Semantic Satiation

Maybe they have a great support network via family. Maybe they don’t understand what life is like without a job and home.

A huge number of people are unaware that headlights must be aimed. Some are not adjusted by the manufacturer or dealer before sale (Tesla, Toyota). Sometimes a large enough pothole or going over a speed bump too fast will knock alignment off.

Couple this with American police driving primarily SUV’s (higher up, less bothered) and no longer issuing “fix-it” tickets unless using headlights as an excuse to pull over minorities, and we wind up with tons of issues. Feed the prison system- Don’t waste time making the roads safer!

Lawmakers are increasingly separated from those they are elected or appointed to represent by heightened economic status, and are not affected by issues that plague everyday citizens. No longer are they accountable to their constituents- Money drives their political aims.

As a frequent night driver, I often see people late at night using only the decorative running lights (because they don’t understand the light controls?) or with one or both headlights aimed at the ground just a few feet ahead of their car from hitting a bump or a minor accident. Sometimes one or both headlights will be pointed too high. Other times, drivers have their brights on purposefully because their low beams are burned out, or perhaps for their own benefit.

It is a complex issue that I can see only getting worse in the future. Social consciousness needs to become a thing in America.

They dont require physical access, but they require access to a non-root account on the machine. How often do you create accounts on your local machine for malicious actors to use?

When you do a new OS install, do you create a separate user account for guests and then share the login details with random people?

Wow this is clearly a labor of love. Excellent work, and thanks for describing some of your challenges along the way!

OP may have some confusion about what dual-boot means. WinBoat running in the background is the best plausible explanation for this, IMO.

Maybe OP doesn’t like the size of the NyQuil bottle? No stupid questions, but maybe there are questions too vague to be answered?

I followed the same path as OP and your friend in the last week. I settled with Niri and Noctalia and am very happy.

This is actually incredible.

1. Buy all the RAM and video cards. RAM and video cards become too expensive for the average person to purchase.
2. Push AI for everything until dependency develops.
3. Sell remote access to computing power. (AI, Streaming video games, remote desktop, etc.)
4. As the “Operating System Provider,” collect all of the personal information necessary to validate that each user is telling the truth about their age.

Result: Zero Individual Privacy- Everything you compute is processed by a computer owned by a big corporation with a backdoor built-in for your authoritarian government (which is owned by billionaires) to surveil.

Buy all the ram, inflating prices. Sell thin clients and access to computing power/ram. What a scam.

Make Lemmy better and easier to join/access/use. This is the only way.

If I live in new york, but I know that my parents were born somewhere on the west coast, would this still apply? Can I contact my county clerk for the info?

It’s easy to know when you’ve only got half a pie left!

The current model is always defined as, “to the best of our current knowledge,” not, “this is the answer.” Often, a discovery is made that furthers our understanding of the rules of one tiny part of our existence, and through that knowledge come many other breakthroughs.

My understanding is that higher voltages mean that amperage can be lower. There are also gains in transformer efficiency.

Just a heads up- You appear to be interpreting things in a strictly literal sense.

Some people might view this as trolling.

There are instructions on your McDonalds coffee that say, “This coffee is hot.”

You might feel as though no documentation is necessary here, but clearly it was a critical miss for someone.

CachyOS has been flawless on my S/O’s desktop. From an easy install to plenty of documentation available, I couldn’t have asked for much more. During install, there’s an entire step dedicated to checking a box if you want to play games. (To enable non-free drivers).

I don’t think it was a poor choice.
