Stupid people with no self reflection often feel threatened by smart people with integrity. This is why Trump talked shit about Biden, Fauci, Jack Smith and now Krebs. The only smart people he allows around him are suckers with no morals.
An interesting read, but the author is very quick to jump to conclusions. I don’t see how an appetite-suppressing drug could have an effect on any other form of impulsive buying. And even if it did, assuming that 100% of users would completely stop all impulsive purchases is rather extreme.
Furthermore, like any medication, it seems to have numerous side effects, including an increased risk of anxiety disorders or depression, which could seriously hinder its adoption.
But this kind of no holds barred futurism isn’t very surprising coming from Hacker News!
I don’t trust Reddit anymore, and to my knowledge Mozilla has always put user rights before corporate greed. Also Mozilla is a sort of non profit. So you’re gonna need more than anecdotes to change my mind.
Shortening rules actually make IPv6 addresses easier to remember than IPv4. Just don’t use auto configuration.
Linux distros are maintained by people that want to create the best OS possible. Windows is maintained by a company that wants to sell you something.
In the last years I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, crunchbang and PopOS. A few months ago I asked IT if I could change the os on my company laptop from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. It means I have to stay outside the AD domain, but since almost everything (email, teams, OneDrive…) is available on the web, the only downside is not being able to use the wifi projectors. I can live with that. Mint is simple to use, easy on the eyes and stable as hell. And windows games run really well with proton, except maybe Starfield but I can wait :)
Please do starfield next
I had my cpu fan die after a year, so maybe that. They replaced it really fast though.
It’s a Ryzen 7 Pangolin, I bought it almost 2 years ago.
I have one, they are good but you can generally get better quality for less with Dell or Lenovo. Where System 76 shines is its customer support: they are responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. This, plus the fact that popOS is a damn fine Linux distro expressly tuned to their machines, largely makes up for the fact that it might be a bit more expensive than the alternatives. Regarding gaming, I can’t really say… I’ve played a few steam games on it but they’re not the type that require much firepower. Still, no problem there.
This sounds like something straight out of The Onion.
