He’s right about electric cars not solving anything but wrong about politics not solving it. Science has already provided the solutions like over a decade ago but no one is willing to implement it.

That too. I actually didn’t think of that because roads here aren’t in a grid like ever so I failed to understand how numbering your roads would even make it easier.

It’s because one road is indistinguishable from another while malls, towers and tall buildings in general are quite memorable.

I’m in my 50s and I can’t do paper maps. I can navigate just fine without Google maps but I navigate by landmarks while paper maps seem to rely on knowing road names, which I don’t.

Jägerbombs do that. I have a vague memory of having those for the first time with some friends and because they are quite tasty and the energy drink keeps you going you don’t really notice when you had too much. So my memories of it are basically drinking the 7th one, then (probably hours later) stumbling from tree to tree to keep me steady and then waking up in my bathtub.

I don’t doubt it, Apple has never had good gaming performance. But a non apple laptop in the same price range with X86 aimed at gaming can run it a lot better.

I’m pretty sure the old AMD APUs from the Bulldozer era can run factorio and that’s like a decade old.

Like sure, it’s some metric but I’m pretty sure any computer produced currently can run factorio.

That heavily depends on what the previous machine was. Like factorio runs on my laptop without taxing the system much more than just idling and on my desktop I can’t even tell it’s running based on performance monitoring. So yea, I’m not sure factorio is a good indicator.

Yea, obviously, that’s the case for most people. A lot of people for who a chromebook would be enough would not be effected, yea but for example software that isn’t getting new updates and like all gaming would just not work on other architectures currently.

I don’t use apple’s stuff but alternatives to X86 could be the future. The one thing they need is compatibility with X86 software otherwise mass adoption is heavily crippled. It doesn’t matter as much for Apple’s stuff since their whole ecosystem is under strict control but for general purpose consumer hardware that compatibility is required first.

How dangerous a bear is is pretty much irrelevant to the whole discourse but I want to talk about bears.

Black bears are absolute cowards and aren’t that dangerous unless you are an idiot

Brown bears will fuck you up if you threaten it or if it has cubs but will in most cases not attack.

Polar bears will kill you because they are bored.

My country has the highest amount of bear per person but we only have brown bears and most people have encountered a bear in the forest, it’s not as scary as the idea of getting roofied and rapes. Also getting attacked by a bear is more unlikely even here than getting roofied and raped. You don’t have to worried about a bear attack while you do need to guard your drink.

Not in real life but I have yet to not find one in the comments of anything Linux related.

In the US or Germany: Straight to jail

In Japan: Your organs are now the property of Nintendo to repay this heinous crime.

Rest of the world: it depends.

I had a similar issue on Manjaro when I got a 7900XTX but it was solved after some kernel and Mesa updates. That was about a year ago though.

Last time I installed EndeavourOS I had to connect to the wifi through the terminal. That’s a surefire way to get a beginner to stop installing right there so I would not recommend it.

I have seen arch recommended to first time Linux users more times than I can count. It’s usually said that installing it is a learning experience. If that’s a joke it’s a really stupid one.

Yes, they can but an average user never will and for Linux to get any adoption beyond the enthusiast space it also can’t be a requirement.

Like it’s fine if you believe Linux should never get mass adoption and be a niche desktop OS. All I’m saying is that I want Linux to get mass adoption and for that terminal usage can’t be a requirement because your average computer user, who’s most advanced computer use is installing an ad blocker on their browser, will never open a terminal.

Wait, so you think computer usage should go back to just large companies and a few niche enthusiasts?

I got drinks a month ago with some people and we bonded over our shared hatred of generative AI.

No, we didn’t. Average computer users didn’t exist then, only tech people.
