Don't put all your eggs in one basket again, that's what makes degoogling such a difficult thing. There's several proton services I intentionally avoid and use alternatives for so I don't have to uproot my entire digital life to leave them if they start being shitty. If you go from using all google services to all proton you're setting yourself up to need the same sort of big migration down the road. 15 years ago google was also an awesome company that just kept making incredibly useful things for users just because they could and look at them now.

Does that matter prop wise? I'd say I have above average knowledge of star wars lore and I have absolutely no idea how to visually tell the difference between say the old republic era and the most recent trilogy. The only thing I can think of that reliably identifies a time period in star wars in terms of visual design is storm trooper helmets.

Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something?

After the new trilogy, several tv shows, and the star wars theme parks at disneyland and disney world all in the last several years? Yeah i do. They're not starting from scratch on this show. They have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on.

Neither. I just forget things, like a cool person

Well, yeah its just crazy how modern the outfit looks. If you passed a guy on the street wearing this exact thing you wouldn't even look twice

The top picture looks so anachronistic. He looks like he's wearing a hoodie under a pea coat.

Yeah man, that's the point of the article. Its asking the question "should everyone who isnt using them already move to them". Its not saying everyone already does.

They do. Its much more than a built in vpn, they also have specialized, hardened versions of communications apps on them. The weakest link in cybersecurity is usually the end user.

I had to switch back to an x11 session because a lot of stuff is broken in Wayland for me. I was having a lot of flickering in slack and odd mouse issues in games.

A big part of why the tesla plug was chosen as the north american standard plug is the lack of infrastructure upgrades needed. Apparently it uses exactly 1 phase of a commercial electric line so it needs far less infrastructure to add charging if there is commercial electric already. For example they'd be able to install just an outlet on every streetlight.

I have read he takes the training pretty seriously and isn't bad. Not a pro by any measure, but a competent amateur.

Would anyone buy them if they couldn't install EVERYTHING? Or delete or change system-stuff/-apps?

Allow me to introduce you to mac

Also forced to use windows for work. That wasn't the windows terminal program being slow, that was git bash.

How long ago did you try it? I gave the first iteration of wsl a chance and had the same experience, it was super slow especially for things like ls. Its a lot better since wsl2. Probably 90% or more the performance of bare metal install of linux

A semester of programming is more than you need. The hardest part would be installing the OS on the raspberry pi. https://pi-hole.net/

At least 50% of NY's population lives within 50 miles of NYC and I wouldn't be surprised to find out its closer to 65% or 70%. Of course it gets the most attention. I get why people living outside that area would be upset but they cant be surprised.

You see the same thing in every state with a large metro area. There's always griping from western and central MA but the fact is 75% of the population lives in the Boston metro area.

When I see people say stuff like "rc cola is almost indistinguishable from coke" it blows my mind. Do you actually mean you can't taste the difference? Or that you don't think the difference is worth the extra money?

I hear this a lot since we converted to heat pumps. People don't realize basically every heat source these days other than wood needs electricity. We kept our oil system as a backup for very cold days but it also doesn't work with no power.

ITT On this platform are many middle aged nerds

Its like how red cars get more speeding tickets.
