Ah, the long shadow of shock therapy. smdh.

The excess production of useless shit that nobody would need or want without the manipulation of advertising convincing us otherwise. Cell phones and such are nice, don't get me wrong, but do we need thousands of factories around the world churning out cargo ships full of cheap plastic junk that's designed to fail? No. It only exists because it makes some rich people even richer, and it's burning our planet down. If all that productive capacity was bent to the purpose of meeting peoples' actual needs/reasonable wants it would be a different matter.

We're optimizing our fitness function as living beings (ie, we're still alive), so I'd say that's a solid thumbs-up.

As a member of genx please allow me to say: we're not all bad, some of us quite enjoy the taste of the rich. :P

Fair, although I am reasonably comfortable with the terminal (just don't know all the commands and such, always having to look that sort of thing up). I used to run linux installs many years ago back when stuff like slackware and redhat were the standard distros and X was iffy at best so I've done a lot of that sort of thing, just not in like 20+ years.

But I'm seeing lots of recommendations for alacritty, I'll check it out, though most people seem to think konsole is fine unless I have specific needs which I really don't. Thanks!

Yeah I have been, I've just seen discussion about terminals that do all kinds of fancy shit and I'm wondering if I'm missing out on features by using the default (konsole), though it seems fairly full-featured. shrug

Fair, I'm definitely not a 'serious' terminal user.

Yeah I was wondering about that, it'd be nice to have an LLM that's specifically trained on like linux system configs and shit, but that's well beyond the scope of my capabilities, so if it doesn't already exist I'm just SOL on that one.

Sorry, by 'general terminal stuff' and 'nothing fancy' I mean I just like edit config files, run system commands, that sort of thing. But yeah I'm not like doing complex data management or programming or whatever.

I'll check out Warp/Wave, thanks!

Happy to help. I'm by no means an expert and I could be wrong, I just played a lot of Kerbal Space Program so I guess I have an eye for rocket trajectories and such. shrug

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Fair enough. Personally my hardware isn't that new; the GPU is 3-4 years old at this point, the rest of the PC is ~5 years old so you would think even the latest LTS which is only a year or two old would support it. shrug

But yeah I'm liking nobara's rapid update cycle so far, though I haven't tried to change GPU drivers with it yet, so I suppose I will reserve a tiny amount of judgement until I have to do that. ;)

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Hm, yeah that is definitely a weird thing to do, I'm using nobara (fedora) and it has the app center for snap and flatpost for flatpaks plus dnf for the package manager.

No. The one in OP's video was in post-ascent mode and not full burn and was spiraling wildly all the way in, but the one in the video you linked was clearly in terminal descent phase and flying far too fast and straight to be a match for OP's trajectory.
