Funnily enough, in French, “latine” is the feminine form of the adjective “latin” lol

My point was twofold: that the type of user that wouldn’t care about it being Linux or not just wouldn’t care either way, and that making a distinction based on… intent (?) is arbitrary. They’d have perfectly counted as Windows users if the Deck was a Windows machine, after all…

Most of the time Bluetooth and Wifi are provided by the same chip. Bluetooth runs on 2.4GHz, like WiFi up to N-band.

Edit: I’m too slow, looks like!

We can also change your thought experiment to help people conceptualise the “billion” part. Instead of a lump sum after a billion years, let’s just take the original million and divide it so you receive the same amount for every year you complete. Does receiving a hundredth of a cent ($0.001) for every year you sit in said room sound like a very good deal?

Even with hundreds of billions of dollars, it sounds like an insanely bad deal. It doesn’t even cover a yearly salary, and money would be completely unusable for 99.99% of that time lol

I’d say it’s just a specific case of a strawman argument, but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

I fully believe that everything that actually is possible is already being worked on as quickly as possible.

That’s either very optimistic about our level of knowledge about the universe, or a purely semantic thing where you count the precursor technology of another technology that would eventually be the major breakthrough as “already being worked on”…

Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.

However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol

When I was a kid, a “normal” tip was 15%. I remember cause it’s equivalent to our sales tax lol. Somehow the expectation became 18-20% in the last couple years. I guess tipped jobs being often minimum wage doesn’t help - feeling the squeeze of the last handful of years’ inflation?

Nvidia and Linux tho? Not too hopeful about driver quality lol

I just doodle on paint or equivalent (in my case as I'm on Linux I use Drawing).

It's a commercial offering with a free tier.

He just told you why not to put it in /usr/bin: it's where your package manager puts executables.

I'm not too sure why it's important where your users put your script from a script author perspective? Otherwise, just check the default $PATH content for a fresh user on said system, and put it somewhere in there.
