Yes, you maybe need a “bandwagon” or some FOMO. Other psychology crap like that.

Yes, I think “network externality” more than “sunk cost”

They do buy bigger and bigger cars though, that probably does make them safer.

If the 1 and 3/5ths interpretation commented elsewhere is right, they might just have ran into a few pedestrians. Now the driver is giving an involuntary lift to a few dismembered body parts.

I suspect Musk’s welcome is as long as his chequebook. I think trump sees the $, if his “advisors” are offering him less $ I doubt Trump cars to listen.

The only issue might be if any of it could be proven to be criminal bribery - that seems unlikely though.

Exactly, and same for Israel in respect of settlers.

There’s a good reason Netanyahu chose to install hamas and usurp and kill Arafat.

States/ Nations are usually willing to sacrifice a fair number of their people for the benefit of those in power - I’m sure the benefits trickle down though.

99% of authors or commentators or journos writing about climate change need a 1-tonne solid carbon periodic table smashed over their head.

Everyone in UK would be taught pythagoras, periodic table, evolution at secondary school. Some learning disabled or who DGAF might skip over it or won’t actually learn it; but it’d be at taught in basic terms on the general syllabus for most people before age 16. Certainly anyone specialising in science / maths at 16-18 would be expected to know this stuff at a reasonable level from secondary school.

Having had to choose only 3 subjects at age 16, it’s very limiting for young people who don’t really know what they are doing. You drop one thing and it rules out a whole swathe of things you might never have known would be useful. I sort of wish i’d been forced to do chemistry longer, I dropped it because it was boring and I was allowed to choose stupid shit that proved FAR more useless (Economics).

I’d have probably ended up doing something more interesting and maybe even useful with my life - though maybe the grass is always greener.

“50 Phil Ochs fans can’t be wrong” is like the original “There are dozens of us”.

That’s why you’ve got to use use lgbtrfs

Have you looked at ubuntu touch supported devices?

That might do some tablets - although i guess they’re focussed on phones - and I think have very little resources.

Just add 2 more wheels and a big bumper front and back, maybe a passenger seat or two and a trailer behind it, enclose it in a weatherproofing shell then it’d be cooler.

They’re more likely to lack tools facilities and equipment and maybe training; I doubt there are many who would actively block something that they had readily available.

Unless they were also under the control of psychopaths / sadists / sociopaths.

Yeah interesting - I don’t know how many say flatpaks will work on arm. I guess you’re basically able to run most of what a raspberry pi can or whatever is in debian’s arm repos though.

On lineage you can use auroura store too for a less googley halfway house.

The article mentions waydroid - but it doesnt go into that much detail on it. I find waydroid to be very good on a decent linux pc - but does it work well enough on ubuntu touch. I’d not do anything heavy though like mobile games on waydroid - that’d seem wierd.

Is there any benefit/cost though to effectively running your apps via a lineage v.m?

I’d think if there is it might come down to some wierd security thing but probably at cost of startup time or performance, or maybe even power consumption.

Make some other stupid meme or joke that windows does understand then. Maybe it turns our death is secretly using adobe creative cloud on a windows to design the gravestones.

I m not going on /c/windowsmemes to make boring serious complaints about why I don’t understand regedit.

You’ve got to at least to be funny about it on a meme, otherwise it’s just depressing. Theres enough deprssing shit on the serious linux forums.

Or maybe there should be a new meme community linuxwindowstrollbait that is for snarky comments.

Or maybe I just stop moaning and unsubscribe fron this one.

Linuxmemes should instigate a new rule.

Replies should not be serious, boring and/or don’t to know seem to know what a stupid memepost is for.

Windows users should be rebutting this with equally stupid memes about xorg.conf or cups or maybe another panel where death is unable to kill windows because it lost the archlinux-keyring to unlock the scythe.

They need a professor to tell them what Liz Lemon did in one lunchtime https://youtu.be/vyZkHjgzGRM?t=83

You’re talking about free and open competition in a perfect competition marketplace. This is an ideal (similarly far-fetched as communism/socialism*) where there are low barriers to entry, and consumers have good information to make well informed choices. In this world competition bid’s down excess profits in the long run - essentially to consumers benefit. not the benefit of producers. wages are low but it doesnt so much matter becauases competition keeps prices low.

Capitalism wants to increase the return to capital , so it works against competition to create market power (by many means including legal system power and regulatory capture as well tacit or explicit corruption) both over consumers and over their own supply chain (e.g. employees). It inherits its legacy from rentierism and landowners who also like to monopolize land, ration it and have tenants bid up rents.

‘objective sources’, on economics? Good luck. economists are so bi-assed that most of them can spew shit out of two holes simultaneously.

• both communism and perfect competition probably work fine in a small closed community, where everyone pretty much has repeated interactions with everyone - visibility - and there will be other examples where they each work fine-ish, but on a large enough scale, anomynity and human nature come into play. The reality is human trust is excellent, but some people will abuse it when they think they’ll get away with it and that destroys it.

I’d like a comparison to lineage OS. There seems to be a very short supported device list for ubuntu, but maybe thats how they keep the install process simplified. Cyanogen always relied a lot on xda-developers community i think - so many unofficial devices supported just by enthusiasts willing to risk bricking devices.

I recently upgraded to a (used) sony XA2. it was a right pain to install lineage os - way harder than previous samsung S3/4/5 type phones. It was mostly just trying every goddamn usb port on every pc in my house until finally one with which ADB would actually flash the bios.

I’ve never bothered to researach exactly what are the security issues with lineage OS , it’s something where a decent bit of journalism might help. I’m not very into many apps though so i suspect that lowers the risk to me.

I’m happy with lineage os too.
