Just one comment. I’m just over 50 now and can confirm that every decade you look ahead people appear wiser, but every decade you look back people look young with lots still to learn.

Experience is everything, age means very little.

So, looking at lady parts while I’m horny are going to be tainted because my brain will remind me of that nussy.

I disgust me.

Noooooo. You’ve ruined everything. What is the point in living now?

They are so entirely man made.

Similar but not quite.

Lol. No. Just pointing out that he is all mouth and no trousers.

TACO!

What you have there are examples of a Tautology. Like saying “me myself”. The right thing to do is drop one of the words entirely. No additional meaning is imparted with 2 words that mean essentially the same thing.

Obvious, right? Only an evil person would say it that way.

Agreed. But it does make it easy to tell evil Linux users from good Linux users. I pronounced it so you can tell who is who.

The only amount of territory Putin will accept long term is anywhere nukes can be placed so it bothers him.

Except that UAC has been frequently compromised and still is. The historic weakness of UAC, and the juicy reward, continues to make it a favourite point of attack. Microsoft obviously knows this because they call the current UAC a legacy mode, and they’re superseding it with the new Administrator Protection modes. This isn’t turned on by default afaik, probably due to compatibility issues, but I’m guessing it’ll be a big thing soon.

Lol. Pressing a button on your forehead. Still humours. Sry. I’m easily amused.

Lol oh dear. I assume you twist the lamp to turn it on. Does it look like you are grabbing an invisible dick and giving it a twist? At least it is dark so no one else can see you.

That guy from extraordinary that says he can shoot lasers from his eyes, but turns out only as strong as a laser pointer. I had to pause the show while I pissed myself at that one. Wish I could find the clip

Honestly, the AUR and arch wiki are amazing. Every other distro I’ve used I’ve had to rely on out of date or unreliable support forums. Anytime I want to install something I don’t have hope it already has a package, because someone has usually already built an AUR package that either compiles from the latest source for you or comes pre-pcompiled.

Being on the most up to date version of the kernel and all software is a good thing in my book. I certainly haven’t had issues caused by this.

I’ll admit the Arch can be a struggle to set up initially, so that’s why I use EndeavourOS. EndeavourOS is just Arch with a GUI installer, a shortlist of tweaks all users would want anyway, it let’s you choose your preferred Desktop Environment during install, and it feels like any other distro in terms of getting it ready for use. It doesn’t come with any apps, other than core system tools and firefox, which is also good because you can then install whatever you want.and be free of anything you don’t want. Also, all the usual hardware gets detected and works out of the box.

I won’t go back to any other Linux.

This is one of the many reasons that prohibition doesn’t work. Anything prohibited gets pushed underground and criminalised, but can’t be stopped. The best option, like with drugs, is to decriminalise and educate. Teach kids so they “know” before they become adults, otherwise dangerous stuff is a surprise waiting to burn kids when they turn 18.

“outlaws anonymous communication” - This sends chills down me more than anything else I can remember. The people and organisations that benefit from this can’t be trusted.

The only thing this does is control the law abiding public. Criminals are already breaking the law, and won’t care. It is trivial to build an anonymous communication app. There will always be a workaround.

Anonymity, and free speak should be human rights.

I would be interested in any resources you have on improving latency with pipework. Windows has the ASIO driver which gives direct access to the Audi interface. I didn’t think pipewire was able to match it, but I’ll be glad to be wrong.

I took a brief looked at yabridge a while ago, but struggled. Sounds like I should revisit it.

Let’s get “The last Airbender” out of the way now.
