So they're YouTube, but with no video controls. Awesome.

I'm not interested in my computer striking a balance between my needs and the needs of people seeking to manipulate me into buying things.

I paid for my computer, it serves my needs. Yes I do run Linux, how did you guess?

It's just another attempt to slow down renewables by taking up all the funding doing something else. It doesn't need to be useful or practical, so long as it drains the carbon reduction budget.

at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones

Blasphemy!

4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

Born too late to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born too early to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born just in time to watch the collapse of the Russian empire.

Nobody went and flipped the breaker for the jacuzzi? People like that obviously need practice dealing with inconveniences.

Mint 22 would be straightforward, at least: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade-to-mint-22.html

Mint 21.3 might be a bit too 'stable' for your new GPU.

Linux graphics move fast. You generally won't have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you're looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There's a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It's fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

Russia's actual nuclear policy has been "fire nukes if Putin says so" for decades. This paperwork doesn't represent a real change.

Without property investors in the market, there won’t be enough stock of rental properties

People seem to have this weird idea that those houses will just be set on fire or something, instead of being bought at lower prices by people who want to live in them.

No, it's the opposite - they're saying that this isn't a change in Russia's behaviour.

IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can't really track individual devices inside my network.

IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.

IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.

My complaint is that with Youtube Premium I'd still have videos full of ads and trash like Youtube Shorts unless I run ublock origin and sponsorblock, and if I'm running those Premium doesn't actually add any value.

Meanwhile, ublock origin continues to be free.

It's not just the drivetrain - if you're in cold areas that salt the roads you can lose the suspension or frame to rust damage.
