I don’t think there’s a previous period to compare it to. The US has gone through isolationist periods before (eg 1930s) but never dictatorship.

Thanks for coming back and letting others know what your solution was.

Boot from a USB stick with a Live environment on it. See if you get the same issue.

For most people, using Linux is not a buggy experience. So no, people aren’t gaslighting you. Normally, you grab a modern release like the latest Fedora or Ubuntu and you can get a live desktop up in seconds booting from a USB stick.

Esoteric hardware can be a problem if particular driver haven’t been developed yet. That tends to hit laptops harder than desktops, but it’s much less of an issue than it used to be.

People are asking for specifics because they don’t share your experience and so can’t fill in the blanks.

If true then something is fishy.

The company was in trouble, so the initial investment should have been at a good price. The company has now recovered, and the states investment should have grown with it.

How do you make a 20% loss on that?

So my question is, how much did the state invest and what was the return on that investment (index linked)?

I’m sure NatWest are very happy not to be partly owned by the state.

…but it’s Rust!

Really wish the rusticles out there realised that the language is not a feature for user-space apps. Nobody cares if their disk utilisation tool is in Rust. All that matters is that gives useful information in a timely fashion.

• Samaritans
• Liberty

Neither are perfect organisations but both are trying to help people in desperate situations.

To turn the light off/on

My sound is always that of a cynic.

Probably never. Those 2048 cores are all separate threads. GPUs work with a cluster of cores all following a single thread of execution.

MIMD Vs SIMD.

Not OP, but I doubt that’s what he meant. An APU still has a CPU and a GPU on it as separate things.

Unlike conventional munitions, laser weapons are virtually limitless in terms of ammunition supply,

We have trucks with limitless energy!

It’s their handle.

Sure Dragonfucker.

Netherlands Criminal Code

Part V. Serious Offences against Public Order

Section 131

1. Any person who in public, either verbally or in writing or through images, incites another or others to commit any criminal offence or act of violence against the authorities, shall be liable to a term of imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine of the fourth category.

Thank you for your detailed legal analysis.

It’s still unethical to bar speech that you don’t agree with

Sure, but not if that speech is incitement to violence. Then it’s a legal responsibility to shut it down.

I think I would have preferred to just manifest as a being of energy that could take corporal form at will.

Would have been a lot easier on my mum.

…but then you’re losing quick copy and paste.

Select text then middle click on the window you want to paste it. No keys. Select and a single click.

Of course, if you have more than three mouse buttons you can do both.

It’s arch. There’ll be no issue here.
