I’m not sure I understand. I’ve already been running ffmpeg from the command line and it’s been using multiple cores but default. What’s the difference, what’s the new behavior?

That sounds cool… Wish the article said what it does.

5, 3, 6 are all decent.

I cannot tell you how many towels the average person uses, or what the distribution is. Though it’s probably less than 4. What I can say is that it doesn’t hurt anybody, so if it feels good for you, just do it. That’s the nice thing about being an adult, you can do what you want.

I would note though that it’s probably much more important how often you change and wash your towels than how many you use.

Buy one that has enough space to open it up and put an apple airtag in there?

Lenovo/Thinkpad will certify certain models for use with Linux, other brands sell Linux laptops. Those are obviously good indicators that those models should be safe to choose. More generally, the more popular a model is, and the longer it’s been on the market the more likely they are to be compatible, just because they are in people’s hands and people tinker with them and add stuff to the Linux Kernel. So stay away from the latest model that is uncertified, and don’t choose the flashy, overpriced model that will see poor sales.

Love the Airplane Mode bit

You might be able to find a discounted ThinkPad X12 detachable with an i5. It does not officially support Linux, but most features work, except for the volume rocker. It’s become my daily driver – really won me over. The keyboard is great btw.

I have very vague recollection of it being relevant…

I thought the scripture was quite clear with that whole “Thou shalt not kill” part…

Stable as in rarely crashes, or stable as in rarely changes over the years?

The LTS versions of Ubuntu are stable in the second sense, they get ten years of support but you’re stuck with old versions or (stable) programs in exchange. I also have not seen any of them experience a fatal crash, too. So stability isn’t the issue, its more about what you want to do and compatible with most recent versions of software.

If you only find that mildly infuriating, them you’re a more mild manner person than I am.

I remember the first mission of hotline Miami. You take the phone call and learn that you are supposed to kill some people. You learn how to use your guns. You kill a bunch of baddies, quite badass. Then at the end of the mission, the screen starts swaying more than usually, and the protagonist vomits in an alley. Of course, he just killed for the first time, overwhelming. Makes him quite human, more than many other protagonists, despite the pixel art style.

I would lettuce + cucumber, too. Begrudgingly, but I would accept it.

I don’t think I have stopped struggling with it. But removing some distractions has definitely worked. Windows was a big one. So many popups and bullshit. Stopped using social media entirely for some time. Just blocked the websites and the apps. Stopped using YouTube. Always made sure to leave the house and go to a library or cafe in the morning where there are less distractions. It works well.

Similar experience here. NVidia is pretending to become more open but their software engineers really cannot handle their hardware. I finally bought a non-NVidia device which happened to become my daily driver. As soon as I go back to ML, my plan is to buy a powerful desktop computer and install stable a stable version of cuda etc there, and then execute everything via ssh from my laptop. Might even use my Linode to forward the port so I can work remotely from anywhere.

I’m more surprised about Kaliningrad, what route would that even be?!

Let’s admit it, it’s a pity celebration. I think the only thing that’s special about it is that Linux has never crossed the 3% threshold before, whereas 2% was an on and off thing? Disclaimer, I did not do my research and I’m relying on very vague memories of those numbers.
