If you want a non-terminal os based on linux you just have to make something like android or chromeos or steamdeckos.
Those are and pretty popular, so I don’t know who can claim linux is “terminal obsessed” it’s just a kernel and there is a wide diversity of os based on it.

Debian , fedora , suse etc might all be “obsessed” with the terminal.
For me that’s just the obvious economical way to offer features. decent GUI costs a lot more to develop and document - so you have to have less features for a given amount of dev time. Or you have google /valve/microsoft type amounts of resources to spend.

I always thought this “year of linux” thing was a meme to make fun of canonical or idiotic tech journalists .
Is anyone realitsitcally interested in volunteering their time to win over legions of Microsoft fanboys. Fuck me sounds like hell.

And frankly the use of terminal is going to be far from the first blocker to linux adoption for those who don’t even know they’re using windows or mac.

“micro soft pp”

i think a lot of people get misled by all the pictures.

The aurora tends to look very grey and washed out to the naked eye.
Unless they’re moving fast enough they’re easily mistaken for thin hazy grey cloud.

Most of the pictures you’ll see are with long exposure settings to get the colours to show much more vivid than they actually appear.

I guess this might be different with these strong aurora - I didn’t look last night but I’m right in a city anyway.

A lot of trickle down economics fans in this thread.

I think your argument works if someone is stealing the beef.

If they are buying it then that is directly funding that “90%”.

Volvo probably trying to cast off their reputation for being “safe ang boring” and take on a more edgy image.
Ditching Internal combustion in favour of steam power is also a major shift for them.

I’d go raspberry pi for kids - gpio projects are fun and linking computer to physical world.
The newer ones are a bit pricey for what they are though.

As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It’s “expanding” in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
Its more stretching internally.

So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
You could maybe also say it’d take more energy to move between the points in a set time.

There’s probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.

It’s probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of “distance” between things might not be what we think.

But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved ‘dark’ mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.

you masarchist

widdows 2000 was the pinnacle for me, beat XP until i wanted to go to 64 bit.

Apart from having 64-bit, XP was a step back; even if I don’t count the fucking dog thing.
XP was a fair bit harder to de-bloat than win 2000 and they were hell-bent on forcing internet exploder on the world.

XP was also at a time when Linux was becoming pretty easily usable and mac osx was impressive too - I remember using those imac coloured egg things at university in 2000. They were good apart from the mouse, and ran MS office pretty well.
StarOffice was already better than MS-Word at dealing with .doc format across versions.
and ancient version of Wordperfect were miles better for WP anyway (“reveal codes”).

windows XP was already down to gaming, adobe and CAD/other specialist apps, plus maybe MS Excel that just weren’t as good or not available on linux.

I keep typing ls into the command prompt.
Generally it seems to try to do something then crash the cmd.exe process.

I wonder about raspberry pi - it’s the image you download that has the known user and password.
It might mean that you can’t sell one with a pre-imaged, pre-installed sdcard unless you customised the image.

I use “4cab”.
They’ll never guess that.

edit - deleting my comment
, i didnt notice which forum.
actual answer is: showerthoughts or something?

I’m not sure i rate this particular article.
They seem to sort of hint at the importance of power and energy efficiency
But why did they then “ask about TDP” ? Surely they they need to know the actual input power(or energy) to achieve the benchmark, not TDP which is itself a wierd thing for chips that self regulate temperature by throttling.

I’m not inclined to pay attention to this journo.

some of them might even have these papery things with brothers grimm or hans christian andersen stories in them.

I thought Disney was “nearly a requirement” . . . sounds to like those precious few who can manage without might have some useful information.
Typically this is what happens in a free competitive market, when a price goes up people look for substitutes.
And if they face constraints in moving to the substitute, they will benefit from help in loosening those constraints.

do google also provide all the data on clickthroughs thorough which the success of campaigns might be measured?
And i mean “Measured” by extremely dumb people whose best hope in life is probably to bullshit their way into becoming a director of sales and ma . . .
