I imagine that there are hundreds of us with very similar stories! I absolutely banjaxed our Windows partition after installing Mandrake or Suse or something on more than one occasion. I learned a lot about Linux, but probably more about the importance of backups haha.

This is an incredibly silly thing to say. If someone makes a knife that is terrible at carving wood or cutting food but is the perfect shape for, say, clitorectomies... then maybe that tool is bad and we should probably stop making it.

Yes, people choose to make it and people choose to use it. But, like... stop those people, right?

I never listened to the podcast, but I see where you're coming from and thanks for doing it anyway.

Twenty years ago I was in university and had a Debian install on a cheap-ass Acer laptop and I managed to get exactly two and a half games working under Wine: the first two Fallouts and about three hours of Civ IV before crash. Getting games to run at all was A THING so a podcast for that makes a lot of sense.

Today I have a full-time job and deleted the Windows partition from my expensive PC about three years ago... pretty much every game I've ever wanted to play since then has just WORKED. Better than on modern Windows, even. Not a lot to talk about there, I guess.

One thing I wish is that Valve could publish a 'Proton spec' that people could build against to ensure compatibility, but I imagine that that this would be an IP nightmare.

CachyOS is not an immutable distro.

In the terminology of the article - which I enjoyed and recommend that you read when you get time - these friends of yours are not 'poor', they are 'broke'.

> This is, currently, mostly regulatory. Yes, in the absence of any regulations at all it would still take time to plan, build, and commission

Choose one.

In fact, don't. Just build a new power plant and plug it into the grid. Go on, I could do with a laugh.

Absolute bullshit title. The USA has stopped making one-cent coins, and they don't even call them pennies in any meaningful way.

The "last-ever" penny will not be minted until that final coin has been minted by:

The United Kingdom

Gibraltar

Man

St Helena & Ascension Island

Guernsey

The Falklands

and probably a good few of others I've forgotten. Like Jersey.

Now assume there were no such regulations and factor in the time it takes to actually plan, build, and commission a new power station and associated grid infrastructure. I'm not sure that your distinction matters in any real way.

Name one.

There is something about an argument made almost entirely out of metaphors that amuses me to the point of not being able to take it seriously, even if I actually agree with it.

This, as a few other commenters have mentioned, is a terrible article.

For a start, the article does not mention any other database. I don't know how you can say something is read or write heavy without comparing it to something else. It doesn't even compare different queries on the same database. Like, they just wrote a query and it does a lot of reads - so what? There's nothing here. Am I going mad? Why does this article exist?

Not directly related to this new Atuin feature, but I need to vent:

Last week I was trying to `find` something in some directories, failed, `cd`d to my home directory and instinctively hit up-arrow+return to run the search again. At some time prior to this, Atuin had stopped recording new entries without my notice. Want to guess the last entry that Atuin did record?

Go on. Guess.

Yep.

`rm -rf *`

In my home directory.

Luckily I have backups of everything important and didn't actually lose anything, and I'm mainly posting this here as a funny anecdote. But - still - after getting myself set up again I have yet to reinstall Atuin.

If you think the Dutch are Nords, then I would ask you to learn more English.

More awkward for Sony, maybe, as this is showing more support for PSVR2 than they have in a while.

> What do you mean by Cooler? Raspberry pi doesn't need a fan.

From the official website:

> Does Raspberry Pi 5 need active cooling?

> Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis, and like most general-purpose computers, it will perform best with active cooling.
