Yes batteries are getting real cheap now, they are less than half the price they were when we bought our system 2½ years ago.
With sodium battery production scaling up, those will probably be both even cheaper more durable and safer.
So a couple of years down the road, the value of buying batteries will probably be insane.

Go on (the) Xitter and be as bigoted a Nazi as you like.
X pronounced SH like in Chinese.

Probably the same way you got pineapple from Ananas.

most people are deluding themselves if they think their cooking is better than any restaurant that isn’t totally terrible.

Absolutely true.

It does not take very many tries to start cooking better than a restaurant.

Goddam it must be some lousy restaurants in your area.
My wife cooks really good food, and I love her food. But a proper restaurant with a proper chef, they are better than good, they are professionals and also professionals at picking fresh produce and good cuts to use.

But I agree, it’s pretty easy to learn to cook a decent meal.

And the best part is you can make sure that only your favorite ingredients get in there.

It also means the food will have less variation. To appreciate good cooking properly, you need variation.

I just open sites in private windows, but u/yaroto98 made a comment showing that using Firefox, you don’t have to anymore.

Firefox is your savior.

Wow that’s amazing I didn’t know that, and I’ve been using Firefox in like forever.
I just checked my browser settings, and sure there it was: edit menu -> settings -> privacy and security
And it was enabled just like the page you linked writes it’s supposed to be. 👍

I have no idea when that feature was added, I never noticed any negative results from it. Everything works like it’s supposed to, like digital signature, banking, and a number of special sites that use cookies to make it easier to use them.

Nice to know I don’t always have to use private windows to avoid cookie snooping between sites.
Another win for Firefox! 😀 😎 👍

No, but their fortunes need to be taxed.

Exactly. 😋

Yes, the pain is almost unbearable.

No you could die, depending on the difficulty of the game.

Man this is stupid, but it is also funny. 🤡 👏👏👏

Same here, and to be fair, I had to ask my wife. 🤣

Nvidia drivers do not always play nice with the kernel, and can disrupt high end audio use. If you use Linux you should use an AMD or Intel GPU.
My wife used to use Nvidia, because it worked better for some games, but she finally ended up getting pissed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and switched to AMD about a year ago. And now all her games that used to work with Nvidia drivers also work with AMD.
AFAIK Debian support Nvidia proprietary drivers reasonably well today, but for older Nvidia cards you may be out of luck, they can be a real shitshow to get to work if you want to use the proprietary driver.
Best option is to just stop using Nvidia on Linux!

Nah it’s symmetrical enough IMO. I don’t care much about the mirror anyways. 😋

?

I don’t get it?

Edit:

Ah now I think I got it, it’s because the mirror isn’t symmetrical to the sink.
So it’s more like a non OCD bathroom.

Personally I prefer an Arch derivative, and neither of us can convince the other. 😋
However we both see the merits of “the other side”, we just have different preferences. But we also have some fun with it if some times. 😎

My wife uses Debian and is very happy with it.
She uses it both for gaming and studio recordings with Ardour.

Debian has for decades been among the most respected distros in the Linux world, and it still is.
If you want something solid, Debian should be your first choice.

Edit PS:
She also uses it for programming occasionally. Debian is an excellent platform for “coding” with its huge repositories.
But most Linux distros are very good for programming, and will have all the common necessary tools readily available.

There is no ultimate purpose in a cosmic sense.
We can define one if we want to, but it will always be subjective to our own opinions.

Maybe we are an effort of the Universe to save itself from its ultimate fate that it is dying a slow heat death or ending in the terminal maximum entropy?

The intelligence of life can be determined as its ability to sustain itself. In the same way the intelligence of the universe can be determined as its ability to sustain itself.

IDK, maybe in billions of years some life form will be able to save the universe?
