No, you’ve been “downvoted” (actually you have been as much upvoted and ended up at a 0 points, not negative) for claiming Linux break every few days and that you must be “comfortable making your computer a hobby” to use it, which is clearly not at all representative of the general experience.
The proof is that the most upvoted answer to your comment exactly point that.
Nope, no such law in France
The alternative is everyone spouting bullshit based on “common sense” and anecdotal evidence
I don’t need to carry my ID most of the time
No, once again you’re inventing definitions, please have a read
Where do you even get the “media” part in it?
I’ll quote myself because I already answered that: « Media is the plural of medium, which means “intermediary” ». That’s the textbook definition of the word media, and the consensus about what it means.
Whatsapp is the middleman/platform, thus intermediary (= “medium/media”), between two people socializing. I don’t understand what you don’t understand.
A social network is social media that allows to form groups or communities. Two people communicating is not a network, the whole point of a network is interconnection between members of a group.
totally made up definition from your part
You forgot the “from your part” that is quite important. Language is a consensus, you just invented your own definition and pretend that it is the consensus.
And anyways, if “social media” and “social network” is the same, why have two different terms for it?
They’re not the same, it’s the square/rectangle thing. A social network is a kind of social media, all social medias are not social network. You could argue that Whatsapp is a social media but not a social network (but the frontier is getting blurry with groups and these kind of things).
That’s a totally made up definition from your part. Media is the plural of medium, which means “intermediary”. A social media is just the middleman that allows people to socialize. Lemmy is a social media, as well as a social network.
my take is that 1. you don’t need equal supply year-through because big consumers should be able to sleep and reduce their energy intake in the winter. yes i know that is complicated, but sleep is also complicated in nature and evolution still pulled through with it because it does pay off in the long term.
So you’re trying to advocate we should put millions of people on virtual unemployment during winter to save energy? Who will pay for that?
Do you think it’s honest to compare nuclear price all-included LCOE to the solar and wind LCOE* (* = not accounting for the tens or hundred of billions of unemployment subsides each year to account for forced shutdown because of power drought)?
secondly, storage can also be renewable biomass. i have some napkin math sitting around somewhere on my disk that says that about 5% of the yearly energy demand can be covered with basically non-cost “waste” biomass that’s basically being burned to get rid of it today. I actually wanted to write a longer post about it in the [email protected] community, i just couldn’t figure out how to properly present my calculations yet.
First thing: biomass is about 200-250g of CO²eq per kWh. Burning biomass is polluting, and thus is not a viable alternative to nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, and the other low-carbon power sources we should aiming for.
Even if your calculus are correct, if I take the example of a country like France which has a +30-50% increase in power consumption for 5 months during the coldest months than in the rest of the year. And it’s not because of industry, it’s because we heat up with a lot of electricity, even if we still need to convert a lot of fossil-based heating to low-carbon electricity heating.
But the solar production at the time has a -75% decrease. Wind is basically non-consistent through the year.
So when we need solar the most, to heat up in winter, a phenomena that will get even worse when we decarbonize heating, it just does not follows up. And wind drought during very cold weeks definitely happens regularly.
So we NEED interseasonal power storage to make full-renewable working, at least without huge capacities in hydro-electricity.
And we’re not even close to achieving this kind of gigantic power storage, which is why Germany, the biggest advocate for solar and wind with more than 40% of its electricity coming from it, and has no hydro, is still one of the dirtiest electricity in Europe. Because it still burns gas and coal to compensate for solar and wind lack of reliability.
But will Fusion ever be cheaper than solar?
Will solar with interseasonal storage ever be even feasible?
People like to throw LCOE around, occulting that running countries with solar (and wind) power is plain science-fiction and nowhere close to change, while nuclear (at least fission) is empirically proven to work reliably, even for cheap, costing less than 200 billions of euros in the span of 60 years in France for example.
When you don’t have enough sun (or wind), you either have sufficient backup in hydro or solar, or you burn coal and gas.

Because using the latest drivers (and thus kernels) is important to play recent games, to get performance and bug fixes.
Debian usually ships an older LTS kernel (6.12 right now, while the latest stable Linux kernel is 6.18), so you might hit more bugs and performance issues in Debian than in a less conservative distro.
Why the hell are they not raiding Texas and Florida where there are shitloads of immigrants?
They are, it’s literally the two most targeted states, your assumption is false.
And one of the highest payers, Qobuz, is missing
Keep waiting, I won’t indulge for your imaginary definition. The Linux kernel is not defined by whether or not it can run desktop or server distributions.
Your uneducated made-up definitions of what is Linux kernel or not don’t change reality
A patched and modified Linux kernel is still a Linux kernel
You are so fucking dense. “Somebody did it first, it’s too late it’s already on the internet so now it’s open bar” is not an excuse. You use the same arguments as those who share revenge porn and child porn.
You all are repulsive fucks without any decency, and moron with the cognitive capacity and maturity of edgy teenagers.
Why would I need two 32" ultrawide OLED 165Hz for? I have one for gaming, and a small 14" as a companion.
