No it's not.

It's a rising star with climate change deniers who wave it around as a "viable" "new" energy source that competes with the, in their opinion unviable solar and wind energy alternative which are already running and generating power at a fraction of the cost associated with building nuclear power plants.

How many more Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Sellafied and Fukushima will it take for people to get it through their thick skulls that running a nuclear plant on Earth is not reasonable?

Sellafield happened in 1957 and they're still cleaning up the site and aren't expecting to finish this century, and that's if they don't run out of money.

Chernobyl is in the middle of the war between Russia and Ukraine and continues to be threatened by idiots with small dicks and big guns.

Nuclear power is not a viable option.

And what is their success rate?

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but huh?

Clearly I missed a briefing somewhere. I thought that crocodiles were from that era, or is that the joke that I'm somehow missing?

I suspect that your success rate will be very low. Bone conduction microphones might be your best bet.

Fundamentally a microphone doesn't know the difference between "good" sound and "bad" sound.

Most noise cancelling solutions are based around the idea that nearby sound is good and distant sound is bad.

It differentiate between the two by using the fact that it takes time for sound to travel.

If you have two identical microphones, you can set them up so that you talk directly into one, but not the other.

Any environmental sounds are picked up by both and used to cancel it - sometimes in software, other times just by reversing the microphone polarity.

Bone conduction microphones get their signal from physical contact with the audio source, your body.

Ooh, silver!

I'd set-up a static website on an AWS S3 bucket. Then you can use AWS Cloudfront to distribute access around the planet.

Cost is mostly negligible unless you are serving big files.

There is not enough information in your post to help you. Here's a preliminary list of questions that need an answer before anyone can give you a meaningful contribution.

Where did you get "Davinci resolve" from?

What instructions were you following to install it?

Did the installation finish?

Have you attempted to login using a text console?

Which version of Kubuntu were you using and which version of "Davinci resolve" were you attempting to install.

I was expecting spectacles and ramen..

I use Docker and (currently) VMware and host whatever I need for as long (or short) as I need it.

This allows me to keep everything separate and isolated and prevents incompatible stuff interacting with each other. In addition, after I'm done with a test, I can dispose of the experiment without needing to track down spurious files or impacting another project.

I also use this to run desktop software by only giving a container access to the specific files I want it to access.

I'm in the process of moving this to AWS, so I have less hardware in my office whilst gaining more flexibility and accessibility from alternative locations.

The ultimate aim is a minimal laptop with a terminal and a browser to access what I need from wherever I am.

One side effect of this will be the opportunity to make some of my stuff public if I want to without needing to start from scratch, just updating permissions will achieve that.

One step at a time :)

It's a package management system in the same way that Flatpack, yum, apt-get, snap and dozens of others are.

If you use MacOS and Linux, it's not inconceivable that you might want to use the same package management system across both.

I've used it, didn't particularly warm to it and didn't install it on my most recent MacOS install after it shat all over itself on a previous installation.

I didn't know that it was available for Linux. Not tempted to try.

I'm a firm believer in apt-get and failing that, Docker with side journeys into podman.

Okay. Couple of things.

• Pop_OS is not Debian and any issues should be raised with the maintainers of that distribution.
• Doing a dist-upgrade is the only thing that can remove packages if a newer package has different dependencies.
• I don't know why you did a dist-upgrade, but likely it was because some packages were held back, which was probably because they removed something.
• You guys is you. If you want something to change, the first step is lodging and issue with the correct maintainers. If you were to lodge this issue in the Debian BTS, I'd be surprised if it survived 24 hours without being closed as being not related to Debian.
• Your approach is unlikely to win you any sympathy or friends. For the most part, we're all volunteers here.

Australia doesn't even have that many officers in total, "only" 65,000.

However, it turns out that the USA appears to have less police officers per head of population when compared to Australia.
