So, in a world of intel vs arm, etc. is choice such a bad thing? Wouldnâ(TM)t supporting printers, etc on arm be a net gain for all? Why do we have to bring a flame war into something that could benefit us all? I fail to see how forcing printer manufacturers for example to open their view of the computing world a little is a bad thing. Tell me where Iâ(TM)m wrong here?

Sorry for the ugly comment. Yes, I use an iPhone.

Things were rushed, not all cases were tried thoroughly. Iâ(TM)ll wait a bit before taking that one. Just until a good random sample has taken it. (Speaking as a 53 year old). ...

It would be the end of the program. Thatâ(TM)s why NASA takes longer and costs more, because the public holds it to a higher standard. Let the flame wars begin.

If you don't want it to be open.

Is systemd the best place for this? Should an init system care about home directories? This os starting to feel like feature creep. If Lennart has a good idea go with it. I fail to see the need to use systemd as the coat rack for every good idea he has.

The fossil fuel industry is not creating it. You and I are, by using their products.

And believe people without questioning their motives.

But still can't recognize my scanner... You may begin yelling at me now about how I'm an idiot because I would like it to just work and not have to use VueScan.

You miss the point. Try reading more than the subject line. If you tell me going electric would cure 50% of the problem, you need to be able to prove that it did so afterwards. Were it to only cure 2% of the problem, we would want our cars back, because you were wrong. You have to be able to show a change had the desired effect, otherwise you are just guessing at the answer. Im still waiting to see what impact all the changes we have already made have had on the problem before I agree to more. If you say none, then you need to start proving your case better for additional actions. If you want more actions, I want to know that they will be meaningful, not a drop in the ocean of this problem. In other words, I expect hard results.

What I personally would like to see is clarity. Actual science should be able to provide a clear path forward with measurable results. It is not enough to say that humans are causing this so we should make wild changes. You have to be able to audit the changes and prove that they had the result you expected. For example, we had cash for clunkers in the US, and have passed numerous laws requiring more and more stringent restrictions on auto emissions, but nowhere do we see the picture of the impact (or lack thereof) of those actions. In fact, from most accounts that had no impact because evidently the problem is still spiraling out of control. If that is the case, we need to re-evaluate our response and try something else. It is not enough to panic and say there is a problem, you have to be able to see the results of your actions in a measurable way. Until you do that you are just taking knee-jerk reactions, not actually addressing the problem. "Doing something" is useless if you aren't doing the right thing, and the only way to know if you are doing the right thing is through changes and continual monitoring with updates as we learn what the impact of each change is. This isn't something that can be solved in 5 minutes and forgotten, there are no silver bullets.

Oh, and first post! I remember when that was a thing here.

Or lazy. Or cheap.

Itâ(TM)s not about extending life. Alzheimerâ(TM)s doesnâ(TM)t directly kill you. You die from âoecomplicationsâ. Itâ(TM)s about preventing the years of suffering, and it IS suffering, for individuals and their families before they finally pass on. Alzheimerâ(TM)s is the waterboarding of diseases, and all the family can do is watch. Just my opinion as an ex EMT with 2 RN sisters that had to go through it with our father, so we unfortunately knew more about the disease medically speaking than most, and it didnâ(TM)t let us down in terms of how bad it could get. It sucks bigtime and needs to be researched every bit as aggressively as cancer, etc.

Instead of adding things they will take more away. Nice. I prefer the tactile feel of an actual button. A virtual one will likely have some gimmick involved like a delay to prevent accidental activation. How will you know where to put your finger for the fingerprint sensor? #fingerprintfailures #notafan #puttheplugback
