Yeah. I wish I could claim to be surprised about the lack of coverage, but… While I would still prefer Americans to be a little more, ah, French about how they protest, I’m still glad to hear people are hitting the streets as they bloody well should.

The repo servers going down or some unacceptable change to the system defaults. Starting to distribute my browser (or anything else) as only snaps / flatpaks would absolutely do it. Yeah, I’m looking squarely at you, Ubuntu.

That’d be nice, but until I see people in the streets I’m not ready to believe it.

It has - at the very least - veered off in an undesirably unproductive direction. This is clearly the result of a high-int, low-wis build.

Yeah, see: That’s the fucking problem you utter dimwit.

If you want a specific answer, you’re going to have to ask a specific question.

We already knew the US is fucked beyond repair. You don’t have to rub it in.

Okay, forget his bladder. Let’s talk about the effects on what pretends to be his brain.

Ah, he made the cardinal mistake of trying to do the stated job instead of what he was told. Did he mistakenly think that he wasn’t working for a bunch of neo-feudalistic fascists?

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this, but I’m not always on Lemmy. There’s always more code to be written - you know how it is, I’m sure.

Given the constraints you outline, one other avenue of attack could be to consider the time-sensitivity of product updates and the relative priority thereof. If it’s acceptable for updates to products to lag somewhat, you can at least perform them at a lower rate over longer time, thus reducing hardware load at any given time. If the periodic updates are make to the same per-product values, you could even potentially get smart and replace queued updates not yet performed, if they’re superseded by a subsequent change before they’re actually committed thus further reducing load.

I’m a happy i3 user, but that actually looks pretty enticing. Might give that a go the next time I’m trying something new.

Thanks for the tip! I wasn’t aware of nvtop, and I’m thoroughly pleased that’s no longer the case.

That’s a very good point.

Paying a premium for ridding yourself of institutional knowledge and existing experience, then paying again to fill the gap with ignorant novices, then paying yet again to train them to former levels of productivity while paying for the difference in the interrim: That’s government efficiency, baby!

I mean, why pay for one thing once, when paying for the thing you already had before you threw it out four times over is clearly four times as good - just like how a double standard is twice as good as a boring singular standard. As Big Balls from DOGE would no doubt say: “That’s math”.

I’d say ‘a set of individuals’. The distinction is admittedly subtle.

Personally, I much prefer individuals.

Some individuals, at least.

He should report all those pasty motherfuckers to ICE.

“Why would you go for that opening?! What’s wrong with you?”

What a swell idea, Vance! I’ve been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren’t worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!

Sure, I’ll just sell my car so I can buy a pair of fucking shoes.
