School shootings are terrible, but in the USA, kids are still over 100 times more likely to die in a car accident than in a school shooting.

And there are many other causes of death that are higher than school shootings as well. School shootings are relatively low on the list.

Of course, they are still terrible, but if we are going to prioritize child safety, the numbers make it clear that children in the USA face many much greater threats than school shootings, and so we would do well to focus on those.

Are there steps we could take to make vehicular travel safer in the USA? Absolutely. Would they save children's lives? Absolutely. So, it seems clear what our priority here should be.

Hey there AC, you seem to be confused about the difference between the words "fact" and "belief."

You believe that WFH is inefficient for most positions, but the available evidence show otherwise. Therefore, your belief is not a fact.

They have the numbers to prove that, for their company, WFH isn't as profitable as in-office.

No, they don't.

The C-Suite that you rail against is entirely profit motivated.

No they aren't. They are human beings, and as such, they have many motivations including emotional and outright irrational motivations, including their own sense of pride and power. Furthermore, they suffer from ignorance and cognitive distortion just like all other humans, so they are driven by many false beliefs about what will maximize profit. The end result is often called "human error" and results in policies that don't maximize profit and even harm it a little bit, but remain good enough (and strongly-enough believed-in) that they keep at it.

The superiority of working from home, both for the employee and the business, varies greatly depending on the nature of the job. But the common and widespread belief among managers (and above) is that employees can't be trusted and slack off when they work from home. This is true for some people, false for others, but it motivates blanket policies that punish people who would be better off working from home (and would serve the company better that way).

It's been a while so I can't really direct you. When licensing became very uncertain I backed away and haven't done one in a while.

My best advice is to get a good flight controller kit up front so everything works together without a lot of screwing around. Also to read lots of build logs before you do one. And maybe start with a cheap type to build familiarity.

Also any design where you just have arms connected to a central board tends to be flimsy. I started with a SK450 and it's kind of floppy

They deliberately destroyed our public lands to make sure we all had to pay to live and you're here for it

If apple doesn't want to be in the middle of every transaction, they are welcome to stop doing that. No one is forcing them to gatekeep everything.

SLI causes problems with a lot of titles and also isn't available on Linux any longer. (There is still a feature called SLI in the Linux driver but it is NOT SLI.)

You didn't explain why they would need more than 60Hz.

The USA built that by paying for it.

"The C-Suite that you rail against is entirely profit motivated."

You're not wrong, you're just thinking small. That is, not like a member of that clan of jackals.

They are worried about THEIR personal profits, they don't give two fucks about any given corporation. And if you do, you're stupid, because corporations don't have hearts or souls and are literally not capable of caring about you.

As long as they come out looking competent, they will be able to get a job at the next corporation, and secure THEIR profits.

Anything except competent management people and practices and fostering a healthy workplace culture, you mean.

The language won't solve the cultural problems.

The desktop background is the modern customized splash screen.

Window decorations and effects matter to me, for both functional and aesthetic reasons. To me, KDE is a sort of modernized cross between Windows 7 and NeXTStep in that department. And it gets right things that Windows has gotten worse about in 11, like being able to read the fucking clock. I seriously don't know who came up with that idea, but on the same display, I can read the taskbar clock on KDE without glasses and not on Windows unless I scale everything and throw away the benefit of the high-resolution display. And that's on the automatic display mode, but you actually also get settings.

I tried using Wayland with Devuan Excalibur (Debian Trixie) and my experience with it was not good. I had some games not work and a lot fewer windows could reopen where I left them. This is with AMD graphics. With Nvidia on Devuan Daedalus it really just doesn't work at all for me, and I'm not interested in figuring out why.

This is irritating, but hopefully X will last until my next PC or even my next GPU, which will probably be from AMD. The Nvidia Linux driver situation is unsatisfactory — they will not miss my money in any case, which no doubt helps explain the lack of attention. While their Linux drivers are typically current these days, and have approximately the same performance as the Windows drivers, they still just aren't very stable. Also, the installer sucks, where with AMD OSS drivers that's simply not a thing.

I ran every wm under the sun back in the 90s as well, designing whole desktop and widget themes around each one, and now I just use KDE. Does it do every single thing I used to do, no. Do I care, also no, because it's a great desktop. It does pretty much all the things I used to actually do with compiz. The thing I really want it to do (per-window scaling) I didn't have with compiz either. Yeah I know compiz still exists, but it's flakier than ever.

I used Gentoo on a K6 laptop and it "only" took about three days to rebuild the entire system. Updates were not a serious burden.
