Just because a CISC will run multiple instructions in a single clock cycle, it doesn't automatically make it faster. Complex instructions means complex decode logic, that makes the execution slower, even at the same clock cycle. A modern intel CPU has something like 20+ stages of pipelining, while ARM has 3-5 stages, that makes the execution more energy efficient and more powerful. Also superscalar RISC architectures exist, so RISC can also execute more instructions at a time, and in less time.

Lastly, modern x86_64 look like CISC, but are actually RISC under the hood, the single instruction is just a pseudo-instruction divided in multiple simpler instructions. I don't believe thay makes it much more efficient.

Fallout New Vegas was also repetitive in many aspects, mainly because they had limited time and resued assets when they could. Still doesn't mean it's not a fantastic game

I understand the concerns in the USA, but where I live, burd flu seems to be pretty much a non-problem for now because of very strict controla and low volume of aviary farming.

300 dead cats in 20 years in 18 countries? I'm guessing that house fires kill more cats than that.

I don't knoe why people are obsesse with keeping cats inside. In a less urbanized area, they are perfectly safe staying outside.

At least if you install other apps you already have KDE. If you install another Flatpak, it's likely this will need another version of the KDE runtime, so it's 2.5 more GB for a 450kB application.

I'm not saying they are not killing birds, or mice, or small preys in general. Cats are predators and amongst the best. What I'm saying is that they are invasive only in places they never were in before human brought them (like Australia or small islands). In continental Eurasia (except areas where they are explicitly been controlled), they have always been there, and the environment is adapted to their presence and will not significantly suffer, not more than any other predator.

In my experience it highly depends on the cat. Some are perfectly content with proper scratchers and toys inside, some just visibly suffer staying inside, it might help we are far from the busy city with plenty of green and huntable animals, but most of our cats spend ~80% of time outdoor during summer and ~30% during winter.

"Outdoor cats" are just cats. They are not a domesticated species, hunting is their instinct, and should just not be introduced in places where they wreck havoc to the environment. Where they are endemic (Europe and continental Asia) they don't cause troubles to the ecosystem

Also certificate does not ensure the website is safe, only that you are really talking with the server the URL points to, and not a man-in-the-middle trying to hijack your information (like passwords or payment details).

Nothing stops a malicious site to have a valid https certificate. Sure, more spam-friendly Certification Authorities like Let's Encrypt might revoke spammy certificate, but that's not nevesserily always true.

Isn't data uncountable in english?

For being a country literally born out of a genocide, with a population that has been persecuted and killed multiple times in history in "self defense" by others, you would think they learnt their lesson and they knew how important peaceful cohabitation can be.

You know how they say: "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain"

The people who forgor are the ones actually believing the criminals. Some are criminals themselves, other are just morons
