Comment Re:If I have steam installed on top of Linux (Score 1) 45

I want it for a computer that can't take Win11, but is perfectly usable hardware otehrwise. My plan is to convert it to a dedicated Steam game machine and have the SteamOS features included, and I'd rather it be actual SteamOS with Arch instead of Bazzite (on Fedora) or something else similar that's more likely to get abandoned by the maintainers down the road.

Perhaps they were trying to get rid of their god-damned forced top-posting.

Let's keep our focus on the people behind these projects, shall we? Not the caterers, the electricians, the plumbers, or the company that mows their lawn. They're just trying to pay the bills man.

Yes, I get it, if it's your holy mission to oppose AI datacenters sure, you go right ahead and chain yourself to the front gate. But the fact is that most people don't have the luxury to morally evaluate their job for nuances of "whatever is bothering reddit today".

"... football-field-long ovens for drying layers of material that have been dissolved in solvents..."

Hyperbolic language meant to spur some sort of emotional reaction, I guess?
This process : deposition of a dissolved solid and then the solvents being driven of by a long, gentle drying process, is pretty common in industry as a method. For example just about every self adhesive product uses this process for its release coating.

Well, you Klansucking Sisterhumping America Hating ReCUNTlicans already packed the court to try to destroy our Constitutional rights. So I reject your claim that speaking out on matters of public importance as an equal citizen is "corporate sabotage," you neonazi inbred bitchtrash.

This seems like a situation where it's very hard to get excited about the idea that it's the regulator's problem. Did some Canadian fed technically have the authority to inspect? Quite possibly. Is there some sort of justification for even the cost of performing the inspection, much less any undesired knock-on effects of the notion that literally all vessels must be inspected no matter what, in a case like this? Seems harder to make that case.

There are a lot of situations where large portions of the public have no choice but to use products and services that they have no reasonable ability to be "informed" about. Either it's simply not possible if you aren't in a position to legally compel honesty from the vendor or it's a case where "informed" is PhD-level work in the area, or a combination of the two; but some rando's aggressively contrarian submarine that loudly and proudly skips all industry certifications and is available on boutique scale for very wealthy customers doesn't seem like one of those cases.
