Portland or Seattle would for those criteria well as long as you don't mind rain. Both very progressive cities, weather is generally mild (rarely above 85, rarely below 30, usually less than 2 weeks a year with snow).

Why on Earth would they make it Nvidia exclusive given how thoroughly that company has screwed the pooch on open source drivers and consequently how dominant AMD has come to be in Linux gaming?

The demographics you describe in 1 and 2 are de facto an incredibly small minority compared to other, more typical forms of immigration. Just think about what percentage of the population is wealthy enough to emigrate, let alone engage in borderline sex trafficking.

As for #3, yes, we have a party who is currently succeeding in pitching populism and proto-fascism dressed up in culture war nonsense. The job of progressives is to address those same economic concerns in a manner that actually works rather than the trickle down myth from the right that has so thoroughly gutted the middle class.

Just saying, if 45's acts are deemed political activity protected from prescription, 46 is still in office and is handed carte blanche to engage in all manner of unseemly counterfuckery. At the extreme, I believe Seal Team Six was mentioned, but I'm sure Biden could find lots of fun and creative ways to abuse unfettered executive power.

Best part here is that it's a nonsense statement. Generated electricity is measured in watt hours (be they kilowatt, megawatt, or gigawatt).

Remote work forever, and repurpose the useless office buildings into conveniently located downtown living space to help ease housing shortages and drive urban density.

I am a parent, and... that's not how this works.

Your kid doesn't hear "I need a few minutes to deal with my human feelings," they hear "daddy is mad and doesn't want to play with me." They don't have the emotional intelligence yet to understand that you're a person, not just the mythic figure of parent that they see.

This is why the trope of daddy taking a minute alone on the toilet is A Thing.

On the upside, you'd be surprised how often you can destress precisely by being a kid with your kid, playing Legos and cuddling. Being a dad is hard, but it's awesome.

WHY is Gamora?

Anecdote, I know, but for my use cases, Wayland just isn't there yet- I wind up with far more random bugs and less battery life. I don't pretend to know why, I'm a pleb non-developer, but until that's resolved I'm still stuck on X. I'd love to use the new shiny thing of The Future™, but not at the cost of stability and usability.

Looks to me like a smirk on a Kirk on a jerk.

Windows doesn't let me have a desktop cube or have my windows burn up or be torn apart by claws when closed.

Sure, I also like the GNOME workflow and the open source ethics and repositories and the like, but my inner 12 year old likes the eye candy, too.

Yeah, same experience on Wayland + GNOME for me. I want it to work, but stuff just breaks too often for me to accept at this point. How much of that is Wayland and how much of it is other things failing to work properly with it is kind of immaterial. Regardless, I'll happily jump ship when it's more baked, but now isn't that time.
