There are actually studies that show intelligence and more explicit language go hand-in-hand, so it's actually the opposite of your presumption. When I find it, I'll link the study here in a comment edit.

Oh....huh.....I didn't even know we had cake days on Lemmy. Haha. Thanks.

IPv6 should be the preferred option. It's the same on Windows and MacOS.

If you have IPv6 issues, just turn off IPv6 on the adapter you're using.

Calling it a "Fischer Price" distro is a little patronizing. I'm a seasoned Linux user and I use Mint for work because I just want something that works when my paycheck is on the line. Mint has never broken on me and always works.

It's not really fair to talk about SteamOS 2 and compare it to 3. The original concept tried console gaming and failed, because it was banking on devs porting games to native Linux. With Proton, things are a very different beast.

Windows is unlikely to be unthroned from gaming king, but Linux has grown quarter over quarter and Valve very clearly is expanding into multiple partners with Lenovo's new SteamOS handheld.

Having a competitor in this space will hopefully get Microsoft to stop being complacent.

That's Russia and China in a nutshell. Trump does it too, but that's just because he's mimicking daddy Putin.

The American war machine was getting light pocketbooks. Gotta start another conflict.

Yup. I had to break this habit with my Mother-in-Law. She would park her car at home and not plug it in, then get range anxiety after a few days of that.

I printed and laminated a "Did you plug your car in?" and put it beneath her alarm panel, so when she armed it at night she'd remember to go plug it in, if she forgot when she got home.

Yeah even 20 amps at 230V is way less intense and is a good middle ground.

I used one of these cheap plugs for installing my MIL's EV charger before I heard of the issues. However, It's been fine because I under-utilized it due to the continuous load. I'm using it on a 40 amp circuit (code allows for this, as there is no 40 amp receptacle, so these plugs are allowed in this situation) with a 40 amp breaker and the charger is set to "40 amps", which is really 32 amps, via dip switches, so it's drawing 80% of 80% of 50 amps.

Given the problems I've heard, though, I might just change it up and just hard wire it, even if I'm almost certainly fine anyway.

Almost nobody actually needs a 50 amp charger, unless you're driving something like a Hummer EV. As long as you're charging at 230V, a 15-20 amp draw is PLENTY for 99% of situations. Even at that lower amperage, most cars would charge from close to dead to 100% in less than 12 hours and the majority of people only discharge above 60-70% on their daily commute. Even a 110V 15 amp outlet can handle charging that overnight.

It's part of the strategy. Keep people's heads spinning and see what sticks. Even if one or two things survive, it pushes everything towards their goal.

Most Americans might be against him, but the majority of those that voted voted for him. People's apathy and the DNC continually being useless helped Trump win.

SteamOS scares the shit out of them, though, given that they're creating a "competitor".

Never say never. There are actually several areas where I've seen fiber build out from government grants.

That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

It does have some excellent use cases. Asbestos tile was probably everywhere you walked in school, is extremely durable, and perfectly safe (unless you cut it with a saw). My house is covered in asbestos siding and is basically unphased in appearance since it was installed in 1964 by the Texas sun.

However, any situation where it can cause it to be airborne, such as brake pads, insulation, etc. is no bueno. It's a kind of incredible material IN VERY SPECIFIC USE CASES.

Like most materials science, there are tradeoffs. R22 was a great refrigerant compared to R410a or the newer R32 that required way less pressure to be effective, but it also burned holes in the atmosphere, hence it isn't used anymore. Asbestos is an incredible material, but so is flurooantiminic acid and I wouldn't want it anywhere near me.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

To be clear here: This is reversing a ban on ONE type of asbestos that's often used in automotive parts (such as brake pads). They're not advocating for us to bring it back for things like loose fill insulation, building materials, etc.

Also, to be clear: It's still stupid and likely a combination of Russia being the largest producer of Asbestos and/or Trump having an obsession with overturning Biden-era rulings.

I'll bet if you answer that you don't have social media, you get immediately disqualified.

I'd rather not fuck him, thanks. There are enough wives/baby mamas who have done that at this point.

It was a streamed app you could get from web sites and stuff. It was stupid and made little sense.
