Nice, so we can increase the temperature of 0.5°C more right? Just for 5 minutes.

Well, correct me if I’m wrong, but RedHat also had more recent updates compared to CentOS, while also being certified.

First article it gave me was for “Human extinction” lol

That’s not the problem though. Even if you have no other OS installed, windows still refuses to install on external HDDs.

Some of my first memories are of my father playing AoE, I don’t even remember when or how I learnt to play the game, at some point I just did and still do.

Linux Mint has a program simply called “Drawing” that does exactly that. You can resize pictures, draw shapes, write text, paint and save as other formats. It’s a big buggy and unoptimized, but it’s cool. For simple things, it’s sometimes more convenient than GIMP.

I understand people may not like this episode and find it offensive, but please don’t delete it, it’s never the solution.

Understand how and why something is racist is the key to never commit the same mistakes in the future.

but LMDE especially will be subject to dealing with older software

Are you sure about this? As far as I know, debian modernized their repos quite a bit even compared to ubuntu, that also sparked some controversy from debian long time fans especially because they wanted more dated, stable software. Never used LMDE though, so I’m not sure if it applies

History showed it many times: people who annex never ever make it better for the annexed. They always exploit and things get worse.

I wonder why apt search on ubuntu and debian must be so bad: on mint each package has a single line and an easy letter telling you if the program is installed or not. On debian/ubuntu each program takes multiple lines, are all green and the only way to distinguish installed ones is to look for an (installed) string at the end of the first line. I like Mint’s apt version so much

Why is the Enterprise NX-01 missing a nacelle?

Pretty sure TNG did it way before with the traveller episode

And brakes as well. EV are, for the most part, greenqashing designed to sell you more cars you wouldn’t need in a better designed world.

My “everyone” was a bit too wide I think. I’m not talking about everyday people of course. I’m talking about 50+ employees companies, that would save money by hiring a sysadmin and running their own servers. I know of companies with thousands of employees that pay millions on Azure and AWS and have no in-house infrastructure. That’s how you get to Amazon running half of the internet

If you tell me gasoline yeah probably (diesel generator to power electric motors is done in big ships), caol I highly doubt it.

But apart from pollution per se, an electric car used everyday would require at least 50% of a household power budget to charge (2-3 kW). If every single ICE vehicle would be immediately swapped to electric, I doubt many countries would be able to cope with the increased power consumption. That’s why we need more energy infrastructure before a full switch. Or you know, less cars and more public transport.

Electric vehicles are not a solution for environmental problems, not now at least, they pollute when building the batteries and, unless nuclear energy is widespread, they will be powered by coal/gas making them pretty polluting. They will be a solution only when we have cleaner energy available.

Bonus: people should stop being lazy and learn to setup a server infrastructure instead of using “the cloud”. Your data are safer, you save money and give less power to gargantuan cloud companies.

If a security researcher is installing on their browser a free vpn browser extension, I assume they are a moron and can’t do their job.

Seriously, not only your first question should be “how are these people paying for 6 millions people using their VPN?”, but your second one should be " why they don’t provide a client of a wireguard/ipsec/openvpn configuration file? So they don’t have access to my webpages?"

That’s good, AppImage is still my favourite of the “distro-agnostic” package systems and I think it really is missing a central repository solution.

It’s a package repository, but I would hardly call it “central”

I’m not saying that’s not true.

I’m saying I’ve almost never downloaded a Flatpak that didn’t require a new dependency downloaded.

When I removed all my flatpk some time ago, I had: Steam, Viking, Discord, FreeCad and Flatseal to manage them. All of them and their dependencies used something arounx 17 GB of disk space (most of which was of course several versions of dependency runtimes), and that was after I removed all the unused runtimes that forn some reason it doesn’t remove after I uninstall or they are upgraded.

I’m sure if I installed more Flatpaks, some dependencies would eventually be reused, but you still need a good collection of them at any given time. So in pracrice you still need a lot lf space unfortunately.
