Side note: My education doesn’t seem nearly as enlightened as yours. A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn covers the darker side of Columbus’s expeditions in great detail and its eye opening. I knew there was whitewashing of Columbus but wasn’t prepared for the amount/severity.

Fun fact: this book is also published by Harper Collins.

Sounds like maybe Trump has dementia.

Shorting the hell out of this one.

My bet is that their valuation is going to be ridiculous and the price will drop like a rock for at least 6 months to a year

He’s told his followers that “cash is trash” and that he doesn’t trust the U.S. dollar, calling it “fake.” Instead, he’s recommended investing in assets like precious metals, bitcoin or Wagyu cattle

Hah

Maybe he's just doing research for his hit sequel: "Rich dad, 1 billion dollar in debt dad"

Hopefully the front (I mean rudder) doesn’t fall off

The new / rewritten arch install is fantastic. The btrfs layout, with encryption, really nice experience and end result.

Holy shit, .15 euros per page? Why not just run to der Kinkos? I haven’t checked but I imagine it’s cheaper there. I get the convenience of having a printer at home but this is like if every cup of coffee you make at home cost you the Starbucks $8.25.

There used to be an issue with IPV6 being enabled causing steam downloads to be very slow on Linux. I remember people saying that disabling IPV6 resolved the issue.

It's the same, I picked up an Orange Pi 5 plus on sale and didn't even think about the kernel and module driver situation. It's rough. Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip and the other contributors do great work to un-fuck the situation and get a non-screwy ubuntu install cobbled together, but in the comments for issues even he gives off a "well, the situation is shit" sort of vibe.

I won't buy another rockchip sbc.

Yeah, I have trouble imagining this working in the US, even if Musk hadn't spent a year flushing his cash and credibility down the drain.

FWIW his white whale or inspiration is more like the Chinese “we do everything” apps / platforms https://wise.com/us/blog/chinese-payment-app
