Gotta say though it’s kinda nice when you run an update to be able to tell ah yes KDE apps are being upgraded when you see the wall of Ks

Always a good time until your repo mirror hasn’t fully synced everything so you get updated Nvidia driver but an older kernel so your video drivers don’t load.

That was a fun hour until I commented out a few mirrors and tried a different one.

But not in place of, no one is trying to say no chat clients ever, we just don’t want only chat clients.

Why are you even mentioning matrix? We don’t want a chat server corpo or not, we want a real functional forum with topics and history and indexed by search engines, not a single chat log that disappears into the void after 24 hours of use.

The only advantage to a canoe is it’s slightly drier than the water and slightly less sandy than the beach.

Literally all of them, but look at OpenSSL for a good example.

Literally everything runs off it these days, and it’s like 3 guys and a trenchcoat working on it most of the time.

It’s just how open source / the industry / people are. We all have our own stuff we want to do, so as long as the stuff your using works you don’t tend to care, and if it doesn’t you often don’t have the time or resources to do anything other than tell the owner to fix it.

No because it came off of over a decade of research, the mRNA vaccine delivery had been in development for years, COVID is also a type of virus related to other viruses they had developed or were developing vaccines for.

This was not some weekend project dumped out with no thought.

It’s not odd at all that people are willing to take the vaccines. Hundreds of doctors and scientists have been involved in the process of determining how viruses work, how the body fights them how we can use that to improve the bodies response and then how to safely package that for delivery to every person in the country.

There is no blind faith here except for that of doubters, just literal thousands of hours of dedication and science.

Go lookup CANDU reactors, we have designs already that can’t steam explode themselves and instead will fail safe. Also just to be clear nuclear reactors don’t perform a nuclear explosion if they fail, the Chernobyl explosion was a steam explosion that threw nuclear material into the air.

And then you have a great big fuck off stack of documentation you can slap in their face with proof that it’s someone else’s problem.

Unless you aren’t actually pinging all the people you say you are.

Except the C++ “Core dumped” line is telling you it just wrote a file out with the full state of the program at the time of the crash, you can load it up and see where it crashed and then go and look at what every local variable was at the time of the crash.

Pretty sure you can even step backwards in time with a good debugger to find out exactly how you got to the state you’re currently in.

They aren’t saying the us government can take land in like France whenever. But like Canada has expropriation laws available where if needed Canadian land can be seized from the land owner, usually with compensation.

This is often done for things like infrastructure, highways and such. Turns it from needing the owner to be willing to sell into “we are buying this land now, heres what we think the land was worth”

But it’s still dirt fucking cheap to produce.

The expensive parts of fibre are the transmitters/receivers at each end and the labour to splice/terminate it properly.

This isn’t about that though. This is advertiser’s going “we don’t want to advertise on X because Elon promotes content we don’t agree with” and then Elon freaking out because much free speech. Even though no one is blocking or removing what he says, they just no longer want to be associated with it.

I don’t remember the full scenario cause it’s been a few years, maybe it was trying to get a free game, maybe it was trying to buy something. But it was an incredibly frustrating experience and I haven’t opened epic launcher in a few years partly due to it, I know there wasn’t a cart at the time though, which while maybe not the most inconvenient was really fucking weird.

Epic games made their store UI so bad that buying games on it initially was actually frustrating and difficult. It might be better now, but at the time you had no shopping cart and had to go through about 10 menus to purchase anything.

Steam lets me add many games to my cart, and then 2 pages later I’m installing them.

Have you seen a 3D printed house? They look like shit with their lumpy walls, and you still have to run all the plumbing power, and ventilation.

USPS is you fucking moron.

I had the ethernet in my desktop mobo not work when I tried upgrading to win11. Worked fine in 10 but no internet on 11.

I also had a very difficult time getting a Xbox wireless controller adapter working on win 10 without spending about 2 hours searching.

Windows usually works but sometimes it just fucking doesn’t. Linux isn’t perfect either but I usually don’t have issues with my Ethernet ports not working.
