    While I run straight Fedora on some of my systems now, I do agree the Atomic versions are a boon for stability.

    Used to use Ubuntu and Mint for desktops, but they are a bit too vintage with the kernel and package versions, and everything is moving very fast with Wayland replacing X11 and lots of kernel driver improvements for modern hardware (especially AMD hardware), so being on Fedora is the next best thing to the bleedingest edge Arch when it comes to uptodateness.



  • AI auto detection is a coin toss at best - and it often hurts real artists/writers when they’re false positive’d, which is far too often.

    People didn’t magically forget how to proofread or use Photoshop (or similar tools) when AI generation became popular - the good fakes are just better now. Small “tells” can be fixed in post by anyone that has previously done “photoshopping” work… the kind of people who have already been doing such things before AI generation. AI generation just makes it easier and faster if you know how to use inpainting or img to img.





  • No stake here, just observation.

    A man that murders another man, and is found guilty by proof of evidence in court, deserves the judgement administered.

    However, the way they’ve been parading around this man, especially with that “perp walk” stunt, and demanding judgement before trial has even started, they are now turning him into a martyr, which the populace who feel slighted in the same way as he was will side with him instead of the rule of law, especially since current events have significantly eroded the value and authority of law.

    Had they been impartial and just about this, handling this murder case like any other, maybe the media attention wouldn’t have gotten to this point. But the need to “rub it in” seems to be too tempting to resist, and now we are here.






  • Stuff I’ve heard on naysays:

    “The battery will blow up!!!”

    No, it won’t if it’s a solid state battery - solid state batteries barely even notice such a charging rate, their temperature might change by half a degree from this monster charging rate.

    “You can’t supply the power because lines”

    Modern large commercial buildings already suck down this amount and more.

    “The grid overall can’t take 1MW”

    So, the 1,000 MW nuclear reactor can’t provide 1MW? How about a reactor station with 4 units cranking 4000 MW? How about we add another 1000 in renewables? How about another 800MW with a single gas turbine? How about adding roof solar and a battery bank below ground for the charging station to supplement the power? We haven’t even touched hydro or geo yet. Making power is not a problem, and we’ll build out the power as we need it.









  • Stupid is as stupid does. A significant portion of trucking accidents involve the truck driver missing a cue because they were mid gear change.

    While it is good to have a person learn to drive stick, it is really hard to get people to learn how to drive if they have zero interest in actually learning how to be a driver, no matter what transmission.

    I personally like dual clutch transmissions and daily’ed a car to 175k miles with one, yet I went out of my way to find a manual version of my current car.
