I got temp banned for suggesting that the Indians might watch the grounded British jet take off from the runway when it was finally fixed. Live! On TV! Like the moon landings.
Apparently that was also hate speech. Well, I think at least a few countrymen hated my joke to the point it got reported and annoyed the mods enough.
Ok, my quota for enough internet for the day is nearly full.
I always recall Bose for their high quality almost ‘vintage’ devices, and they should encourage their newer digital devices to become the old high quality devices that still work, sitting in someone’s home.
I think getting the base DE and ‘adding modules’ (extensions) is great. And some distros like Bazzite add around 10+ extensions by default.
This. I find that most extensions don’t break as gnome isn’t making radical upgrades.
He strove for power and renown. Points 1-3 didn’t trigger him, they were excuses to become the evil he was fated to become.
He had his redemption arc but that was something like when he was in his 40s or 50s and reaching the twilight of his life, and knowing that Luke may well kill and replace him. Seeing Luke sacrifice himself instead, moved what little good (or more accurately, moral principles) was left in Anakin.
In terms of alignment, Anakin was always Lawful Evil imo. My interpretation is that he was swayed by the strength of Luke’s adherence to the light side and his almost complete sacrifice. I don’t think it was really motivated by love.
I read that as you took apart your parents because it was missing the possessive.
The horror! Seriously, I actually made the courier stand for 3 minutes while I did the CPU pins check.
This is the fastest part after the careful compatibility checks, purchases, opening of packages, attaching heat sink with thermal paste, and screwing in components.
Ah my mistake, I must’ve installed it shortly after installing CachyOS.
I have a specific use case for CachyOS but I see two categories:
Both use flatpaks which will keep apps sandboxed. A lot of users don’t seem to like snaps being pushed by Ubuntu so flatpak is the big choice.
I’m a teacher and I make Linux work for me. Open doc formats get converted to pdf for the shitty windows 7 running the printer in the printing room, and the Android/Windows only app for communications I just run on my phone. PPTs run fine. When there was a problem with the projector, ‘IT guy’ went to my laptop, got confused (it’s Gnome), I told him not to interfere with it because it’s Linux. He proceeded to say ‘Ah, not working because it’s not windows.’ Later that day he actually came to fix the cable to the projector.
I love seeing you pop in with tidbits of Chinese wisdom
A motorbike. I’ve had a few close calls in a car, I don’t think it would have worked out well on a motorbike.
Oh that’s actually funnily enough the most applicable 2nd person mechanic.
Bamboo scaffolding certainly contributed, but the sheer amount of that green inflammable-looking material plus single pane windows (which probably shattered under the heat), and what apparently was very few fire alarms going off made the spread of destruction much worse.
What we are witnessing is the near-complete isolation of the soul from the truth of everything. We are at the densest stage of evolution, stuck in material bodies and unable to look beyond them. What we see today is the perfect manifestation of it. We will (live) die with so much understanding of it.
Well, I think Einstein was a genius but much of his work was built on Minkowski spacetime, so the conclusions about relativity could have been reached at some point when physicists were starting to work with it. I am in no expert position to judge this, but new developments in science do genuinely build on new insights, and Minkowski built the mathematical and theoretical platform that was evidently available to physicists like Einstein.
Reminds me of AITA? (am I the asshole?) posts that either felt incredible or just posted as ragebait for farming karma.
