I mean… It’s not wrong, actually.

That’s the joke.

I flew into Boston from Europe three weeks ago.

I also flew into NYC from Europe earlier this year.

They use images of your face and biometrics. This is how travel works. It has nothing to do with how civilized you think you are.

Have you flown international lately? This is what it looks like to land in the international terminal in most major US airports as well.

You forgot apathy. That’s what works for me.

The third of Arthur C Clarke’s three laws:

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

That seems fine. Honestly, if he’s new to Linux and wants something stable, maybe consider an atomic distro. But Debian is pretty damn good.

I’d wait until he has requests. Ask for feedback about what he feels like he’s missing and make updates as needed. Easier than trying to anticipate.

Dude I’m a millennial, why are you talking like a decrepit retiree? We aren’t that old. You shouldn’t be that sick unless you have some niche conditions that don’t really apply to most “aging millennials”.

The two party system is hot flaming garbage.

In order for ranked choice voting on a national level to get incorporated, the elected officials have to vote to change the system that put them in power. Neither of the two parties’ politicians wants that, since it would then be easier for someone else to potentially beat them, so it doesn’t happen.

If it is not open source, and you are not paying, someone else is and you are the product.

Yeah that was the one! I had forgotten the name. It was actually a really cool use of bots and a fun microcosm of how they interact with each other. From the perspective of like, a college AI research project, it was really interesting.

Kinda sucks that that is just the entire website now.

Ironically there used to be a subreddit for this.

It was intentionally meant to be view-only for humans, and the bots within it were named for and trained on other subreddits. So you have AdviceAnimalsBot, LinuxBot, GamingBot, AskRedditBot, GoneWildBot, etc. They would post on a rotation, emulating what users in their respective subreddits posted. They would all comment on each other’s posts, emulating their respective subreddit’s comments.

As an experiment it was actually really cool and fun to read through. It was also very clear that these were bots and you could identify which was which, and nothing was pretending to be a human for karma (there were no votes in the subreddit).

Unless there is a drastic breakthrough in computing from a hardware company in or energy sources from likely a nuclear company, this is not possible.

Fedora. Silverblue if you want even more stability.

You were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that “regular users” (who don’t know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?

EDIT: Stick a “normal” user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don’t know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.

I think you’re missing that the AI said “The XTX is great, the XT is not worth it: choose the XT”.

SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE just has the best name

It was more money.

It’s always more money.

Wait, is rarbg back? It was taken down a while back, did someone actually resurrect it?

And all that money will be put back into infrastructure and health care and education for the people of Texas, right?

…right??
