Imo not having any safety measures for the bridge piers was extremely negligent. There was this picture where you'd see cable masts next to the bridge that were being secured by extra thick concrete islands (you can actually spot one in the headline image). Really makes it look like the safety of some cables was more important than the safety of a bridge / people.

Edit: Ofc the incident was caused by the ship

Without context it looks like Musk is rooting for the Belarussian opposition lmao

As an AI language model, I fully agree with your last point.

Same energy

Pornhub video title would be: "Getting all my weak spots penetrated at once by software using 'unsafe custom kernels' "

My bad, I didn't emphasize the Your-way-is-perfectly-fine-part at all and focused more on underlining how it doesn't work for everyone which made it look like I was completely opposed to you.

I wanted to say that both ways, flatpak/snap/appimage and self packaging / user repos are perfectly fine in their ways. The first may be more targeted towards newbies and people who do not want to hassle around with dependencies and the latter is for the more experimental kind of person.

If it works for you and you are happy then there is no reason to change anything. Having the freedom to decide how our OS should be is what drove most of us to Linux in the first place.

In that regard I fully agree with you and especially with "Do what you want, this is just my personal preference."

This may be true from your perspective but won't sway over many newbies / plebs who don't have the knowledge (yet) or who simply do not have or want to take the time for self packaging.

And flatpak, snap and appimage tend to become the standard to get verified, tried and tested software hosted & supported by the official maintainers or the company behind the software.

Now to the personal part:

There was a time when I was motivated enough to get packages from user repos - I actually never was motivated enough to do self packaging so maybe I have missed something world changing - but I got so tired of having to figure out the missing "optional" dependencies that meant the software wasn't working as expected and having to trust 3rd party maintainers when most stuff on flathub was "install & ready" and officially supported or at least hosted by a "verified" source. And maybe distro xyz has a mindblowing solution to all my problems but for the moment I am happy with what I have and not looking for yet another distrohopping and yet another point was whilst distrohopping it was soo easy that I could use the same install.sh containing all my favourite flatpak apps & the "applications" folder containing my favourite appimages no matter if I was on a Debian, RedHat, Arch, ... based distribution.

True that, and Cloud Saves, Multiplayer and all these perks are free too

Good call, you wouldn't need the cooler. Wasn't sure if the CPU comes packaged with one but apparently it does.

Tbh if I wanted to spend a bit more I personally would go for a 4TB HDD too instead of 2TB and maybe a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD alongside the 32GB RAM

I made a build that would have included all of that alongside a Ryzen 7 5800X but that build would have been around 1000$ so quite a stretch from the 800$ mark.

(Tbh it would still fair better than the PS5 Pro if you were to purchase PS+ Essential for more than 3 years - with Extra and Premium it's even worse and since PC games are usually cheaper the free games & discounts don't really seal the deal for me)

Ngl your comment made me look up what I could get for ab. $800

RTX 4060 302.15€

Ryzen 5 4500 67.45€

Decent AM4 mainboard 57.07€

Decent CPU air cooler 21.07€

Thermal paste 3.01€

16 GB DDR4 RAM 35.20€

Semi-Modular 600W PSU 75.07€

500GB M.2 NVMe SSD 34.58€

2TB HDD 35.20€

Case 85.61€

Wifi card 25.10€

PC building tutorial: free on YT or just follow the instructions of your case and mainboard...

Software not included so people can look up what Windows officially charges them for showing them ads

That makes 741.51€ or $817.57 for a pretty damn good custom pc... And it could be way less if you went for 2nd hand parts / better deals

I would rather build it myself than buying a cheap prebuilt one from a no name bc a friend of mine tried that and got scammed and realized way too late sadly

Try to defend yourself and leave when your opponent is a fucking yandere that is armed with two rifles one of which you gave to them because in exchange they promised they would never hurt you or take anything from you by force.

Well you are indeed lucky enough the yandere only threatens to shoot you or your friends and for the moment only fights with a long sword whilst all you have is a kitchen knife and a dagger your friends gave you.
