Unfortunately followed up by the Cloverfield Paradox

Ultralight laptops exist outside of Apple, you know that right?

Not enough apple PCs in those.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks.

I love glass and choose it over plastic every time, but there is the argument that using glass causes more CO2 emissions because of the extra weight.

Observation and Deliver us the Moon

Yes to the first, as for the second, who knows, but most likely not, as it'll be mixed plastics and you can't just mix them all together and make something out of them

Ah yes, the Nordic model.. Like Sweden and it's obsession with drugs, to the point where the doctors will rather you suffer than get you help because if they give you something that can be perceived as addictive, you'll just become a degenerate addict.

How about the zero tolerance part on having or being on drugs, the one where they will literally ruin your life and any future prospects if they find you with a banned substance in your blood..

You know where that's led to? It's led to Sweden having the highest drug related death rate in Europe.

I don't get why governments get to tell people what they can and cannot take tbh. I love smoking weed, if I have the right strain it decreases my anxiety by 80%,but some fucker in government only understands "drug bad", so fuck me and my anxiety.

Yup, and I've spent hours troubleshooting dumb fucking issues on Linux servers that often end up with me just blasting it away and starting again because the further I get into it, the more shit I find broken.

Linux is stable and repeatable, that's why it's great for servers. But I've wasted way too many hours of my life troubleshooting dumb problems that shouldn't even be problems and often I just say fuck it and rebuild it. I don't want to do that on my desktop thanks. Especially because sometimes I do random mindless shit. Look how Linus uninstalled his UI because he didn't know any better. The last time I uninstalled the entire UI on windows was when converting a Server 2012 machine to server core.

But I think the bottom line is, let people use what they want.

My friend only uses arch and there's a few games we want to play together but it doesn't work on Linux, there's also plenty of times we have to wait while he's troubleshooting shit when we want to play games.

He's an SRE with about 22 years of experience. It's not even a skill issue.

We often jokingly say "have you tried using windows?" or "this wouldn't happen on windows" and dumb shit like that. But he uses Arch and wr all accept that and that there are some issues and the things said are in jest. He sometimes hits us with the same shit. But overall we respect that we want different things from our PCs and I do enough of this shit at work for me to want to do anything at home besides click on some UI shit and things just work.

Its okay to be different and it's okay if you use Linux and I use windows, bashing on about how bad it is isn't winning any friends or favor and the general toxicity with this shit puts a lot of people off of even trying Linux.

It's pretty much the same in Sweden. And the only places you can buy alcohol are owned and run by the government

My mom lives there, I left 3 years ago because the economy is in shambles and crime is out of control. Can I change it? No. Can any of the people I know change it? No. It's like farting against thunder in that place, it's been a downward trend since the end of Mandela's presidency and the majority want the ANC to be in control, and the ANC keeps everyone uneducated enough to be able to use simple propaganda, gifts and lies to keep getting voted in term after term. I watched my country fall apart and be robbed blind by the corrupt government, I saw as more and more of her people lived in squalor and I was helpless to do anything about it. It hurt me enough that I had to leave, there was nothing I could do. Now I don't have a car.

The point of my original comment is that cars are great for travelling long distances to places where there is no public transport, limiting them to bicycle speed negates all of that and will hinder people's lives to an insane degree. Like for instance I would then probably need to take vacation to visit my mom for it to be worth the 10 hours of travel. And that's not even going into the fact that you have to travel on one of the most dangerous highways in SA, if you break down or stop, it is guaranteed that you will be robbed or killed, if there's heavy traffic, it's guaranteed that some will be robbed in the traffic jam. Going down that highway at night at 25km/h is asking to get murdered or raped.

While a carless utopia and "just change it" are great ideas and all. Reality is far from that easy.

Msconfig is also handy for disabling services as you can hide default MS services
