Ah right. I’m an idiot.

One of us could probably put that together pretty quickly lol

But if we did want to build a new distro recommender… Maybe there are like 5 or so questions that would be relevant.

Just off the top of my head some possibilities:

If you’re a beginner, Mint is a good choice. One could argue Ubuntu (noobs don’t gaf about snap if they even know what it is). I think noobs would want good GUI tools and a very popular, very polished distro. So issues are infrequent but finding answers is easy.

Into gaming? There’s a few distros that come up like Nobara. (I’ve seen Manjaro mentioned but idk).

If you want something that looks kinda like macos there’s Endeavor. Does anyone recommend that one these days? I don’t usually see it mentioned.

Idk.

You’re probably right, an rng that chooses between a few distros might be better lol

Is it not possible for Rust to optimize out unused functions as with C? That seems …like a strange choice if so.

agent_flounder, 8 months ago

That makes a lot of sense, thanks.

You might want to check out OpenMV Cam which does some cool machine vision stuff and runs MicroPython.

I would probably start looking at OpenCV software for RasPi if you need more processing power.

I’ve been playing with ESP32 lately. I’m frankly kind of shocked at how well documented the API is and how well it all works. And it’s mostly open. I haven’t done anything with ESP32 Cams I bought, yet. No idea what is possible there or where to start.

Hopefully that helps.

Meanwhile I’m over here trying to wrap up a simple Bluetooth-enabled amp project for the last couple months lol. I should do more with machine vision.

Ugh I’m an idiot. Thanks.

I hardly ever heard it. Like maybe a couple times in my whole life in the US.

I have often chosen MacOS over Windows, though Windows has come a long way since 95. It isn’t as infuriating to use anymore.

I’ve been a Mac user off and on since the late 80s and used Windows and Linux off and on since the 90s.

For the last 10+ years: Mac laptop, Linux desktop, and a Windows laptop for the occasional times it is convenient.

Well, the intro tracks for ASOT and ABGT kind of skewed things. But anyway…

And apparently I listened to Sia - Elastic Heart a shitload of times. 🤔

Me: writes code^1, doesn’t comment

Me, six months later: what idiot wrote this shit?!

Like I tell my kid who is constantly asking “how” whenever we watch Star Trek^1, it’s best not to think too hard about all that lol. I mean, I don’t love the Tuvix episode for the science…

1 Somehow this never happens when watching anime 🤔

agent_flounder, 9 months ago

Both can be true.

agent_flounder, 9 months ago

I hear that if they ever do a 3rd movie it is going to burst on the scene and really explode from there.

agent_flounder, 9 months ago

I never imagined such a thing possible lol

And how do we know the dealer isn’t going to turn it back on after every service visit?

agent_flounder, 9 months ago

It’s like when zombies or Frankenstein’s monster pops their heads off for laughs.

That’s seriously fascinating stuff especially as a veg gardener. Appreciate the detailed info and insight!

While we haven’t detected dark matter in a lab, it isn’t on the same level as a metaphysical soul.

I’m not aware of any physical phenomena for which a soul is the best theory currently available.

Whereas dark matter is the best theory so far to explain observed gravitational effects^1 that cannot be explained by general relativity and detectable matter alone. Yes, it may be due to something else (other theories exist and maybe someone will come up with another better one).

Would it help to know how much lead and cadmium are in many chocolates?

agent_flounder, 10 months ago

The latter. I also love chocolate but between op and the heavy metals I am also facing an unhappy choice.

Get back up.

I try to forget it

agent_flounder, 10 months ago

Yeah boiled here too. I liked it sorta but discovered much later that roasted is way better.
