Nitpick: shadows are 2D, the way we perceive them at least.

Hi OrangeTide, I'm late to the party but your comment resonates with me, ... 1) stupidity used to get shot down in school and everywhere else, but velvet gloves and precious snowflakes, 2) bubbles for every possible type of groupthink, and 3) cancel culture have a lot to do with open brain malfunction and common acceptance thereof. Add to that that lying by politicians and other prominent figures is in vogue, and fsck us, here we are.

Ignore the naysayers, I'm happy for you, 250mb/s sounds great. And indeed the improvement is stellar. I'm not a BSD user but it's good to have one more option. Enjoy!

If you switch every time you hit a bug with anything computer related, you soon turn to gardening. Otherwise, I've managed to fix my Linux issues (most recent ones often related to systemd or other parts that are new - note that I've tried Wayland but switched back, will try again in a few months), and have little that annoys me, contrary to any other OS that I've used recently... But your mileage may vary, due to having different needs and preferences.

As if you need to speak the same language to share a national identity... Greetings from Switzerland.

I'm with you. I also want scroll bars that don't get invisible only to show up when I move the mouse pointer near them. I want to see how much more there is and my hands are sometimes on the keyboard or otherwise away from the mouse.

Darn it! Sorry it was too late, and you won the negative cancer lottery in life... As someone next to a victim who's had to go through chemo + chemo + radiation, and still down due to medication (f me, another 18 months for one and another 6.5 years for the other), I really really wish you all the energy and all the support and all the enjoyment of life that you need and are able to grab. It's amazing when the hair grows back and people think you should be okay and you know you're so far from your former health and ability, it just sucks. Again, all the best!

I think the answer will be found one day by a sociologist with a biology degree....

Obviously, providing value is subjective, but when the aliens finally land and aren't fans of reality TV, social media and such, perhaps they'll decide mankind just has to be stopped....

Actually, where I live, all of the above are perfectly legal, as long as the copy doesn't leave my hands. Also, the original may be a loaner from the public library, which I borrowed for free. Lastly, someone may actually request the copy to be made for them, if they can't operate the photocopier themselves for instance. However, in that case I may not ask more money for the copy I provide to them. But, if I am in their employ, I may get paid for making said copy in terms of the time I spend on the photocopier.

If you've ever used different layouts from US you'll have found the special characters in UNIX (Linux) are all chosen for touch typing, or at least for easy accessibility.

Well, if you want to get closer to the originals of the various stories, perhaps you have to go back way further, like the people who made this - hope you enjoy - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

You didn't like Don't Look Up or was it too close to reality? And you didn't like 1917? Passengers? (Okay, perhaps *gag* for you...) The Walk? Gran Torino? Inside Out? Alita? Miss Peregrine's Home for peculiar children?

Wonderful point, and indeed the two scenes combined are movie worthy. Mod parent up!

As someone who's been bitten by the same thing, I'd like to say your long message made total sense and it would have set straight and convinced the staunchest unbelievers, in fact, it's quite possibly the one piece of prose that could have fixed antivaxxers, trumptard MAGAists as well as climate deniers. Alas, because of Slashdot filters it got lost in cyberspace, and so the suffering continues....
