Yeah that's always been my assumption. My retirement plan is essentially to just be eaten by cannibals within about 24 hours of everything going full Mad Max.
I have! One of the nice things is that you can do whatever you want without having to round people up or get a consensus on everything, IE: you can just go out and wander about, and if you see a weird restaurant you're curious about you can just go right in and check it out. In a group it's always like: that place looks interesting but A isn't hungry and B is allergic to peanuts and what is there's no vegan option for C, maybe a couple of us can go tomorrow and have a look and then you never do. The downside is you don't get to reminisce about it with your friends later on, and any stories that happen don't really mean anything to anyone else you tell them to.
I know this is off-topic, but Kathryn Bigelow is just an under-rated director in general I think. So many bangers. Also from a quick search I just found out she had a new movie out last year that stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson and Jared Harris? Somehow I missed that entirely.
I don't think even George Orwell could have predicted that one day they'd put the cameras inside glasses, it would be common knowledge that they're in there and the they're spying on you and everyone you look at, and people would still voluntarily buy them with their own money and wear them around.
Yeah the Superfish incident. AFAIK they haven't done anything sketchy since then and if you're the type to just wipe everything and install your own distro anyway it shouldn't really affect anything but still not a great look.
Yeah I like Lenovo in general too! I have an Ideapad rather than a Thinkpad, but this is my second Lenovo and they've both lasted for ages, never had any weird problems, played nice with Linux etc.
I don't even know what blast my microwave is at. I just put stuff in it, run for 45 seconds, if it's not hot when it comes out = another 45 seconds. Repeat until food
I had a very niche problem on Fedora once that I was personally unable to solve, therefore the entire project is trash and everyone should use CachyOS which I haven't managed to break yet!
As a European living in Canada, it's quite annoying to think about having to do extra stuff (even if it is very minimal) because one state in America passes a stupid law.
According to etymonline, it's from the French estandart meaning a military banner, or from the Medieval Latin standardum. These in turn possibly come from the old Frankish standhard, so literally to stand hard like a flag or a long-standing tradition.
I went with .ml because (IIRC, I might be wrong) that was the instance that the people who made Lemmy used. I'm not wild about how .ml censors some words but it doesn't bother me enough to change.
They always trot out the line that it's not fair to put all the coal workers out of a job, but when AI comes along and starts to put everyone else out of a job we're all supposed to just suck it up.
NFTs. I'm too old for that nonsense
