Maybe they'll pay a consultant to tell them to get rid of the smelly foot logo. But seriously, why not give money to another quasi-German DE that's actually good? You know, the more popular and intuitive KDE?

Glad Google is working on that instead of shoving more of this garbage into my phone. Ever since I got gemini I can no longer control my alarm or maps with my voice, it lies to me and says it adds stuff to my shopping list when it doesn't, and it forgot how to say "ninety" (it says ninnety which rhymes with inifinity).

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.
I'm sure that was the intent, but (I think) it actually parses the other way. It's messy, so I'm not sure, but that's how I read it.

Proton does NOT sandbox.
It would be nice if steam did some kind of apparmor or something for games or itself, but there are times when games want to read stuff from the filesystem that seems unrelated.

Both off the sources you quote claim that Transmeta had good chances too succeed in the low power market, not that they were donned to fail.
Comment The issue is that it does not do hot air (Score 1) 120
Otherwise if you don't those 100kW would be dumped into very small surface of the GPU/CPU and small radiator they usually have.
At 300K blackbody radiance is ~450 W.m^-2 So you r calculation of the surface of the cylinder is OK, you would only need 222 m^2 to dissipate a blackbody at 300K of 100kW of heat. The problem is that the heat is not dumped into the cylinder directly, but would need to be conducted from the cpu/gpu radiator to the cylinder . And that's where the problem starts, as you would need almost certainly a liquid for the transport, and that brings a lot of issue itself (weight, pump failure, freezing/boiling etc...). And that's not even counting servicing & obsolescence.
IMO the feasability of this is near null zero enough to be disregarded as a tech bro stupid solution in wait of a problem.
much MUCH easier solution is to have the server on earth, in zone where you have a lot of renewable like solar, wind. easier to maintain , cool, and give energy.

Apparently, as nobody in the community seriously attempted to create Proton before Valve did. I'd be upset about it if Proton wasn't Free software, but it is! I also wouldn't call Steam a monopoly, it's just very popular.

It's really easy. I'm primarily a gamer and have been completely Windows free for 3 years now. Proton runs all my games and I don't mess with them to get them running. Steam games are fully automatic, but for non-steam games you just add them into steam and tell it to use Proton.

I know it's really trivial, bordering on petty, but please oh please give her a different accent. She says "okay" so much, and the Valleygirl accent is never heard so pronounced as obviously as in that word that I really want any other accent. Mid Atlantic, Southern, Cascadian, Midwest, Irish, please anything other than Valleygirl.
Several minutes were spent on the new voices. So yes, you can.
