True, I just wished RISCV laptops were slightly more developed and available. As of now, the specs aren't there yet in those devices that are available. (8core@2Ghz, but only 16GB Ram, too little for me)

Kind of a bummer, was coming up to a work laptop upgrade soon and was carefully watching the Linux support for Snapdragon X because I can't bring myself to deal with Apple shenanigans, but like the idea of performance and efficiency. The caution with which I approached it stems from my "I don't really believe a fucking thing Qualcomm Marketing says" mentality, and it seems holding off and watching was the right call. Oh well, x86 for another cycle, I guess.

"Where's the tax return"

Debian gnome is the cutest little bit too big for a little big fan in my mailbox and the one that I have no clue how it looks good for the info across it to me it looks good for the best

Anecdotal, but "does more" is absolutely incorrect these days. Had an Apple believer giving a presentation - HDMI connection to standard projector from iPad just didn't work. So pull it to a USB thumb drive to put on a proven working laptop (Ubuntu, projector worked directly) and the supposedly FAT formatted drive could not be mounted with some "Spotlight" error.

Wholly unimpressed with the "never just works" of apple nowadays.

Sooo ...

If you only ever pirated their content, you have better legal standing?

I think I don't get how that's the message they want to send out to the world...

Maybe, but as someone who spent a summer school breaks worth of time in 2002 getting drivers for a Nvidia GeForce 2 card to run under Mandrake (oh the kernel panics...) to play counter-strike 1.X on wine... It's come a long fucking way.

I use Debian for everyday work and on my private machine nowadays and struggle with the shitty experience of windows when helping someone out now and then. Granted, I don't have much time for games these days, and often fire up the PS for that, but I feel experience can vary as long as you know what you want and manage expectations.

the Chernobyl sarcophagus,

For president!

That one is actually pretty awesome and useful!

Looks spiffy too!

World's largest moveable steel structure

It’s just AI generated click bait.

Yes

“We have 10 minutes to stop global warming or we’re all fucked.”

Kinda, but more like

“We ~~have 10 minutes to stop global warming or we~~’re all fucked.”

Now we just can try to limit the degree of fucked, as not to get completely fucked.

These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Now, this one, I'd like to see.
