Well done to Wales ending an 18 test losing streak. Not a record to be taken lightly!

If a giant Godzilla or King Kong sized creature became a real thing, it wouldn't be much of a threat because the military would have more than enough firepower to kill it easily in c/general@lemmy.world

Nuclear fire breath vs the military? Stupidly thick armour made from subsea nodules and an appetite for tanks. Godzilla is great because it's so stupid. And he beats all military today

Bit shocked about Fiji, but not wholly surprised. Scotland with the B team and Fiji have had a few weeks of actual team time. This was definitely on the cards.

Will Wales get a win? I expect so, but a slim one. Currently up by 11 at the break.

New Zealand will beat France in yet another thrilling test match between these two

The Lions will win against a scratch side now

SA will annihilate Italy

Ireland will put on a great display with a narrow win in Portugal

And England are going down to Argentina. Who also have some good game time under heir belts vs an under strength England

Except of course people are hankering for a reunited cast. And it never got things like a soundtrack, or a film director, or film credits, or a cinema release

Yup, and it is fine. I'd still chose debian for any work server personally, the longest support of them all

Don't believe Tom and the headline. This was a confident win still. And Australia will need a hell of a lot more

Too little. Too late. Ubuntu ate their lunch years ago. And debian is still there kicking ass

Okay why is your distro the best? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

This week alone I've used Arch, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, and Fedora. Its Arch. By a short way, and mostly thanks to the wiki. Tbh they are all converging, and I go with KDE variants when I use a GUI and no distro does too much to customise it

About time. How he managed to keep his job after that scandal was fantastic

Because AI sucks at basically all tasks. And if I wanted the simple article I'd have visited the simple article. What you have done is denied entry to one of the most valuable resources ever created: wikipedia
