Next-easiest target after LGBTQ+ people would be non-white immigrants, or has she gone after them already? I find it difficult to remember which individual right-wingers have publicly admitted to embracing all the bigoted drivel their political siblings push, and which are trying to stay in the closet.
Gentoo does have systemd, actually—package sys-apps/systemd—and there are optional sections in the install documents that explain how to go about using it as your primary init. It's an officially supported configuration, just not the default.
(But yeah, as for the main problem, sounds like hardware—RAM, your primary hard disk, or the disk controller on the mobo. Start with The Bleeding Obvious and make sure all cables are solid in their sockets and all the RAM is properly inserted.)
Advertising copy is likely overrepresented in the general corpus of texts from the Internet that most LLMs are trained on. Plus, it isn't a genre where truth matters all that much. It's intentionally vague and cliché-riddled even when humans are writing it. So it's something that I'd expect LLMs to be pretty good at creating.
"Garbage in, garbage out" is just fine if garbage was your desired output to begin with.
This seems to happen most often with newish stuff whose original source was a dollar store or similar really low-end retailer. But, yeah, while you may stumble across the occasional 20th century item being sold for less than it's worth, there are many better places to buy cheap used stuff. Caveat emptor.
(You'd think they'd at least have the brains to remove or black out the old price tags.)
Charge any company in posession of a shipping container believed to contain stolen vehicles with posession of stolen property or something to that effect if they don't immediately set it aside to be checked by law enforcement, and tighten up the paperwork required for shipping used vehicles generally. Make the corporations perform due diligence, and it will suddenly be a lot harder to get stolen vehicles out of the country. If that means each shipping company has to hire someone to stand there and check VINs against a list while some other company is loading cars into containers, so be it.
In the meanwhile, buy compact cars rather than SUVs or pickups, because they seem to be less-desirable theft targets.
For gaming, you should be using the most current version of nvidia's proprietary drivers that supports your GPU, unless that GPU is really old. Have a look at this page: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/
If your GPU isn't listed there, use the most recent driver you can find.
If your GPU is on the 470.xx supported list, try 470.223.02, as that seems to be the last in the series.
If your GPU is on the 390.xx supported list, try 390.157.
If your GPU is on one of the other lists, it's a really old chipset and you should be using the Nouveau driver that's built into the kernel.
If you're using the nvidia proprietary drivers on a system that also has Nouveau installed, make sure you've blacklisted Nouveau so that you're loading the correct driver.
Dual-graphics laptops are a bit of a bear to work with under Linux generally. Good luck.
At what point does a child become autonomous enough to make their own decisions about their values?
Middle school-ish. It might make sense to tie it to the age of criminal responsibility (that is, the age at which you're assumed to have enough understanding of right and wrong to be charged with a crime in your own right), which, in Canada, is 12.
There soon may be fewer Musk worshippers. Which is not in itself a bad thing, but not even Musk worshippers deserve to die the way that some of those monkeys did.
Good. This is the sort of thing tax money is supposed to be for: ensuring that workers who render services to the public on behalf of the government collect a living wage for their efforts. (Things it isn't supposed to be for include paying lawyers to appeal perfectly reasonable court rulings, providing tax refunds to people who don't really need them, and paying down a deficit that no one really cares much about.)
To set the record straight, since you apparently have no idea of the history: systemd isn't the original Linux init system, and wasn't foisted on the Linux community because it was technically superior for most people's use cases. It still isn't the only viable Linux init system, but it pulled a Microsoftian embrace-extend-extinguish on udev, which makes it more difficult to switch away. Its current popularity is still not based on technical merits. Instead, it's political, because most people don't care about what init they're using and most distro-makers take the path of least resistance.
It's true that you're not required to use all of the individual executables that comprise systemd, but most distros will require you to install them. So they're still present as unwanted clutter, and bugs could still pose a security risk if an attacker can run the executables. (This doesn't mean that OpenRC or runit would necessarily be any more secure—every non-trivial piece of software has bugs, and some percentage of those are going to be security-relevant. You're not required to care about small amounts of on-disk clutter, either, but some people choose to make their system partitions small and micromanage the contents even if they're not working on embedded.)
Compiling your own copy of systemd without the clutter, judging from the contents of the systemd ebuild, requires setting more than 30 compiler options. And then installing the result manually without trashing your system. Not trivial, in other words.
If systemd works for you, then by all means use it, but accept that other people may choose to install something different on their own machines for what you consider to be bad reasons, or no reason at all, and arguing about it just annoys them without providing any benefit to you.
Fake celebrity porn has existed since before photography, in the form of drawings and impersonators. At this point, if you're even somewhat young and good-looking (and sometimes even if you're not), the fake porn should be expected as part of the price you pay for fame. It isn't as though the sort of person who gets off on this cares whether the pictures are real or not—they just need them to be close enough that they can fool themselves.
Is it right? No, but it's the way the world is, because humans suck.
Yeah, there are no guarantees there, assuming you can even find a working floppy drive. (I actually own a full set of DOS 6.22 + Win 3.1 install floppies, and a full set of 16-bit MS Office install floppies as well, but whether any of them are still readable is anyone's guess. If I ever tried to use them again, I'd probably find out that the next-to-last Office floppy had died of spontaneous degaussing at some point in the past twenty years, after I'd already gone through the remaining 40+ disks.)
The skew is something they're supposed to take into account, if they realize a given factor is important. Models are seldom perfect, and people can be incompetent or self-centered even when they're not being actively malicious. I think you're overestimating both the quality of the statistical models and the purity of the motives behind this survey.
You're assuming that the set of people surveyed was truly random, but it never is—people who don't like answering surveys are always underrepresented (obviously), and the article isn't specific about how people were recruited for this one. There isn't enough information to tell how much skew might have been introduced as a result. Surveys are always kind of iffy as information sources: not meaningless, but with a lot of subtle noise in the signal.
If I recall correctly, the aircraft manufacturer writes the maintenance guidelines.
This could be a Boeing issue, if it's due to something that happened at the time the aircraft was built, or due to a foreseeable gap in the maintenance guidelines.
It could be a Delta issue, if they weren't following the maintenance guidelines, or a maintenance contractor working for them wasn't following them and they didn't catch it.
It could also have been (very small but nonzero chance) the result of physical trauma to the plane that wasn't foreseen, back in the 1990s when it was built, as something that might cause an issue of this magnitude. I haven't yet seen any information on whether this particular aircraft has a history of hard landings or running over debris on the runway. Freak accidents do happen.
One also wonders how the questions asked were phrased. And how they interpreted responses of, "E, chotto . . ." and other "telling the truth would be rude" circumlocutions.
I don't know much about the political landscape in France, but in the US you have to be wealthy to achieve political office above a certain level. When's the last time a poor person became their President?
The problem is that the Boomer generation is now getting hit with all the normal age-related degenerative diseases, including those that cause dementia. The demographics mean that we just don't have enough younger people to look after them, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. ☹️
Next-easiest target after LGBTQ+ people would be non-white immigrants, or has she gone after them already? I find it difficult to remember which individual right-wingers have publicly admitted to embracing all the bigoted drivel their political siblings push, and which are trying to stay in the closet.
In the end, they're all of a piece.
