don’t remember. At least a few months. I think I had even forgotten about it when I sent it in.

I had that as well. I folded a piece of paper and stuck it under the power button. Worked well until I had to RMA due to another issue. Then they fixed it properly.

Overkill.

I used to run a router on a 386 from a floppy disk.

So you don’t have a cent equivalent? You use fractions when you want to pay less than 1 dinar?

Sometimes they still look at a petition even if it didn’t reach the threshold. At least that has been the case for German petitions.

In the end they still get ignored, whether they reached the threshold or not.

Yeah, this meme is bullshit but gets still posted every other month or so. Windows can also just kill a process, similar to sigkill.

Ew, brain images!

We’ve known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.

I think the expectation is that only combatants are killed.

What are you on about? You wanted to know what could go wrong during package install. I listed possibilities. You can’t just dismiss them as exceptional when the whole point of the snapshots is to guard against exceptional failures.

Why would you expect the general case to go wrong? Of course an error is the exception. Cars don’t have seatbelts and airbags for general driving operation. They are there for the exceptional case something goes wrong. Most people will never need them in theie life.

It. Is. Still. To. Early. To. Jump. To. Aliens.

“Yes, do as I say”

A power outage during install.

Trying out experimental stuff.

Uninstalling critical packages.

Someone at $distribution fucked up packaging.

You could just as well ask why an immutable system must be immutable. The safeguards are not there for normal operation. They are supposed to help you with fatal irregularities.

But there is also the culture of freedom to wear what everyone wants. Why should I suffer uncomfortable clothes because someone might be offended? “Inappropriate” clothes are not something that physically hurt someone.

Tank tops are normal summer wear. This issue seems to greatly depend on culture.

Am I the only one who thinks that the professor’s comment is inappropriate?

We can, when you forget to upload the picture.

In that case maybe talk to her about having an open relationship. Should make it easier for all.

Or make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.

I’ll just wait for the PBS Space Time video to tell me it’s not aliens.
