I guess they’re referring to China getting 11% of it’s crude from Iran and nearly 50% from Arab countries that use the hermouz straight. They also have a huge reserve that should last them 3-4 months (or 6-8 months assuming they only lose 50%).

Or… they’ll import more from Russia and reduce consumption to last much longer.

It’s a national emergency, but I don’t think they’re facing mass starvation because of it… Would love for them to expand on what they mean.

“Iran has sent at least 11.7 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began”

I don’t watch any “Linux vet YouTubers” so I have no clue what they may be experiencing and running into, but I’ve been running it daily since alpha, and it’s been rock solid. I’ve had a couple times where the Nvidia driver crashed that could have been caused by cosmic, but I didn’t verify. Though both times I was messing with OBS and a virtual second display.

I don’t like the file manager, the dock/panel are not as customizable as I wish, it’ll glitch after running updates sometimes but a restart of cosmic fixes that. I was never a fan of tiling windows but with cosmic I use it daily on some workspaces.

There aren’t a lot of applets yet, but I like these: package updater, privacy indicator, nitrate, minimon.

I wish I could have expanded ungrouped tabs in the app tray instead of a grouped icon, definitely my biggest annoyance. Otherwise I absolutely love cosmic. I’ve stopped using gnome after gnome shell, and it’s never won me back, kde always felt like a side project just to get it to look how I wanted. Cinnamon is my second choice if Cosmic isn’t available, but I really like Cosmic.

Linus (of tech tips) is a hopeless certified moron, there’s no Linux distro that’ll work for him.

PopOS is a great distro! It’s pretty stable, comes with easy full disk encryption and backup partition out of the box, and just works. I agree with the criticism of calling cosmic v1 already, but I disagree that it’s that bad. I daily drive it and rarely have issues, it’s missing some features I expect in a mature DE though.

It’s fast, it’s stable, it’s beginner friendly, and it’s a perfectly fine distro.

And his drone strikes? Was he following the constitution in good faith?

How about his unconstitutional “intervention” in Libya to topple Gaddafi?

Liberals love wars, they just keep it quiet.

Downvote and run away, war loving liberal. As long as it’s not Americans getting blown up, you don’t give a fuck.

They’re not using dram sticks you can put into your computer. The best we can hope for is manufacturers shifting production back to consumer RAM.

But your income/spending power may very well be reduced to where you can’t order that RAM anyway as a result of the economy collapsing.

It’s not debatable… You linked to a programming language that uses yaml syntax, that didn’t make yaml itself a programming language… It’s not.

And I know there are plenty that use syntactic whitespace, and I hate that about all of them. Literally my only real frustration with python is due to the time of my life wasted debugging perfectly fine logic that fails because a few lines had incorrect indentation.

They pitch their product as ethical. Go ahead, ask it about Israel committing genocide in Gaza and see how much it’ll gaslight you.

Optics, that’s all they’re going for.

Because you can use it on any device without having to install the whole app and sync the data separately… It’s super convenient, and cross-platform.

It’s still self hosted and you own the data.

Because yaml is not a programming language, and debugging why your whatever you’re configuring isn’t working correctly can be a nightmare. It doesn’t tell you you missed an indent on a block, it just assumes it should be there and changes the meaning.

Braces are visually clear.

I bought my model 3 with fsd in 2019, back when the only thing Elon talked about publicly was the push to increase ev adoption. Always hated the guy, but loved the car. Again this was before he came out as a full blown Nazi.

Not defending him, I think he’s a moron who hired really smart engineers to build a great car. I think his drug addiction and Nazism and stupid decisions have ruined the company, and fuck it I don’t even care about it anymore. Fuck Nazi Elon.

That out of the way, yes. Destination to destination, day or night, rain or shine, stop signs, lights, roundabouts, u turns, merges, overtaking, bridges, tunnels, pedestrians jaywalking, handles it all.

It’s not perfect, while it slows down in school zones, it doesn’t actually read the posted speed sign and goes faster than it should, it does weird decisions and jerky moves at very low speed in parking lots, of the address you entered is not a coordinate of the parking lot, it will pull over and disengage on the road in front of the building regardless of whether that’s allowed there. It does still make some mistakes occasionally, so I never trust it to actually not pay attention, but it drives me everywhere.
