If he gets his companies to move to some homebrew, kludgey version of linux and names it dumb shit like futureOS, XOS, or linux 2, im going to tattoo my eyeballs
This is something that steve jobs talked about in an interview that I cannot find at the moment. Its ironic coming from him, but he was talking about when a company truly begins to die. His theory was that when a company is founded, the people that made and designed the product/service are in positions of power. But as a company grows and lives on they get replaced with marketing people. They dont know how to make anything, but they do have that “line go up” mentality. Instead of making something better, the marketing and sales people find ways to sell worse things. Again, hilarious coming from him but i think he had a point.
I have a 4060ti, swapped over to endeavour (arch with gui (btw)) after some previous microsoft fuckery. Damn near everything worked out of the box. The only issue that i had, that i still cant fix, is getting wayland working. Xorg works perfectly fine, but wayland is just the future. Nvidia started releasing driver updates for linux that’ll make it start working easier tho.
Ive used computers for my whole life so i know not everyone will share my experience with linux. But trouble shooting on windows was so much worse for me. Looking at depreciated forum posts, wishing i was back on windows 7, searching through weird, halfway redundant menus (how many device management menus are there???) And so on. So much of the system gets in your way because it doesnt trust you. With linux its as simple as googling your problem, some guy had the same issue 3 years ago and his fix still works. You go to the terminal and its like
do this
are you sure?
sudo do this
And then the problems gone (except for wayland, i know). Its great.
Im not praising musk, and i really think he fucked up his lead on twitter and tesla, but he is very much similar to jobs. Neither musk nor jobs have done really any of the engineering work, but both have had their hands in some pretty remarkable tech. Musk with paypal, spacex, tesla. Again, im not saying hes a good engineer, he hasnt done anything, but to discredit those companies is unfair.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia is technically prepared for a nuclear war, and that should the US send troops to Ukraine, it would be regarded as a considerable escalation of the war.
Call me naive but i think even if he goes to push the button either someone else will stop him or the guy who actually launches the missile wont do it. AFAIK he doesnt have a launch button, but a “ok to launch” button, and theres a surprising history of people refusing to do so even when ordered.
Not to downplay the severity or anything, putin is a madman the world is better off without. Im worried he’ll continue his warpath, but not worried he’ll destroy the world if that makes sense.
Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!
Sure its playable but the game is still (and i think always will be) lacking the VAST majority of features they’ve been talking about for more than 10 years.
Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles.

Probably not, theres been some needleless vaccines before that did ok. If anyone has done time in the military you’re probably familiar. Also any loss in efficacy could probably just be offset with higher concentrations

I think you’re on a false moral highground. I used to be up there with you, saying stuff like this feels like the right thing to say. Its civil, its kind, and it has no place in modern politics. He is barely a human in my eyes. He lacks any and all compassion and will sell out his state the second that he can, and has done so before. He is a lying pile of grease and greed that has no place in the world.
Its so wierd to be sad about. But I am. Ive been using RiF for 10 years. RiF IS reddit to me. Theres no way im going back to reddit, the app is a dumpster fire, and now I feel like this massive section of the internet is just gone. All of that archive of close to 20 years of millions of users, just gone.
