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.

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.

For president!

That one is actually pretty awesome and useful!

Looks spiffy too!

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.

Name cheeses out!

Everyone is just living off of interest and dividends from that 1k. “Follow me for hot tips on how to invest your stimulus”

In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-bared fighting.

Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions.

The fight’s popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise.

The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.

Now it is 2341, 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions.

You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary.

The time has come to prove you are the best- to crush your enemies- to win the Tournament.

First? Mandrake.

Now? Debian.

Having been in a similar situation, I now bash script things like that, so it’s ./present_dat_shit.sh and you’re up and ready, even if things bug out. If it’s a really important presentation, you can also add a live boot SSD backup if you’re serious about redundancy.

Good bot

The {"SHOP DEALS AT TEMU"} will continue until morale improves!

Okay, good that’s on record now, a clear statement of intent. So we can record current assets and responsibilities for when they close and fail to properly decommission the plant, the assets can be clawed back, right?

…right?

Do you know that saying, I think it went something like:

… and just when I thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse…they got much worse

I think it could be a situation like that.
