Is that 780k only to Zorin, or to all of Linux?

I swear I bought some RAM just at the start of October for reasonable prices. Did it change so quickly?

I think it's called visual snow, and it's normal.

I guarantee you they will solve it by lobbying to get rid of HIPA

VR has been happening for like the last 10 years though?

A few days ago I had to help somebody set up Word on their freshly installed PC. It only had Edge on it, so I used it to go to the site for managing Word. The site then said that the browser I was using was outdated, and I should try again with Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. I don't think MS has too much faith in Edge.

Be quiet, the grown-ups are talking.

Humanity really can't progress anywhere with capitalism running so rampant. Every corpo needs to go, or it will be like trying to sail against the wind.

Every goddamn day there's some new BS showing up.

Are there dumb robot vacuums? I don't want to buy a little spy robot that maps my apartment layout to sell to advertisers or whatever.

The server should not be responsible for the food they bring to the customer or for what the chef cooks.

 

The question applies to any city with lots of really tall, big buildings, really. I figure that all those tall buildings would get in the way of the wind, like they make some kind of artificial lee. I've never been in a big city like that.

 

I'm not proposing this as an actual solution, it's just a dumb idea. But if we dug a huge, wide hole at the bottom of the ocean, or maybe widened the Mariana Trench or something, could that extra space make the sea levels drop enough to keep the land from flooding?

 

Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?

 

I was reminiscing about my first interaction with an American customer I had when I had just started working (I don't live in America, she was a tourist or something.) I worked in retail, and was taking care of a long line of customers. This American lady was at the end of the line. When she gets to me she asks to see my boss, so I head back and tell my boss a customer wants to talk to him, while I turn to some other work in the back of the store. A few minutes later my boss comes back and says the lady was upset with me and my behaviour, because I had not greeted her as she entered the store (because I was busy helping another customer.) The situation has perplexed me ever since, do all American stores employ greeters? I'm aware of the concept, how big stores like Walmart employ people to stand at the front door and greet people. But is it like that for every store in America?

 

If somebody wants to use my online content to train their AI without my consent I want to at least make it difficult for them. Can I somehow "poison" the comments and images and stuff I upload to harm the training process?
