You could probably do a season about how all the people making up and spreading the conspiracies are all part of a conspiracy...

In fact, Lord Rutherford said that "ALL models are wrong, but some are useful" 🙂

This is interesting because I've been thinking about switching from Debian to Arch. I'm already running Nix inside of my Debian installation to get more recent apps (I don't like how snap interacts with the rest of the system, so I avoid it if I can).

Is there anything else on a more base OS level (like apt v pacman) that you've noticed is different, if you're willing to share?

Makes sense. I can't blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you're not paying you're the product, after all.

IIRC, most legal scholars believe that shrinking the court doesn't get rid of existing justices as they are appointed for life. It simply prevents the appointment of new ones.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Not as much as Google though, so I've been feeling like it's been getting better and better, but it's just a comparative feeling.

Reading the article, you do some registry edits to tell Windows that it's in Europe. Then you uninstall as if you were in Europe. No word on what other consequences this might have.

I mean, you got my upvote already, but one big reason is that Robertson wanted to control all the manufacturing of the screws and the bits. Phillips licensed his patent out and let anyone make them just taking a tiny licensing fee. Made a fortune on volume. Robertson: good engineer, bad businessman.

I cannot +1 this hard enough. There was once upon a time, back in the Darwin days, when I had my eyes on a Macbook as my next computer. Apple Silicon almost got me there again. I'm itching for a Snapdragon X Elite Oryon OMGLOLBBQ SBC, but I'm not holding my breath. I bet laptop makers snap up all the chips for 2024, and then I get one in 2025.
