I can live with that, 100miles of range is more than I use day to day, so is 60miles. Winter road trips could be a pain, but that’s maybe once a year

The law is just a bunch of words, it can’t make you do anything or prevent you from doing anything. Follow it or don’t your call

The article says 2.5b people is the max for everyone to have a high standard of living. Lower standards of living could be supported for a larger population. At least that’s the claim.

Idk if that’s necessarily true, though I suppose it depends on what you define as the high standard of living. That isn’t well spelled out. It also assumes there isn’t significant change in energy input required for the high standard output.

Now why’d you have to go and ban me from everything? grrrr

Zulip maybe?

The main advantage for me is I can accelerate faster in a manual, automatics just can’t keep up out of the gate

I tried to always buy manuals, then I got married to someone who struggles with manuals. Now we have automatics sad times

You can do object detection, not generative stuff, at least not with anything resembling useful results

Budget desktops are and will remain effectively useless for AI not enough RAM, not enough GPU oomph. And cost more to run than they provide unless they are serving a static web page for a small business or something. Shill your bubble somewhere it could actually be utilized.

I tend to use rolling release because I tend to update my hardware with some regularity. Also I hate opening an app or a desktop environment and when I go looking for newly announced features they aren’t there within a day or two. Considering current hardware prices the latter has been my primary motivation last couple years.

This is true having talked to a few enlisted they are wary of re-enlisting when their contract is up. Anecdotal I guess but at least some people really don’t like where things are going.

I initially started using it because I needed the newest drivers and back ports on Mint was taking to long, since then I’ve stuck with rolling release so I don’t have to deal with driver hell. I stick with Arch over say Debian Tumbleweed at this point mostly from momentum.
