AWD with a mini engine on each wheel.

why don’t all our cars look like catfish?

that’s really fucked up. don’t get me wrong, i’m not judging you, our culture has probably fucked me up the same way as you, i just dont happen to have kids. but not preparing kids for the real actual world is fucked up, and there is a serious disconnect with reality being instilled by our culture in them, and also in you to make that happen. my point is that it is a serious dysfunction in modem culture required to make happen.

everything my parents ever did.

that’s kind of awesome. the inverse of your story is what ive seen more often, the promotion that is more work for no more pay. both reflect the same corporate dysfunction.

laptop is just a more expensive desktop but it lets you do what you’d do on a desktop from the couch, bed, deck, coffee shop. it all depends on your habits.

note that this damage is not necessarily in the form of dissolving. it causes some plastics to develop fractures, as if you had dropped it. dont use iso on plastic unless you know it is a kind that it is safe for.

BTW, i just just want to plug for this fact: we are all totally brainwashed by marketing that we need special cleaners for each specific thing. dishsoap or some general purpose soap like Dr bronners and water works fine for just about everything.

Funny, I just finally gave up on it just a few months ago and moved on Quod Libet.

Sorry, the laser upgrade isn’t ready yet. We thought we’d get sharks with lasers to ride them since the driving AI requires monitoring anyway.

And unfortunately beer won’t save us from the things most likely to make modern / near future water impotable. Except to the extent it makes us not care.

Which is pretty much guaranteed with a cold drink. Any other brand of “natural” cane sugar has normal sized crystals, its really annoying getting these stupid big crystals in a coffee shop.

I love how everyone evidently knows what dinosaurs sound like.

You realize the world is full of people and organizations with many different opinions and interests, don’t you? It is impossible for anyone to do anything, or fail to do anything without people being unhappy and critical about it. The bigger and more powerful you are the louder that will be. There should be nothing surprising about this.

Also, you don’t need to put every fun little programming thing you decided to do out into public. The open source space is cluttered with half-assed, unfinished, and abandoned projects. If you’re not serious about maintaining it, just keep it to yourself so we have less chaff to wade through when looking for a given type of program.

Yes, it avoids the worst of stupid thumbnail patterns that the YouTube algorithm pressures people into. Yes, nobody is making an O face, and the title isn’t misleading. But this is still in a style shaped by those same pressures, and IS cringey to me. Titling something “I did such and such” and the visual style… does this not scream dumbed down for the algorithm to you? Five years ago you’d have wondered if this was targeted at children or something.

Listen, I understand why people who may have good quality content make compromises to reach more viewers. You might think i’m being excessively hard-ass about it, but in my opinion, playing ball with the algorithm just contributes to the problem. The fact that the style of this thumbnail has become so normalized that people can’t even see what I find objectionable, IMO, just demonstrates what a slippery slope this is.

I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to watch a video whose thumbnail looks like that.

It’s like an internet poop knife.

There is definitely a caveat with nvidia. The nvidia repo is managed external to the main repos, so it is possible for a new kernel to drop in the system repo and the nvidia repo not yet be updated with a compatible driver.

I always wait a few days on such updates and watch the mailing lists for problems especially from nvidia users. So far I’ve only experienced problems due to prime wonkiness that required re-running a couple of prime commands. I haven’t had to use the boot-from-btrfs-snapshot yet, but it’s a nice security blanket.

Tumbleweed? Could you have been looking at Leap?

I’d recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed instead. They originated the btrfs setup that lets you rollback in the grub menu, which has been copied by others. They are bleeding edge except that all packages go through an automated testing system before being rolled out so there’s much less breakage to start with.
