kinda the same reason people suggest something like linux mint over slackware, gentoo, arch, etc… mint is easy to install and is preconfigured to be an easy to use user desktop environment. you can configure any other option to be have like that, but they tend to be a bit more “DIY”, which is great if you know what you’re doing!

dedicated NAS OSes will have good software out of the box that make it easy to configure and manage various common disk-related configurations (RAID, SMB, NFS, etc). you can certainly do all this yourself, but it might not have a pretty, unified user interface, or you might have to deal with software that isn’t compatible with some version of a library that’s in your distro of choice… all resolvable things, but they take time to solve: anywhere from installing a package manually to applying a kernel patch and recompiling the kernel to get something to work

i’d avoid BIOS-based RAID… it doesn’t really offer many benefits over linux-based raid like MDADM, and MDADM offers a LOT of up-sides for portability, repairability, diagnostics, etc

the company can refuse to deliver mail under a few obvious situations:

• too far off regular delivery routes (though depending on the laws behind postal delivery in sweden this might not be an acceptable reason for postnord, but certainly would have to be for a private company)
• consistent danger to delivery personnel

so there’s definitely a line somewhere. i think that postnord is arguing that it can’t force its employees to deliver to tesla in the same way that it can’t force its employees to deliver to a dangerous address. the article also states that the right to strike is part of the swedish constitution

afaik removing the veto was 1 of the things that needed to change before france/germany/etc would allow expansion?

and literally literally means literally but now we use it to mean figuratively

turns out language is about use, not origin

are as likely to die from covid, as unvaccinated elderly people

and that’s the bit of grey that some people seem to latch onto: some vaccines (like the COVID vaccines) don’t prevent disease: they reduce the likelihood or severity of disease. that doesn’t mean they don’t work, it just means that they only work most of the time… which is a whole shit load better than none of the time

depends which “you” you’re talking about

makes no sense for slovakia in the next few years that’s for sure

but for fico…

if he can get political points by spewing russian BS that russia then backs up (both directly and indirectly) then that helps him personally politically

and who knows if he’s getting something compensatory from russia for it

honestly outside of israel and palestine it’s worrisome that anyone considers either side their team

its a super complex situation and both sides are fucking monstrous, but inside either country it becomes real simple: the other side legitimately might end specifically my life through nothing but random misfortune

outside of that, i don’t see how anyone can think there’s 1 side that’s in the right

probably best not to say “given their initial claim” given that the source is a friend who didn’t say where they’d seen the info

so you may have misinterpreted what they were saying (someone claimed rather than reliable israeli sources claim), they could have misinterpreted what the source was saying, the source could have been exactly like this post and subject to similar accidental misinterpretation, or it could be just straight up misinformation: either accidental or intentional

given the amount of misinformation swirling about the whole situation, i’d probably go with “i had heard” or “i think someone mentioned somewhere” etc

or just classified in general… there’s plenty of blame to pass israel; let’s not give anyone ammo to say it’s all just bias

they’re faster in certain circumstances than even a direct fibre afaik (light in a vacuum travels faster than through air so at a certain point you overtake the fibre)

but also, i’m not sure it counts as “avoiding building infrastructure” when it includes things like the australian outback: https://benandmichelle.com/mobile-internet-australia

those places are so remote that we have signs when you enter some of the roads advising that you should not continue alone, that you should have backup fuel, water, and communication… because if you get stuck out there you ain’t gettin phone coverage for probably days on foot!

similar is probably true for many arctic regions

it also happens that by the merits of rich counties paying for most of starlink, developing countries suddenly get access to relatively cheap, fast internet in remote areas - something they’d struggle to provide on their own, given that even electricity can be problematic (and electricity you can fix locally with solar, etc but internet by its very nature requires some kind of backhaul)

also nothing that looks the same for the annoying time when you do have to do some analog copying

no I, l, or | and i usually avoid ‘, “, !, /, \ (which one was it again?) and a few others that i have set in my password manager

okay, so it seems as though disregarding android usage of LTS seems reasonable because whilst it shouldn’t be this way, nothing will actually change

which is kinda the point of LTS right? or does LTS for kernel mean additional things?

okay but all that “technically possible but nobody has written the software yet” is incredibly unhelpful

it’s technically possible to run every windows app perfectly in WINE but nobody has implemented a bunch of the APIs without bugs yet

that is provably untrue… i’m from australia, so we took a markedly different strategy to the US to the pandemic as i’m sure you’re aware… the pandemic stopped here very definitively because of vaccination: the majority of people did not get COVID until well after the vaccine was given to most of the population and it was showing effectiveness

and since vaccination, yes many people have caught COVID but very few people have had severe cases

i mean, they did stop the pandemic so… yknow… i’d say lower your expectations? they were never going to be 100% for life afaik; that’s just not how these viruses work

i’m not sure if that makes it worse (because the headline is now knowingly misleading) or better (because at least they provided the correct information)

thanks for the info regardless! i didn’t read it because there’s no way im clicking through to murdoch BS

i mean if the shoe fits: the original implication was countries who receive foreign aid, and considering the skew of federal money towards red states……

unverified by me, but @Deestan said:

The implied connection to the failed landing is dishonest. He was admitted to the hospital over a week before the lander crashed.
