Not everywhere, it seems. I watched an episode a few days ago. So I guess the challenge is region-specific.

America, United States of (also known as the AUS).

He didn’t say “new series” so we’ll be rewatching DS9. Now. Yes, including Move Along Home.

That plus the Chinese economy isn’t as strong as a few years ago so the appetite for expensive cars is dampened. Of course that’s what our manufacturers have bet on because why make an affordable ultracompact if you can just shit yet another SUV onto the market and find a buyer?

Travel back in time and make our economy less export-oriented. The one-two punch of China losing interest in German cars and Trump getting elected and intending to impose harsh tariffs ('cause that worked out so well last time) is definitely hurting business. The export-oriented economy worked out really well so far but right now there’s no sufficiently wealthy market to pivot to so a downturn is very likely.

This goes beyond cars and car-related companies. Hidden champions also tend to make a lot of money from exports although they’re also exactly the reason why those tariffs are going to hurt the USA. A bad export situation in both the USA and China is going to be painful for a lot of companies.

It’s not all doom and gloom but we’re definitely going to have a few lean years in the near future.

Other people might also bring up our long-time energy dependency on Russia but I think that’s only a relatively minor contributing factor.

These days Microsoft are a major contributor to the Linux kernel, though. Sure, they’re trying to hold onto the desktop but on the server they’ve pretty much switched camps.

I’d be more peeved by them gimping the taskbar. I tend to put mine on the side of the screen with the icon size turned down to minimum in Win 10.

Is your meme about oil rig explosions related to reposts you’re making this weekend?

○︎ No, it’s not related to weekend reposts
◉︎ I’ll repost this both on weekend and weekday
○︎ Yes, both for this and future weekends
○︎ Yes, I’ll repost this on every future weekeend
○︎ Yes, I’ll repost this purely on this weekend

Nah, I’m thinking of sodium-ion batteries. That’s 1990s tech and is currently in use for grid storage. Several manufacturers are currently bringing car-ready Na-ion batteries to market and there seems to be one production car using them in China (a version of the JMEV EV3, which I hav enever heard about before).

Now, Na-ion is still less mature than Li-ion and that Chinese car gets about 17% less range compared do the Li-ion version.

Probably about five seconds after the first PSR of the battle.

Probably intended to run on a pair of CR2032s or something. With an uptime of two days idle.

Remember that a nonlethal takedown is always the most silent takedown.

They’re currently bringing sodium batteries to market (as in “the first vendor is selling them right now”). They’re bulky but fairly robust IIRC and they don’t need lithium.

Ah, so they actually got that implemented. Nice.

Garuda for me. The reasons are similar; just replace some optimization with some convenience. It’s a bit garish by default but pleasant to use.

Flatpak has its benefits, but there are tradeoffs as well. I think it makes a lot of sense for proprietary software.

For everything else I do prefer native packages since they have fewer issues with interop. The space efficiency isn’t even that important to me; even if space issues should arise, those are relatively easy to work around. But if your password manager can’t talk to your browser because the security model has no solution for safe arbitrary IPC, you’re SOL.

There’s less than thirty of these in the wild so seeing one end up as bycatch is a sobering reminder of the consequences of overfishing. If we don’t start taking ocean preservation seriously we might at some point find that not just the Virginia-class but all nuclear-powered cruise missile fast attack submarines have gone extinct.

And you can’t even safely eat them; they’re full of heavy metals like uranium.

Or Garuda. Sure, the theme it applies to KDE by default is pretty garish but nothing keeps you from just going to System Settings and seeing a different theme. Other than that it’s basically just Arch with a bunch of stuff preinstalled and some convenience scripts.
