There really isn't. I was skeptical and expected a 2-week long oddysey, but I put arch on my PC this past weekend and all my games work. It's definitely not suitable for mom, but my son could handle this.
Linux is still
You go to a sit-down restaurant:
1) You wait 30-60 minutes to be seated. If it's a really nice restaurant, you may try to make reservations. Nah, nobody does that anymore and the online things are booked a week in advance (Downtown Seattle, I'm looking at you). Nah.
2) If you manage to get seated, the clock has started. They want you in and out in under an hour. The waiter will show up typically just as you've sat and take your drink order, you will see him again in 5 minutes to take your entree order. In some places, you will not see him again until the bill, as food is run out to you by runners (door dash, but indoors). In most cases he'll appear as you're eating to see if they missed anything, hoping for another drink order (if they serve alcohol). Otherwise he's gone until he thinks you've had enough time to eat, and gives you the bill. Whether you're done or not "No hurry!" he hurriedly says. Frequently it's pay-by-QR code, even in nice, expensive places, so you'll never see him again. But he'll come see why you haven't left yet and take your card if you don't do that. Then you're expected to leave. If you're sitting with friends and talking, at some point they'll try to move you to the bar so they can turn the table over. If not, they'll stop by to "anything-else" you until you take the hint.
3) For reasons I don't understand, it's trendy not to leave the ceiling support exposed, offering no sound-proofing at all. The place is deafining, it's impossible to carry on a conversation in a busy place. This is probably the point, see #2.
4) If the sound-proofing isn't enough, it's also trendy to play music too loudly. It's nice to have some to wash out the din of clanking plates and masticating, but again, if you want to talk to people, it's almost impossible.
5) "Not turning a profit" is not the same as not being able to pay your staff and your bills. It means the owners yacht payments may get missed. I'd be very slightly empathetic if the owners of restaurants were at all involved, but in most cases they're not in the picture using managers to run the place, it's just a "property" in their "portfolio".
Restaurants, and honestly a shitload of other businesses, need to be reminded that they exist to serve customer needs. If they're not meeting those needs, someone or something will rise to answer them, possibly to their detriment. Figure it the fuck out and get on our level.
Japan still has a lot of stores with offline content. This means a person can watch whatever they want without having to give up their privacy on the Internet.
I spoke too soon. DNS was fast during the NAm day, but just got worse (timeouts).
I noticed DNS slowness all Sunday. Not enough to break elinks but uncharacteristic. My primary nameserver is in CO, nowhere near MAE-east.
Ever open a warm beer? What happens? CO2 foams out which it does not from cold beer.
CO2 solubility in [rain] water is strongly temperature-influenced (alkalinity of oceans lock it down). The 400mm of annual average rainfall falls through 3mm (as solid) CO2 inventory and does most of the scrubbing.
Just because the police are interested in someone, does not mean their reasons are just. We have lots of stupid laws, there's no reason to help the police enforce drug laws, or (here in texas) abortion laws. There's no reason an APB should be out on some girl trying to flee the state to get an abortion after she got a positive test and some stupid religious fuckwit nurse broke all kinds of laws to report her. Definitely no reason your ring camera should be used to help identify her going to the person who lives across the street from you who offered to drive her to New Mexico, and then that person is tracked by every flock camera between Austin and the border.
Or perhaps you were suspected of being a protestor in No More Kings day, and the ring reported on your whereabouts, We're calling such people domestic terrrorists these days. You personally could never be forced to testify against yourself, but your ring camera could.
And that's just official law enforcement. Flock is a Peter Thiel gamble, part of his ever expanding private global espionage platform. Maybe you told one too many pooh bear jokes on the internet and Xi decided to have you offed. For a price he can know where you are and what your routine is.
The only time you should be giving Ring data to anyone but yourself is if you need to report a crime to your property or the people within. You should be in a position to volunteer it, or at the very least require a court order.
Pure ICE vehicles used to get close to 50mpg decades before the Prius was invented... but safety features creeped in and ruined it!
This is the single dumbest thing I've read on slashdot in 20 years.
As for ensh!ttification, is Cory unfamiliar with entropy? Everything, everywhere tends towards lower-value states. Any local contradictions (life) are only explained by greater disorder elsewhere. This applies to communications, too.
It would be great if they fixed bugs, rather than introducing new ones. They introduced one that blocked my garage door opener icon when I was in reverse, it took like 6 months for that to get fixed.
I've lost count of how many updates in the past 8 years have occsionally made my car firmware unstable and had me sitting there doing the vehicular equivalent of ctrl-alt-del.
But yeah, it's great, the updates are easy to schedule and use.
The difference is that you can drive the vehicle after the remote driver "drops off" the vehicle.

The problem isn't the initial installation any more. For Ubuntu and Linux Mint the install process is fairly smooth and the UI is nice during install, and as a daily driver.
The problem now is maintenance, and when things fail...
Yes, I know there's automatic updates, but I ran into an issue with
I'm not "technical" enough to know whether I can resize
I did find some script that someone wrote to delete old compiled kernels and sources, and keep the last 5 around or something, and now I have to run this periodically, because also, I'm not "technical" enough to know how to configure cron or the permissions necessary to run the script via cron.
I probably could figure it out with 2-4hrs of google and research to get it right for my system, and where I have placed the script based on one of the 20 examples I see on the web, and then cross my fingers to hope it works, but I don't really want to do that at all.
When things fail, sure, maybe they can query AI, but that's probably more dangerous than letting Kevin Mitnick into your home.
Big Brother FCC is likely too stupid, but both of these moves corral the net somewhat (pops elsewhere).
Hold on to the root.
