I said proof enough because sure enough the comment chains wind up like this, including your reply. Some people, as if on cue, deterministically say yes, some no, and a few like yours saying that it's all a waste of time. Which you're proving again that this sure is yet we're deterministic slaves to it. Cue 'no we're not because...', as if it's proving otherwise.

That's an awfully deterministic answer. The kind of answer that always tends to come up with these free will questions which is proof enough to doubt it.

I too feel that fully justified text can be fully justified. I used to use it back when blogs were a thing.

EOSupdate is basically just a yay and pacman script, as I understand it.

>The data seem haphazardly distributed, and yet neighboring lines repel one another, lending a degree of regularity to their spacing

Wow, that kind of reminds me of the process of evolution in that it seems so random and chaotic at the most microscopic scales but at the macroscopic, you have what seems some semblance of order. The related graph also sprung to mind just how very like organisms repel (less tolerance to inbreeding) but at the same time species breed with like species and only sometimes stray from that directive. What is the pattern that underlies how organisms determine production or conflict with other organisms and can we find universality in it?

I guess it's called "universality" for a reason. I suppose if we look hard enough, we'll see it in more things. I read the article and I'm hoping some brilliant minds out there can dissect musical tastes in the same way. I'd love to see if it could relate to what we find harmonious in music and what we find desynchronous via different phase, frequency and amplitude properties.

There are SATA SSD enclosures for M.2 drives. Those are cheap enough now that granny can still upgrade her old PC on the cheap.

Do you mean something like nmap's network topolgy view? https://nmap.org/book/zenmap-topology.html

Just for visualizing network topology on Linux, there's a lot of tools.

I'm not very proficient nor really need office apps in my day to day use but I've heard good things about OnlyOffice should LibreOffice not meet your needs.

So does KDE's Dolphin and many others on Linux. Linux had tabs on file explorers well before Explorer did as well as virtual desktops, app stores, and a few other things that Windows didn't have but later implemented.

I'm not sure about SSR currently but Kooha and KDE's own Spectacle work on Wayland fine. I'm running Plasma 6.5 on Arch and very pleased with it.

>Linux's moto "freedom of choice" falls apart >Using the workaround for X it run faster and stable

I think your post proves opposite.

>Still far, far too complex to occur "randomly," which is fascinating

I don't see the word "random" anywhere in the article. By random maybe you mean it's seemingly indeterministic? Regardless of the nature of the underlying process, at the classical level, the environment acts as a deterministic filter, ie, other chemical processes.

For those of us who don't have many options other than satellite internet, it generally uses CG-NAT, specifically Starlink.
