It can always get worse. Have you not seen history?

Nobody said that. But now we get Israel with more of a free pass (yes, it can get worse) and “Dr. Oz” running Medicare.

Awesome right? Hope Democrats learned a lesson at least! Or something…

As much as we’re delighted to present you this new version, we are also sad to announce that our friend and prolific FreeCAD developer bgbsww has passed away a few weeks before this release came out. He was one of the main architects of the topological naming fixing effort, wrote a lot of additional code and tests, and became FreeCAD’s TNP specialist. He also helped virtually all other developers out to adapt to the new algorithm. This release is dedicated to him.

😥

Install is the easy part. Nobody ever thinks about maintenance.

And that’s how you’ll be justifying it for the next 4 years. Awesome job. I sure hope Kamala learned her lesson.

Leftists: How could it get any worse?

Trump: Hold my beer.

I had the same thought - an entire 8U rack to hold a single raspberry pi with an external drive?

You’re making excuses for burning coal. I’m saying they shouldn’t be burning it at all.

Why the hell did they ban nuclear before coal anyway? That was just stupid.

Which is why it was stupid to start shutting them down! 🤣

Baseload is still needed now. End of.

Baseload is an antiquated concept that doesn’t work with lots of renewables. Battery storage may be not completely feasible yet, but look at California to see that it has the potential to be ready faster than we can build new npps.

“Baseload” is still needed. Renewables are great but they are simply not there yet. There is a world between “potential” and “available”.

Actually coal consumption is down to the level of the 1960s.

Yes, it’s down since the 1960s. If this is your level of understanding I don’t expect this to go well… 🙄

It shot up between 2020 and 2023 (4th chart here): https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-consumption-and-power-mix-charts

Yes other things were happening, yes other values are moving up (renewables - yay!). But with no nuclear to fall back on Coal plants had to fire up to bear the burden of pressure on other fuels.

Nuclear is clean. Coal is certainly not clean.

I never said that. But there are ways we have to do neither. Why not concentrate on those, especially since they are magnitudes cheaper.

FSS I hate discussions with people… You can do more than one thing. You could have concentrated on both nuclear AND renewables and stopped burning COAL - but no, instead Germany had a fucking uptick in coal power while dropping the much cleaner nuclear.

This was so foreseeable it hurts. Renewables simply aren’t up to the task of baseload generation yet in the way that nuclear is.

It was a stupid idea no matter who conceived of or implemented it. Nuclear is the only viable clean baseload power generation option we have. Solar and wind can’t do it, coal and oil are filthy, battery storage is nowhere near where it needs to be yet.

Pop 22.04 with Nvidia 3070 and it “just worked”.

You haven’t described in what way it is not working for you.

But at least Democrats were taught a lesson right libs? Right??

… Right?

Another key for me to pop off my keyboard. Great.

We’re getting well away from the topic now. It depends on what you mean by “replace”. Railways and canals exist side-by-side as different solutions to similar problems - sure. And some railways have replaced some canals. But the panama canal will not be replaced by a railroad for example. It couldn’t do the same job. The pros/cons of each option depends on many factors.

The analogy is poor for comparing software. Linux distros will likely replace X11 with Wayland over time. To do the same thing that X11 was doing. It will be replaced “in place”. The very same thing you were using with X11 will now need to work on Wayland. This would be like running your barges on the railroad? Maybe? Depending on how you squint?

I wouldn’t expect my barge to work on the railroad. I do expect that Firefox will run on Wayland after having used it on X11 for 20 years.

the “year of the Linux computer” will never happen.

It won’t, that’s fine. People who don’t want to lean anything about computers use iOS and Android now. And that’s fine. I never want Linux distros to become like that.
