Really cool photo! Well done 🙂

Just curious, why is the light for the partial eclipse that specific color vs the full eclipse? Stylistic?

For real. Literally yesterday, reboot my computer and Nvidia drivers that had worked fine the day before no longer functioned resulting in my screen resolution being reduced and unchangeable.

Had to run a few commands to fix it but they are not obvious to me as a new-ish Linux user. Something about dkms being a dependency but not configured?

To recover, I had to:

sudo apt purge nvidia-*

sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/

sudo apt install nvidia-dkms-550

(Reinstall Nvidia 550 drivers)

Why did I have to do all this? I ask that rhetorically, but Id like to know so I can understand what went wrong. Linux is non-trivial and people who deny that are not seeing things clearly. Then again, triviality of use isn't particularly the most salient to me. Rather, it's a mixture of is there enough compatibility to what I use my desktop for, is it reasonably easy to use for most tasks, and does it give me the freedom I want for the device.

You are implying that any data gathered will be delivered to the government upon request (unsure if you are implying with or without a warrant). If you can show me from this article, or even this case, regarding this privacy case that that happened, then yes I agree with you and the fourth amendment applies.

But this issue is between private entities which generally precludes amendments from being applicable. Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged that the infotainment systems collected and stored personal data without consent and violated Washington's Privacy Act.

The "unlawful search and seizure" amendment? Why would that apply here?

Next up, mute detection...

RDC could be a good option to uninstall for businesses where the machine acts as a terminal and you don't want those devices launching RDC to begin with Not sure why it hasn't been allowed already.
