Who’s to say we can’t drop them to zero :)

I don’t know why your getting downvoted and have replies with ACAB…

Keep in mind I come at this from an American perspective.

I do have to disagree with the first paragraph. You do not need to access to or to search my phone to perform your job. If the phone becomes part of a criminal investigation then ideally a warrant would be put out by a judge and a Computer Forensics team would take it from there.

At least in the USA, the bad perception of cops is not just because of their apparent lack of accountability and ability to get away with murder, but also how expansive the scope of their duties are. So much authority intrusted in one person clearly seems to go to their heads more often than not here.

I understand in many European countries the scope of a cops duties is much more restricted. I know Britian doesn’t even provide their law enforcement with firearms.

I don’t think Valve is going to do anything about a 20 year old beta being leaked.

Faster memory is cool, but when will frequency and timings be set dynamically per system load? Seems like an overdue efficiency improvement.

I didn’t see anything

Exploding Heads is the only one Im aware. But I am certain there are others; just need to dig for them.

Imagine using Nano or Vim; when you could be using Cat and Echo.

/s

A few exist, they’re just defederated from most instances. Its Freedom of Association at work, the only acceptable form of censorship.

The Fediverse’s demographic is digitally conscious lefties and moderates that desire transparency, accountability, and greater user control.

I never understood the IBM/Redhat hate being directed at Fedora. Imagine being against using Debian because of the Ubuntu Amazon fiasco that happened years back.

Is there any real world testing of Clam’s antivirus performance?

Patience young one, Wayland just implemented that protocol, it’ll be here soon

People learn the same way, we do things that bring us satisfaction and get us approval.

The Mint team recently made experimental Wayland support available. Still very alpha but I don’t think it will be years.

I somehow locked myself out of sudo when trying to give my user permission to read serial devices.

Had to reinstall.

If only game developers optimized their games…

The newest hardware is getting powerful enough that devs are banking on people just buying better cards to play their games.

Toolbx and Distrobox are basically identical.

The only difference is Distrobox is more agnostic and will create .desktop files for containers and applications installed in them automatically. Toolbx you need to make the .desktop manually.

The electoral college complicates things by having each state be its own separate popular vote.

Two states, Nebraska and Maine, will split their electoral votes based on their popular vote. But the rest of the states just give all their electoral votes to their popular vote winner.

The core issue is that a presidential candidate can win 50.1% of the vote in a state and will receive all electoral votes as if 100% of the state voted for him.

A secondary issue is that electoral votes aren’t equal. Each state has a minimum of three electoral votes. This creates a situation where Wyoming, a state who’s population is smaller than our capital Washington D.C., has more voting power per person per electoral vote than California; the most populous state.

Not like there’s a choice to not buy a smart TV.

Everything comes internet enabled, runs software that won’t receive updates, comes with a shitty phone app, and some sort of subscription service either to enable features or auto buy product.

Fedora Silverblue if your wanting security and a “it just works” experience.

Linux Mint Debian Edition if you want stability and a traditional/familiar environment.

Vanilla OS Orchid should be a nice in-between once it releases.

Too bad, so sad
