Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it. Frankly, your argument kinda proves my point.

It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?

“This is wrong” — Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight

Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Ah, TIL. I just figured it was the KDE-est general-purpose distro.

But still, shouldn’t it at least have a development version of Plasma Login Manager sooner than any others, for testing?

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

Recyclable carbon fiber is an innovation that applies well beyond just wind turbine blades. Is the tech going to be shared with e.g. the bike industry?

Do you have to be European?

Quit lying, you disgusting piece of shit!

You are a libelous motherfucking troll and need to be banned.

Self-defense is not a threat, and fuck you for trying to pretend otherwise.

Would you happen to have a source for that? Admittedly this is based on nothing more than my anecdotal experience living through it, but I owned a PocketPC back then and I distinctly remember feeling like I was in the minority compared to Palm or Blackberry.

What the Hell could it possibly ever even need a firmware update for?! The vast majority of headsets aren’t even physically capable of having firmware (because they connect using 3.5mm analog audio jacks), let alone receiving an update for it!

I use a mouse that doesn’t require anything beyond the generic USB HID driver that comes with Linux in the first place.

(Okay, okay, I could also use OpenRGB if I wanted to control the lights. But still, it uses fuck-all software provided by the manufacturer.)

What does that have to do with water pressure? In that system, the energy comes from the heat.

When was that? I only remember Palm having a lead, and then Blackberry, and then iOS and Android. Windows CE and Windows Mobile were never more than also-rans.

Windows 95 on CD-ROM included three music videos, presumably to show off the capabilities of the format.

The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says “I’ll be very humane.”

The United States has invaded more countries than anyone else.

Britain would like a word…

(Or do you think the folks they invaded don’t count because their societies weren’t organized in the white definition of “countries?”)

The trick is traveling between the arctic and antarctic quickly enough on each equinox.
