If you want a non-terminal os based on linux you just have to make something like android or chromeos or steamdeckos.
Those are and pretty popular, so I don't know who can claim linux is "terminal obsessed" it's just a kernel and there is a wide diversity of os based on it.

Debian , fedora , suse etc might all be "obsessed" with the terminal.
For me that's just the obvious economical way to offer features. decent GUI costs a lot more to develop and document - so you have to have less features for a given amount of dev time. Or you have google /valve/microsoft type amounts of resources to spend.

I always thought this "year of linux" thing was a meme to make fun of canonical or idiotic tech journalists .
Is anyone realitsitcally interested in volunteering their time to win over legions of Microsoft fanboys. Fuck me sounds like hell.

And frankly the use of terminal is going to be far from the first blocker to linux adoption for those who don't even know they're using windows or mac.

i think a lot of people get misled by all the pictures.

The aurora tends to look very grey and washed out to the naked eye.
Unless they're moving fast enough they're easily mistaken for thin hazy grey cloud.

Most of the pictures you'll see are with long exposure settings to get the colours to show much more vivid than they actually appear.

I guess this might be different with these strong aurora - I didn't look last night but I'm right in a city anyway.

Either way, assuming I can find a large stick or rock, I'd have enough patience to do a manual physical uninstall and get back to my solitude. So I think I'd be pretty ambivalent.
I guess smashing the shit out of windows would be slightly more satisfying - but that's not really the main reason I'm alone in the woods.

And yes - before you ask the obvious follow-up - I have smashed the shit out of a thinkpad in the past, they're not as tough as people say they are; it's mostly false bravado. Don't be afraid to stand up to the bully (ymmv).

People need to stop being such noobs, getting software from repo.
It's crazy to trust precompiled software force fed to people by evil-big-foss corporations.
Real pros check every line for malware each time there's an update and compile from source.

As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It's "expanding" in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
Its more stretching internally.

So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
You could maybe also say it'd take more energy to move between the points in a set time.

There's probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.

It's probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of "distance" between things might not be what we think.

But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved 'dark' mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.

widdows 2000 was the pinnacle for me, beat XP until i wanted to go to 64 bit.

Apart from having 64-bit, XP was a step back; even if I don't count the fucking dog thing.
XP was a fair bit harder to de-bloat than win 2000 and they were hell-bent on forcing internet exploder on the world.

XP was also at a time when Linux was becoming pretty easily usable and mac osx was impressive too - I remember using those imac coloured egg things at university in 2000. They were good apart from the mouse, and ran MS office pretty well.
StarOffice was already better than MS-Word at dealing with .doc format across versions.
and ancient version of Wordperfect were miles better for WP anyway ("reveal codes").

windows XP was already down to gaming, adobe and CAD/other specialist apps, plus maybe MS Excel that just weren't as good or not available on linux.

In rural Scotland (at least in Fife , Perth +Kinross) I noticed a lot of
60mph-40mph - 20mph - 40mph-60
sort of slow down buffer zone type things around villages.

Much better than 60 - 30-60 we normally have in England.
And noticeably quieter too.

I hope they carry on with that.
I think Wales did 20mph in all rural villages.

Fuck England.

I wonder about raspberry pi - it's the image you download that has the known user and password.
It might mean that you can't sell one with a pre-imaged, pre-installed sdcard unless you customised the image.

Bilbo Bagshot : I used to know this guy, Minty. He had a dog who he'd train to attack rich people. He was into the whole class-war thing. He called the dog Gramsci after an Italian Marxist. Rumor has it, it could smell wealth from up to 20 feet. The thing is, it all backfired. Minty won 100 grand on a scratchcard and Gramsci bit his knees off.

Tim : That's terrible.

Bilbo Bagshot : Not really. He used the money to buy new knees.

I think it's not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I'm a bit less sure.

oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn't realise there was an actual other y2k problem.

How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I'd better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It's a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.

Well there was a lot of banking deregulation from 1971 onwards?
Let's give that bank regulation idea another shot maybe - it can't do worse.

Nearly 75% of journalists killed in 2023 died in Israel’s war on Gaza: CPJ ( www.aljazeera.com )

Seventy-two of the 99 journalists killed worldwide in 2023 were Palestinians reporting on Israel’s war on Gaza, making those 12 months the deadliest for the media in almost a decade, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)....

oo1 ,

Those 2 Israelis were probably supporting hamas and spreading hamas propaganda and eating jewish babies. why else would they be in gaza? Real journalists can get all the evidence they need sitting in Tel Aviv to do honest unbiased journalism. They shoudl be working on articles about all the nice upcoming new beachfront luxury properly development opportunity in south-west israel.
It's anti-semetic to fall for these journalist costumes being worn by all these hamas agents - the world should be grateful it is now safe from their lies and suicide bombs.

I'm not sure i rate this particular article.
They seem to sort of hint at the importance of power and energy efficiency
But why did they then "ask about TDP" ? Surely they they need to know the actual input power(or energy) to achieve the benchmark, not TDP which is itself a wierd thing for chips that self regulate temperature by throttling.

I'm not inclined to pay attention to this journo.

did they ever start actually doing anything useful?

between sharepoint and microflop dynamics-CRM, azure and windows (whatever the fuck version)
and mother-fucking oracle, I can often go days after booting up before I can do anything useful.

Sometimes I think the only people who can do any work are the procurement team and the only work they can do is issue MS purchase orders.

I thought Disney was "nearly a requirement" . . . sounds to like those precious few who can manage without might have some useful information.
Typically this is what happens in a free competitive market, when a price goes up people look for substitutes.
And if they face constraints in moving to the substitute, they will benefit from help in loosening those constraints.

Even the command great awk is not real.
There's some pretty strong evidence that the command great awk did actually exist until version 1840 but after that a couple of crazy scots implanted a wyrm into the kernel to kill it off because they thought it was a windows executable.

Since then, nope, not real.
