  • System76 left a really bad taste in my mouth.

    I can’t speak to Cosmic, but their existing system updater tool/app store was a crash prone pile of garbage that never got fixed for years. That’s right, the tool they shipped with was known broken open issue on github for YEARS. I know they were working on a replacement at a glacial pace that’s probably out by now, but I gave up waiting.

    Then one day I updated and the latest linux kernel just didn’t work on my S76 branded laptop. Didn’t for MONTHS.

    Maybe they’ve improved since, but I’m never giving them money again or using their software.

    I view them as incompetent.















  • Humans don’t plan ahead for preventables and get angry if you diminish current QoL for long term safety. We know this. Earth getting a direct hit solar flare ends civilization. There’s no divine safety guard rails, we’d just be fucked. Probably not extinction though. Just a lot of violence, extremism, and starvation getting to that point of very diminished stability again.

    I like your use of “when” because it is fairly likely to happen one day. It already has, and Morse code had just been invented IIRC. Not that long ago, just wasn’t a big deal then.

    Did you hear the news about definitive proof of rogue black holes? Billions of them exist in the milky way it is thought now zipping around fucking shit up.
