We gotta figure out a better way than strapping ourselves to a continuously exploding bomb and pulling some serious Gs for 8 minutes.
Wonder how some of those SSTO space plane projects are doing…there was a British one I can’t remember. Used hybrid air-breathing scramjets, switching to internal oxidizer once it was going fast and high enough.
Edit: here is is and I was mistaken it’s not a SCRAMjet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_(spacecraft)
Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin’ dare ya.
Edit: we want Falcon 9’s landing guidance software too.
Switched in 2002…because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.

For me it doesn’t really “fix” anything that I can notice. All my games and software work fine in x11, video works fine. It may be a giant convoluted beast from the 1980s, but damn if they didn’t do a good job of keeping it running well on modern machines.
I mean, you wouldn’t buy a sports car and then a month later post to a forum asking questions about how to tow a 40 foot camper with it, would you? You would research this stuff beforehand, or deal with the fact that it’s not compatible for that job. We can’t put Nvidias thumbs into a thumbscrew and force them to offer more Linux support, so that’s what we’re stuck with.
If you don’t notice anything else different between x11 and Wayland in your daily workflow and have no need for what Wayland offers, then yes your problem is solved and you can ignore the implications.
The only way to truly make a determination if a distro works for you is to actually try it out and use it. I’ve never listened to those people because they all have a favorite distro they will push on you for various reasons. I actually find Debian a breeze to use, and the vast majority of stuff meant for Ubuntu or Mint will work on fine on Debian, since it’s the base of both those distros.
Mint is OK for beginners, but definetly not for me, old ass pakages due to the Ubuntu LTS base
What does that say about me, a guy who’s been using Linux since 2001 and uses Debian Stable? At a certain point you get sick and tired of dealing with bleeding edge bugs and just want a reliable, generic, standardized system you can depend on every day.
ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.
Reject Mint, embrace Debian.
At some point I think some devs might be refactoring a switch-case into an if-else and calling it an “update” to troll downstreams.
I say it like “pwn”. As in, if I’m sitting here chown-ing your shit, you’re pretty much pwned.
This is only true if you’re still using a 32 bit cpu
Bank switching to “fake” the ability to access more address space was a big thing in the 80s…so it’s technically possible to access addresses that are wider than the address bus by dividing it up into portions that it can see.
This comic strip always weirded me out. It’s like the Veggie Tales of comic strips.
Real pros check every line for malware
Noob. How can you trust the underlying libraries and assembly code those functions/methods are coming from? Better get a debugger and watch those CPU registers while it’s running.
Yeah but…most people’s grandparents aren’t going to be riding rockets. This isn’t sustainable for widespread access to space.
