There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.

In North America, the driver of a train engine is called an "engineer", yes.

This isn't Twitter or Facebook. You choose your home instance and you choose what you see (except when browsing global). Essentially, your "algorithm" is a reflection of yourself. You might need to clean up your subscriptions. This almost feels like victim-blaming, but I have a handful of profiles on various home instances and they all give me vastly different feeds.

Honestly, nobody should call themselves an engineer unless they literally drive trains for a living.

30 years ago, the internet was a big, international, scary place. I had several nicknames and didn't use one too long or in too many places to maintain my anonymity. Now there are literally billions more people on the internet, but social media has made the entire internet feel local. I use my real name on a lot of sites to communicate with colleagues in my profession or people who share my hobbies. The only thing I'm afraid of now are the FAANG megacorps who have me doxxed seven ways to Sunday no matter how much info I try to hide or give up voluntarily.

oof :( sorry to see fellow lemmings falling victim to the AI movement.

Erm, the microwave is faster and more efficient at heating water.

I dunno about this newfangled plasma 6 stuff, but I was tiling KDE for a few days using extensions like bismuth. It was rad af, but really just convinced me I needed to make the jump to proper tiling with hyprland.

Thank you for pasting the contents in the post. I refuse to click a link to a scummy site that uses AI art.

I love Linux, but you got some weird shit going on with your PC. I've got 3 4K monitors hooked up to a moderate-spec PC (Ryzen 9 3900X, 64GB RAM, RTX 3060 12GB) and I never saw white flashes when adjusting windows. Also it only rebooted when I told it to and never made much noise (quiet fans and all solid-state storage). Can't say I ever used the super-D thing intentionally (I launched programs from the start menu, never used desktop shortcuts).

I run Linux now because it's sick as tits and it's the principle of the thing, but windows has been pretty fuckin' rock-solid since 10. Shit, I had more graphical instability with Linux a few months ago, but that's just because I insist on using Wayland, and Nvidia drivers had a rough year last year.

Maybe the oldest in Scotland, but that doesn't seem to make the list worldwide.

My biggest complaint about hyprland is I tried it on a whim last month when I got bored of waiting for Plasma 6 to come out and I fell in love so hard I have zero desire to go back to KDE now even with new stuff on the horizon.

Erm, did you miss the part where the Russians were running "whites-only" businesses that turned away the native population? Yeah, you gotta care about the refugees, but they also gotta meet you halfway.

the only thing wrong here

is anything that reminds us of Tim Buckley.

Republican-controlled states block this every chance they get. My state is refusing federal dollars to pay for lunches for kids during the summer.

I don't know what Train AI Tools are, but I'd be ok with them if they had the temperament of Thomas the Train rather than Blain the Mono. How do we know which Train AI is buying our data?

It may have the kernel but it isn't much GNU in it

Wait, does this mean Alpine Linux is not Linux?

The random-looking black and white "buldings" on each block have some very not random "curves" of contiguous white buildings. When you look at other parts of the image, your peripheral vision may interpret these white curves as the same thing as the perpendicular green "roads", giving the illusion that the roads are no longer all perpendicular when you look away.

I just don't understand where a typo comes into play. OP achieves the same result.

Yeah, why would I engage with that sort of disingenuous nonsense. We're talking about cell coverage. Area matters. Period. Full statewide 5G coverage may be possible in a tiny state, but it starts to get bad and then abysmal as states become larger and are mostly rural.
