I don't know why you didn't just fund NASA properly.

Mfs think they're in Watchmen, but it's Birth of a Nation instead.

I can definitely believe this on low power machines.

I got a N150 Mini PC the other week, and it comes with Win 11. It thrashed around at 100% CPU doing updates and virus checks and fuck knows what other background tasks Windows considers more essential than whatever I tell it to do. Case was red hot.

So I popped the latest Ubuntu on it. Is it perfect? No. I had to mess around with Firefox "snap" for ages and type arcane commands to make it find the N150's tiny GPU. And it still can't play videos using the hardware. But other than that, it just works, just the bare essentials, and then gets out the way. Sits at about 2% CPU use when idle.

MS seriously need to cut bloat.

It's almost as if we need a nationwide GPS driven speed limit detection system, rather than relying on some crappy cameras.

That way manual drivers can be warned if they're exceeding the limit as well.

Good thing she wasn't a boy. They were going to name them Rodney, after Dave.

Pretty sure most people are just looking forward to Windows no longer begging to reboot or just doing it when you turn your back for two seconds.

I don't get how Apple has to open their shit up (although they're certainly dragging their heels over it and sulking like a toddler) but Sony, MS and Nintendo don't.

The real divisive question is where is the cheese? And I'll try to remain as neutral here as possible.

Do you melt it onto the bread, providing a protective layer and preventing the bread from absorbing too much bean juice, or do you put it on top the beans, like a psychopathic dog molester?

Seems an own goal. It's not like it was going to pass anyway, since every single republican unsurprisingly turned it down.

But are your customers on Lyft? It's no good getting 10% more per journey if you're doing half as many of them.

I assume most taxi drivers are on as many services as they can cram onto their phones anyway, hoping to cherry-pick any decent jobs.

Yeah, but Uber's shareprices are through the roof. That's their real customer, and the same for any company with shareholders by law.

"The bean counters said we could literally not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Did it anyway! Ground 'em up, mixed 'em into a gel. And guess what? Ground-up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill."

Hence item number 1 on his list.

I've been through two smart phones, and both of them were down to eventual battery issues and randomly powering off at (allegedly) 30% remaining battery when you fire up the camera or something.

Until they distro hop back to Windows because they just want shit to work.

Palestine Action banned.

Action for Palestine and People's Palestine Action are accepting new members.

Don't join Popular Palestine Action though. Splitter.

So it emulates a standard BMW driver. Well done.

Duh. They don't all know each other and get along just because they're Muslims.

The fucking opposite, in fact...

Very strange to hear the truth come out of that mouth.

I think he needs a reboot.

Stop the war. No more bombs.

Oh, sorry, there should have been some punctuation in there.

Stop the war? No, more bombs!

Oh man, I thought he had that in the bag too.
