@xoxo @polpo I mostly quit when it was just in normal garbage fire mode.

@polpo @xoxo Wasn't it always a garbage fire?

@union @blaaablaaaa @deprecated_ii (Though, I think the Mako is just getting promoted to that because if the Kinzhal qualifies, then the Mako certainly does as well. Prior to that, we wouldn't have considered it hypersonic.)

@developing_agent @PatternChaser @DJDarren I still use a lower end device ($200ish) as my main phone, which means I avoid doing anything unnecessary on my phone. anything beyond the simplest tasks, I'd want to drag out the Steamdeck and hook up to the phone's hotspot.

@union @blaaablaaaa @deprecated_ii Is it terminal hypersonic, or only hypersonic when it's high up? For the former, I don't think even Russia has that yet. For the latter, US has a ton of them already, they're just really big. As for ARRW, I think it was cancelled in favor of the Mako.

@developing_agent @PatternChaser @DJDarren Hard to keep running old devices when the new ones continue getting much faster, and thus the software is being written for devices several times as fast with more memory. Few people test on old hardware so the devs no longer notice if it takes 3-4 seconds to do something there, as long as it's under a second on their shiny new devices.

@etchedpixels @jwildeboer If you think about it like the original structure of the US, 2/3rds of the US government was unelected. The people only elected their representatives, while the Senators were elected by the state legislatures, and the president was elected by the electors that were voted for by the people. The bulk of the EU is currently like the old US Senate, so maybe they just need a house of representatives that the people vote for.

@requiem Smoking, as long as you don't have a proclivity towards doing drastic things in regards to emotions.

@anime Yeah, and that gets expanded on as the series progresses. Though, Maomao knows, she's just not letting it go even though she knows better.

@Cheeseness @Doomed_Daniel With BSD, it's still licensed as BSD, but it can also be licensed as GPL as part of a greater work and modified, or even as a closed source application in a modified form without releasing the changes... The original code is still BSD, but the modified and incorporated code is now covered by whatever license, with the provision that you need to note that it includes this bsd package, and that bsd package, etc.

@Cheeseness @Doomed_Daniel (Though there are some exceptions, like BSD licensing and CC-0. Stuff under those can usually be re-licensed to other licenses.)

@union Degeneracy and Windows...

But I repeat myself.

@union @PurpCat @ZRDR_DelRio @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @thendrix You could probably charge for the EV yearly registration taxes based on weight, just assume they're driving an average amount of miles per year (12000-15000) get the MPG based on similar weighted gas cars, and let them try to claim a discount if they're under that. Wouldn't take any more info than they already have.

@anime Yes, I was referring to your comment about them seeking out any stories at all to make into anime, and relating the one I found more unlikely. 365 Days actually got a live action show as well.

@anime Not the most surprising one to get an anime. That might be Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure, that was probably the most generic tropey isekai ever. I watched it a bit before realizing that I had read the manga, but it really didn't stick in my memory at all.

@terinjokes @system76 @requiem I guess I haven't compiled anything on Gentoo in awhile, the last time I did a KDE desktop build of gentoo it took about 40 hours, but that was on my older 2nd gen Intel core laptop.

@requiem @system76 @terinjokes That's getting rare on Linux these days, Unless you use Rust I suppose. C++ compiled apps take so long to build these days, and have so many dependencies... Compiling from source seems to really only be a thing in the BSD-lands. Even Gentoo is starting to ship some things as binaries because of the long compile times.

@requiem @system76 @terinjokes (Nix on the other hand, is trying to do the same thing but without chroot/jails, and instead by manipulating all of the paths in the environment.)

@requiem @terinjokes @system76 It's really the same sort of stuff as Docker, you're basically just installing an entire extra, tiny, operating system on top of your kernel, Docker and Flatpak are mostly there to keep it from installing that same OS over and over, and instead keep one copy of it that's shared. Appimage just says "we have huge disks, just keep the OS around many times."
