what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

I started with PowerPPC back in the '90s (it did not even ship with a working X system). Then went to Debian a few years later, and it was great. I played around with Gentoo for a little while when it first came out, then ended up back on Debian after a couple months. Then I played around with Arch for a little when it showed up, then went back to Debian. After that I just said fuck it, and have stuck with Debian. I run testing/unstable unless it's some side server I have, in that case I just run stable. I hear good things about OpenSUSE and Fedora, but at this point I'm old and don't feel like trying something when I have no issues. Tiling WM and Vim. That's about all I seem to need.

This is what most of the schools around my area installed a couple years ago:

BeOS on my old PowerPC blew my mind in the late 90s.

Remember when gov't banned Furbies (sp?) in some places? Seems like they would make the same decision for a lot of people in important positions regarding their car purchasing.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I guess when/if I buy another car, I'll look into gov't fleet auctions.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

That was the only thing that popped out to me.

Old crew checking in. I still call it dope, and get side eyed for it.

DARE came to my HS in the mid-late 80s. A cop was standing at a table with various things on it. One of which was a big bag of weed. I said,"Damn! That's a big bag of weed!" The cop replied, totally seriously,"THAT'S ENOUGH WEED TO KILL YOU!!!" My friends and I just laughed and walked away.

Just Doctorow's enshitification in action.

I'm OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov't for a handout, the gov't should just tax them correctly and say,"No you."

sin_free_for_00_days ,

That was hilarious.

The info you enter is directly added to OpenStreetMap in your name

I try to minimize "my name" being out there.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Well that makes more sense. I saw that quote and just noped out. I'll see if anything is questioned in my area.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Could have just said "billionaire". The arrogant and above the law are a given.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

The US just can't seem to get its act together. And the near/mid-term isn't looking better.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

That's fair. Can't seem to build big things either. Or maintain what we have. High speed rail. Roads and Bridges. Basically all infrastructure. And of course the major issues that hold back the entire society. Cost of education, healthcare, housing, transportation. These are all reasons for my statement that we can't get our shit together. Aside from not being able to efficiently build cheap electronic consumer goods.

I wish they wouldn't advertise days of battery life, when their "day" is 1/2 an hour. Just say how many hours the battery will run. The math for how long it'll run for my use is not rocket science. It's good to see color E Ink in a reasonable price range. I think I'll wait for the size to increase while staying affordable.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I don't think you'll get anything that is a real drop in for Partiful.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Sounds interesting. I'd imagine it would make it easier to seal off the electronics and have a drink-proof keyboard.

...and then blame the unused umbrellas.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I have to agree 100%. The slavish devotion of small brained regressive idiots to base 12 time keeping has bugged me for fucking ever. Swatch solved this decades ago, but people are too stuck in their "But this is what we've always used" bullshit mindset.

Bread knives are no joke. It can surprise finding something designed for bread so efficiently cuts meat. I expected the cut to be worse, but then I checked the sub name and realized this is a perfect post for the sub. Well done.

If Boeing stock drops another $30 or so, I'm going to have to buy some.

They're the airplane manufacturer in the US at that scale. There is zero chance the gov't will let them fail.

If you're taking that shitty truck, from early reports, you aren't going to anywhere hardcore. Maybe the park down the street.

My last employer had several thousand employees. Some of the IT guys knew Linux, but it wasn't anywhere in the organization. I managed to convince them to let me install Linux on my desktop. They said sure, with the provision that I was not allowed to have a single issue. If I had an issue, they'd format it back. It was a fantastic last 8-9 years at work, as far as computer use went.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Yeah, it's a symptom of the disease. More time to mountain bike I guess. Also, kind of interesting timing. Parts of the Sierra Madre is getting over 3 meters of snow as I type this.

I read somewhere that with the Hindinburg, the hydrogen pretty much just went straight up, while most of the deaths and burns were caused by the fuel for the engines.

Thanks, that was my first thought.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

That was my first thought. Dude that had the surgery seeing this and just thinking,"What the fuck, man?"

sin_free_for_00_days ,

This is an idea I had never even thought about before. I like it. I'm going to ponder it for a few days in my slow way.

I'm pretty sure there are a couple motorcycle helmets out there with a built in HUD. There are after market ones that you can add to your existing helmet that seem pretty cool to.

Oh man, I had not thought about the time Republicans thought they'd just shoot the Chinese Ballon out of the sky in many months.

From the little I could read before the paywall, he could be guilty as hell. Or not.

I was wondering what happened. I only had an auto-redirect to nitter for when friends would send me something. I just say that the link doesn't work for me now. No real loss for me.

Here's an article about it. The tl;dr is: test pilot shoots at ocean, kicks in afterburners, bullets start out faster, but slow quickly. They reunite in mid-air and sparks fly.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

He shot the bullets, then tilted down a little more and hit his afterburners. He had to pull up so not to continue on to a salty grave and his parabolic trajectory and the bullets surprised each other. So, a pinch of the bullets slowing significantly and a sprinkle of the plane speeding up.

create new product categories

I'm wondering what they are. The Newton was kind of cool, but before it's time. mp3 players had been out for years before Apple jumped on the bandwagon. Same with phones. I hope this doesn't come across as snarky "fuck apple", I'm genuinely curious.

Since I first saw a picture of the thing I thought it was ugly as hell. Last week I saw one in real life and I have to say, it's even uglier than I thought it was. And it really looks like it could have been an '80s era crappy kit car for a full size truck chassis. I mean, strikingly ugly and stupid looking. Embarrassingly so.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Damn. The number of unhinged wingers on that thread is too high. Even with nitter, that site sucks.

There sure was a lot less trash when the web first came to the internet and there weren't any paid sites. Of course there was a lot less everything.

OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion (decrypt.co)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including from the United Arab Emirates, to raise between $5 trillion to $7 trillion in funding. The goal, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, is to increase the world's chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities....

The theory is solid, but in reality there's often abuse of these laws and suddenly you have Hollywood Accounting.

I'm old. These rates don't seem high at all. It's been higher for most of my life.

Oh, home ownership has been out of reach for me and everyone I know my age in my part of the country since before I graduated from University.

Maybe release the hostages and give up? Like what normally happens at the end of a war.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

So Hamas is using hospitals and civilians as shields. As they do. Hamas propaganda will release video of violence at said hospital and dumb ass college kids in the US will decry the evil of Israel, without any alternative suggestion other than holding hands and singing kumbaya.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

And before I know it, some dumb ass shows up, drunk off the propaganda and naive righteousness. No surprise.
