Why? Is he suddenly running scared and realizing just how badly he has crippled the US military and national security, not to mention any hope of counting on our allies to back us up when the threats start coming?

Then again, Trump is gullible enough to actually believe other countries were disarming and would shut down our entire program without a hint of assurances. And then he'd have to tell his MAGAts to be shocked when a few of our cities got nuked because how could anyone have predicted this could happen.

What, you mean just because Trump is Putin's lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?

Yeah you're probably right. Reality is a foreign concept to these people.

Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

Man what are the odds??? I just finished the last episode today too! I've been dragging along on this last season because, ya know, last season and all, but it did certainly end with quite a bang.

Haha yeah storage capacity just keeps going up fast. Now that you mention it, I do recall the performance on these drives was supposed to be just absolute crap, but it was a massive innovation before chip storage came out. And some day the next big thing will be released and we'll wonder how we put up with SSD drives.

Yeah I've seen some bits about that, they were looking into how Musk was interfering with the Ukraine war I think?

I have one of the original IBM Microdrives, the 340MB version, sitting here on my desk. Hmm I wonder if I can find anything with a PCMCIA slot to test if this still works?

Let me simplify it for you... Musk has been targeting agencies that stood in the way of SpaceX. Did you hear he started targeting OSHA this week because of the spotlight on Musk's intentional dismissal of safety regulations? Or that he is also targeting the consumer protection agency? Everything that protects regular citizens is being shut down as "wasteful", and his only criteria is anything that costs him money or prevents him from exploiting workers.

Oh I don't think my computer could handle that! I usually have to restart firefox anyway whenever I do a clean-up and close a few hundred tabs.

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Damn that's a LOT of memory for those processes. And wow, 9G for only 56 tabs? I currently have around 2600 tabs open (yeah I know, time to do some clean-up), I always assumed that was the reason why my firefox was using so much memory.

I've heard some aspects of gaming are supported really well (I think things like Steam?), but other aspects just don't have any backing because the developers only focus on Windows. I would think anyone who supports both Windows and Mac would also be able to port to Linux, but then I look at Microsoft who specifically avoids any support for linux or the software they do support just really sucks (looking at you, Teams).

If games are your main focus then Linux may not be for you. If productivity is your focus, then try imagining not being plagued by viruses or having to reboot every five minutes because of a system update. As with anything, different tools are best for different tasks.
