It's fine if you guys need to cover some of the leaves with your drawing, but apparently it won't be needed - your drawing is only touching mine, there's no intersection. Cool :)
Interconnect those baby steps, by having the governments
- coordinate and phase out deprecated/Microsoft/obsolete software in synchronised waves.
- share their solutions for problems that might pop up.
- collaborate with governments outside the EU doing the same shift.
That IMO would increase the odds of success. And once the first steps are done, further steps will be easier.
If the technical boundary collapsed, put a human-made boundary in its place. You have the right to have some peace of mind and quiet; make yourself unavailable for at least a good chunk of the day, and make sure your folks know you're unavailable. And why.
That's how I remain sane.
The arrangement of spikes originally had no distinct name. Cartoonist Gary Larson invented the name "thagomizer" in 1982 as a joke in his comic strip The Far Side, and it was gradually adopted as an informal term sometimes used within scientific circles, research, and education.
I love everything about this.
A game theory.
Not peki for sure; it's mostly a cerrado fruit. It does grow in nearby biomes but OP's plant is simply too far from that (Southeast Ecuador).
"Reverse evolution" is simply normal evolution: mutation, selection, inheritance, in some order. It doesn't "march" in one or another direction, that's simply how we interpret it.
And, if I'm parsing the paper right, the mutation itself wasn't even reverted. It's just that additional mutations made the relevant enzyme behave more like it used to. Like twisting a wire twice, you know?
I did use the first LMDE for some time, and I loved it, it's a great distro. I don't recall why I went for the Ubuntu-based Mint later on, I think it was the PPAs?
From what I remember*, there was always some rough corner. Such as the wi-fi, or the graphics card. Sure, Stable was rock solid, but you always needed something from Testing; and Testing in general was overall less stable than Ubuntu or Mint.
*This was years ago, so it might be inaccurate as of 2025.
Mint is Ubuntu minus everything that makes Ubuntu annoying. That's why I like it.
I considered to go back to Debian but... eh, I'm too old and impatient for that. Nowadays I mostly want things that work out of the box.
Pretty much - they're lying it would introduce huge production costs, because most people who'd repeat this argument wouldn't know they're being lied to.
Relevant detail: this potential removal of the driver does NOT affect normal CD-R / DVD-R functionality. It'll only prevent you from using them as if they were rewritable media.
