They are not PR people, don’t expected that of just normal people having fun. No one is promising “chrome killer coming in six months”.

Thig is that for SerenityOS they want to make everything from scratch, ssh, ssl, libraries, utils, text editor… even the browser. They could have just porr Firefox, but that was not the point. To use it you had to complile whole OS.

But since browser got some attention and sone complex sites (like guthub and twitter) started working in it, to make project more viable they are dropping this constraint for browser. I guess they migt use some gui library, ssl lib, codecs… stuff like that. But, I expect, they will not use others code for rendering engine and js, but continue with implementation from documentation.

While some in this thread say they are racist, homophobic and stuff. Maybe some are maybe just not polished for public speak, do we really think everyone in google is totally clean?

The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that’s quite nice.

I enjoy some of his music. And respect following he created.

You should take a look at his drawings, search a little for those. Example: https://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/jim_morrison_original_pencil_drawing_circa_1957-lot7524.aspx

By that and other information, sounds to me like he had hard childhood and unhappy life.

Information about him is not as easy to just find, but biography might be interesting read.

First thought is that you need to do that research aa soon as you move to the new house, change your insurance or job.

Second is obvious, strange county you have over there. But I guess most of the people are satisfied with that, as with paying for school.

Why wouldn’t they? It just measures electrical resistance of the soil, less moisture means more resistance. Nice and simple.

I have cheap one connected to arduino, and small water pump conected to it too. It works nicely.

Which brend and model didyou get?

And it is always a question how they calculated handling of nuclear waste.

There are options, we can use coal and natural gas for on demand power to fill the gaps in renewables, we don’t have to quit all at once. New ideas for energy storage and comming around, some of them might be useful for small towns, others for remote places.

My GeoTIFFs do not agree.

I have the same recommendation, try slack out it really feets.

But I think it will be like Genie fullfiling your wishes - you don’t really know what you are looking for, but it might really suit you.

Slackware is obvious choice, exactly what you are looking for.

It was my first distro and I miss it a lot. Simplicity and stability are main selling points.

Good idea.

This is the dilema since we use lithium batteries. And if it was truth we would be certain of it.

I believe that there is a difference, but I think it is in the range of few percents of capacity lost per year, which means you will be using 60% of the capacity. That’s capacity you get after 10+ years of use.

We all know batteries don’t last that long anyway.

All that said I do keep laptop on 80% ¯_(ツ)_/¯
since I rarely use it on battery.

I lay down on couch for 20 minutes.

When I work from home. In the office I can not manage to rest even on the couch.

This is just what is visible to users/customers which is just top of the iceberg.

Real use of AI is in every industry and best use case is for jobs that were imposible before.

AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

t490 is usb-c

I agree, we need support for it in libreoffice and than other document editors.

We can not expect people to use codes, but editor that saves to it would be grat.

It is unbelievable we do not have standard document format.

I think that something like 70% of microplastic comes from car tires, our paper straws will not help with that issue.

I also think that plastic by itself is the least of a problem we have. As I understand it is just ugly on the landfill.

What is the problem is organic waste in plastic bags, with which we could be making compost but instead it is creating methane and increasing global warming.

Single use plastic is bad, but we do have other fronts that are easier to win.

Here is nice help for python software to determine XDG directories (and more): https://pyxdg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basedirectory.html

PyXDG contains implementations of freedesktop.org standards in python.
