The USA needs to get rid of these fascists. They are destroying all aspects of American life and will leave the country in tatters and unable to cope with climate change, pandemics and even feeding, housing and caring for its own people. This is intentional because their ideology tells them that only certain superior people deserve to live, and it’s “natural selection” if the “weak” just die. Just by chance, the superior people happen to be themselves.

The same with the incredibly powerful CPUs and huge amounts of RAM we all have now. These are little supercomputers, and everything in Windows takes longer than it did 25 years ago on machines with a tiny fraction of the power.

Deleting files and folders in Windows is the one that gets me. It’s so incredibly slow, and if you try to cancel it manages to take even longer “Cancelling…”.

Interestingly they did the same with Word 97: loaded Office at startup so it would seem to launch faster.

They’re working on the notion of a concept of a plan.

Hairdryers are quite loud too. It’s a stretch to describe even the sonic boom as “silent”.

The headline is misleading. It’s quieter, but far from silent.

You have to factor in the cost of living under a fascist autocracy too, where you can get kidnapped and sent to a secret prison for life because you didn’t respect the leader enough, even though the leader is a corrupt moron. Which is a pretty damn high cost, and $10,000 doesn’t even begin to balance it out.

“Oh shit, this is bikers against child abuse? Sorry, I’m in the wrong room.”

De-extinction critics have pointed out that the technology creates a moral hazard: It could simply be used as an excuse to allow vulnerable animals to go extinct and assume we can just bring them back later. And they have a point. Soon after Colossal’s news about their wolves this week, the Trump administration embraced the technology and suggested removing legal protections for endangered species.

Of course they did. This US administration misses no opportunity to do evil things for profit. And of course they don’t make any effort to understand the science or the ethical issues. They are greedy dumb people.

We need more of this in all countries.

I have a bunch of colleagues like this. If they were left to their ways we’d still be using unpatched frameworks from 20 years ago. I find it pretty frustrating.

Superficial? Quite possibly.

He has really changed a lot too.

Many conservative American women strive to look like this, not just the news anchors. Among the women in orbit around Trump there are several with this same look. It’s all very artificial, with lots of makeup and plastic surgery, but apparently it’s an ideal in Republican circles.

Also, in Windows when you finally do run the program it just hangs with “Not responding”.

How’s your family doing?

This may be due to manufacturers locking their machines down with Secure Boot and only installing the keys that allow it to boot Windows. It’s not something that could be fixed by the makers of the Linux install disk. They’d need to persuade the hardware manufacturer to preinstall their key.

I install Linux on many machines each year, and I can’t even remember the last time I had a problematic installation. Your experience sounds quite unusual. Are you using some obscure distro?

They’re kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.
