It's an interesting phenomenon; at its core is the "correct" idea that gas stoves aren't the most efficient and lead to indoor pollution but it is such a negligible problem that the effort put into legislation against it seems like a giant waste of time an resources.

I feel like most people are in the camp of, "Who cares? Is this really something we're worried about?" At least I am in that camp but there's also likely a term for ignoring the small problems because of the big problems.

McNamara basically admits this himself in the documentary The Fog of War:

It's worth a watch but it's very soft on him and his role. Still a very good documentary.

Freaks me out this article says over and over [...] large enough for a person to enter.

I'm not going in there. That's scary.

I've had 0 problems *but I am working on very new hardware that the manufacturer already claims support for Win11.

I dislike the interface changes but I haven't liked changes since Windows 7 so I'm just in grumpy old man territory it seems.

What is the hardware configuration you're experiencing these problems on?

Monkey Island on the MT-32 is amazing. I believe it was composed on that device but it's such an awesome sound.

Thank you new account praising TikTok and saying HN is a waste of time and proving my point.

I didn't ask "what's there to hate" but rather almost NO posts on HN get critical praise for an invasive social media app.

Wow.

The endless praise for TikTok here is very confusing. I don't think it's in bad faith the account age of the commenters all seem normal and the like.

I don't have any strong hatred of TikTok myself but usually HN are a privacy concerned skeptical bunch and this is very weird.

I'm sure this is already known but no one else has mentioned it, you don't boot into recovery mode anymore with Command+R.

New M1 mini you just hold down the power button.

I know that's not people's issue here but just thought it should be said for anyone new to the new mini.

Think you're likely correct I'm not directly in the market for a purpose built Linux machine yet I know the name System76. This closure notice is the first time I've heard of ZaReason.
