If your setup allows you to be a productive member of society, you're golden mental health wise. /s
You may want to get your eyes checked if watching HD video on a tiny screen seems preferable unless all your content fits your displays native resolution; I am fairly certain my eyes are terrible. Maybe that's why I love that dark themes are becoming more popular.
Transparency is nice, but Windows Vista is partially what converted me to Linux. I dislike rounded corners too, since content is always rectangular.
I don't know why no mainstream desktop OS really has a good mouse driven tiling setup out of the box. I have a dual screen setup, so I mostly just full screen apps and alt tab if needed which reduces distraction. If I'm trying to focus on a single thing, the second screen gets turned off.
I find myself becoming more minimalist over time as well. Society seems to be more distraction driven by the day, so having an OS that stays out of the way is a boon.
The only option I can think of would be to use a vm. Unless all your apps support restoring sessions, I don't think there's any mechanism to do so globally. Getting stuff to start automatically or as a group using a script is easy enough, but that's less than half your problem as you've described it.
Do tell. a quick search didn't return anything too salacious.
Solving the fragmented community problem is something I've been pondering too, and the meta-community idea you described seems interesting.
Obviously, a proper technical solution will be difficult. Federation comes with a host of challenges, as well as benefits.
Giving communities the opportunity to be open to other like minded people on different instances would be beneficial to the network, for a number of reasons.
If two communities on different instances have the same name, it doesn't seem crazy to ask each of them if they'd like to federate with each other.
That way, apart from instances defederating, discussions could continue even if individual servers go down.
Of course, people love to hold on to their little fiefdoms, so the issue is as much social as technical.
I have little interest in being a mod, but I see the issues you're describing as a user and I've given them some thought.
You can create a community with a similar name or switch instances if you cant get your instance admin to help. For me, the frustration isn't so much with unmoderated communities but abandoned ones, especially on larger instances.
Fixing that seems simpler, as adding a toggle to hide inactive communities should hopefully not be controversial and it could be implemented by the client. Please?
It will be interesting to see how things evolve, as a solution is clearly needed but federation poses some interesting challenges especially since deleting posts should be discouraged.
I think the term you're looking for is internal monologue. I can't really answer the question, but as I am bilingual I do sometimes catch myself thinking without having an internal monologue and I can tell I'm thinking but haven't reached a conclusion almost like watching a progress bar while the language part of my brain catches up.
Then the slavery would be a much bigger piece though, so this meme really makes no sense at all
This is probably the closest to any sort of disclosure we are going to get for a while, and I'm here for it. This is much more persuasive than a cellphone video; that the US government knows that UAP are both real and consider it technology that could change all of our lives is huge even without a known origin.
That's just how research works most of the time. The experimental setup required to build a working prototype and prove the initial hypothesis is always going to be larger and more complex than a mass market appliance. If that appliance ever gets built depends on a huge number of factors too. If the process scales as expected, how complex the device is to produce and if a company thinks that it can make money on it. The researchers, meanwhile, are probably more worried about their next grant funding.
Debian netinst. The network installable iso is much smaller than the full image as you only download stuff you actually want to install. Ubuntu used to have a mini.iso but sadly they got rid of it AFAIK.
I just gotta say, the moderation here makes me so happy I joined this instance.
If that account only ever logged in there, maybe? I'd think they'd be smart enough to look at the most commonly used IP address by the account(s) in question. Then again, it is reddit.
That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.
That's why I asked. There's tons of hardware out there that's works fine but doesn't have TPM2.0. Replacing every windows machine with new hardware would be an environmental disaster, not to mention the expense or supply issues it would create.
Upgrading hardware for software requirements is understandable for performance reasons, but doing so because of a security feature of no practical benefit for the average user is absurd.
What percentage of windows machines are even considered compatible with Win11?
My family just got a dog recently. When people ask me what he is, I always have to fight the urge to reply "He's a dog".
For me, it depends on where I am going exactly. For example, I rarely bring more than a single pair of shoes, unless I'm expecting to go somewhere formal or sandy. One set of clothes per day is usually enough, unless I'm expecting adverse conditions or laundry access. As far as space vs weight, space is fixed by the bag whereas weight is limited by what I can carry and for how long.
Just running through the days and any plans you know of should help, taking the expected climate into consideration for quantity of spares.
I actually mostly agree and was being a bit sarcastic. Training on newer systems is prohibitive anyway as you mentioned. Sending personell is clearly provocative and should be avoided. I just find the argument that the military industrial complex ran out of the bullets to help is laughable.
Obviously, production increases with demand and lags it causing stockpiles to decrease until output increases. Hopefully the quoted assessment is talking about that dip and not a more serious problem.
Really though, Russia knows the US is obligated to help. They signed the memorandum too, after all. It's hard to argue with someone that does so in bad faith, but continuing aid is hardly a provocative act.
2022? Russia and the US have been starting or supporting wars of aggression for decades. Opposing crimes against humanity, by force if necessary, should not be controversial even for a pacifist. History shows clearly what happens when such aggression is met with appeasement.
What solution am I too stupid to think of?
Providing military aid is a last resort and a terrible solution. The only worse solution is to give up and hand over a sovereign nation we promised to protect to a tyrant.
Would I prefer the world get their act together and sanction them until they can't function, obviously yes. I don't think that's very likely though, same as most other proposals for ending the conflict as fundamentally only Putin can end it.
Pretty sure the US is sending old surplus stock, and I'm sure the military industrial complex is salivating at the chance to resupply. Maybe if they send slightly newer stuff it might be over quicker.
At any rate, US support for exactly this type of situation was agreed on in the Budapest memorandum as part of Ukrainian nuclear disarmament. Russia broke their end of the bargain and started a war under false pretenses. It is up to them to end it, exactly like it is up to the US to do so when doing the same thing.
If the world can not unite to stand up to countries starting such conflicts, we shall never know peace.
