The biggest thing for me is that a lot of them don’t officially support dual-booting on one disk, e.g. Kinoite. I like to have multiple distros installed so I have a fall-back. I love using Tumbleweed for gaming, but I’d love to use an atomic distro for my development work. But I don’t want to use one in an unsupported way, as that defeats the point in my eyes.

Yeah I was pretty surprised. There are still some frustrations now and then but the Nvidia driver has gotten much closer to AMD lately. There’s even an open driver being developed.

Transporting large quantities of electricity isn’t easy, you have to have large enough interconnects to handle the energy you’re moving around.

On a theoretical level, food calories represent a specific amount of energy that can be extracted from food. So some kind of calculation could probably be made as to how much work is required to operate the exercise bike, which probably depends on your height and weight. That work uses a certain amount of energy, which is probably equated into calories.

All that said, I have no idea how accurate that would be. And in the end IIRC there’s a bunch of other factors that affect how humans burn calories and gain or lose weight, so in the end the calorie burning stats only really need to be comparable to other calorie burning stats. So I think the bigger question is: Do different exercise equipment types put out comparable numbers?

It’s only illegal federally to gerrymander to dilute minorities. Otherwise it’s up to the individual states.

In 2027 the current iteration won’t be legally able to be sold in the EU, since the EU will require portable devices to have easily replaceable batteries. (Which the Steam does not qualify for due to needing a heat gun). So an upgrade is almost certainly planned by then.

In the long-term yes, but in the short-term and even medium-term, housing takes time to build, so there’s going to be a lag. During that lag, it can cause problems even without NIMBY policies.

For a very long time people will also still need to understand what they are asking the machine to do. If you tell it to write code for an impossible concept, it can’t make it. If you ask it to write code to do something incredibly inefficiently, it’s going to give you code that is incredibly inefficient.

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

If an app has only ever supported X11, then it probably doesn’t care about those limitations (the apps that do care probably already have a Wayland version). And if an app doesn’t care about the extra stuff Wayland has to offer, then there’s not really a reason to add the extra support burden of Wayland. As long as they work fine in XWayland, I think a lot of apps won’t switch over until X11 support starts dropping from their toolkit, and they’ll just go straight to Wayland-only.

Programming languages is way too broad a category. There’s a lot of variation in both power and difficulty.

I think there’s a difference when the source material isn’t great. IIRC Forest Gump is another example.

Just to clarify, a few airplanes still use leaded gasoline. The vast majority do not.

Hm, what didn’t you enjoy about Elden Ring? I started with Sekiro, finished it, and have moved on to Elden Ring (in co-op tho). I have very much enjoyed both.

will not solve issues with compositors not having it

Many compositors already have patches for explicit sync which should get merged fairly quickly.

graphical libraries not having it

Both Vulkan and OpenGL have support for explicit sync

apps not supporting it

Apps don’t need to support it, they just need to use Vulkan and OpenGL, and they will handle it.

Wayland doesn’t implement sync of any kind, they probably meant to say “the Wayland stack”

Wayland has a protocol specifically for explicit sync, it’s as much a part of Wayland as pretty much anything else that’s part of Wayland.

Nvidia is not the only driver that needs to implement explicit sync.

Mesa has already merged explicit sync support.

Eh, IIRC there’s research that if you eat incredible amounts it’ll likely be bad for you. But it’s a lot and the equivalent amount of sugar would be way way worse.

Sounds like a “temporary” error message.

It’s a very strange place to go on fire! A fire? At a Sea Parks? It’s been racking my head!

The first 14 times McCarthy failed to get voted in. They disliked McCarthy so much it took 15 votes to get them in the first place.
