We need to sanction these fuckers. If you own a business, stop doing business with them. Don’t conduct any kind of transaction with them. Refuse service, tell them to leave your establishment, etc. Stop dating these losers, hanging out with them, etc. If you have one as your neighbor, give them the cold shoulder. These people live among us. Find out who they are and isolate them as much as possible. Don’t invite their kids to birthday parties, kick their kids out of sports leagues, etc. Be calm, polite and firm.

It’s generally easier because the drivers are built in. Nvidia is perfectly usable, but it’s more susceptible to breaking during kernel updates. It’s not as bad as everyone makes it sound though. That said, AMD is usually the way to go on Linux unless your use case requires Nvidia.

I would love to not pay property taxes. The problems cited in the article are real. But where do they plan to get the revenue from? It has to come from somewhere, and how do we know it won’t be worse than property taxes? They need to tell us the rest of the plan. Municipalities rely on that revenue. I’m concerned DeSantis is doing this to exert control over counties and cities he doesn’t like. I don’t want to live in a place with crumbling infrastructure and no money for schools just because little Napoleon DeSantis doesn’t like the local policies residents voted for. It’s become impossible to take anything he says at face value.

FYI this is the nouveau driver no one uses. There is absolutely no reason to use an nvidia card and this driver.

The point is it's a dumb, old argument that apparently hasn't affected adoption of the language. Python is immensely useful and significant whitespace is a big, fat nothingburger. It's just silly to still be debating it after all these years. The time for that was like 30 years ago.

Meanwhile, Python is one of the most widely used programming languages.

I thought we moved past that complaint 20 years ago. It’s not as if you won’t indent your code anyway.

It wouldn’t be a tragedy and it wouldn’t be terrible. I am confident it will be a worldwide holiday.

I have the latest Framework 13 and I had a ThinkPad before this. I can recommend either of them. The Framework is one of my favorite computers I’ve had, but it’s not cheap. You will save some money if you ever have to make repairs, but I don’t know how the TCO works out for upgrades. It’s more about empowerment and reducing waste though.

Linux runs fine on both the Framework and the ThinkPad. You can pretty much just take your pick of distros and they should work, although you may want to stick with one of the more up to date distros on Framework because it has new hardware. Fedora, Arch-based, Tumbleweed all work well.

We are getting the National Guard in Florida.

I don’t know if it’s a lack of guns that makes Chicago a target so much as it’s a high profile blue city that’s been getting a bad rap for a long time. A lot of people who haven’t been there believe it’s a shithole. I live in Florida and work in Chicago. I expected a crime filled hellscape when I went there for the first time. It turns out it’s beautiful, a chill place, and you can walk down the street safely at night. I’m sure there are pockets that are really bad, but it’s not like you turn a corner and stumble into one. Meanwhile, you have cities all over Florida that are more of a dump, with drugged out zombies, hobos, crime, and crumbling infrastructure.
