  • I declare war on this hill!

    • Peak windows was Windows 7 in both design and Function. It was pinnacle User Experience of a traditional OS before Microsoft started chasing fads, (Touchscreens in Windows 8, Cloud integration in Windows 10, and now AI bullshit in Windows 11)
    • No opinion on macOS. My only complaint is that its not linux.
    • Instead of Flatpak I would replace that with AppImages. At least with Flatpak I get some semblance of the SW Integrating with my DE and a semblance of a package manager. AppImages I feel like are like rolling the dice on how much effort the dev put into it.
  • Does anyone know what the heck is going on now? I mean on one hand, wouldn’t this mean we would need to strengthen our alliances with other countries so groups such as NATO can claim global dominance rather than a singular country such as the USA? On the other hand wouldn’t we need to do literally a 180 on our global policies on trade, immigration, and military might?

    Like I got no idea whats going on.

  • You know…. now that you mention it. Why didn’t the empire launch an orbital bombardment on Hoth. Or at the very least land artillery to shell the trenches? Plus they totally had the Tie fighters to run interference on the evacuation since planetary space was uncontested.

  • I am desperately trying to be positive in a really bleak situation. But……

    Maybe this is the 5D Master class Chinese Checkers move by the administration? Make the EU the primary regulatory source for medical trials and set the bar here in the USA by saying its FDA approved if it is already EU approved? Then boom cheaper drug prices for Americans and more expensive drug prices for the EU?

    Again, most likely not the case but I really need some optimism at this point.

  • Lets also not forget that this was not a “surprise” oversight visit. I read somewhere, that the mayor Ras Baraka in person handed a letter of intention to conduct an oversight visit a week or two before hand. That part stuck out to me because he hand delivered the notice in person so that there was no uncertainty that they received the letter and to expect his visit.

  • Nah, just let him use it for whatever and whenever. Hell, just let him use it as is if he is impatient to fly in it.

    When it turns out to be a massive liability to everyone on board. I am only seeing win-win scenarios with minor collateral damage in worst case scenarios.

  • Disclaimer: If you want to explore window managers then go ham! Linux is all about exploration.

    Now, If you think the grass might be greener on a different desktop manager then stick with gnome. By no means am I saying Gnome is the best, but its more of a situation where it will devolve into the quirks you know vs the quirks you don’t know situation.

    Personal Antidote, I started with Gnome and used Gnome for years. Got curious and started jumping around I tried KDE, I3W, XFCE, Pure X, Etc. There were things I liked about each one of them but the quirks of each deviating from my expectations coming from gnome was too much and I ended up sticking with gnome.

    That being said, out of necessity due to system constraints I run XFCE when I need a light weight DE. A close second in that realm is LXDE But I don’t like its default aesthetic nor do I feel like customizing it since I do most of my computing in a terminal.

  • 6 - Drugs

    IDK Its weird how a lot of rich and powerful are all closet drug addicts. Like you got the funds and resources to turn your self into an Adonis amongst people. You got the funds to go skydiving daily, flying in experimental aircraft, learning how to do some James Bond level driving maneuvers, or train to go all John Wick on a shooting course. Yet a lot go, “hold my beer gonna get some nose candy”

    Like come on, am I missing something or are these people terribly boring? Where are the mega wealthy ones that wake up to have breakfast in a hot air ballon, followed by Horse Polo, followed by fencing lessons from an olympic champion?

  • I mean say what you want, but thats legit how new tech is being developed right now. My favorite book is Cryptonomicon. It came out in 1999, But the premise was that the main characters were going to build a currency backed on cryptography. There was even a side story in the book where one of the man characters is looking for a specific investor who is obsessed with trading cards. The main character sells the investor on the idea by saying how the technology could easily be adapted for distributing digital trading cards.

    The dude basically predicted Bitcoins and the rise of NFTs in 1999.

  • Lol, Interestingly enough. The hacker who steals the book realizes that each copy he makes can’t have a ractor so he substitutes it with a computer generated voice. I distinctly recall him acknowledging that it’s not as personal as a ractor but is adequate enough for the purpose.

  • Everyday we get closer to the book The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson where the main character has stolen from him a book he created called, “A Young Ladies Illustrated Primer” The thief turns out to be a hacker and mass produces copies of the book for orphans.

    The book itself is an AI that assess the users surroundings and intelligence level before creating stories that are relevant to the user that also educates them.

    I can see this being a net positive if done correctly. But I don’t think the tech is there yet.

  • Are you talking about an ERP system like SAP? If so it’s all about data collection of business operations. Sure you make some no brainer decisions to do things that are practical but it always devolves into “how much did this improve the bottom line?” You start to get data on what business has the highest margins in sales and what products are proving to be a PITA to the bottom line due to customer support eating through labor.

    spreadsheets are good but you start hitting walls when the company expands. Suddenly Purchasing managers are making entries to a file, but simultaneously works in production are changing the same file to reflect what they consumed in production. You then start auditing things and don’t know what the QTY row numbers mean. Is that actual inventory? Is that a mix of inventory on order? does this reflect what the production consumed today? if so when?

    It gets messy without the right tools when the company scales.
