I had the exact same use case.
MX Linux was the only thing I could get to boot on this unholy combination of 32bit CPU and UEFI.
It’s also a really good distro in general.

Yes. Blahaj is not a place to debate whether trans women are real women.

I’d bet smoking is healthier than that pill stack.

all the 3-letter agencies pool their resources
billions of dollars are dumped into the project
several years later they manage to decrypt all of this guy’s communications
it’s nothing but chats about how to encrypt shit

Quote from their readme:

It’s explicitly free of any “DEI” or similar discriminatory policies.
Together we’ll make X great again!

I’ll pass.

I do that every night.

Why do you think it’s called breakfast?

me too

This brings me back to my first startup job supporting a software that was used by several large corporations you’ll know.

Configuration and data entry was done by directly manipulating the prod database, with commands that were stored locally in text files, pre-written in the SQL Manager or created from Excel macros.

If you fucked up, you copied over the parts you had changed from the testing db, which doubled as the only backup.

If you started a transaction and forgot to commit or roll back, the application on the customer’s end would lock up.

The web frontend was based on hand-written html+css spaghetti code and Microsoft Silverlight.

Without any prior job experience or SQL knowledge, I got an account with domain admin rights and full write access to prod on my first day.

Only 2 people could work on the server at a time cause they didn’t want to pay for terminal server licenses.

Over the last 12 months, global temparature was already at +1.51°C, so the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goals are now outdated and can be safely ignored.

Stanley Parable, the entire game is about making fun of the player.

Close by Heidelberg in Germany there is a village called Dilsberg, built within the walls of a medieval castle on top of a hill overlooking the Neckar River.

On 13/14 December there is a Christmas market where the residents open up the historic cellars under their houses to the public and sell spiced wine and handicrafts.
Probably not worth a long trip just for this since it’s rather small, but it’s right around the corner from Heidelberg, in one of the most beautiful regions of Germany IMO.

It is a cruel joke that right at the moment renewable energy becomes cheap enough to make business sense over fossil fuels, without government subsidies, AI comes in and consumes unlimited amounts of energy to make line go up.

Yes. In school we had a course where you programmed a virtual robot navigating through a maze.
The commands were simply “go forward”, “turn left”, etc.
Then they introduced basic programming principles one by one.
Simple loops, conditions, outputting messages, etc.
The following year, they switched us to programming in Pascal and it was basically the same thing, only now we had to learn some simple syntax.

I’m not talking about buses only.

It does matter, if there is ever a conflict between China and the EU, China can completely disable our infrastructure without firing a shot.
It would have the same effect as a nuke on all cities.

Which is exactly my point. Summer time forces me to get up 1h earlier than normal because I can’t choose to come to work an hour late.
But with normal time, you can always choose to live on “summer time” for yourself by getting up an hour early.

EU allows automakers to “pool” their fleets with others for CO2 measurements, so if one of them is below the threshold and the other above, they can meet it with the average of their combined fleets and avoid the fines.
The automakers dragging the CO2 average down (by selling EVs) are paid by those who wouldn’t meet the limit for this “service”.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with this. It is an incentive for automakers to do even better than the limit, since they can earn money with it.

No one stops you from getting up 1h earlier in the morning.
Permanent summer time would force everyone to do it.

What’s the “logical” time zone?
The one closer to Spanish solar time, or the one shared by most EU countries, which facilitates trade and cross-border cooperation?
