I’m dubious of faster than life travel being for reasons beyond our understanding of physics. If there were a reasonable way to do so 1 race anywhere in the galaxy could have colonized the entire galaxy or at least a substantial portion thereof in only a few million years. If it is possible it seems to suggest that life is so rare that there are very few forms of higher intelligent life in the galaxy at any given time and probably relatively few ever.

Flatpak isn’t going to have every library, cli tool, or even every GUI tool. I think in the end out of date just isn’t worth it.

I’d like to see non-synthetic benchmarks showing real world performance increase in otherwise as close as possible to identical systems

Why would you think soldering would increase performance vs socketed at all much less provide “much higher performance”

If soldered was the only option ans 6 skud was enough for everyone everyone would have to buy very expensive hardware to increase one spec instead of smart people getting to mix match and upgrade.

The sad thing is in the US its extremely likely the fellow would have already been dead after years living on the streets with a cardboard sign.

It’s deeply weird that it rates Staff Punctuality Helpfulness Knowledge and then averages them. Kinda funny that if Dr Ned had a nice nurse he would probably rate higher than House.

If you use a GUI configuration tool for NetworkManger like virtually every user I don’t know how that works. Odds are not well.

If you don’t think Stalin was a autocrat I don’t think you are worth talking to. Good day.

China is a market economy with strong central controls it mixes market and planning as I have suggested.

You don’t think Stalins Russia was an autocratic regime? He murdered to get and keep power and was murdered in turn. Their successor state is run by a dictator! There is no dictatorship of the proletariat forthcoming. The withering away of the state is fiction.

It is definitively proved that neither planning nor pure markets fucking work. You need to plan and or regulate the things that markets are known to fail on and let the market allocate the resources not needed to provide basic or societal needs. This isn’t rocket science or credibly in dispute. We know what in broad strokes actually works.

Socialism and communism aren’t really the same thing and entirely aside from what sham wig the USSR put on its corrupt kleptocracy it was a brutal dictatorship that murdered 10s of millions and created mass starvation. How can you have socialism/communism if you replace the market with decisions dictated by some asshole that you all didn’t pick and can’t remove if he fucks up. I don’t see how you can possibly have socialism or indeed ANY economic system without a functional democracy. I also don’t understand how you can look at the history of the USSR and call THAT clusterfuck success.

Would you like to talk about the inherent limitations of a planned economy vs a free market or the epic level of corruption that is evident to this day.

The USSR was famously corrupt and a massive failure on the overall besides. This is not the example you are looking for.

How do you keep the singular state bank from being captured and corrupted inside of 2 years?

How about just change the eyes so they occasionally randomly move. This is probably simple enough to implement as a media player plugin or browser addon that could be distributed with pirated games. Just imagine this starts happening at random. Bonus points if it spreads to your other devices.

I don’t think anyone imagines WW2 could have been averted if only we had placated Hitler harder why should ww3 be avoidable by placating Putin?

If anything this is ideal Russia is breaking their back on our weapons but retains a trivial route out without any declared conflict.

If we could have convinced them this would happen ahead of time we could have avoided conflict entirely. As it stands the biggest obstacles to eventual peace is the notion that if Vlad just waits it out Republicans may regain control and collaborate.

They never cared about personal freedom I’m the first place it was just an excuse not to do what other people wanted them to do.

Free open source software projects you don’t pay for don’t have paid support. If you talk to a fellow user it IS your job to figure out your problem. if you don’t have the will to understand anything you ought to buy a support contract.
