(OP implied it was for some reason)

Wired isn’t a shopping site?

…and that is okay. He is still doing an incredible job and is an incredible public figure.

Nobody is perfect, nor do they have to be.

Both Come and Pepsi doubled - tripled their prices in the time between 2020 and 2023.

In 2019 (in my area) you could get a 2 liter of soda for $0.79-$1.00. Non-sale price was $1.49. A 12 pack of cans was $2-$2.50 on sale with a none-sale price of $4.

2 liters now are “on sale” for $2-$3 each and non-sale price is $3-$3.50.

Cans sale price is $4 at minimum and non-sale price is $7.99–8.99 depending on the store.

I have significantly cut back on my diet soda intake as a result, so i guess there is that?

To put another way, in the best of times in 2019 I could buy a 5x12 pack of cans for $10. Today I would have to pay $20-$45 for the exact same product depending on if it was on sale or not.

When our economy finally falters, these companies will be the first to scream for bailouts and other nonsense.

Like dude, just go back to pre-pandemic pricing.

Uh, what about Pixelfed?

I use onedrive because you can get like 6TB of space included with Office for like $99/year. Second choice would be backblaze.

Out of curiosity, as someone thinking about starting a cloud/hosting provider, what features would make a huge difference to you beyond price? I do plan to have some pretty amazing pricing for individuals/small businesses, but beyond that….

this.

They won’t, of course, and nor would it be the end of the world if they did. Just the end of Russia.

As an autistic person with ADHD I am going to leave this one alone. 😬

Mine came in a cardboard sleeve. I still have it somewhere.

I think the issue is that some of us know this, but most are getting blasted by the media non-stop, and some of the messaging is even outright denying climate change exists. After a while people get tired of hearing about it.

I don’t have an answer for how to solve that one except to say that regardless of who is saying what or how loud, governments around the world aren’t doing enough. It is amazing to me because at the end of the day, money can slow and eventually stop/reverse climate change. We have the technology, we just need to invest in the required infrastructure and technology to make it happen.

Climate change isn’t political. It will kill all of us if left unchecked.

I think I do. So much in terms of doom and gloom is being shouted in terms of climate change that many are becoming numb to it, which is dangerous.

He is wrong about 1.5C not being an issue, however. 1.5C != “every place will raise only by 1.5C”. It means localized temperatures in many areas will be much, MUCH higher, as parts of the US are beginning to find out.

Responsible messaging is important, but the looming catastrophe cannot be understated. You or someone you know will likely die from global warming, if it hasn’t happened already.

The problem isn’t really the software, but rather GPU drivers/MESA. There are ubuntu ports for many boards, but without GPU acceleration.

83” LG OLED + decent sound system > theater IMO. The nasty theaters, high prices, rude people, etc aren’t worth it.

You probably set it up and forgot about it! 🤣

On Arch, upgrading is pretty simple. The only extra step is you need a hook to run mkinitcpio, but that script is on the wiki and you never need to touch it again once set up. From that point onward you just upgrade the driver via pacman.

Don’t get me wrong, I do not like the fact NVIDIA’s drivers aren’t open source and their linux offerings aren’t the greatest, but your issue appears to be due to the way your distro handles the driver.

Definitely a hardware issue, not a software one.

You aren’t. Even if you want to stick with bash, you can run scripts written in other languages. I have a few Ruby scripts. I can run them just like I do bash scripts.

The U.S. has been taking steps to change this, particularly in light of the supply chain issues that have popped up along with everything Taiwan. The process is slow, however, and possibly even slower than economic growth.

Nice.
