No, nothing taken to heart. I also hate bloat, like W11 (for work) is barely usable…so much janky garbage, and I have to keep deleting Ai.exe and aimgr.DLL from certain folders.

I just don’t care about boot since I have a fanless case, with a system that is on 24/7, and the systems that do boot is basically: hit power on and adjust mouse/pad while it boots and it’s ready to go.

I did try about 10-15 distros on a 2010 laptop till I found one that was super quick on that hardware.

Turns out NixOS with gnome was super responsive compared to NiXOS with KDE. People say GNOME is heavy, but because it does so much memory prefetch it was super responsive on a 15 year old CPU since cached memory was being used rather than KDE loading as you go.

You recognize the irony of replying with an AI generated message that took compute time and watts…

Yeah. I saw the first explosion live in the 80s. All the classrooms had their TV AV units rolled in to watch the launch of first women in space or something to that effect. And OHHH that looks bad

Sure but performance tweaking is a different argument than “init is better because it is fast”. If you watch the video link I posted it explains why systemd exists and its benefits. Speed alone isn’t a good metric for an OS

The training of that LLM probably took a ton of energy though

They have parachutes for a softer landing on water. They aren’t hitting it at terminal velocity from the free fall

Except when it exploded

Children can have high IQ

They have parachutes to slow decent, so its not just a hard drop from space to ocean surfacw

I don’t get that as a problem, my systems are systemd and boot is 10s, and shutdown is 8s. And that’s not a super highend machine.

Let’s say you get a 5 second boot? So what , what will you gain in 5 seconds. You aren’t running critical military intelligence network or something.

Boot and shutdown are faster

Lol. Are people still casing 2 second shut down vs 3 seconds, etc? An OS system services system shouldn’t be graded on speed of boot or shutdown, but how well it does what it was designed to do.

This 45 minute video explains why systems was needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

But that’s the nice thing with Linux, you can run what you like.

Its one step better at least

As time moves on and more people might choose a meatless diet, there will be adjustments in pricing with less meat productuon, but also offset by land price probably dropping, since cattle farming takes a lot of crops and space to convert approx 16g of veg protein to 1g of beef protein.

I think some BIOS have a disable option if I recall correctly, but is it actually disabled?

OpenAI is not a private LLM. You’d have to use Lumo, or selfhost etc.

Its like posting on Facebook, people will see it, whether that is an employee or public

Now stores were lobbying for surge pricing , Ugghhh

I mean that could seem good if you spend enough to cover yearly fee, however there is no free money; that 2% they give you is from their profit of charging merchants a larger percent to use the credit system, and that merchant passes that cost onto you with higher prices. So say a 4% merchant increase and we’d get 2% back of overpaying.

That is unfortunate, there is so much data out there on cities that went with bike lanes and transit and how it had health benefits for everyone (not just the walkers and bikers)

Same, contacted support one time only in about 9 years for a refund on a game I played for 15 minutes or so and realized it was not what the short video and notes really described it as. No questions asked, total refund.

WestCoast is building more Skytrain infrastructure right now, and proposing new buslines. Dedicated bikelane proposals are also out for public review on best options. You just have to live in the parts of Canada that care about health and environment.
