Do you want to take a genetic modification and let the new DNA alter your body for 40 years for it to take effect, or do you want to become a comic character?

*end-to-end

Me too. But I stopped hopping ten years ago and settled down on Alpine, Void, or Gentoo, based on how fancy the hardware is, and the use case.

To me, the hopping part relates more to tinkering and fine-tuning. Today I prefer things just work. I wish no down time on all my devices and servers, because who has time to figure out why my photo doesn't sync to my NAS, or dig up that piece of paper when my password manager does not respond because of the proxy service is down?

Does anything show up in dmesg when you plug in the adaptor?

I read that you don't have another adaptor or computer for debugging, but it's equally sad that it's most probably the best result you can get, knowing or not knowing what the root cause is. You literally need to test another adaptor, try another SD card, try a different USB port. Basically throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. It would work without technical knowledge eventually.

Rebasing is for advanced git users who knows what he's doing. If one does not know how to use it or not feeling comfortable in general, he can happily take his own code and try to merge it into the latest version instead. No one is judging.

For the rest of the world where projects are open-source, more often than not, not those projects inside a corporation where only the team lead is making decisions, it's a powerful tool to settle down conflicts sort out history.

One does not need to change the history again, if he's not comfortable with it. Just use git as if it's centralised VCS like SVN. No big deal. In fact, in corporations you do. There only needs to be one person who manages the repository.

I know, right? The pronoun for third-person female did not exist historically. When western culture hit China 100 years ago, they swap out the part where it means 'human' to make a new word.

Now when someone wants to refer to one in a gender-neutral way, they naturally write out the phonetic 'ta', as if the gender-neutral word is for male only.🤦

Same goes for second-person pronoun in Taiwan.

Stop these bullshits! The Chinese language does not need to address the gender! Figure that out in context! If you are writing and don't want to confuse your reader, just use the name!

All those dangling function bodies... and there come the garbage collector.

Uh... WASM?

Good for you! A few months after I started running seriously, I couldn't stop asking myself that why I didn't start running 30 years ago.

More like getting paid to multitask. In most meetings it's fine to just say 'Sorry, I was distracted. Could you repeat the question?' We attend meetings because we are needed only 5% of the whole time, and working our own stories in the background is a norm.

Try KOReader as well.

I have been purposefully avoiding Intel for the last six years. AMD CPUs are great if you are not stressed on ultra low power consumption. More threads, less money. AMD GPU drivers are open source and well integrated into the kernel, unlike NVidia's proprietary driver, which I will never go back to.
