I built a new PC early October, literally 2 weeks later RAM prices went nuts… so glad I pulled the trigger when I did

probably around the Fedora level, they’re fairly equivalent.

The REAL question is, where does Hanna Montana OS fall on the scale?

You’re right, because this is a thread about the USSR doing bad things.

Conventions bring both extremes… It’s either eye-watering B.O. or eye-watering cologne/perfume

You might get some use from Jira or a similar tool…

I have ADHD. Open tabs lose context, I forget why they’re open, so they are useless. Bookmarks are categorized and that organization keeps the context apparent. I currently have 5 tabs open, and after submitting this reply, it will be four.

These should be available mandatory at LANs.

FTFY

TOR is easy enough to set up that if you know how to install a program on your computer and run it, you’re good to go. It’s not the ideal way to run TOR, and is still somewhat insecure, but can be done in a few clicks.

Back in the early 00’s, the amount of people learning how to download pirated music safely, arrange and burn a CD with it skyrocketed. Fast forward a few years and people with no real computer skills were learning how to rip and burn DVDs.

I wouldn’t underestimate the potential of people with motivation to circumvent an oppressive system.

You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…

right?

having that for years now

since abaout the late 90’s to early 00’s. KDE 1 released with virtual desktops, and from what I can tell, Klipper either released with it, or a few years later

Why are you so afraid of traffic merging? People that don’t suck at driving seem to not have a problem watching for traffic coming up on the on-ramps and taking appropriate action. The right lane is the correct travel lane if you are not actively passing.

I bet you don’t zipper merge either do you?

If they’re not passing, they can and should move over.

I’m using KRdp for the first time in several years today and am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the connection. It is in virtually every regard as good as Windows’ RDP.

For ~97% of the computer using population it is a hot new tech.

Compared to the state of consumer-grade Linux 5 years ago to today, it’s absolutely a hot new tech.

One cannot understate the impact that the Steam Deck and Proton had on driving consumer-friendly features to Linux simply from the demand of an exploding user base.

There was an experiment a couple years ago I remember reading about concluding that of all the jobs that ““AI”” could replace, C-suites were the one category where the computer outperformed humans in a statistically-significant amount

It’s more “whose patents will they inadventently end up using?”

If I’m having a bad tinnitus day I put on a set of headphones and use a pink/brown noise generator, some will sweep between the two or other colours as well. An hour or so of that will usually soothe it out for a good while.

The gearbox only exists because the engine can only go so fast.

Oversimplified. The transmission exists because engines are optimally efficient at specific RPM ranges and the transmission works to keep the engine in those ranges. It/you (auto vs stick) will also downshift to provide more power at the cost of efficiency if hard acceleration is required.

When doing 130 you can essentially only see your own lane well, with rudimentary details in the other adjacent lanes

If you can’t see adjacent lanes, then you’re not scanning properly. This is called tunnel vision and where I live you’ll fail a road test for it. You’d also fail for going 130km/h.

A couple bombs can take out a gigawatt+ generation plant. A couple dozen acres of solar panels will need much, much more, with each individual strike having far less impact and being far easier to repair after. On top of that, solar can be widely distributed and embedded in much smaller footprints, into civilian areas, and so on. Solar also has less infrastructure requirements such as access to water where destroying a dam for example can render one or more power plats inoperable.
