I don't read my replies

  • Ubuntu to CachOS; What to pay attention to?

    Jump

  • I started with Debian and am driving Catchy now. Catchy will pull you into the terminal more than Debian will, but you don't sound like someone put off by that.

    The good news is that pacman is easy to learn and Catchy's default terminal app is superior.

  • Humanoid robots to become baggage handlers in Japan airport experiment

    Jump

  • Humanoid robots are as dumb as a bag of hammers. It's like when the first automobiles looked like carriages because that's what everyone was used to.

    The only practical reason to make a robot look like a person is so you can fuck it. That's it. Every other task can be performed better by removing human limitations and complexity.

  • Ubuntu's "AI Kill Switch" Is Achieved By Removing Snaps, Initially Opt-In

    Jump

  • So now Ubuntu is the OS where "advanced users can just turn all that crap off".

  • Windows 11 vs Linux on 8GB RAM – Who Wins?

    Jump

  • You're right. Linux has always struggled to compete with hypothetical versions of Windows that aren't available. But you see, for testing purposes, we're forced to use the Windows version from this timeline.

  • What song or songs has been ruined for you because of it being overplayed?

    Jump

  • I put the hook from "Freddie the Freeloader" as my ringtone on a flip phone back in like 2010. Even though I love that song, associating it with someone calling ruined it for me, and I still wince a little when I hear it.

  • GIMP rebranding as WLBR?

    Jump

  • Tech in general has a huge boomer-humor problem in that all those old fucks that wrote the original code stuffed it full of puns, in-jokes, and idioms that are only relevant today in retirement homes in Ohio.

    And I don't mean this is annoying or funny, but as a legitimate problem. It's bad enough that you have to learn English to code, you also are disadvantaged for not sharing the culture with retirement age white dudes from America.

    It wouldn't be so bad if it was good boomer humor, but remember, these are the guys who think "Linux Is Not uniX" is funny.

  • We all choose which heritage to embrace, and which to reject. It says a lot about us.

    Jump

  • As an American, dragging Johnny Reb is my heritage and you have to respect that.

  • To the gun-brained "progressives": have you ever noticed that the elites, owners, and conservatives all promote and encourage gun ownership? Why do you suppose that is?

    It's bad enough that all the rednecks think their hobby makes them Daniel Boon without fools on the left thinking a fetish object can turn them into Fred Hampton. You're just a volunteer gun salesman, congratulations. The NRA loves you.

  • SNAP benefits don't pay for rotisserie chicken. A bipartisan bill might change that

    Jump

  • It's not just hot/ prepared foods. Had a relative who worked in a grocery store and there is like a whole list of what you're allowed and not allowed to buy. Maybe people who know more can fill in the details, all I remember is that you had to buy 2% milk or skim; no whole milk for poor kids. ridiculous.

  • The ‘Missing Scientist’ Story Is Unbelievably Dumb

    Jump

  • If conspiracy people were vulnerable to reason, they'd cease to exist.

  • If we found a way to compact nuclear energy for like cars or homes or whatever without the risk of exposure or an Atomic Bomb, why or why not would we use it considering how long it lasts?

    Jump

  • Small reactors, like ones to power a neighborhood or a single factory are being developed and built right now. Some of these reactor designs cannot melt down and nuclear waste is solved problem, even with the absurd politics.

  • How did old-money people of color maintain their wealth through racist times?

    Jump

  • Black people of wealth maintain that wealth by exploiting labor.

  • After 9/11 America was afraid of a Improvised Nuclear Something made out of used uranium. How would that work? Just get a piece of dynamite and some nuke dust and light the dynamite?

    Jump

  • A dirty bomb wouldn't "work". As in it wouldn't cause any more damage or fatalities than the explosives would on their own. You'd have to hang out at ground zero for a while to get radiation dosages that are dangerous, and other than having to clean the effective area like a super-fund site, the explosives are still the dangerous bit.

    The Chernobyl disaster was similar to a dirty bomb, and no terrorist could hope in their wildest dreams to get that much nuclear material. But even with the scale of nuclear release, and gross mismanagement of the event, today the site is contained and safe to visit.

    Nuclear is just scary, that's it. I've often wondered if the whole idea of a dirty bomb was to get the terrorists to waste any nuke material they found.

  • Has there ever been a country who did not have an enemy or pick a fight? And was pretty much like all of you do you we will do us. kind of like isalationism but charitable when it counted?

    Jump

  • No, it's like college football: when you get a new country you have to choose a rival. If you don't, then it defaults to France.

  • Should I replace my existing hot water system (oil burner) with a hybrid heat pump?

    Jump

  • (A neighbor mentioned that there is some sacrificial part that can be replaced every so often to extend the life of the tank.)

    It's called a sacrificial annode. It's purpose is to attract all the rust to it'self to prolong the life of the tank. They're supposed to be replaced every 3years or so, even more frequently if you've hard watter.

    Most people don't know and have never checked. If it's been more than 5 years, it's probably just a thin red mud at the bottom of the tank. (one of the reasons water is drawn from the top).

  • Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

    Jump

  • Some people need concrete examples because they can't work things out in the abstract. So it's a good thing this is in the NYT, so plenty of conservatives will see it.

  • What tools do you recommend for me to start working as a cell phone technician?

    Jump

  • Take care of your eyes. That's fine work and being able to see well will make everything easier. I'm not familiar with the gear specific to the task, but I notice Louis Rosman using jeweler's lenses and different magnifying glasses.

  • Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America

    Jump

  • Fred Hampton once said (paraphrasing from memory) "a pig is a pig is a pig. No matter black, white, yellow, or polka dot".

    I think this applies here in the sense that race can be ignored as a factor in the corrupt, the same way you can rule out a coherent doctrine. The only academic question about Thomas is has he received a bribe, or is he angling for a gratuity?

    I'm saying this as someone who's tried to comprehend his political/ legal philosophy for years. Observers have often said that Thomas believes that black Americans can find more equality in capital than they can with the franchise. The reasoning goes that black Americans can never rely on voting because they're a permanent minority and therefore perpetually dependent on the good will of white America; good will that can never be trusted. Valid point IMO. But nah... Justice Thomas was just corrupt.
