Optimized Repositories for Cachy only have any real effect on newer processors (x86-64-v3 and up). Of course I can still use it on an older machine, but I was asking if my processor (AMD A10 “kaveri”) would be new enough to take advantage of those optimized repositories. (my research so far says no…AMD didn’t add v3 until the next years processors in 2015)

You’re link actually answered my question, though. So thanks! Don’t know why when I searched it wasn’t finding that page for myself. Maybe my Google-fu needs some retraining.

That’s another option as well. It’s between Endeavour, Cachy, or sticking with Manjaro.

Usually my primary consideration is community size and/or team size. Too many linux distributions seem great, but have low support and eventually just vanish, so I always try to stick to the “bigger boys”. Not saying Endeavour is that, but once upon a time it was the new guy on the block and that’s why I’ve waited to consider it. Same with Cachy. I wait to see if they’ve proven their staying power before considering them.

Have the day you voted for, dumbass.

100%. It’s a matter of where does the technology stop being about “useful for us” and starts being “useful for them”.

A digital whiteboard would be a good feature (not ‘necessary’, but cool). It’s when they decide it needs to be connected to the internet that it becomes “is this technology serving us…or serving them” that’s the problem.

I’m not anti-tech at all. Quite the opposite. But I remember the mid-2000s when all of this tech was getting off the ground and it was being innovated and invented for OUR benefit, not for the corporations. That’s when this kind of stuff was fun.

It’s depressing to notice just how much pop culture from teh 80s onward was trying to warn us about this coming shittorm. It’s like, as soon as Reaganomics came on the scene, there were those who immediately saw it for what it was and started fighting. (Punk Rock, Literature, Movies, etc…) and it wasn’t enough. No one paid any attention and we are now where we are because as a culture we got sucked into chasing more shiny shit at the expense of our own good.

I remember when fridges with screens were first becoming a thing, and one way they tried to sell them was the convenience of being able to leave notes, shopping lists, photos, etc… for other members of the family. And even back then, before the advertising apocalypse, I remember thinking, what in the actual fuck makes this 1000 dollar feature any more useful than a 20 dollar magnetic white board and a dry erase marker?

And rightly so!

That’s because Conservatives have no argument other than pedantry when it comes to their villifying of “socialism”.

“They aren’t socialist, they’re Democratic Socialism or Social Democrats, which are totally different from each other and not socialism at all!” (Is their pedantry, in case anyone was wondering)

It’s ALL socialism, just with a few different policies at play. But that would destroy the conservative argument that you can’t have a successful capital economy under socialism. So they play the “They aren’t real socialists” bullshit game.

Cool story, bro.

It has literally nothing to do with the topic. But hey, good rant there, bud.

There was never a fire in Nibelheim. It was all fake.

That guy earning twice as much as you is still far closer to you than to the guy above him. He may make twice the amount as you, but the guy above both of you makes literally 400 times as much (per day sometimes). It’s like you said, we’re all on the same team.

Middle class IS below the poverty line.

The poverty line is a number made up by the wealthy to keep the “less poors” at odds with the “more poors” So that we don’t join forces and guillotine the motherfuckers.

Immediately reshoot Season 8 of GOT with what I thought was going to happen.

I mean, I guess that’s true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.

What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc… is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we’re looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It’s only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it’s translating into something that we call a “tree”.

So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.

Simple answer without typing a textbook is simply that the longer a language exists, the more individual “quirks” it picks up.

Words or idioms from a different language, regional differences in pronunciation that become common, changes in preferred spelling, etc…

Language is protean and ever evolving, which means that no (natural) language is ever going to be without it’s own unique weirdness.

What you’re seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.

/Obviously I’m not serious…

Respect. He built something bigger than him and then knew that it was time to transition.

IMO, consumers aren’t necessarily stupid as much as corporations have very expertly learned to weaponize FOMO through advertising; allowing companies like apple to inflate their profit margin from something reasonable to “whatever the consumer is willing to pay.”

Is that “capitalism”? Yes…technically. But to me, it goes against the spirit of capitalism, which at its heart sums up as “Farmer has a cow that produces milk. Farmer sells the chicken farmer down the road his extra milk and charges enough to be reasonable but doesn’t get greedy because he needs eggs.”

Corporations don’t need our eggs. They don’t believe they need anything from us and so don’t care about being reasonable about profit.

Its “capitalism”, but in my opinion, a perverse, stilted form that should have been kicked to the curb the moment Reaganomics started making it popular.
