Yeah, what you don't see in all those pictures of gridlocked Los Angeles is the huge mass of bike races clogging the entire freeway just out of frame.
It's a really embarrassing problem for the city, having a bunch of folks with jacked quads lookin' like highlighters jamming their freeways and stroads.
Otherwise everyone could really hit the gas and go maybe 30 mph without a major collision incident!
(The internet is crazy so I must clarify this is intended to be delivered as satire.)
The start button alone probably needs more RAM than that.
Nah, just all the ad telemetry gathered whenever the user hits the start button!
Holy crap that's AWESOME.
I bet I wouldn't be the only one who couldn't resist shouting
"THAT ONE'S FOR BOROMIR!!!"
Lol
Well, the Mosin, being a bolt-action, was a bit of a meme funny inclusion...
...but technically the Garand, and any AK/SKS kinda rifle, are (or can be) semi-automatic wherein a pull of a trigger discharges a single round. And yes, Hi-Point also makes rifle models Lol.
Companies like Kel-Tec also market to the civilian affordability crowd.
I dunno, was I missing the point of this emphasis maybe? Let me know if something went over my head. :)
"What do you know about owls?"
"Lots of stuff!"
"ORLY?"
"YARLY."
This when my little dual-booting laptop would suddenly start in GRUB Rescue Mode because a forced Microsoft update hijacked the bootloader again. X_X
Fellow Tumbleweed lover here for all the same reasons!
This distro has been fantastic. A few times there's been some growing pains (8/10 of those directly being Nvidia's fault by my estimation), but Snapper rollbacks have been ultra reliable in getting to "known working state" until stuff gets sorted out.
It's such an unbelievably sane and sturdy rolling release. I also appreciate YAST and how it feels like they put effort into making pro-security choices by default without interfering with the user's experience too much.
extremely good "search engines" or interactive versions of "stack overflow"
Which is such a decent use of them! I've used it on my own hardware a few times just to say "Hey give me a comparison of these things", or "How would I write a function that does this?" Or "Please explain this more simply...more simply....more simply..."
I see it as a search engine that connects nodes of concepts together, basically.
And it's great for that. And it's impressive!
But all the hype monkeys out there are trying to pedestal it like some kind of techno-super-intelligence, completely ignoring what it is good for in favor of "It'll replace all human coders" fever dreams.
It will have consumed the GigaWattHours capacity of a few suns and all the moisture in our solar system, but by Jeeves, we'll get there!
...but it won't be that impressive once we remember concepts like "monkey, typing, Shakespeare" were already embedded in the training data.
Sometimes a bad UX is just bad UX.
Totally can be! Absolutely!
Although Blender's amazingly usable now and has had lots of love in that regard! But it took a LOT of support to get this far.
Good UX is crazy important.
I think I'm more irritated at the people who seem to show up in so many FOSS discussions, expect FOSS alternatives to compete 1:1 with their billion-dollar corpo-ware of choice, demand the world of it, offer zero support, and then declare "it sucks and isn't ready for the real world" because it's not so perfect that Autodesk and Adobe are like "Well we've had a good run, guys." and give up lol.
I sympathize because I know where the frustration comes from. They're sick of their tools being held hostage by interests that constantly seek to screw them! But change requires flexibility, cooperation, and support.
I think a lot of people just don't want to say "I want Maya/Photoshop/Excel/Solidworks/Windows/etc...but free and without dark-patterns!" (Don't we all lol) Because they know that sounds unreasonable (yarr aside lol) , but people tend to get settled and comfortable with whatever got to them first.
But taking that out on the community isn't helping anybody.
Constructive criticism of UI/UX is absolutely essential though, and requires a lot more understanding of how humans interact with things than simply "Well, billion-dollar-ware has always done it this way." Haha
There's also the cost.
Hi-Point: The hole-puncher for the common folk.
Or auction house AK variants. Or strike old school fear into fascism with a Mosin Nagant or an M1 Garand (ping!).
Lol memes aside (and not judging!) there's hardware to fill the need at all price points. It's the ammo that's hard to keep up with! Also, safety (and skill) training could be a lot more universally accessible and applied.
The time to gain familiarity and proficiency is also a severely limiting factor, and of course the working class have less and less of it.
I think our general attitude and understanding about firearms (in the U.S/"West") has been intentionally poisoned into some bizarre right-wing fetish thing specifically to make sure level-headed, educated, reasonable people who weren't ultra-capitalists wouldn't be the group statistically holding a stupidly unholy amount of them.
I guess my point is: Capitalism will sell you whatever you like. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a vetting process for its preferred audience. It simply adjusts the culture to make the very idea revolting to those it would prefer not selling to, and amplifying the signal to stupidly comical degrees to its target audience.
THIS. How come we constantly find ourselves messing up things where the only practical solution would be simply time traveling to not having done it?
I'm kinda sick of it at this point, either give me a way to fix it, or the slack I give everybody else. If nobody was mortally threatened by my mistake, it's not worth endlessly rattling on or yelling about.
I HATE disappointing people but I'm going to, and sadly statistically at a higher rate than others. Forgive me and move on, or I'll forgive myself and do the same.
It honestly kinda crushes me but I've found myself candidly and sincerely saying things like:
"No I don't wanna go to / do that fun-sounding thing unless I've literally got the whole day for it, because whenever I have too much fun I end up in some kind of trouble where I totally forgot something important or I had some place to be or something, so nah."
I really do wish I could turn to whimsy or serendipity more often, but I'm just expecting to suddenly look at my phone and see missed calls and texts like "Are you almost here?" or "WHERE ARE YOU!?" or something of the like...
I'm even aware this seems like irrational anxiety but boy have I been burned before...
