As if microsoft ever tries to repro anything... Just refer them to some of the most clunkiest and convoluted sites ever, where it should say to just reboot three times and hope for the best.

Thanks for choosing the right wording! It's certainly one of the ways to read it. And it's also a good idea to sometimes search for a new matrix theory and then doing a re-watch. It is mindblowing how many different, sometimes completely crazy yet beautiful narratives the original trilogy can fit to, all while also being enjoyable as is without any.

Ah no, it's just that from reading this, I imagined it being poured outside, not inside the tower.

Like, someone looking at Galileo doing his experiments dropping weights off Pisa tower, and saying:

— What if we put a bucket underneath? What a splash it'd make!

And another one going:

— Yeah! And why just weights, let's throw molten lead off! What safety concerns? Haven't heard any

The problem is it's impossible to tell whether you're joking or being serious. Throwing molten metal off the tower sounds like the most ridiculous thing ever, but apparently is a real thing.

You must have good VPS's then. Mine are all lowendbox-level $2-3/mo ones. But, even though I don't have nor use either, I'm pretty sure that both reddit and netflix would tell you to get bent if you try to connect via ec2 or any other major cloud provider.

Also, free VPS's?? That a thing?

Even if you don't share the nodes, they know whether an ip belongs to a datacenter or not and so ban them preemptively. My IPs are all just mine and are clean as a whistle, but most of them are banned on lots of services anyway.

It's like the BDSM dynamic. Linux is sub, Apple is dom, and Microsoft is like a guy who calls himself dom, but is actually just a dick.

Does big tech want to control our minds with 5G towers and microchips hidden in covid vaccines

Oh they would like that though, it's just not techically feasible.

Me too. I remember putting a PXE loader on a floppy... and it being the best idea in that mess of a plan that I've had...

I just set up VFIO. I remember it being a total pain in the ass a few years ago, so I was expecting to spend a whole week debugging and tweaking. But, it was surprisingly easy. In just a couple hours I've got a windows 11 VM with it's own dedicated GPU up and running. And the next question that popped into my mind, that I'm yet to solve, is, "What now? What did I just do it for?". All the games I wanted to play now work on wine/proton, some even went out of their way to not work in a VM specifically. Yes, there are a couple pieces of shit software that I need windows for, but I'd rather keep trying and testing open source alternatives, maybe even participate in their development to the best of my ability, rather than maintaining a VM just for them.

No, lmao, but can't deny Russia has some nice things, even though by having those it is shooting itself in the foot. Like 2012 elections where they've basically said "Look, we have the entire election committee in the bag - еhey can draw us whatever results we want. But, let's try to legitimize those elections in the eyes of the people! Let's put a camera on every single polling station and let anyone watch them online, so that everyone can see how fair our elections are!". As you might imagine, during the election, all social medias got completely flooded by recordings of voting fraud... And yes, people instantly noticed that the price for those cameras was like 10x of their market value, with 90% of costs landing straight into government officials pockets...

Russia just did three day voting on friday, saturday and sunday to make sure that both 9-5 and 2 over 2 could have a day off to vote. The downside is that it was very expensive as the staff gotta be paid more than thrice the amount, it was very taxing on volunteer observers, and ultimately useless as they've made up whatever numbers they wanted using the unverifyable electronic voting in the end.

It would be. By ohm's law, I=V/R and R=V/I, so if V is fixed as V=1, then I=1/R, R=1/I, so it's is effectively the same thing, just measured in reverse.

Fridge uses 143W idle

The only thing running in idle is the timer and power led, which consume insignificant amounts of power. By my calculations, the average modern fridge does bursts of ~300W during compression and defrosting cycles, with ~40-50W consumption on average over long periods.

The Intergalactic Ninja Sultan of Revenue Development

I tell them to go fuck themselves. A more serious problem is that unless you sign up with a provider that has all of the encryption/verification stuff sorted out and a significant amount of outgoing mail, your messages will go straight to spam for everyone else.

I'd raise that to 24 hours, but you're right. I know two people like that. One just lets messages pile up until they feel like responding, which can take up to a month. Another straight up told me they have so much incoming messages that they have no hope of ever going throughб so if I wanted to reach themб I should keep messaging them like every few minutes to keep the dialogue up in the list. I'd say that's just a poor communications hygiene. Suffice to say I don't really talk to either of them anymore. I know smalltalk isn't urgent, but I cant see it as a dialogue anymore if it goes slower than a message/day.

But what do women do when they respond somewhere in between 4 hours to 30 days?

…and installing Steam is the route you want to use to do that?

Not at all, and that's a good point that it'd make sense for a package manager to somehow discern someone doing install steam from ones doing purge gnome-desktop. But then, if the first resolves to the latter, something has already gone catastrophically wrong, any action here would be a stop-gap, which this whole "do as I say" thing essentially was. The good thing, at least, is that it's in our hands to come up with a better solution and propose it in a form of pull request.

Counterpoint: Destroying my desktop environment is exactly the thing I want to do. For real, this is one of the first things I do on the regular. One safety-net for noobs is exactly enough, any more and it will become frustrating to power users.
