Nice, though I wonder about reliability of this thing, as well as capital costs. In any case, an auxiliary motor is a must, and good thing they have that too.
First, terminal is, for the most part, distro- and DE-agnostic. Unless you use something specific to the distro or DE (like package management or working with DE dependencies), what would work on one Linux system would also work on the other. This allows you to immediately get a grasp of any Linux system.
Second, terminal is fast. You can search through GUI for all eternity, or you can type one line that does what you want, saving tons of time in the process.
With that said, both GUI and terminal should develop hand in hand to provide a user experience that suits both regular and power users alike. Windows commonly shifts to the side of regular user, while making it harder for power users to do what they want. Linux as it was in the old days shifted towards power users.
Nowadays, I think Linux finally strikes the right balance - it is accessible and powerful at the same time.
I'm actually waiting for male birth control pills so bad
They would give men more agency on reproduction, aside from vasectomy, which is permanent, and condoms, which can rip or be intentionally poked.
Also, they can be used in couples where a woman is hesitant to take pills herself, either out of reproductive concerns (fear that pills would make them permanently sterile), or the overall influence of hormones on the body and the menstrual cycle.
For all I know, Nostr is a kind of social network with distributed identity.
The problem with publishing elsewhere is not that it's hard or can't give you reach.
It's the scientific metrics dictating your readership, job prospects and essentially your entire scientific career. Not only your ratings are affected, but also ones of your institution, so you have to play by the rules to have a job.
For your publication to count, it needs to be published in journals listed in certain international indexes such as Scopus and Web of Science. These indexes are, in turn, corporate-owned (by Elsevier and Clarivate, respectively) and the respective boards are free to reject (and certainly will reject) your independent publishing source.
As a scientist, we desperately need it. Corporate ownership of publishing platforms is driving science down extremely badly, while exploiting all parties besides themselves.
Many folks at our institution, including myself, simply cannot afford to publish high-rank open-access articles, and with paid articles, our reach will be minimized, especially now that Sci-Hub does not automatically scrape articles after 2021.
The latter also strikes the other way, as many recent articles are simply unavailable if your institution is not shilling millions to subscribe to all possible publishers. So often a seemingly great article addressing exactly the specific part required is behind a paywall by the unavailable publisher.
Finally, plenty of older articles are lost to time and cannot be found because the hosting platforms have gone down and pirates didn't step in timely.
All in all, fuck publishers and let's go fix that shit ASAP. Science is absolutely destroyed by greed nowadays.
Terminal is the only thing that is pretty much universal in all distributions. It is too essential to lose relevance. Besides, even when giving advice to new users, you can either list settings for each specific DE and possibly distribution, or you can just give a terminal command.
Said software must not be resource-intensive, or else you'll have to do GPU passthrough, which not only adds a heap of complexity, but also requires a dedicated GPU.
Also, I think it's much easier to teach dual boot (just install Linux, most installers will do the rest automagically) than proper VM setups.
Still, for experienced users, Windows VM is a brilliant option.
I like women, hence, I'm hetero. Shouldn't be too hard.
Now, you can make categories of dick lovers and vagina appreciators, but "hetero", just as "homo" and the rest, refers to gender attraction, not genitals. No need to gatekeep that.
I have no objection being called queer, but definitionally I'm just not.
There will always be newbie-oriented distros as well as ones for experienced/professional users. It's alright if the former will go towards simplification, as long as we have plenty more keeping the tinkering spirit.
Besides, each and every distro has a powerful tool that can help you do everything: the terminal. No one limits you there, and unlike in Windows, terminal is heavily and commonly used.
Interestingly, it's not about the look of genitalia specifically.
For example, I happen to be a hetero person, yet I appreciate both genitals equally. What matters is how feminine the carrier is. I'll appreciate a nice dick on a beautiful woman, but on a man...ew. Same with vaginas - if it belongs to a woman, it can be very arousing, but you won't find trans men in my bedroom.
It's the same genitals, but their perception is wildly different.
Heck, I remember when Xiaomi had to change fast charging sign from two lightnings to an unreadable vertically stacked lightning because two lightnings in a row were seen as SS symbols by the chronically online. This was just a way to show that more power goes into the battery, Jesus Christ
