Great idea and I love the execution. Unfortunately AI is still not 100% renewably powered, so it’s probably best to avoid using genAI for now.

How long until they drop the age of consent to 0. We know exactly where they stand on that.

I’m guessing https://www.getzooz.com/ but it’s hard to be sure when there are so many companies named ZOOZ and the article doesn’t clearly state which one.

AutoAntonyms are also pretty cool.

I really liked Need for Speed World and discovered it 1 week before the severs were taken offline.

At least I still have Need for Speed Most Wanted III.

I’ve almost always needed alone time to cope. Just a small safe space I can go to is usually enough for me.

In my previous relationship I had a lot of difficulties with not having a safe space in the house. It caused a lot of extra stress and a really bad panic attack. Going for walks outside helped a little, but in the end I just had to leave.

I’m now married and have rarely had any issues with my current partner. I feel safe and comfortable around them. When I’m getting overwhelmed, I only need to ask once for quite time and they stop talking to me.
My partner would absolutely make a safe space for me if I needed it, but I just haven’t needed it yet.

I’ve never tried, but I assume I could just ask if they’re willing to spend some time out of the house at a library or park. It would be unreasonable to frequently request, but I assume it would be ok occasionally.

It seems very unlikely to have been a mechanical failure, but we don’t yet know if it was an intentional action or an accident.
No recommendations have been made to Boeing or any pilots, so we can assume it’s still safe to fly.

The final report should have more answers, but that could be several years away.

SSDs and USBs use the same NAND flash technology to store data. Neither has a battery, so there is absolutely no power, and therefore no data transfer going on here.

NAND Flash can degrade over time, but so can any other form of data storage. It has nothing to do with being unpowered.

Fun fact: SSDs rely on quantum mechanics to store data. They’re really fun to read about, and not even slightly intuitive.

The might be a little too much personally identifying information if I mention them. I don’t want to risk it.

I spent 1 hour of unpaid work experience for a telephone provider. I found out on the day that I would be handing out pamphlets in a supermarket.

The person who was supposed to be helping and/or supervising just gave me the pamphlets and walked off to chat with his girlfriend. The only time he intervened was to tell me off for answering a potential customer’s question. I knew the answer, but I was supposed to defer to him (not that he told me beforehand) so that he could sugar coat (read - lie about) the answer.

I never went back, and tell all my friends to avoid that company. I’ve since discovered that they also do many illegal things to get more money from their customers, but will suddenly comply if you know your rights so that they never get caught.

If it’s not broken, keep fixing it 'til it is.

ADHD and anxiety disorders will do that.

They’re all pretty good options. Bazzite is very easy to install, runs almost all games, and its immutable nature makes it difficult to break.

Mint is also easy to set up, runs almost all Steam games, but requires a little configuration to run other games. The main advantage is that it can be more easily customized if you’re interested in tinkering.

I haven’t tried the others, but I expect them to be similarly beginner friendly.

Once you’ve picked an OS, you can swap out the desktop environment at any time for a different feel. Cinnamon on Mint or KDE on Bazzite will give you a fairly comfortable Windows-like feel, whereas gnome is quite different.

It’s always a good idea to check ProtonDB before buying a new Steam game for Linux.

This apocalypse could have been an email.

Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?

My 50+ yo mother uses Linux Mint daily with fewer problems that when she used Windows. Her crowning achievement in IT is learning how to use email.

I helped my 93 yo friend switch from Windows 10 to Linux 2 years ago. He called me 3 times in the first 2 weeks to ask how to do something, but hasn’t had a single problem since that’s related to the OS.

Linux Mint, Bazzite, Fedora, and several other Linux distros are already easier to use than Windows. The only thing holding most people back is fear of change.

There are some people who have specific setups in Windows or a large number of “Windows only” apps, but these people are in the minority. The average person can’t even tell you which operating system they’re currently using, and wouldn’t notice the difference if you swapped the OS but kept the same web browser.

The problem is that Trump isn’t actually in charge. He’s just the figurehead who holds everyone’s attention.

You’d have to remove half the supreme court, Congress, the electoral college, and the entire Heritage Foundation if you wanted a chance at fixing the US.

Trump on his own is a bumbling toddler who couldn’t even make his own executive order to sign. I’d rather see him in a nursing home while the people who put him in power get tried for their crimes.

I have all of these settings off, but it’s still summarizing my emails and offering to add it to my calendar because there are no conflicting events.
