nded version. Otherwise I nearly always use the

likewise i have an occasional dpkg. or container :) but man do i try

If you only use one package manager, you only need to update one package manager :)

I avoid flat and appimages like the plague

YMMV; my C-staff have all yearned for the office platform since we transitioned to Google Workspace.

I’d be happy to walk to an open solution, but the integration for mobile and high levels of interoperability with other companies leaves me stuck with Gdocs or o365

My open plan living room, kitchen, sunroom area has a bank of 5 on one wall, 3 on the other.

I’m the only person who knows what all the switches do from memory.

My wife and kids throw a lightswitch rave every time they want to turn the lights on over the island and i just beatbox techno while they try to figure it out.

Mmm, maybe.

Venezuela isn’t being strongly protested because the guy they just deposed failed to win the last election and stayed in power anyway.

If he starts actually waving his dick around near Greenland, he can’t pretend he’s a liberator instead of a bully, and they’ll just be seen as the peaceful underdog. I suspect we’ll see action from the nordic countries if not actual action from the EU.

Microsoft: We can’t find anyone who likes Copilot.

Also Microsoft: Let’s rebrand our only well-received products as Copilot.

You might well be right, but I don’t think enough time has passed to call this indifference just yet.

China is mad because it was already sourcing oil from there. Apparently, they had a contingent that met with M the day he was taken. So I don’t think their vague threat really counts in this scenario yet.

America does have a decent-sized military and someone at the head who needs to prove himself every time he’s challenged. Most countries don’t really like it at least on the basis that they’re next, but challenging him would be more likely to make them next.

These are the kind of things that take a long time to iron out. If they’re going to do something about it, they’re going to wait until a few others start to do things about it.

If it came out that Trump, Maduro, Putin, and Xi Jinping all conspired

I think it’s more likely that Trump asked what he could get away with regarding seizing a bunch of money from another country, and Venezuela was a low-risk, high-reward.

They literally can’t.

That really hasn’t stopped the US government recently.

Naw, OpenAi pays oracle to agree to eat the crap Oracle pays nvidia to agree to eat the crap Nvidia pays OpenAi to agree to eat the crap

The consumers eat the crap as they reduce the memory and video cards available to the public.

It’s a speech. He has a hypothesis at best, and expertly lays out one way for it to go.

If one country did it, they’d try to give them the Venezuela treatment.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the overall concept has incredible legs, but the finer details of tit-for-tat and retaliation aren’t quite fleshed out.

All we need for the year of the linux desktop is Adobe, Autodesk and Outlook :)

Such a fucking PITA, as a small IT shop, I don’t want to have to full on fucking go enterprise to keep my users from needing to make Microsoft accounts.

And they’re likely begging for the violence so they bourgeoisie can feed on the war machine.

And frogs should have wings so they don’t bump their ass when they jump.

BLM and Feminisim exist because society is so loaded with selfishness, mysogony and racism that left on it’s own, racism and mysogony are the default. Even if 75% devided to embrace equal, that last 25% would be set on fucking over 60% of the population. These same people that start companies and get into power.

Saying that everyone should just magically agree publically and privately to equality and anyone who is oppressed should just wait for it to happen is why you get downvotes for being tonedef.

Decline as the oligarchs siphon money out of the classes.

Years ago, a single factory worker could buy a house, raise a huge family, send a few to college, have a couple of cars, take a nice yearly vacation.

then a couple of kids, and student debt

then a big vacation every couple of years.

Now a single factory worker, if you can still find a factory can just feed themselves and rent a cheap apartment.

I burned 4 low quality kids movies on a disk for the dvd player in my wife’s SUV.

Of course they all have devices now and access to jellyfin

Nah, you’ll get 8GB and swap on nvme. Or, you’ll get to rent a terminal server slot for just $30 a month.

Prices don’t generally recover; any reason for a price rise is a reason to make it the new norm.

Used to be, competition would spring up and keep them in check, but now that the entire market is 6 companies in a trench coat, any new competitor would just be acquired or forced out of business with legal demands or supplier tampering.

run horrendously. But what if people can’t afford new hardware for the next four years? It’s either fix the performance or lose sales. The Switch 2 is likely going to become the most common performance target, and having only 12GBs of shared memory, it actually helps PCs in this situation.

One could hope, but the cost will carry through to consoles as well :(
