I now imagine the machine long time doing nothing and then spitting out "This is taking too long, i am going home!".

So you are exempt from the laws of physics?

So you believe, that if you would rewind time to a specific choice you made, you would be able to make a different choice, even though your brain and your surroundings are in the exact same state as before? Or do you believe your choices to be originating from somewhere else than your brain?

Optional first class for higher price could be used for this.

My experience exactly. Caffeine turns "I am tired and can't concentrate" into "I am awake and can't concentrate" for me.

No problem, quality will continue to degrade, until you will be happy to switch.

Also the placebo effect is harder to tackle in this instance as people are often able to tell if they actually got psilocybin administered or not.

Hey, I'd like to help here with some clarification: the vulnerability affected winrar, not the RAR archive format. In fact, it happened when opening zip files, not rar files.

7zip is not only capable of extracting 7z archives, but also zip and rar. Thus using 7zip to open a malicious archive would prevent you from being a victim of said attack, which is what the previous author meant.

So you wouldn't need to change the archive format of your existing files, as this was only about not using winrar to open possibly malicious archives.

You will be delighted to read about Evil mode, which is a vim-like editor for the Emacs operating system. 😁

Emacs will be there for you, once vscode gets abandoned.

Yeah sure, i use Emacs to code. In evil mode. A lot of Emacs users use it to code. Why would you think otherwise?

Fuck them. I hope everyone for whom it is feasible switches to something like Godot.

Finally! I hope the encryption will get an audit in the near future. 🙂

I can switch without rebooting, so I may change my mind several times a day. I actually boot without gui by default and then start sway by hand. Usually after starting updates in a terminal multiplexer.

Knowing that it originates from bcache probably helps to prevent this confusion.

May IPv4 just die.

Interesting, I don't know much about current windows, so this did not cross my mind. But you have to install a separate OS for this and can't just decide to stop your display manager I guess? So playing games and running without GUI would require to different installations?

• boot from a btrfs snapshot
• run docker without running a second kernel
• boot an older kernel, in case something fails
• run the system completely without a gui, to save video RAM for other tasks
• distro hopping
• use multiple desktop environments
• use your computer without a mouse
• create a directory named CON
• use old hardware painlessly
• have your system not spy on you without extra effort
• create weird stacks of software raid, volume manager, disk encryption and filesystems and then boot from it
• read the kernel developer mailing list and be hyped for new kernel features like bcachefs, which will hopefully come someday

I am glad you asked. You can just buy a laptop with linux on it: https://linuxpreloaded.com/

Oh, not Minix?
