For ~97% of the computer using population it is a hot new tech.
Compared to the state of consumer-grade Linux 5 years ago to today, it’s absolutely a hot new tech.
One cannot understate the impact that the Steam Deck and Proton had on driving consumer-friendly features to Linux simply from the demand of an exploding user base.
There was an experiment a couple years ago I remember reading about concluding that of all the jobs that ““AI”” could replace, C-suites were the one category where the computer outperformed humans in a statistically-significant amount
But, like, Palestinians are by definition also semites, so it’s now antisemitism to criticize semites committing antisemitisim…
It’s more “whose patents will they inadventently end up using?”
Banking/financial apps are the biggest sticking point that I keep hearing about. They won’t run on a non-Google Android, let alone an AOSP container in Linux.
If I’m having a bad tinnitus day I put on a set of headphones and use a pink/brown noise generator, some will sweep between the two or other colours as well. An hour or so of that will usually soothe it out for a good while.
It’s the level of hoops an ADHD person needs to jump through to get any treatment, let alone adequate treatment. Forms, calling for appointments, more forms, tracking stuff, nagging your doctor to full prescriptions, and so on. Every step of which is another wall to climb for an ADHD person.
Everything about the process to get both diagnosed and treated involves tasks that are not compatible with the ADHD brain.
I was going to suggest Gooney Toons, but that would be Warner Bros :p
The gearbox only exists because the engine can only go so fast.
Oversimplified. The transmission exists because engines are optimally efficient at specific RPM ranges and the transmission works to keep the engine in those ranges. It/you (auto vs stick) will also downshift to provide more power at the cost of efficiency if hard acceleration is required.
When doing 130 you can essentially only see your own lane well, with rudimentary details in the other adjacent lanes
If you can’t see adjacent lanes, then you’re not scanning properly. This is called tunnel vision and where I live you’ll fail a road test for it. You’d also fail for going 130km/h.

A couple bombs can take out a gigawatt+ generation plant. A couple dozen acres of solar panels will need much, much more, with each individual strike having far less impact and being far easier to repair after. On top of that, solar can be widely distributed and embedded in much smaller footprints, into civilian areas, and so on. Solar also has less infrastructure requirements such as access to water where destroying a dam for example can render one or more power plats inoperable.

Krusty Gnome? :D
Google’s AI “summaries” are complete garbage. They mash together unrelated sources and hallucinate connections between them to the point where literally nothing it shits out is in any way reliable.
The US has virtually no “emergency brake” option in government. In a Westminster-style system not being able to pass a budget immediately triggers an election, while government remains funded based on the previous budget.
The ring doesn’t as much make you invisible as it transports you into the shadow realm. Sauron, however existed in both the real world and the shadow realm, so there was no transporting needing to happen there.
No ads during play would be even better. Puck’s about to drop? Cut back to the game. I would even accept that a short ad runs in between plays as long as it immediately cuts back when play is about to start again.
Also, reduce the play timer to say 15s for all but the first down or switching out to kick.
I’m using KRdp for the first time in several years today and am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the connection. It is in virtually every regard as good as Windows’ RDP.
