Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson … how can you go wrong!?

Were they bad, though?

Meanwhile offices a century ago:

I think you missed mentioning who “he” is there. Are you saying that Luigi Mangione was previously a Detroit rapper and a literal pimp?

I’d describe it as making computer systems reliable.

Why is that? What do you feel is the downside?

Yes, kind of.

Someone might correct me if I’m wrong but it’s that, plus extra tooling to redirect the stuff that needs to be writable, plus more extra tooling to allow you to temporarily unlock the read-only parts in order to do system updates, plus a system updater that puts the whole system more-or-less under version control.

I felt a compatibility module wouldn’t offer nearly as good performance/efficiency as a game designed to run on Linux/ext4 - but are you saying that playing via Proton is fine?

Can confirm, it’s fine. There’s some variability of course but taken as a whole the environment is comparable in terms of performance. As long as you’re not playing AAA competitive games that have anti-cheat you are going to be fine with few exceptions. And there are plenty of examples where the proton experience works better than the native.

Check protondb to get a realistic idea of how well games will work.

It’s dropping as in “experiencing a fall in numbers” (back to normal levels) not as in “removing from support” nor as in “delivered to the world”

They may have removed it from the reporting or corrected for some previous change in reporting methodology.

I think the lid of that piano is for a different piano, and is about to fall off.

Are you borrowing your dad’s Lincoln Navigator?

That sounds like it would cost 5¢ more to manufacture and install. Won’t someone think of the shareholders?

I just checked, and they do not.

Edit: they still find the cartoon funny after being primed with the information that “Gumby” is a claymation character.

No but yes but no.

I’m not sure you are serious/genuine here but I’m also not sure you deserve the downvotes and I have some time to kill.

“Republic” is “rule by the people” (Rex public). It means the same as democracy (“people rule”). The only difference is Latin vs Greek.

As used in the US, your description kinda-sorta covers the principles that the parties once maybe kinda stood for 150 years ago or so. (Something like “more federal power / less federal power”).

In reality these days they’re just labels for two different groups, and the words have no connection in this context, it’s just an historical note.

Kinda but … they go together, and Active Directory is more or less LDAP+Kerberos with a sprinkling of standardization on top.

it’s really no worse than S/MIME

That’s damning with faint praise if I ever heard it.

The biggest problem of OpenPGP is key management. The web of trust is fine but key rotation is an absolute nightmare. And I say this as someone who has been comfortable using it for 27 years.

Busted. Pedantic smart ass it is.

That said I think the windows PIN code system is absurdly insecure but … eh you do you.

implement the Windows PIN thing for startup on my PC

If you’re that specific in your requirements, you’re gonna have a bad time. I don’t think Microsoft makes “Windows PIN” for Linux.

Me, via my taxes I would expect.

Bins in woodlands do not get emptied often and will often overflow

Think I found the problem— why not do the obvious thing and empty them more often?
