I would have agreed a few months ago, but tell that to Joe Biden.

I so badly want a source for this.

I like it much better when Republicans stick to pushing for things that are just useless rather than destructive.

Came here to find a Mitch Hedberg reference; was not disappointed

Yes, tell us more…

Sigh…reinstalling Deus Ex today, then.

They just had to make it look like a Geth.

Yeah, we got a Daikin setup installed by MSP, who work in the Twin Cities metro.

We got a new heat pump installed in our 1920s house in Minnesota a couple years ago. It works its ass off all year, and only needs help from the boiler in the deepest depths of winter, which it probably wouldn’t if the house were better insulated. It’s always cheaper for us than gas, and it feels great to have our climate control 80-90% decarbonized.

I’m skeptical. “Efficiency” could mean a lot of different things, even the the context of memory management. And it’s a weird metric to put forward since as far as I know, RAM is not really what’s holding us back at the moment.

I’m all for experimenting with new OS designs, but I think even Google just gave up their best try at being better than Linux, so I guess it’s not impossible that Huawei has done it, but I think not likely.

It is exactly that. I don’t understand the hate…Wayland is vastly better, less complex and more secure at the fundamentals of running an accelerated window system.

I just recently felt this again, since I decided it had been too long since I’d installed a weird OS, and now I’m running Wayfire on FreeBSD as suggested by the Wayland section of the setup guide and it turns out…it’s a descendant of Compiz. Wobbly windows are BACK!

Automatic upvote for Jeeves.

The PowerPC laptops felt absolutely bulletproof in this way — you could yank out a bunch of USB / Firewire cables and slam the lid shut and you just KNEW it would wake up fine every time.

It hasn’t really felt that way to me since the Intel transition. Now that we’re back on Apple silicon…we shall see. I haven’t gotten one yet.
