  • Well, ever since there was that fighting around nuclear power plants, I was regularly checking weather patterns, especially the wind directions. If he, say, nuked Kiew within the next week, the fallout would mostly blow to Belarus and back to Russia. Plus, then all guards come off, no treaty has meaning and I see no reason for not going full dirty warfare by Ukraine by say destroying/causing meltdowns hitting nuclear power plants in Russia directly (Kursk,..) thus causing likely fallout over Moscow. And that's not even including a European response, where there's historically very little tolerance for fallout-causing type events and therefore could evoke a disproportionately strong we-have-nothing-more-to-lose-and-are-estremely-pissed response.

    So, all hypothetical, but what I'm saying is, it's not a good outcome where everyone loses, but especially bad for Russia. I'm not convinced that's what will happen.

  • True, I just wished RISCV laptops were slightly more developed and available. As of now, the specs aren't there yet in those devices that are available. (8core@2Ghz, but only 16GB Ram, too little for me)

    Kind of a bummer, was coming up to a work laptop upgrade soon and was carefully watching the Linux support for Snapdragon X because I can't bring myself to deal with Apple shenanigans, but like the idea of performance and efficiency. The caution with which I approached it stems from my "I don't really believe a fucking thing Qualcomm Marketing says" mentality, and it seems holding off and watching was the right call. Oh well, x86 for another cycle, I guess.

  • Anecdotal, but "does more" is absolutely incorrect these days. Had an Apple believer giving a presentation - HDMI connection to standard projector from iPad just didn't work. So pull it to a USB thumb drive to put on a proven working laptop (Ubuntu, projector worked directly) and the supposedly FAT formatted drive could not be mounted with some "Spotlight" error.

    Wholly unimpressed with the "never just works" of apple nowadays.

  • Maybe, but as someone who spent a summer school breaks worth of time in 2002 getting drivers for a Nvidia GeForce 2 card to run under Mandrake (oh the kernel panics...) to play counter-strike 1.X on wine... It's come a long fucking way.

    I use Debian for everyday work and on my private machine nowadays and struggle with the shitty experience of windows when helping someone out now and then. Granted, I don't have much time for games these days, and often fire up the PS for that, but I feel experience can vary as long as you know what you want and manage expectations.

  • These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

    Now, this one, I'd like to see.

  • In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-bared fighting.

    Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions.

    The fight's popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise.

    The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.

    Now it is 2341, 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions.

    You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary.

    The time has come to prove you are the best- to crush your enemies- to win the Tournament.

  • Having been in a similar situation, I now bash script things like that, so it's ./present_dat_shit.sh and you're up and ready, even if things bug out. If it's a really important presentation, you can also add a live boot SSD backup if you're serious about redundancy.
