  • I don’t know why all you guys hate the King so much. Canada doesn’t pay anything towards the Royal family except the cost of visits, it’s a purely ceremonial title. He has no power, and he uses his influence to campaign on the same things people on here like climate activism and access to healthcare. You may not like him but he’s a plus for everything we care about on here.

  • Is this real? And what’s 6th grade for someone who isn’t American?

  • I think if you wiped everyone’s prior experience and knowledge and all that stuff, like just wiped the slate clean and presented all the OSes for what they are and let everyone choose which on they got to use, things would land pretty much where they are right now. Linux is generally way easier than it was 10 years ago but it’s still far too tricky for most normal users. If it’s too difficult for them to use then they effectively don’t have a computer and it’s useless to them. Linux may be free but after dropping £1000+ on a laptop people don’t mind so much paying an extra £70 for the software.

    The two most important things to normal people are good looks and ease of use and Linux comes in last in both of those races.

    Linux isn’t for normal people, it’s made by nerds for nerds.

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

  • Clueless.

  • First server: Buying hardware in a developing country

    Jump

  • I spent a few years living in a developing country in Africa so I have some appreciation of what you’re going through. I used to find lots of technology shops on Google Maps, etc, then when I got there they just sold phone covers and SIM cards and knock-off iPhones.

    I can’t really offer much advice but have you considered just making something based on a second hand laptop? A lot of them are still pretty powerful just with old batteries and they’re designed to run efficiently.

  • Transportation chief seeks to weaken fuel economy standards, calls Biden-era rule 'illegal'

  • Once they’ve done that they can get back to wondering why no other country wants American cars.

  • Do you talk in your sleep?

    Jump

  • I have done in the past but it’s not a common thing. It really something I did when I was a kid. In the last 10 years I’ve actually done a bit of sleepwalking. It only really happens when I’m drunk but it’s always been quite fun as I usually just hear the stories in the morning. I’m not just wandering around aimlessly, there’s usually some kind of logic going on. You know when you’re in a dream and you have some kind of weird backstory to what you’re doing but you don’t know how you know it, you just know. I’m kind of walking around slightly conscious of where I am but with some weird backstory. Most of the time I just think it’s daytime and I’m doing something, like going to work.

  • Polish conservative Nawrocki wins presidential vote, electoral commission says

  • Poland’s always been pretty right-wing.

  • My car’s 25 years old. Can’t think of anything else.

  • IPv6 for self hosters

    Jump

  • I always thought it's kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There's also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that's 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we're talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we're also looking to inhabit other planets.

  • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • Pushing Daisies.

    Also Game of Thrones.

  • Steam Workshop support comes to Civilization VII in June with a new update out now

    Jump

  • Is this game good yet? A lot of people seem think it’s not but I haven’t played it yet.

  • Looking for a theme that looks like this

    Jump

  • It looks like the kind of interface they’d use in classic Pokemon or Stardew Valley. I like the colours.

  • I actually know a couple of teachers at private schools and they say the people being hit hardest aren’t the rich twats but the families who scrimp and save just enough to try and give their kids the best opportunities.

  • [3D Pinball Space Cadet] Someone ported the iconic pinball game from Windows XP to Android, and it’s free

    Jump

  • It’s on Linux too if anyone’s interested. I was playing it yesterday.

  • I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation

    Jump

  • I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.
