3. We have gotten use to having regular house fires in houses made of paper.

You are forgetting the plug on the knob that will plug it in

Genetic behavioural changes is a fascinating topic and the more studies that come out on it, the faster it seems to be able to act to have an effect

Just look at how quickly agriculture changes human societies living in the right conditions to practice it.

We are talking thousands of years, not even tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands.

Given any factor that is core to survival, there seems to be a genetic impact much more quickly than previously thought. It does have its limits of course, we are not talking something with a measurable effect over 3 or 4 generations, but 30-40 generations seems to be possible in some cases.

Maybe the village fire keeper was a lot more reproductively popular that we previously thought.

Nothing in the modern context, but 10000 years ago. If you were a black African and your fire went out, your food might not het cooked or that predator might take a chance to grab one of the kids.

If you were a white person in northern europe, your fire going out meant that everyone froze solid overnight.

Fire was just more essential in climates that developed white skins. Socially and genetically, that has an impact on behaviour.

Its not for his head. Not that one at least.

They are real people

XZ Utils (maintained single-handedly by Lasse Collin) is widely regarded as the most critical infrastructure library run by one person. Its near-catastrophic compromise in 2024 revealed how global digital security hinges on solo, thanklessly managed open-source projects. Other major examples include cURL (Daniel Stenberg) and SQLite (D. Richard Hipp)

They are not as restrictive as people make them out to be. Ostree works quite well for installing a primary app like a different browser.

If you want to avoid dependency conflicts entirely, You can have a look at distro shelf. It allows you to run a container for nearly any distro, install packages and then export those apps to run like native apps. I use it all the time when something is only supported via package and not flatpack, or some other distro only.

The container still maps to your same home folder for file and config access.

I have 3 containers, a fedora workstation one for standard apps I don’t want to do via Flatpak or AppImage. An Debian one for deb packages. And lastly a Arch one, which is for the more experimental apps. If I end up breaking something, I can just wipe the container and start again.

Bazzite has lots of customizations built-in if you download the Asus spin.

It could also be that they decided to change the criteria for what they identify as a Linux device. Especially when they don’t have enough metadata because of good privacy settings.

What did you struggle with?

Debian for servers and fedora for desktop for me.

Some people I will put on Mint for desktop use, if they are super non-technical.

Its called Xenophobia.

Xenophobia and racism are distinct forms of prejudice: xenophobia is the fear or hatred of foreigners, while racism is the belief in racial superiority and systemic oppression based on race. Though they overlap, they target people for different reasons.

Budget 😂. In South Africa the Sonata is one of their largest sedans.

Hyundai Accent is the budget one. Elantra is the mid-size one. I doubt either are available in the US.

Dollar converted, the Accent costs about $12k.

The US car market is so cooked.

Correct, we are likely going to need to do geoengineering for a 100-200 years while CO2 gets reduced gradually.

Baking soda aerosols are looking promising. They can just at 2-3% sodium additive to all jet aircraft exhaust and it will be enough to reverse the current levels of elevated CO2.

Start doing some real chemtrails.

Put a garnishing order on their past 50 years of profits. All proceeds go to infrastructure investments for the developing world in climate mitigation and food security.

Sounds like a Challange.

The disk battle is the wrong one to fight.

The correct battle is that buying=owning not leasing.

And it lines up with the expectations of the viewer.

They are called conservatives.
