good chance they fill in for their old routes within the month and are right back at your doorstep, not actually delivering your packages again.

Computer store near me caught one driver 4 times in a span of 2 months, the thefts totaled well into the 20K (shitload of GPUs, iPads and other tablets) to then have that same driver show up at his store again 3 months later AND FUCKING STEALING AGAIN.

I mentioned the movies that gave me those particular movie induced phobia.

The Thing and The Blob

That’s how, to this day, I have anxiety performing CPR, even for certification (which is done on a dummy) and pull out the industrial grade draino whenever a drain is even suspected of being clogged.

Watching The Thing and The Blob before you’re 10, not the best for your mental health.

Pretty much this.

I’ve become so jaded with people in general I can’t be arsed bothering with what anyone but my wife and mother think of me, do to me or say to me.

(my dog and cat too tbh)

Scheduling power plant maintenance during winter in a country where it gets that cold seems a tad, uhm, insane?

Besides that, mrna tech started to be developed in the 1970’s with the first labrat trials in the late 80’s or early 90’s.

Clinical trials on humans, to test their safety and effectiveness in combating various diseases and viruses have been ongoing for the past decade.

And as you said, the first several widely used vaccines based on mrna tech have been deployed to literally billions of people.

This is an incredibly gigantic sample size for data and there have been very few issues for the past 3 years.

And what bernieecclestoned brings up about herd immunity simply means the people they are talking to are, like most antivaxxers, blithering idiots that know some catch phrases and not a single meaning behind them.

You only obtain herd immunity with minimal casualties through hardening the herd with vaccines and then hope the immune systems of the herd adjust to further combat the disease. If data doesn’t show that new variants are easily countered by the immune systems of the herd, you know you need to develop more vaccines.

If you try to obtain herd immunity by letting a brand new disease like COVID run its course, you will probably obtain it eventually, but instead of 7 million dead worldwide (and lord knows how many with long covid or other long term disabilities due to the disease), you’ll have 70 million or more.

Herd immunity doesn’t mean you should just let shit hit the fan and see who’s left standing. If you miscalculate the severity of the disease, you can have another situation like with the plague where it killed over 25 million out of the 180 million people on earth.

In todays numbers that would mean like 1.1 billion people die. Probably far more since we’re extremely more connected than people were in 400AD.

And you’d think that the better general healthcare and hygiene these days would lessen it, but the sheer increase in how we’re connected would easily wipe that advantage off the board.

There’s microphones and even cameras in many of these TVs.

Yeah, that’s why I’ve come to just pay the premium for professional displays instead of consumer TVs.

Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.

I’ve had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.

Yeah, people were subtle like saying “can’t hear you well, there’s other audio coming through”. At which point he’d usually turn down the volume, but you could still hear it.

But it was the fact it was persistent, across years.

And, well, he was a great tank, if watching or listening to porn during a raid is what’s needed for him to do his job well, I’ll let em.

But that doesn’t make it any less weird and awkward.
