Also, Graphene has that duress mode, you set a pin/password that when entered locks out storage, does a wipe, while leaving grapheneOS in place. It seems US citizens maybe needing this in the future.

You have to ask their brain

With your reasoning a short person experiences more sensation in life compared to a super large person, due to proximity of nerves to each other.

All of it is “fake” because sensation is in the brain.

If you have ever been with somebody you really like and ready for then sex is amazing, if your partner wants sex for themselves and you weren’t really into it there is barely any sensational pleasure .

Its great. Some commands aren’t intuitive, but there are tutorials. And if you are looking for the output button its under Project–>render. Chose speed of task makes a quick output by larger file, slide the slider to slowest for better compression.

If you mean as a permanent resident, then a family member who agrees to sponsor you (should you be unemployed and a drain on social services) is super helpful

Wait till they try ls -laz

Common in UK to say th word cunt, but it would be fanny for the genitals, because cunt is usually used to describe a dude being an asshole, or dufus.

Yep, it is the current and future state of USA under the project 2025 mandates. Education, science and health cuts. Brain drain will have the smart people move to other countries.

For out country to country move it was my dad landing a good job and them sponsoring us to move.

For my move from Ontario to BC, Canada it just took a single visit. The scenery and climate in BC was so much better than Ontario. More People had awareness of the environment being important, bikes were everywhere. Social programs made more sense. It just felt like a more civilized society than Ontario cities.

Yep a 2TB 2010 NAS drive still holding data, the spin up time is getting a bit slow and some SMART numbers show it is getting older, so moved my data to a new drive to avoid catastrophic failure.

However watch out for bit rot on old drives. I had a few images fail to load because bits had become corrupted.

A ZFS system would alert you or fix these problems

I mean Dell, Lenovo, HP, system76, etc sell laptops with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS installed

That may have been true for Linux 10 years ago, but now it is easier to install than Windows, and much faster to install. It may mean the axe handle is a different colour, but it chops the same or better.

Its a stereotype like any other joke.

But funniest things I have seen is where people dependent on tech, lack general awareness skills.

There was a girl dropped off to meet a friend in our suburb, the friend was outside but a different area less than 100 feet away. They had their heads down texting each other what looked like “where you at?” “I’m over here” type Convo, and could have been using a location type app.

They wandered around, crossing the street, and walking up and down missing each other, until they eventually were heading directly toward each other and would have collided. They could have saved a few minutes by just looking up and doing a head swivel.

I also saw the same with a Skip-the-Dishes guy on foot following his app to deliver the bag of food, he was half a house off location and going up on the wrong porch, and the lady is out on her porch saying that’s mine, your are delivering over here. He was adimant he had to drop it per the app location, and went off the other way.

So I said dude forget the GPS location , what is the house number, he gave me the number, and I said that’s that house with the lady on the porch, see the numbers on the post over her porch. Then a light bulb went off for him.

But as a balanced bash against boomer generation, my mom thinks WiFi comes through the AC cord to her laptop, and will not accept my explanation of WiFi

The boomers that have embraced technology probably have equal screentime or more since they are retired.

I think the critique sometimes does apply to the younger gen though because a Boomer has had both life with and without phones and can reflect on that and also solve issues outside of the phone realm because that’s how they experience life prephone era.

For example if a young trainee struggles with software, and I ask what they are waiting on, they will say I emailed the vendor last week, just waiting for a reply, whereas the Boomer dude calls the vendor the next day if the email didn’t get a response, and speaks to a person directly and gets an answer sooner.

And thus we have those memes of a young persons phone ringing and them sweating and horrified that their buddy just called them out of the blue.

Yeah. My wife had her implants taken out after 30 years; They looked brand new. Plastics are not forever, but last a very very long time.

Not really against younger people, we have 70 year old stars with these augmentations.

This needs the opposite with a Glass of WINE

I don’t disagree about learning how to use them, but we already have lazy uni students using it to write their papers and they exit uni not knowing how to think critically or how to formulate ideas properly

Anytime you present info to people without them having to digest, comprehend and formulate ideas, you remove opportunity for learning and dementing ideas. Kids copy pasting from LLM to fill in answers is just going to be mindless drol. USA already lacks education, thus why they have denied science, defunded education dwpartment, and are removing vaccine mandates. At this rate USA will slide into the Idiocracy movie plot quickly.

Nah, I dont tgink they(diagnosticians) like the term high functioning anymore. My son has down syndrome and I used to say high functioning, but there has been a shift in using terms like that to describe a person. Its just on the spectrum.
