I know that the year of the Linux desktop is a bit of a meme but that’s why I was referencing it. That said, the year of the Linux desktop has long come for me personally and only my desktop PC still has a Windows partition but I don’t know when I last booted into it. I won’t immediately ditch my Android phone, but I’m excited to test the viability of a Linux phone for me personally
I have the new Jolla Phone preordered and I’m excited to see how it plays out. Maybe 2026 is the year of the Linux Phone
When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary.
This quote has been attributed to many different people and it apllies here. You don’t need a manager that always agrees with AI
New business venture: sell computers that totally aren’t routers, pinky promise, but just randomly happen to run OpenWrt perfectly and have all the needed hardware.
No, it’s really not. You have the most controversial set of new technical regulations in a long time so the tension is already on. Now you have a cleat best team, a clear second best team, the defending world champion team couldn’t start any car in the second race and a team that can’t finish races. 1-2 and 3-4 are fought out by two team mates each and we can consider ourselves lucky that at least the Ferraris show us some wheel to wheel action, otherwise nothing would happen in the front of the race. Two of the next races have been cancelled for being in an active war zone, leaving a huge gap in the calender. And to top it all off, the most dominant driver of the last 5 years is quite vocal about his discontent with the new rules and cars.
Mercedes might be happy with being the fastest team once more, but they and all the other teams must know that the current state is not healthy nor sustainable for the Formula 1. And while allowing Aston an exemption wouldn’t magically fix every issue, it would be a hell lot better than seeing them double DNF every race weekend for the next 3 months. So yes, I do truly believe it’s in the best interest of everyone involved in F1
Those pit stops may be fast, but McLaren finished all their pit stops combined in even less time. Practically no time you could say
Couldn’t they get an exemption? If can’t fix this, this would mean they won’t finish any race untill June and that can’t be in anyone’s best interest.
It’s always hillarious to me to see boomers on expensive bikes that aim to save every gram while they could save 20kg on themselves.
To be fair, the fuel used by the cars is only a small fraction of the overall fuel and energy usage of F1. The far bigger share is logistics
I usually change it to https://youtu.be/<xxx> which works just the same, but is shorter and easier to edit
While it’s true that F1 originally left South Africa because of apartheid, they did return to South Africa for three seasons in the 90s after apartheid ended. Ultimately it (again) came down to hosting a F1 race being fucking expensive, not apartheid
Shouldn’t a used car sale platform be pretty indifferent about fossil fuels vs electric? Whatever cars are built and sold new today, electric or not, will be the used cars of tomorrow.
Doesn’t that baby have birthright citizenship, being born in the US?
My discord account is about 10 years old. Do they assume I created it as a 6 year old? Account age alone should be enough to verify I’m an adult with reasonable certainty.
Relevant xkcd what-if:
There are 15.43 million artist on spotify, so they’d get about $836,000 each.
I never tried this but your comment made me wonder: there are probably some programs that run better using WINE in WSL than running them directly in Windows 11.
To be fair, that’s an issue for both torrent and usenet. If it’s popular enough, you will still find seeder or reupload 15 years later but if it’s not, you may be out of luck either way
Apparently I haven’t bought one for some time either. WTF is this shit? That must be the most blatant and egregious case of shrinkflation I’ve ever seen
The entire NASA budget is less than 3% of the US military budget. NASA or moon missions are really not the reason the US can’t afford health care
