  • Having yet another thing to keep chargeda usb port is far easier to breakI hate earbuds, I want my same old over the ear $15 sony headphones that last for years

    BT is just another thing to fuss with for no apparent benefit, I have an assortment of BT crap that won't connect consistently.Whatever convenience BT might offer is negated by the time wasted learning the intricacies of the ever changing APPs [software]

  • Infamy or FameNoticed them though right :D

  • Wax is mostly made from oil too

  • For three years we've used this GEM[global electric motors] LSV[low speed vehicle] as our primary vehicle.Legally I'm restricted to roads with 35mph speed limits or less, my maximum legal speed is 25mph, I never bothered to modify the top speed. I'm registered & insured in Reno. Driving the GEM is like towing a trailer, if the line of cars forms behind me, I pull over & let them pass Maybe 4 times a year someone rage passes me & generally ends up waiting next to me at the next lightWith the lumber rack, beacon & safety triangle, I probably appear to be a city or university worker.

    The notion that everyone must drive at or above the speed limit isn't true in my experience. Every trip does not require getting on a limited access highway & blasting along at 70 mph. The time saved is minimal, Small mistakes become serious accidents at higher speeds Every vehicle forum I've ever been on has a large contingent of Boys who want their toys to go fast.The older model Kei mini trucks is too short & narrow to go faster than 40 mph or so safely. Making it wider reduces the ability to lane split :D

  • New safety laws/rules are always in reaction to bad behavior or to shift liabilityI worked in industrial food plants in the central valley of CaliforniaJack n the Box killing children, changed the food industryAll the big retailers & fast food chains started requiring SAP, ISO type material resource planning systems to limit their liability. We had regular drills where we had to find a specific package wherever it might be within the hour as if there was a problem that had come to lightWhile OSHA & CalOSHA exist, our biggest driver of safety improvements was the workmans comp insurance companies. They would do inspections a couple of times a year & we would implement their "suggestions"In 20+ years the only time I heard about an OSHA inspection was after an outside contractor got crushed by a loading dock he was working on & failed to block it up, they were in & out in an hour

  • Mint's ok other than that ubun taint Years ago it was a one man show, not as much now?I came & went from Mint 2010, I don't remember specifics, something about network shares

    My criteria is corporate or community?Tinker or work?Bleeding edge or just worksKDE/qt or Gnome/gtk, there are a few DE's forked from GnomeI like the consistency across KDE apps of being able to have a custom toolbar & shortcuts

    I like community built, user friendly, KDE

    Whatever you choose, install the meta package. You can add a DE, but you will have to chase weird crap & it will never be as good as a clean installI like to install whatever I want to test on usb3 external nvme/sdd/hdd & use the Home [files] on the main machine or copy home as backup, best way to get the full effect of any distroJust to be safe I like to have stuff from different parts of the linux world as backups

    Debian MX just works, been good since they got over their init fixation, got all sorts of user friendly stuff, 6 month release cycle, enough community to keep it workingI just downloaded Spiral linux all the nice touches, but updates direct from debian, kind of like the various arch installers, but not quite so do it yourselfI don't really like synaptic, the text is too small, takes too long

    ArchManjaroAs much arch as you wantVery user friendly, big community, Pamac [best package manager], rolling release

    Red hat Suze is having weirdness from corporate againI'm on Mageia, a long history of user friendly [drak tools], stable, just worksVery good community, 18 month release cycle, nice online version upgrade, rpm packages

  • Looks like open suze is going to experience more corporate bullshytThe parent is suggesting the non corporate part is going to need to be renamed

    I lost interest in open suze after I was dead ended on version 15

  • Elmo put it back in your pants...

  • Copyright imbues the creation with a level of uniqueness that is greatly exaggeratedGiven a set of facts & tools people will come to similar or identical conclusionsSo What?Should that entitle you to be a gatekeeper forever?

    Humans have an urge for legacy. Legacy is probably the most destructive of human traits, it manifest as hoarding a bunch of resources, having as many children as possible, being noticed, being "famous". The last two are having your legacy NOW

    Legacy is self preservation exaggerated to extremes
