Top comment from the linked page:

"Looks like the book only included the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those two amendments were not specifically excluded. This is rage bait. "

Not free, but I’ve found great value with purelymail.com. Cost is $10/year or there’s a calculator for advanced pricing (basically AWS costs forwarded).

If you provide your own domain, you can have unlimited email addresses. If you use a provided domain, there’s no predefined limit, but abuse will be stressed by the developer.

If you lose the master account’s password the admin cannot reset it for you, which indicates a strong commitment to privacy.

Because it’s paid, no activity requirements, phone number requirements, or invitations.

It has one of the best terms of service pages I’ve ever read.

For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.

From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.

I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.

That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.

Reliable public transport with a robust interstate passenger railway system coupled with a well designed intracity bus system, along with well maintained biking paths everywhere else would go a long way to getting bad drivers off the road.

We can’t get bad drivers off the road when basic everyday living requires driving. There are cost effective alternatives in use across the world. America just has to learn to accept good ideas that others have pioneered.

Could public transit be considered to reduce the need for everyone to drive?

I respect boxcars, but does the world need more trolls and troll accessories?

It’ll never happen if we all agree it’ll never happen. I like taking about them, as it’s my way of making it more likely to happen

No argument from me. I’m probably insane. But I’m not under oath, or doing a job, or undertaking a responsibility; I’m just me, talking to strangers in a public chat room. Why should I limit myself to the practical? Is there a rule against expressing dreams in this room?

And I agree, even if I convinced everyone overnight, and we had the willpower to do it, I’m still proposing infrastructure changes that I may not see finished in my life, but building for the next generation is still noble to me, in my insanity.

Agreed, the author simply asserts that brains are interactive as if that’s some big gotcha. The whole idea of the vat is that the machine is complicated to handle these things, at least well enough for your own system.

Sanderson’s short story ‘Perfect State’ actively explores the edge cases of what a simulation world would have to do to deal with ‘i survived this thing that normally kills everyone’.

Join the bidet club! It’s great, and environmentally friendly (making paper uses a bunch of water). There are many models you can add to an existing toilet.

Correct. That or any number of similar things is the subtext of the Charlie Brown football gag meme. Lucy always, always yanks it away.

Honestly, I don’t think this is a new phenomenon per sé. Politicians being quick to take full credit for good news isn’t groundbreaking (and the masses quick to blame politics for what may be beyond anyone’s control is an interesting parallel)

What’s changed is how brazen, barren, and hollow Trump and MAGA have exposed the GOP to be. Under his guidance they’ve collectively had the finesse of a third grader and this radically exposed how little they’re contributing in terms of policy.

As an example, look at Affordable Care Act. Trump claims to replace it with something better, but after years they’ve produced almost nothing to point to as a substitute, and it’s glaringly obvious to anyone slightly interested.

By contrast, if you roll back to the debates on gay marriage, Republicans threw a ‘separate but equal’ token civil union around, which had enough meat on the bone to fuel a discussion.

The only thing I find shocking is that it isn’t a subscription service with a one-time $60 shipping and handling fee.

Better Live ISO Booter than Ventoy?

So over the years (decade?) I’ve used Ventoy a lot. For those not aware, it is basically a live USB that you can add other ISOs to to boot into those. Usually overkill but incredibly useful for those days when you need diagnostics, a simple terminal, and then to install something what you actually want....

Disclaimer: I don’t use Fedora, but have friends who do. So I tried to include sources, below. 😅

How would I install NVIDIA drivers?

rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

_Does Wayland work with NVIDIA?*

(I don’t know)

A lot of distros are moving to Wayland. How would I ensure I stay on an Xorg session?

GNOME now defaults to Wayland. Instructions to use xOrg instead: docs.fedoraproject.org/…/configuring-xorg-as-defa…

I expect other desktop environments will similarly have mechanisms switch, at least during a transition period.

I enjoy modding Bethesda games. Does Mod Organizer work fully on Linux?

Your mileage may vary, but it looks likely: github.com/…/modorganizer2-linux-installer

I’ve had difficulties running my steam games through proton on my laptop. Does proton work with Fedora?

I suspect it will. Steam has been pouring money into making it’s catalog Linux ready, docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming/proton/

With said difficulties with proton, would installing Steam as a flatpak work or will it cause issues?

In principle it ought to, but there appears to be an issue with it currently. docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming/proton/

Can you really not play any games with anti-cheat?

Anti cheat software generally works by looking for irregularities that detect if there’s any program besides Windows that’s intercepting system calls. It is unfortunately by exactly this mechanism that allows Proton to work (as Windows isn’t present).

Nah. The 24 hour window is so all the rich, connected people can apply for some grandfathered exemption clause that’s not available to the rest of us.
