Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, so I'd guess The Cars.

Wait...

Yep, a Model Y Long Range would make a lot of sense for us as our next car. But it is absolutely not being considered. Not only do we not want to give the company our business, but I'd be too embarrassed to be seen in one...and this is coming from someone with a missing hubcap on their 20yo econobox.

An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

And I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, that shouldn't matter. Because we should have universal vote by mail.

My state does this, and as far as I can tell there are zero downsides (eXcEpt iT wAsTes taXpayERs' MoNeY). Like the social aspect of voting on election day? Drop your ballot off in person, or just change your mind and vote in person.

So, start a few minutes before midnight, get in 50 laps, then 50 the next day.

Looks like Slashdot no longer allows Anonymous Cowards. TIL.

In some ways I think the filesystem is philosophically the exact opposite of systemd


I can boot my system with an ext4 root, with a btrfs /home...or vice versa. Or add some ZFS, or whatever. The filesystem is (with the exception of some special backup schemes) largely independent of the rest of the system, despite being of core importance.

On the other hand, I can't change my init system (i.e., systemd) without serious, serious work.

Been a while since I've seen it, but one thing that I'm remembering differently than a lot of folks in this thread is that I don't remember it being outright dystopian. Sure, evil corp and all. But Earth government isn't really evil, the arts are still cherished, and while life seems hard it seems more like a dysfunctional society than a dystopia. Just my take though (and doesn't address OP's question).

My fun anecdote is that maybe 10 years back I got a free LaserDisc player. The local library happened to have The Fifth Element on LD, so naturally I rented it. You had to request media at the front desk, so I wrote down the call number and he returned with a very confused look


"you know this is LaserDisc, not DVD or Blu-ray? Like, it's...really big." Not the same quality as Blu-ray, but was definitely more fun :)

I "rehabilitated" a bee this way a while back (hydration, sugarwater, and a very mild heat source). Beedude was lethargic and spent the night in a container inside.

When I released beedude the next day I saw the coolest thing: it flew up, made several circles in the air, and then flew off with determination. I am not an entomologist but it seemed exactly like what I would expect from something "calibrating its compass"/finding its bearings. Super cool!
