That was one of the first distros to support Wayland, so it has my begrudging respect.

Japanese company: Makes super faithful waifu figures

American company: Makes Facebook-avatar-like figures

TBH half of them are quite good, but the other half is kinda weird.

Fuck ads, they're everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.

Because medicine shouldn't become a flea market where you're gambling your health against profit maximization.

Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don't let them hyperinflate prices without justification.

It's not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you're buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.

It's like

– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.

– Let's negotiate. How about 500 million instead?

– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you're a good client.

Reg also caught transporter monsters with his bare hands, just to prove everyone he wasn't that crazy.

Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?

The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it's too early to tell.

We changed to USB-C ports because ~~the EU forced us~~ we have courage!

True, but I still have occasional wet dreams about the future Enterprise D. It was amazing in a bellic kind of way.

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you're being careful, and know what you're doing. You won't run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you're downloading new releases immediately, it's likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won't employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Then maybe unchecked ads weren't a good idea to begin with.
