I'm hoping by the time I need a new car, this insanity will have passed, allowing me to skip it. It's like everyone skipped Windows Vista.
I've been with Windows forever, since version 3. I'm old.
These past few months I've been trying Ubuntu, and it's fine for everyday use, browsing and file management. And, LibreOffice has been my office suite for years, so no problem there--I don't demand much from that.
But, graphics applications are barely there. Blender is fine. Inkscape is so-so, but I just discovered recently that it doesn't keep track of object rotation, so there is no simple way to set the rotation back to zero. Corel Draw gave up Linux support years ago, or that would be my go-to. I haven't tried LibreDraw yet, but I don't have much hope for it. Gimp is, eh.
I haven't tried playing FO4 or Starfield yet, though. I've just been switching back to Windows for that.
I don't mind using Terminal, it reminds me of MS-DOS days, but I don't see myself ever become proficient at it.
I won't be getting Windows 11, I've decided that. But I see that I'll likely need to give up a lot to make that stand.
Man, y'all a bunch a grumpies.
This technology doesn't hinge on what we here believe or predict. It will happen or it won't.
We could speculate on how cool it would be, and how it could be used if it happens, instead of pooh-poohing it.
Thank you. I'm not too proud to say I didn't know this word. And, you saved me looking it up. When I was a kid, my dad got tired of defining words for me when I was reading a book, so he taught me to use a dictionary. From then on, I've read with a dictionary next to me.
Several times, but not recently, Walmart self-checkout machines would reset after I scanned the first item, I dunno why. But I figured I did my part by scanning it, so I didn't re-scan it, even though I knew it had reset. I could just play dumb, which isn't hard for me, if anyone asked. No one ever asked, but they upgraded the software, and it stopped doing that.
The employees seem a bit happier as attendants than cashiers, so I guess that's a good thing. I don't know how many lost their jobs to the machines, though.
I'll admit that I'm happier with self-checkout, because I almost never need to wait in line anymore.
Did none of you watch the video? The article is crap, but the video explains it well.
Go back and watch the video, ya old codgers!
They don't delete anything, though. They just deny YOU access to it.
Yeah, it's good to read the article before commenting.
Here's a link to the Night Hawk video. Good stuff. https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=KDRnEm-B3AI This guy just gives away a formula he developed for the pigment. OG shit.
There are no perfect solutions.
Of course, we'll put the brine back into the ocean. We can run pipelines out miles to disperse the brine and dilute it. We'll need regulation to ensure this, because no capitalist corporation will do anything that cuts into profits without regulations forcing it.
Second only to air, fresh water is what we all need. We'll do what we must to have it. Of this I'm certain.
This is what's coming on the AR headsets that will eventually replace phones. Soon, if you're in public, you WILL be recorded by someone without your knowledge, and probably you already have been. There is no privacy in public areas, get used to it.
This is common in old houses. I don't know if that's the case here. Houses built before indoor plumbing would be upgraded, the kitchen would get water, and a new bathroom would be built next to the kitchen where the new plumbing was. There would be no water or other bathroom in the entire house.
My grandparent's house was built like this, they still had the old water hand pump in the front yard, and they had an outhouse until the plumbing was upgraded.
I'm expecting her to be revealed as a villain at some point. She was born with a silver spoon, there are skeletons in closets, and she knows it. Time will tell.
