I’m also pretty certain that the stock would absolutely tank if he left.

He’s a fucking idiot, but the current valuation has zero basis in reality outside of his personality-cult. If that’s gone, all they are is a struggling mid-sized car company.

It’s also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it’s anywhere close to a majority…

As a data scientist working in ML: it’s essentially all python outside of some really niche stuff

I use opensuse (tumbleweed and slowroll) because I just wanted to try it out a few years back and it mostly just works.

If I were to reinstall today, I’d probably use fedora again, since it’s much easier to use things like Waydroid.

I’m not sure if it’s a big reason, but one thing I noticed when living in the UK is that it seemed to be much easier for local landowners to block things from being built compared to other countries I’ve lived in.

I feel like the Thames path through London was kind of representative of that. I feel like anywhere else it would be a normal walking path along the river, but instead it has big gaps, sections that are private, or even some which are closed certain days.

Just the fact that they wanted to make HS2 go UNDERGROUND through large parts of the countryside was a wild idea.

Both were really intense for me, but Jurassic Bark can’t be topped (personally)

I think he’s just obsessed with controlling the arctic, since it’s going to be ice-free soon (and thus incredibly important for global shipping)

It’s why his 3 main “targets” are Canada, Greenland, and Panama (for the canal)

Yeah I have used opensuse for the past couple years (still do!) but while there is plenty to like, if I were to do a reinstall I would likely move back to Fedora.

Then again, I basically never use YaST, which I suppose is one of the main song points.

It’s literally not any different. Starlink is just a less-reliable broadband internet connection, it has nothing to do with WiFi

For me, I like that it isn’t overcomplicated and just works. It being basic is a big pro to me.

I can see what you’re saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).

I don’t think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.

I only have to use this occasionally, but on my android I use the app “Talkatone” to make free calls to phones. They have paid plans to keep your number, but I tend to just use new ones whenever one expires.

It might not suit your needs, but it’s worked pretty reliably for me for the past 10 years or so.

It depends how you forward images. I assume they are referring to how many/most services (like whatsapp/discord/telegram etc) don’t just send the original file, but do some compression to save data. Do this a bunch of times and you end up with a photo that starts to show noticeable artifacts/pixellation.

That’s my take at least

We used to do 12-hour, all-night Empire Earth games!

Weirdly, WoW was like a constant, ongoing lan party for us.

We would all lug our rigs over to one guys house and play, even if we were in separate raid groups

It’s hard to imagine, but modern inequality is actually very extreme in historical context

I think this is more agreeing than contradictory. If more immigration is desirable, then expand legal immigration.

As you say, a system built around exploiting illegal workers is bad for everyone.

On the one hand that’s true.

On the other hand it’s up the country to decide who gets those documents. Anyone without those shouldn’t come in.

If more immigration is desirable, then expand legal immigration.

They’ll probably strike down one or two of them just so they can claim “look, we’re still independent!!”

Of course the ones to get struck down have already been agreed upon

It’s definitely still true in Central Europe
