You were solving some devs IQ test they couldn’t themselves.

No fucking way, I have to go to work tomorrow, my soulless cubicle needs me.

This is perfect for capitalism with Matrix bio-fuel-cells-human/battery tech!

It would have been too easy to just chill peacefully and unbothered in my cozy pod - they would feed me a hallucination of a dead-end job the whole time, complete with all the stupid office buttons I have to press.

Envisioned in the general direction.

Like holodeck tech.

- “Can artificial hallucination run Doom?”
- “What kind of stupid question is that??? Ofc they can, let me show you …”

Ok (especially the mast & boom design), but I think that if “close the doors in event of a storm” isn’t followed there is no possible safeguarding that the manufacturer could have implemented - short of just not offering beaches on yachts which all customers demand. You can’t have several giant open holes in the hull & offer the same safety regardless of if they are open or in a closed bolted position.

If a ferry went down bcs the loading gates were open in rough sea the reason seems clear.

Also for just about any 10+ million moneys yacht that got destroyed there are always unbelievably stupid reasons. Eg a modern 60+ ft yacht beaching on an island at cruise speed is … just stupid.

Same with this ones beach club hatches - maybe the passengers demanded they are open when they wake up & the wage crew had to comply.

As for the keel not being in a lowered position that is just extra stupid, and not just bcs of the weather warnings flashing. Sailing boats need it, and dynamic ones (usually more for performance than comfort) can offer more or less stability by design. And at that depth (or just the fact they were anchored) the keel being up just doesn’t make sense beyond an active decision that ‘its fine’ by the crew.

I’ve diverged from Debian for desktop use for a few years now (no particular good reason, just for fun) but I have extended family with about the same affinity to updates as your dad.

I think automatic updates for regular end users are nice nowdays, especially if you don’t customise stuff too much (DEs, wm, things like that). And even if some issues ever occur in return you get a continuously up-to-date and safer system (imho worth it). And its not like not-updating os solves the issues, it just postpones them, potentially snowballs them (and in that case I just reinstall it).
I switched my dad to Tumbleweed like 3 years ago & set weekly automatic updates, literally no issues with it.

As for serves, Im all for automatic updates in home environment, since my kinda worst case scenario is rolling back to a previous snapshot.
Maybe I could set backup services on a separate node with delayed updates … but I need more motivation (a clusterfuck) for that.

Yes.

But in the last 10+ years the

just set it up for them

is what popular distros just do out of the box, and they do it well.

Not new to Linux but recently I bought a new PC for dad and installed Tumbleweed … and besides installing it (there is a fully automated default settings option even for that) I only configured the wallpaper image (bcs he likes it even it changed every hour or whatever). Not to mention how up-to-date it is and how seamlessly the updates are managed. Oh, and I had to manually install Signal & some Firefoxy extensions, but thats like just user stuff on basically any os.

… as someone who completely involuntary switches everyones computer I somehow manage for some reason (ie extended family mostly) to Linux … normies don’t care that much.

No asking, no thinking, just Linux.

Yes, thx, I know, along with other inaccuracies it’s for the art of shit & giggles.

But the body is old white dude - gotta keep the racist theme going.

Yes, this about covers it (correctly).

And it is pointing at racism (it’s no secret the “had” to get a white male of certain age).

Also I think the Indian part was used just because of that additional funny coincidence. It’s not not funny, but far from good. … tho thinking about it now - using the same joke by having Adolfy depicted as Crocodile Dundee, while still not lol funny, does seem kinda funny.

I prefer Italian women, but you know … when on a road leading to Rome (but walking in the opposite direction for obvious reasons), one has to keep an open mind.

Well, at least it’s casual racism, not professional racism.
Oh, it’s a newspaper, so a bit professional I guess, but like they didn’t use their “best” racists.

/s

Also who are the white folk they are referring to?
The other dude in the race is clearly orange (of some rapey citrus heritage). And the “catching” part, well, statistically speaking as DA she prob didn’t do that much of that color either.

Everything around this is multilevel horribly resist, and yet the reality is several parallel universes ahead.

Yes, def (tho recent beef & pork ghg emissions have actually closed the gap considerably). Murikan boomers lived reckless lives on account of (global) future generations in so many ways.

I was merely pointing out the scales, how giant absolute numbers both in actual emissions & actual growth we are talking about.

Yes, that edit.

Im not trying to be hard on renewables at all, just that in terms of greenhouse gases we are still dumping more and more of them into the air. Just the growth of our carbon farts is a bit slower.

The power demand growth is insane, and the cost might be too high.

Record low share but still record high(ish) quantity.

Even with everything China is impressively doing its not fast enough to keep up with current power demand growth (hopefully just short-term, decades).

Not to be confused with pooping brain.

Why do so many people shit in the shower??

/s

Shitstorming.
Bring a fan.

This shitstorming could have been an email, or a fax.
