  • You just hit the delete key one too many times, so there is a pending 'delete' action that will apply to the next email to arrive.

  • Can you specify the minute window, or does it have to be from the start?

  • Like, they used 198 lasers, or they used 98% of each of the 200 lasers?

  • "Near limitless energy". ..

    OK what are the limits? Preferably absurd answers please..

  • Awww... I'm a supernerd? Thank yoooooou ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    I always considered myself to be kind of an average run-of-the-mill nerd.

  • Depends on the video, but if it's for learning, like a tutorial on how to use a piece of software, I'll usually have to speed it up or I can't focus on it.

  • It sure makes you much less of a boring person to talk to.

  • My DE is Gnome which uses a bit. Haven't really looked into it further, because I still have 62GB of ram free after startx. Haven't maxed it out yet.

  • After boot, I'm using 2GB. I haven't noticed Linux doing the ram-hog thing like Windows at all. But Firefox is currently using 8GB.

    Just restarted Firefox and it's using 2.5GB now. I think it stores a lot in ram from video.

  • This news gives me confidence that fusion is now only 9 years away.

  • A country can have multiple cultures within it, and cultures can be spread across countries, but a country is a line on a map, not a set of customs and traditions etc. They can align of course, but they aren't the same thing. People can be proud of and represent both, but you can't choose which country you were born in.

    It sounds like maybe a better word would be patriotism?

  • It's sarcasm. I upvoted them because I would have said something similar to highlight the absurdity of any argument against defederating with Threads.

  • I tried Bottles, it would not work without installing FlatSeal and telling it where the UnityPlayer.dll was. Even when I tell it which directory to run in, it cannot find the dll. So much fucking around.

    Bottles makes everything waaay overly complicated with it's isolation.

    I installed Lutris and had absolutely no issues. It just worked first time. 5 minutes, 0 fuckery.

  • In general, the rules are:

    It's not ok to discriminate based on what people are (genetics, disabilities, race, gender, etc)

    But it's fine and necessary to discriminate based on what people do. We do it all the time. 'No Smoking' signs being perhaps the most common.

    Culture is a thing that people do. They can choose not to do it. Cultures don't deserve respect purely because they are a culture.

    So if a culture is generally promoting something bad (racial/gender discrimination, for a very common example), why not discriminate? Oh keeping slaves/having vast wealth inequality/persecuting people for their sexuality/or calling for nuclear war is a thing in your culture? Then that's totally fine and dandy because we respect all cultures, yaaay.

    But in your case, it's the leaders of the country declaring nuclear war, which may/ (or more likely) may not be in line with the culture. So.. yeah no. Not ok to discriminate in that case, when it's not a product of the culture, but of the leadership.

  • Yes, because it was just going to turn into pornhub v2.

  • I don't think AI will ever be able to account for context; like 'black friday sales are on and the general trend on the road is a lot of fuckery, so I'll drive extra extra carefully today'

  • I haven't actually touched selinux at all.. It's not 'officially supported' in Arch yet, although there are compatible packages available. I only recently discovered PAM which I have yet to learn too.

  • To break from the trend (because I recommend Mint as well),

    Check out the options on distrowatch.com, test out any live distros you can. When you have some understanding of GRUB then dual boot, and then triple.

    Inevitably, you're going to end up using Arch because it's so easily managed and you get to choose each component. But it's better if you have experience with the different components first. I completely missed out on learning RPM (package manager), I went from Mint (apt) to Arch (pacman). I did resurrect a lot of old laptops and desktops with various different distros though, and I learned Gnome and xfce, LXDE, MATE, and i3, xmonad..

    There's a lot to learn but it's all fun, and it's all different. When you go to a tiling window manager, you'll understand why Windows adopted (albeit shittily) tiling in it's latest version.
