Watching porn.

Just remembering about how much carbon I spent reinstalling those windows 95 (21 diskettes) / 98 (38 diskettes) / SE / 2000 / XP. Yep, knew those serials by heart. Oh, yeah and just shy of diskette #18 - "Disk read error. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" - They'll never recover that carbon, neither I my neurons back.

That's the other thing where I can say "I do". Fortunately Apple fixed that too, with the newer thunderbolt cables that can go directly to recicyle bin.

Off-topic to msmash. Why the fuck would you link a stupid story to a paywalled article?

revenue != profit

Nope, it was Elasticsearch

Try this

"smugglers had been bribing inspectors and faking quarantine certificates to smuggle the animals across provincial borders."
"a vet forged certificates for infected animals."
Same chinese who left a 2 year old child to die, tripped twice by trucks on the middle of the road in broad daylight. Looks legit to me.

Maybe youâ(TM)re not doing the right kind of exercise. You can try something more exciting like martial arts or other contact sport. Having to be always vigilant and spar with different partners and styles make each training different. Itâ(TM)s exactly the opposite of pedaling indoors for several hours and watch the paint dry.

That would only make you feel more comfortable not make you safer. Considering currently there is no practical way to know your iPhone has been hacked / exploited, I see not point on this statement being valid. A successful developer could turn evil and buy hacks to include in their apps and neither Apple nor you would not know it unless it's too late (check out this Facebook story).
A security protection application would need elevated access to the system to be able to scan for memory corruption or illegal system access, something not possible to my knowledge.

Unless I have that, the best I can do is to keep the number of apps to a minimum.

how about fixing slashdot?

Fully agree and huge $ spent for brainwashing. Convincing you to take that daily aspirin, etc.

Can you please back that statement with proof? Thanks!

Call me outdated but reality proves the most advanced "AI" known are called Facebook/Apple/Google contractors.

Well, as a Fedora user for a decade, after the last hardware refresh few years ago, I switched to Linux Mint because:

1. 1. The new system was using NVME drive and under my configuration Fedora was freezing - once/twice a day. Never happened under Mint btw
2. 2. Linux Mint came with Cinnamon spin, a much better experience than vanilla Gnome 3. (I think now it is available under Fedora as well)
3. 3. Didn’t like DNF/YUM transition - but will have to live with it anyway in CentOS 8

After these years I still hate the packaging on Debian, but Debian/Ubuntu based distros still feels like making more easier to run latest apps with bugfixes (through PPAs). So I still weight if I will go back to Fedora at work (the only reason would be it matches CentOS service naming and paths).

Actually the other way around. My last experience was with an Epson tank printer at my daugther's kindergarten - brand new. I installed, filled-up the tanks. The teacher printed about 50 pages and after two weeks she called me it doesn't print anymore. She used for two days, then not for two weeks. The ink has dried on the heads and the printer was useless. Like the one above, every experience I saw with ink printers was a bummer. Basically you pay 20 - 30$ for a cartrige to print once or twice and if you don't use it for few weeks is worthless. That's why I have a laser.
