Exactly. It would be a pretty shitty prison colony if you just let people leave.

Development cost is still a thing with software.

How are joules less confusing for the purpose of battery life? I’ve heard of exactly zero devices ever that give their energy consumption in joules. I do however, know how to find the power draw of a given device in amps, and then I can very easily estimate how long I can run that device for if I know the battery capacity in amp-hours.

So from two seconds of Googling, it looks to be a proton issue, which zypper dup would do nothing to change. Proton versions are controlled from within steam.

Does the game have kenal level anticheat? Because if it does, it doesn’t matter what distro you choose, it’s the anti-cheat blocking the game from starting.

I don’t immediately hate it. It’s been a while since any laptops/prebuilds shipped with less than 8 GB, and there’s distros out there far better suited to running on low power or legacy hardware.

It’s not bizarre if you look at from the angle that Trump is a Russian asset

Even if there’s no karma involved, and which species you get is completely random, chances are you will end up rolling beetle.

Probably caused at least in part by the constant shitty behavior of people who are loudly convinced that they are going to heaven, who then turn around and tell everyone else that they are going to hell.

Some countries allow it. The major difference is that other people cannot choose for you. Your family can’t “put you down” but you can choose to have a doctor assist.

What if they want to pay for the opposite of that? People pay for a massive variety of things when it comes to sex work.

When they say “2 to 3 cups”, they’re not referring to the unit of measure, are they?

Most consumer units will at least make a half-assed attempt to pick the least occupied frequency.

Each end of the spectrum a has its own issues.

A centrally managed economy can be great for making unpopular but necessary changes, but are prone to massive failures when the law of unintended consequences inevitably shows up to bite you in the ass.

Free market economies are great for letting complexities sort themselves out, but are terrible for quickly making necessary changes, and you end up with “death by 1000 cuts” instead of one but failure.

In the end, I think it’s best to use the right tool for the right situation. As the goods/services are less critical, or the barriers to doing it yourself are low, a free market approach tends to work better. As the goods/services become more critical, and the do it yourself barriers are high, the free market approach becomes increasingly shitty for everyone but the owners.

Hopefully it’s just AI tools for development they’re talking about (though that will be bad enough if RHEL becomes vibecoded slop) and not stupid AI “features” baked into the OS.

I’m guessing that a good chunk of that usage is coming from the TrueNAS VM.

I’m trying to imagine the flavour of Oreos with salsa vs Oreos with nacho cheese, and I think that the cheese option would taste better. Not good, but better than salsa.

Canada was going to be my comparison too. The current exchange rate is about 0.96 AUD to 1 CAD.

That’s not blocking the fingerprinting, that obfuscating the data. The fact that you are doing that itself becomes part of the fingerprint being built. Services like Tor or Chameleon don’t stop the fingerprinting process running, they just make it more difficult (but not impossible) to tie the fingerprint to your actual identity.

That’s not the fingerprinting happening client side, that’s just information supply. Fingerprinting is about what the server does with that information.
