The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the “climate change is of all times, it’s not caused by us” talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is “yes, we caused it but it’s not a big deal”.
That’s correct. It’s not just limited to computers or only two devices though.
I disagree that it is bad design. It’s cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.
If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.
And if you plan on trying different distributions, use Ventoy. It will create a bootable USB memory stick that you can copy your various ISO files to. When booting from it, you can then select which ISO to boot. Saves you from overwriting the same memory stick time and time again. Or having multiple memory sticks, one for each ISO.
Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That’s much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.
I don’t want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.
The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

Use vimtutor. It comes with vim and teaches you to the basic vim commands from within vim.
And don’t worry about exiting vim, that’s lesson 1.2 :)
Thanks for the clarification.
The last sentence of the article however, shows why that’s not much of a consolation:
In other words, it is activist hedge funds and modern executive compensation practices — not corporate law — that drive so many of today’s public companies to myopically focus on short-term earnings; cut back on investment and innovation; mistreat their employees, customers and communities; and indulge in reckless, irresponsible and environmentally destructive behaviors.
As for booting from USB stick: use Ventoy for that. It allows you to copy any number iso files to the USB stick and boot from any iso file that’s on it. No need to go through the hassle of writing an iso to memory stick over and over again.
If nothing else, the smiley can be taken as a hint that it’s not serious.
Eventually people will have to get new hardware. That’s the moment to avoid nVidia, that’s how simple this can be.
Also, the problem is nVidia giving shitty Wayland support, not Wayland providing no nVidia support. It’s nVidia who has to write the drivers since they themselves opted to keep their implementation details a secret. There’s nothing the Wayland people can do except plea, beg and shame. If nVidia then decide not to care, then I say fuck them.
