Pretty much lol, well put!

From my understanding, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It's not a weapon yet, and it's not explosive yet. Iran's still a ways away from making that.

I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn't covered this bombing yet (I'm sure he will ~~within a few hours~~ tomorrow), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480

Either way it's an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can't recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they're short and well worth it.

There's a line somewhere between "computers that teach you not to do that" and computers that prevent dire consequences when you make a human mistake. The "just don't do that" policy is never enough. If there are no safeguards, at one point the mistake will be made.

Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren't designed to annoy you, they're designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.

But I can see why you'd want the power button to be a "stronger signal" than clicking Shut Down in some menu.

I realize this isn't serious but holy shit Prozac might have saved my life. Well, technically Prizma which is the same stuff. I went through so many unsuccessful depression treatments, Prizma is the only one that seems to be sticking. Sometimes the old stuff is just the best.

Worth noting that all treatments were in conjunction with psychotherapy, I don't think pills alone would have helped. And I also tried going without medication at all for a while, it wasn't good either. Prizma really is the only thing that works for me.

Edit: apparently the Prizma brand might only be sold in my country, but as I said it's just a different brand of Prozac.

I also don't know the meme and that just sounds like a cute nickname

It's fairly common in countertop dishwashers, but come to think of it, I don't know if it exists for full-size ones. The one I have is this: https://www.midea.com/sg/kitchen-appliances/dishwasher/MDWS-2703

I really like that my dishwasher has a window so I can peek inside while it's working. Besides the coolness factor, it's also useful to see whether any of the rotors are blocked from spinning or something tipped over.

It's not a deal breaker if you get one without a window, but it's really nice to have.

I knew someone would beat me to it.

As a user, why should I care whether the distro I use uses systemd? I use Mint and I don't remember having to interact with that kind of low-level nonsense. The distro maintainers can use whatever reasoning they want to pick these details.

Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint's driver manager didn't seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia... Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don't need to install them at all. Nice.

I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn't really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn't use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.
