Interesting that this chart separates the SKUs on the Windows NT kernel but lumps all the Linux kernel stuff together. I have to imagine that this isn’t intentional and it’s just an artifact of how they collect data.

This seems like a better resource for tracking a specific product over time than comparing between them. It’s also worth mentioning, as the other person pointed out, that the Linux kernel is the most audited codebase of all time, so that likely also plays into this a bit.

I actually did this for a while. I bought a sailboat with a friend, moved onto said sailboat, and bummed around for a bit. It’s cheap in bursts, but then you need things. What happens when you have a sudden need for money, like an engine breakdown or a medical emergency? What happens when you suddenly need to travel, like for a funeral or a friend’s wedding?

What happens when one day you need to afford anything beyond the daily living expenditures and you need to get a job and now employees side eye you for having a year or two gap on your resume? This is possible, obviously, but it’s definitely a lot more than it sounds like on the surface.

I’ve tried Fluxer but it’s been a bit fiddly for me on Linux. It’s okay, voice chat works, but there are bugs for me with video chatting or screen-sharing. If it starts getting fixed, I’ll stick with it, otherwise I’m gonna keep looking.

Question for the smarter/more experienced people than me, would a hardware key help with this sort of thing? I know they’re not available everywhere and you essentially need two (or like a safe with your backup password), but I’m curious if those are just like… better.

I tested the waters by telling them I was bisexual and when that didn’t go over well and didn’t show any sign of improving, I just cut them out of my life.

With my friend, though, my found family, I told him I was bi and he cared so little (I think that he said, ‘oh, okay’ and moved back to making dinner) that it really threw me off. I was expecting like… a whole thing. So when I decided to transition, I was determined to surprise him. I just didn’t say anything until I moved far enough into my transition to feel like I had some results, then I visited without telling him. He straight up didn’t recognize me, haha.

Anime geriatric, then

Did you do a sick dance and song, too? If so, they didn’t deserve you.

I would actually prefer a very colorful dance or perhaps a shiny bead, actually.

I did, but it seems very much like authorial biases kind of overshadowed over what was being said. Maybe I just have a different perspective on things, though.

I’m a bit confused because the quotes do seem to do Mythos quite a bit of justice here. Saying it is essentially the equivalent of an elite security researcher seems… good, right?

Isn’t the threat that’s being discussed “what if anyone could point this at anything and then actively exploit the things it finds”?

Right, I’m aware. All electronics are a collection of trade-offs. That is the unfortunate requirement of the modern world.

That’s not a thing that I said I want.

Super valid approach! I’m not out here casting judgement on where people choose to throw their money in a situation like this. I think there’s plenty of nuance and room for different values to end up with different results.

Maaaaaaan, this really does seem like a pretty amazing set of updates. And right after I thought I’d finally made up my mind about Tuxedo. 🤣

That’s fair. As far as I’m aware, Tuxedo laptops have a good history with repairability, and I personally use my devices until they die and are no longer suitable for what I need them for, so I’m not all that worried about being horribly unsustainable with it. I’ve heard Tuxedo laptops are pretty high quality as well, so that kinda covers all my bases.

For me, there’s the added moral imperative of spending less money on US companies as well, though. It’s kind of a balancing act all around. I’m not judging you for picking what you pick, either, though. Just different strokes and all that.

This scene is the only thing that I know about the entire live-action part of the franchise.

Yeah, I’m aware Tuxedo isn’t manufacturing their own parts. I would rather whatever cut isn’t spent on manufacturing costs to go toward an EU company, though.

Because I would rather pay a European company over an American company where possible for similarly valued products. By supporting a company here, I am hopefully contributing to an expanding market here.

Right, but if I spend money at an EU business, it doesn’t go away and might expand to design or make their own computers, or it might move the needle by showing a stronger interest in EU companies that allows for a company that does design parts in the EU to take that space.
