Yeah I love it, Debian feels like opening a featureless gray box that just says "OS" on the front. Add whatever you want. A blank canvas. It's as close to "generic" Linux as you can get.
I'm a radio enthusiast. I like listening to it at night because you can pick up stuff from thousands of miles away. When the ionosphere is higher and stronger. Especially camping out in the middle of nowhere.
By "a lot of people", I meant "a great many of them" compared to neurotypicals. Not all.
It often takes a special kind of person to be able to absorb reams of dry technical knowledge in a narrow field and spit it out like it's a second language.
It's easy to recognize in people like RMS, Steve Wozniak, and Torvalds if you are afflicted with it too (although technically none have been officially diagnosed). Even Elon Musk exhibits traits of it (as much as I don't want to be associated with him) I can still recognize the complete social ineptitude and obsessive behaviors that are often associated with it.
Hey guys, unless I missed Boeing getting into biological warfare, I'm pretty sure an infection had nothing to do with them. It's funny to circlejerk though, I know.
I have game consoles that are more than twice that old and still play reliably. Apple really skewed our idea of lifespans for electronics, didn't they? It's a thermostat, they should be designed to install and forget for the next half-century. It's a core part of a house, like the plumbing and breaker box.
Why is it so common for Apple users to replace their devices every 1-2 years then? Theres a reason it's a meme. Regardless of what Apple does with old hardware, they promote this mentality of always needing the next new shiny thing. They're the pioneers of that.
I'm still on a rooted Samsung from 2017. I know several people who went through 3 iPhones in that time.
Conditioning everyone to see their computers as media consumption kiosks instead of the powerful, productive machines they are. That's where MS OSes are headed. They tried too early with Windows 8 Metro, but they haven't lost sight of that concept.
"My TV shows ads so it's only natural my computer does too." - I bet a lot of people already think like this.
Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....
In a world with finite resources, a system seeking infinite growth will eventually collapse.
That's why some of the most powerful capitalists are starting to look up. Our great-great-grandchildren are going to be indentured servants on an asteroid mine. They know what's coming. They'll pack each SpaceX Starship with 100s of them just like they did 200 years ago. That thing ain't no exploration vessel. It's a future slave ship. Private companies don't do "exploration" unless it's to find more things to make a profit on.
