BestBouclettes,

Sucks to have IBS, it’s hard to avoid alliums…

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

BestBouclettes,

CTRL-C-ing apt because it looked stuck for more than 10 minutes. I don’t recommend doing it.

BestBouclettes,

Thanks, absolutely love the app btw, I’ve used the Reddit one for years and the Lemmy one is just great.

BestBouclettes,

They’re a solution, not the solution indeed.

EVs are not limited to personal vehicles though. I absolutely agree on developing mass transit, be it rail or other, and preventing urban sprawl.

But cars (personal vehicles) and other vehicles will always exist (at least for the foreseeable future) and people will still need to haul stuff (garbage collection, artisans, deliveries, movers etc…).

I’d take an electric garbage collection truck over a ICE one for instance. It’s anecdotal but there are roadworks in my neighborhood, and most of the machinery is electric which is very nice. Electric mopeds/motorcycles are also much quieter than ICE ones. You could also electrify buses, airport equipment, port equipment, trains (the diesel ones), mining equipment, etc.

So no, EVs are not the solution but a solution, and their development is a good thing if we want to move away from fossil fuels.

Edit: corrected thermic with ICE

Fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone

BestBouclettes,

It’s so easy to destroy shit. Much much harder to build something that will work.

What the fuck is that logic even? These people contributed to making a great game that made you a ton of money and you have them fired right after. I can’t see how that makes sense, if they succeeded once, surely they can make other great products.

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

I think it depends on what you plan to use it for.
If it’s just browsing the web or basic usage (email, watching videos, etc.) it’s perfect for a tech illiterate person. You have distros that just work, like Mint, or Pop!_Os (compared to distros like Debian that can require a bit of tinkering, or Arch/Gentoo where you need to tinker a lot more). I’m not certain but I think these distros work well for gaming as well.
If you have specific needs for software like the Adobe suite, Excel or audio/video software, it’s still possible but definitely less accessible.

As far as the difference between Linux and Windows, I’m not sure you’d notice much if you stay at the surface. The main difference is the fact that you actually own your system and you can literally do what you want with it (even irreversibly break it).

BestBouclettes,

Even more so because Torvalds is not his boss and the guy is a volunteer that is not being paid for his contribution.
I’m glad Torvalds was the bigger man and got help for his temper.

BestBouclettes,

Torvalds got professional help for that. Even he acknowledged that it was a problem.

BestBouclettes,

Also, there’s a big difference between being able to pay for something and being able to afford something.

BestBouclettes,

Liking cats can be a good indicator on how they understand and see consent. 👍

BestBouclettes,

Well if by working you mean making rich people richer then yes it’s definitely working

BestBouclettes,

That’s what happens in a quasi monopoly. They would suffer no consequences from it and the others like Mozilla would just have to follow along.

What modes of transport do you really like?

For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users. They’re usually as frequent as buses, but much faster. The stations are much more attractive...

BestBouclettes,

Anything on rails is super cool, subway, funicular, trains, trams.

BestBouclettes,

Daniel Radcliffe. Since I watched Swiss Army Man, I’ve decided that I would watch anything with him in it without even questioning it. He’s doing things he likes and you can see how much fun he’s having. It’s just great. (Guns Akimbo, Miracle Workers, Horns, etc.)

BestBouclettes,

Well yeah they should move them in camps while trying to find a final solution to the Palestinian problem.
Wait, I feel like I’ve heard of something similar somewhere.

Why are we as humans obsessed with mass-extinction of our species?

I was having a conversation with my friend about this. We were discussing AI and she believes AI will destroy all of humanity just like so many others. I personally don’t believe that. I’m aware of all the theories and the multitude of ways that it could happen and I understand that with AI, in theory we wouldn’t...

BestBouclettes,

It’s pretty ironic that the actual mass extinction that’s currently happening is not really acknowledged by most people.

BestBouclettes,

Nope, I’m talking about the sixth mass extinction. The Holocene extinction , caused by human activity.
