I write better code everyday because yesterday code always looks bad haha.

The motor runs only for a second or two each time. In the moment, it takes more current, but otherwise isn’t that active.

If I had to change the batteries once or twice a year, I could probably live with that. But every month or so? Bad engineering

Probably a mathematician or physicist somewhere.

I hate reading the code I wrote two days ago.

No wonder. The hassle of changing the batteries so often is not worth it.

That is fucking dumb that you have to replace the battery every month.

We have low power mcu that can go down to a few uA and make battery last for years, but this company decided that it was beneath them.

Bad engineering overall.

What is causing that? Anything I can do to offset that when my children will be old enough for it to be a problem?

It’s always like that. When the only goal is more growth, the C-Suite will fuck everyone and anything over.

But people gotta eat and be homed, so that won’t change soon.

The market cap is the number of share multiplied by the current share price. So this is a made up number because the reality is that not all these share would sell at the current share value.

Essentially, Apple Market Cap raised because people bought shares at a higher price after the announcements.

Because a GUI makes everything a lot simpler. I only started understanding how git works the moment I dropped the GUI and had to resolves issues through CLI.

The pandemic shortage marked the end of the RPi as a hobbyist board. All the stock when to companies, and every hobbyist shop jacked the prices, and scalpers even more.

Most of the time is for the owner to cash out. Either now, or in a short time when the ramp up is done, for more money.

The latter. It has been BIOS for so long that it is ubiquitous now.

Spring where I live is worst.

Lots of snow, lots of rain so that means a lot of slush, and any outdoor activity makes a mess of whatever you are wearing.

With the climate changes, we also get wild spikes of hot/cold weather. So one day you are in t-shirt and the next day you have a to wear a snow suit.

It depends on the actor. When you have an actor, like Gary Oldman for example, that really transform into its role, they can play in an infinite number of movies and they won’t get boring.

But actors, like The Rock or Kevin Hart, that just play themselves over and over again get tiring fast.

You are right that the terminal is a really useful tool. But for the average user, the terminal is intimidating.

No other OS works like Linux in term of UX. You can use iOS or Windows without a command line all your life.

As this post describe, it is next to impossible with a Linux Distro.

For the people that want Linux to be mainstream, this is an important hurdle to go over.

I know that Windows sometimes shit the bed where you need to edit a register or use PowerShell, but for the vast majority of people, it won’t be needed ever in their life.

It worked differently before because the information network was orders of magnitude slower and data was expensive as Pope shit.

Nowadays, the information is almost instant and everything is interconnected and data storage is cheap so we got big data with people paid solely to boil that down to algorithms that squeeze money as much as possible from customers.

Just look at all the streaming services that makes you pay more if you don’t want ads and they resell your data. Triple dipping baby

I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I’d like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t have a lot of time these days, so my PC is mostly used for gaming at the moment. So I am not too worried about the OS being immutable if the gaming is good out of the box.

I still keep a kubuntu os and dual boot the other os I want to try on another ssd.

How is Bazzite for other things than gaming? For me, mainly embedded dev and productivity.

Linux Mint would be an OS built on the Linux Kernel.

Some people have a hang-up on calling any Linux kernel based OS “Linux”, because unlike its competitor, there is a lot of OS flavors.

You have “main” OSes (Debian, Fedora, etc.) and derivative OSes based on these “main” OSes.

Linux Mint for example, is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian.

At this point, it is semantics.
