  I think it was every N cpu cycles it bluescreened… So on a 233mhz you might get 8h… 1.4ghz yes every hour…

  ME is when I switched to Linux just sometimes I also have a windows machine… Like the win10 gaming laptop that is really end of life… (If you don’t want gaming sure it could be fine on Linux but it’s wasn’t intended to live this long so a good gaming machine before the year of win10 extended support ends is likely in my future… And will likely run Linux)

  I use prism launcher for Java edition Minecraft both on windows and Linux. (Good for modded setups and pinning versions as well much better than stock)

  Its in Flathub on Linux (mint in my case)

  I see “gold rush” the company selling shovels is making out like a bandit, everyone else is make a profit on the previous gen but requires a 10x cost increase for the next gen. And thus 10x more shovels… As soon as 10x more shovels stops giving 10x+ improvements this is the wrong investment.

  Hints are we already reached this point.

  Some AI companies will pivot and improve in other ways with more linear costs/results… The ones hoping the line continues to the moon… I think they overshot… I just don’t know when it will fall back…

  I am perfectly ok with android apps being required to be signed by not just a certificate (they always were just it could be self signed and just needed to match to upgrade without removing data) but a list of trusted entities.

  As long as:

  • I can install my own key on my phone (I’d I am trusted)
  • major distributors like fdroid and have a key installed without friction (like web CAs)
  • Google let’s me mark their key as untrusted (I probably won’t but I should be able to refuse things they trust (at install time, not disabling preloaded apps like settings)

  Without this it feels too much extending the monopoly despite being forced to allow 3rd party stores.

  At least so far Samsung is letting me disable Gemini, as I try to do to any bloatware I don’t want running in the background.

  It’s better not to equate the two parties of the USA to the parties in a parliamentary system it’s a different beast.

  The Democrats are the coalition of the left of center interest groups of the current time, and Republicans the coalition of the right of center interest groups of the current time.

  These groups are more the parties of the parliamentary system and run candidates in the primaries of their respective parties, and possibly as independent from time to time (particularly when they feel a bit pushed out of the main parties). Also they push these candidates at all levels (local, state, congress ect)

  I would love some sort of rank choice/instant runoff ballots to make more choices easier in the voting lineup, however those who are pushing for third parties without trying to run local politicians or promoting policies ect will likely not succeed in that system either.
