5 gigs is a bit high; just checked and my Mint Cinnamon installation is idling at under 2. I used to have an old 4GB Macbook Air with Cinnamon, which ran acceptably considering its specs (and was a heck of a lot faster than MacOS).

This is a community for Linux memes; it’s not meant to be that serious. But if you do want to be serious, the fact is that a huge percentage of PCs currently in use (over half by some estimates) do not meet the Windows 11 requirements and therefore cannot upgrade. I’m sure those users care about the requirements.

I’m so glad I deleted my Instagram account.

All your amazing astrophotography and yet that’s the one you choose as your best? :p

I’m on an Mbin instance, which federates with Lemmy but I guess doesn’t get recognized as a proper Lemmy link. These two links to the actual community instances should work: first post second post

Linux doesn’t actually need any functional components to run; if you put on enough pairs of programming socks and take some psychedelics you can simply sit in front of a blank screen and hallucinate a fully functional Linux distro!

If you upgraded an existing installation of Win 10 you should be fine, AFAIK the internet requirement is only for installing a new copy of Win 11.

Of course, just make sure you paint a penguin on the side first.

Best by the numbers, this post on programmer_humor.

Best in my opinion has gotta be Logsday. I literally went outside and lit an edited calendar on fire for that one. :D

I like the comments here a lot more. Reddit’s comment ranking algorithm mostly prioritized highly upvoted comments, so the top comments on every thread would be the earliest ones, and anything much later would be lost in the sea. Here new comments get ranked higher than older ones even if they have fewer upvotes, which gives them a lot more visibility.

Windows will sooner kill itself than learn how to play nice with others.

Linux System Requirements:

• Computer (optional)

Sometimes knocking an idea down is justified, especially in the case of astrology.

I think I’m too young for Facebook, and I deleted my Instagram account about a month ago. I was primarily using it to socialize with friends, but decided that wasn’t worth the privacy cost.

It’s a good plot for a book, but as for actually happening in the real world haha no way.

That comes out to a speed of 7.5km/h or 4.7mph, barely above a brisk walk. Good to know if I ever need to outrun humanoid robots it won’t be hard. (The self-driving cars are another matter).

Robots are a lot more energy efficient than humans. Human muscles are around 25% efficient while robotic motors can be >90%. However they lose massively in energy density. 100 grams of carbs has 1.7 MJ of energy, which is equivalent to 2-3kg of lithium batteries. A human can run for hours on a kg of calorie dense foods, while a robot would need a bulky battery or constant battery swaps/recharges.

A small test reactor paves the way for bigger, more practical reactors. You can’t start with a full-sized gigawatt model; you need to test and validate your designs at a small scale first.

Let me guess, the old “change the text background to black” redaction trick? A classic.

The AI part; there’s so much actual porn online and they decide to look at crappy computer hallucinations?
