Ah hahahaha!!!

Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!

Agreed. But you don’t have to go that far to make rain and snow transparent. And radar might not be a bad idea to have on self driving cars, as long as it’s not the only thing.

LiDAR can be done with different wavelengths. It should be possible to make one that can see through rain and snow.

His disdain for NASA’s caution is obvious.

What a dumbass. If we send people in the quickest possible way (or any way at all, really) and they all die in the attempt, that will set the whole project back decades.

The answer to the radiation problem is better shielding, not a fundamentally unsafe mission.

btw it is not the nuclear propulsion that I’m calling unsafe. It is the idea that we could do without redundancy. That’s just a monumentally stupid idea.

I truly hate that phones don’t readily have file browsers and folders, and when you do add them, they aren’t effective. Mostly that would be useful when moving files between phone and computer. It’s not simple even to get the computer to mount the phone’s drive, probably because everyone is fine with having all their files “in the cloud.”

I could be mistaken on this: don’t they get just one try?

an all-in-one app for running a Linux distro in a VM.

No, it won’t

let you run Linux apps on Android

It will let you run Linux apps in Linux

Exactly. In other words, they have not been “allowed to infest” the fediverse.

I have not noticed any threads content in Lemmy.

I use Mulvad, and seeding seems to work for me. Am I missing something?

Electing someone who believes that we should have laws and enforce them is exactly what we should do.

When she was a prosecutor, it was not her job to change the laws or decide which ones to enforce. If we don’t want non-violent drug users and truants prosecuted, then we should change those laws. We have a process for that, and it doesn’t include prosecutors making those decisions for us.

I thought the situation was a little like Android. Google develops an open source version (along with as many independent developers who wish to contribute), then sticks on a bunch of proprietary BS and sells that version to phone companies. If chromium is to chrome like vanilla android is to android with g-services, then I guess my question really becomes: is google making this change in the underlying code base, or just in the BS they put on top?

Or am I confused about how the connection works between chrome and chromium?

Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?

That’s what I thought. Thanks so much!

“Unlock the door” is a really strange way to say “lock the door.” What a dolt.

Did your computer serve you ads?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer send an archive of everything you’ve been up to back to the parent comoany?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer cost hundreds of dollars in software alone?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer’s OS get an upgrade, but you can’t usr it because your hardware is"old?"

Linux doesnt. oot

Does your OS just generally suck?

Linux doesn’t! Ooot! Ooot!

• I’m sorry, I just really enjoyed that typo ;-)

So frustrating that their logo is a nice looking round watch, but their product is an ugly rectangular one.

Please don’t take this as one of the rude responses you refer to above - that is not my intent.

Why do you want to use Mint in the first place? The only thing that distinguishes Mint from any other Debian derivative, is that they have made all these software choices for you, and you don’t have to do anything to get your system ready for you to be productive. It’s aimed at folks who don’t want to think at all about any of the concerns you have about customizing.

If you don’t like the choices Mint has made, there is literally no reason to choose it. Start with a minimal version of Debian, and add whatever you want. The end result will be the same as starting with Mint and swapping things out. The only difference will be the address of your repositories.

If you can give a reference to any such book, I’d be very interested to see it.
