I guess they mean "how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular."

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it's everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

Because they'd need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that's something those companies don't like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

She's an open white nationalist.

How is her being racist any sort of surprise or questioned?

Because you flex and replug the interface often.

The thing you use to plug your phone, tablet, drives and other things with is very often the failure point unless you break screens or get water in them.

Normally you simply have a HDD drive with a SATA interface in there, so if the USB connector fails, you can still easily recover your data.

With these things, you're lucky if they even offer the possibility of repairing or recovering the drive.

I have a dual NVMe USB3 caddy that's smaller than most 2.5 HDD housings with currently 2 2TB drives, you can buy 4 and 8TB nvme drives these days too. I can throw that thing out a car and it won't care.

And the drives are easily swappable and so are the electronics in the casing.

So no, 2.5" HDD's still are an utterly dead end of technology.

Especially with these and some other vendors, the USB interface is part of the drive (there's no SATA port on them), so you can't swap them or take them out for data recovery. They are HDD tech, which doesn't do shocks or any other sort of roughhousing, they are slow as shit and use far more power than any NVMe drive.

Looks like this one except that it is sealed on one end and the caddies for the two drives have a cover plate that screws in over a gasket and rubber ring.

I got it in a shop in Hong Kong when I was there for a convention earlier this year. No idea if you can find it online, maybe somewhere like Alibaba.

The more they push to train AI on our shitpostings on social networks, the more I'm certain we're fucking doomed if their AI ever reaches consciousness.

The "very well built" comment also is a peculiar statement.

There's only 3800 of these delivered so far and there's literally hundreds of posts, pictures and videos of these abominations online showing the shoddy assembly and a flurry of technical issues.

I haven't bought an EA game since they pulled the "here's the core alien to this whole epic saga, you can get it as paid day-1 DLC" with Mass Effect,

I suggest ya'll do the same.

Thing is, looking at some games, Horizon and Elden Ring being a prime examples, we can have both great games with great graphics.

You don't really want better games with worse graphics, you want better games that don't use great graphics as an excuse to bad gameplay.

It's all about "state rights" until it's other states with different politics.

Those astronaunts that are supposed to go up with a Boeing launch must be having severe anxiety by now.

They get cheap oil, cheap gas, cheap minerals, cheap everything out of Russia.

They don't care Putin wins or loses, they do care about getting all that cheap loot.

I see this womans face all over right now, all commenting on her book and shit she said.

Ya'll know that posting this shit and responding to it beyond calling out the blatant attention whoring through deliberately inflammatory and controversial statements is just giving them what they want, right?

That's why, although I'm in no way a fan of Macron, I love that he has put the idea out of at the very least starting to put boots on the ground.

At the end of that war, we can not permit it to be in the form of Ukraine losing even an inch of landmass. Because then in 5-10 years, Putin will just do the same thing again, maybe not in Ukraine, but elsewhere.

The only way to stop Putins madness is by making every thing he does cost him dearly.

Endorkend, 17 days ago

The threat needs to be there and real, otherwise Putin and Russia will never stop.

THAT is the insanity.

We've tried the economic approach, we've tried talking, we've tried not doing more than sending weapons to Ukraine.

It clearly doesn't work and Putin will just keep repeating what he has been doing until there's actual repercussions to what he's doing.

You have people like this saying actual antisemitic shit over and over and over again and they are elected to office.

And then it's people that want the country of Israel, to at least pretend to try to not kill scores of civilians and they get called antisemitic.

My work often takes me to the Antwerp diamond quarter (especially the vault buildings) and the sentiment I see there is that your general Jewish person facepalms every time they hear Israel is in the news again and they aren't happy this makes life more difficult for them by simple association. Most of these people just want to live their lives and have no association, fealty or favor for the country of Israel, beyond the area it resides in hosting holy sites.

Dunno about the traditionally dressed Hasidic Jews in Antwerp though, I've been in and around the Diamond Quarter for 25 years now and I don't think I've ever even got as much as a hello or acknowledgement of existence from any of them walking down the street. They seem to be a rather insular bunch.

So they seem to be the good kind of insular. Live and Let Live.

All of Europe is an Ally.

This perk is pretty much reserved for Israel and Israel only.

I tend to have videos playing on a secondary screen all day long, only to pause them when I get a phonecall or need to talk to someone on Discord or real life.

This is just one more perfectly valid reason to install adblockers.

Endorkend, 26 days ago

I pause videos for 1 reason and 1 reason only and that's to speak to people IRL or online, because I can't concentrate on a conversation when there's background noise.

This is just another entry for the list of reason it's 1001% valid to use adblockers.

Endorkend, 26 days ago

Nah, I just keep listening and in the rare case I feel like I may actually have missed something visually, I'll roll back time on the video.
