Gallium OS is great, I even donated because it's provided so much value. Been running it for years on my old Acer Chromebook after Google EoL'd it.

Don't confuse Docker with K8s. Docker is more for solving dependency management problems than scaling and redundancy which are the problems k8s solves. I highly recommend some sort dependency management solution like Docker or Nix - it

It's because the bills in question don't actually explicitly restrict people of color from voting, they just make voting a little less convenient (i.e. a bill that you have to show a photo id to vote, for example, and a person of

Corporations kowtow to the demands of Twitter mobs all the time, why should Google be an exception?

The following opinions will be labelled as heresy by the left (note there are plenty of heresies labeled by the right as well): - Transgenderism is a mental illness - Trans women shouldn't be allowed to compete athletically with cis wo

Maybe what OP was getting at is more like a "transgenderism is a mental illness" type of heretical statement

They aren't making this change for fun, they are making it to comply with UK law. So if anything, blame governments for forcing nanny laws on everyone, but don't blame raspberry pi

This has happened twice to my dad. The first time was in 1994 when he applied for an Air Force position in Italy. The role required a max 3 out of 3 score on the DoD Italian proficiency test and some other niche requirements, all of which m

All I want Plex to do is serve some MP4 files from a raspberry pi. I had it working at one point with some hidden setting. But now it keeps trying to transcode and such. And it'll randomly just stop working and I have to reboot the pi.

Some reserve units in the US are highly technical too. I did a cyber education course at AFIT when I was in Air Force ROTC and there was a particular reserve unit somewhere in Maryland I want to say nearish NSA that had a lot of super smart

Outsourcing childrearing to daycare farms is prioritizing work over family. Sometimes it's necessary. But often it's not. Both parents can't work full time and effectively rear young children IMO. Under such a scenario kids a

The freedom to say mildly offensive things on Twitter without getting punished by the state?

I'm not convinced. There are plenty of countries with social safety nets galore, and all of them seem to have fewer freedoms and fewer small businesses created per capita than the USA.

We need some bookies in this thread. A lot of AGI skeptics could get very rich at the expense of those that are absolutely convinced that AGI/singularity is coming soon. I'm willing to put down 10k that "the singularity"

I always take social science studies with a huge grain of salt because they are highly susceptible to emotional and political bias, even with safeguards such as peer reviews. It sounds like you are upset that MIT doesn't do enough IQ-b

Using IQ as the sole metric for intelligence is bogus though, in my opinion. Hard working "low IQ" slow learners beat mentally fragile or lazy "high IQ" quick learners 9 times out of 10 in my book. Low(er) IQ people can
