KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it’s been since you’ve used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

Seems like you might be the one who needs to get out of the house…

The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel’s will in this matter

How long? Wouldn’t this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn’t exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he’s been dead for a very long time…

The prize is named after the dude, he doesn’t get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.

Another symptom of extremely silo’d educations. As someone in a STEM field who took a couple years extra to graduate because they didn’t declare a major for two years, I see this shit constantly. Clearly, very intelligent people who have been once again let down by our education system, but this time at the University level.

To the point where I will probably get downvotes and angry replies about how learning that other stuff is useless. But I can tell you that it’s absolutely not. I’m an engineer, and “Logic and Language” is still, by far, the most important course I’ve ever taken…

The person is literally talking about their real life job… Maybe it’s a foreign concept to you, but I’m not sure you can get more “grass touch” than that, bud.

AKA, “let the poors die while I hide out in my bunker, and emerge as a feudal lord among the survivors nearby”

EndeavourOS was the first Linux distro I used when I switched a little over a year ago.

I have not tried any other because I have felt no need. And I’ve gotten so used to using pacman, and Arch repositories for maintaining everything, that I have no reason to try anything else

yt-dlp is the gold standard. Not only for YouTube either. Check out the man page, the amount of shit it can do is insane.

Never raw dog the net like that…

Well yeah… That’s America for you

They’ll probably just end up making a (very expensive) method of obscuring themselves from the recognition tech. That way they won’t need to pass any laws, and ad companies (or cops or anyone else who knows how to jailbreak their hardware. Probably) can still take advantage of the technology in some way.

Because 💰

From OR onto?

I’m just imagining someone making a left from a one-way onto a two-way, and it seems like it would be a very bad idea in that situation?

Depends where you are, but I think a lot of times they’re happy just to get anything.

Yeah I’m sure minimum wage clerks are going to totally feel comfortable asking the armed person (someone who believes they need to arm themselves to enter a shopping center) to please leave.

Never seen this where I live. Not every state is a complete shit hole thankfully

How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)

The US is very large, and this varies wildly by state. Some states actually care about funding/repairing infrastructure. Others, not so much.

It’s awful

Sounds like someone was just being hyperbolic?

We had 1% as well where I grew up.

I like that you snuck an em dash in there 😉
