Every tenth line of code needs a comment break for a detailed ascii “drawing” of human hands

Definitely Gentoo

To maintain freshness

Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

If you spent 80 million making the other movie, I’m not sure if you have to pay taxes on it, or just the 40 million profit. If the latter, than you wouldn’t pay any taxes. Someone come in here and straighten Tiger and I out please!

Right, but he won the electoral vote, the only one that actually (and frustratingly), counts.

I’m a big advocate for the ketogenic diet (when followed correctly), but even just cutting down carbs is a great way to reduce weight and lower your A1C. Cutting down sugars from a typical diet can lead to withdrawals that are almost as bad as cutting smoking. We eat too much sugar as a species.

I don’t know. Depending on where you live, that sounds about on the mark for what you bought. Groceries are getting expensive.

It doesn’t matter how many people or what kind of people moved from Reddit. I was there 14 years (Digg 4.0 exile here). They have a new group of people now. My wife and kids now use Reddit, but it’s not the same type of user interaction I experienced there in the past. It’s very much a mix of scrolling through TikTok videos and sparse reading of comments on an /r/askreddit thread. It’s casual browsing and video content. There are still some holdouts, which I think mostly contribute to what’s left of the comment section, but that’s it. It sucks, because I miss the discussions there. Lemmy kind of scratches that itch, but the content is slow to come in, and the comments so few. I’m doing my part, and I am much more active here than I ever was on Reddit.

Someone on here the other day called it payware, and that’s what it is. It’s not pay-to-play or pay-to-win, because OW2 and D4 aren’t fun to play, and there is no ending. You pay to work, then if you are interested enough to pay for cosmetics, you pay for those too. My wife and I are three levels from 100, and are dreading completing the last few levels. It feels like a part-time job, it’s miserable. We really enjoyed the last few seasons of D3. I don’t see myself continuing to play any Blizzard game after D4 season 1.

I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

To add to that, Android is likely the overwhelming market share of Linux-based operating systems in use today. For that matter, an absolute ton of Intel CPUs have Minux installed on them too, but I wouldn’t call this “on the desktop”, just interesting.

Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don’t see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.

Honestly, I expect some form of it in the next five years. Tech can move fast when it wants to and there’s 💵 involved.

Good, thank you.

Got it. I thought you meant 12-14 openings each, and I was arguing semantics to myself about what could possibly be considered “openings” to make the number that big.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had coffee yet, but could you do the math for me? 12-14 doesn’t seem right.

Enjoy. Great pic.

There’s a lot of iconic problems Apple has had with product launches in the past (attenna-gate and butterfly keyboards are some of the most obvious recent ones), but I cannot for the life of me understand how something like this slips through in 2023. They must have a thermodynamics team that helped engineer the chassis, and the SoC team must know the thermal output of their chip. Did they just not test the device?

If they want to do yearly releases, with new features for every device every year, they need to reduce the number of features. There’s no point to 20+ features in an update if half of the features from last year stopped working correctly.
