So... Leading a small community in a last stand against all odds? (Incl digging a hole [well / latrine.])

Social media. I kicked out all the "algorithmic" stuff 6 years ago. Still find myself spending hours each day refreshing RSS feeds looking for a cheap dopamine hit.

I would like to give a massive shout out to the fact that a foot is only 5mm off from being a light nanosecond. (Pure coincidence, but imagine if the next God emperor of America changed the foot definition by 5mm to make a truly science based unit of measurement.)

Yes, that is why it states "this is what peak thermodynamic performance." In electronics people are taught that no device is 100% efficient because energy is lost as heat. A heater is 100% efficient because everything becomes heat.

Light is absorbed by materials and ultimately becomes heat.

Wish granted, your university rolls out ChromeOS on all devices.

The problem is, no one on Nix is going to stay on the trail. We are all there since we left it long ago.

NixOS came out in 2003, crunchbang came out in 2008. As someone who swapped to NixOS after reaching the "plateau of stability" and realizing I needed more power, while the distro is a clusterfuck that shouldn't be as popular as it is. It has some very clear and defined use cases, so I don't see it dying any time soon.

It's not a problem for users, it is a problem for maintainers: https://www.howtogeek.com/fedora-44-will-not-lose-32-bit-software/

Nowadays there is basically no reason for mainstream distros to have to maintain 32-bit libraries and dependencies... Except steam.

Not support, on Linux 32-bit is a requirement. Creates a huge problem since it forces distros to still ship 32-bit dependencies to make sure steam can run.

16-bit computers died off before Linux was even a thing.
