Self driving cars.

We are on the early stages currently; ignore what Tesla/musk says; in 10 - 20 years full level 5 autonomy will be common place.

In the 80’s the Cray 1 supercomputer was made, now I have so much more computer power in my pocket its frankly ridiculous. And it’s runs on milliwatts rather than kilowatts.

I came here to say this, well played.

I think they were referring to a different Linus

I know it may sound callous, but if you have skills. A lot of countries are looking to fill skill shortages, you could emigrate to somewhere with a sensible health system.

Failing that, as someone else pointed out. Grassroots action!
Get involved, change the narrative build up from local level. Shooting CEO’s is not a long term solution, yes it grabbed attention, yes it showed how fucked off the population really is… build on that momentum.

That doesn’t really make much sense.

My lack of FOMO I generally ascribe to my aphantasia.

I also don’t feel nostalgia. I get that others do, but I am a forward looking type, and am quite optimistic.

Other than pulp fiction, I don’t rate any of his movies.

Choose your starting level!

Yep, I never could get past the taste of plastic in my food.

Only microwave in glass and ceramic!

A 1.8%pa degradation over 10 years would be, 83.39%.

Linearising it to make it “more intuitive” I guess.

But 2%pa degradation gets you very close to the 18% over 10 years figure. 1.9649% to be more precise.

Over 20 years you are down to ~67% and ~55% at 30 years.

It works well with syncthing…

But we know for sure that these chemicals are modifying the weather!

I guess, crazy people just need to shout at clouds sometimes.

So no more releasing CO2 or CH4 (chemicals) into the atmosphere then?

I tried Kimchi and lamb burgers they are delicious.

Education is totally the way, but while the education is happening, a little protection from the world is warranted.

I also understand that he will likely, figure a way around the controls I put on.

But that is part of the education.

Honestly, ultrawide for spreadsheets is awesome.

I use them all the time, it has its place…but people tend to overuse them.

Nothing worse than someone sending me data as a fucken PDF file. Hey here is a table with a bunch of data, it is spread over multiple pages, and no you can’t get the data as a csv file. Because I want you to spend a lot of time verifying that the data has imported correctly.

I was just about to say that, tis a cursed format.

As someone who deals with lactose intolerance.

Just don’t make it a big deal, if you can’t eat something, don’t eat it. Your needs are important, but other people are equally entitled to their own enjoyment.

I hate vegans who only do it to virtue signal, it is a personal journey keep it that way.

If someone is thoughtful enough to ask about your dietary requirements, they are probably “good people” and won’t care about it. They will just make allowances for you.

An anecdote about dietary requirements:
I have a sister in law who cannot eat onions/garlic/leeks etc… she does make a big deal about it, no dishes can have those ingredients when she is around.
Her intolerance is about at bad as mine, she gets bloated and gassy… So not dangerous, just uncomfortable.
It always feels difficult to deal with. My view is, if you want to make potatoes with cream sauce, enjoy it I’ll eat something else.

Great comment.

I switched full time in 2010, but was mostly using Linux from 2008…I don’t really miss my 20’s, maybe the physical side of being sub-30.
