I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers.

The essence of every vape is to move hot air through the herb. In that regard it doesn’t matter how you heat it, so the chalice beats it out.

As for the specific technology, aren’t the only designs that copied it in essence volcano like bag desktops? A tiny fraction of modern devices pushes air.

Now compare that to the majority of modern vapes, from dyna and terpcicle, over ball vapes, to electric conduction and convection. All of them move the hot air by having the user draw it, just like the steam chalice.

More like one of the sons of modern vaping. The steam chalice predates his experiments by a few decades, and this bong looks like a direct derivative.

I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I’ve see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time.

When you can’t call upon reason, invent ad hominems. Get some help buddy.

I was still a Linux n00b back in even 2012.

Oh so was I. During the early opensuse I was a teen playing with new toys after reading about Linux in a pc mag. I’ve only started seriously using Linux around 2010-2013.

Ok, except I did predict it. It turns them both into strings and gives you “12”. I checked it.

I would assume [1] + [2] would give you either 0 or 2, but maybe “12”.

I can totally predict the future like that. Tomorrow it might rain, it might not, or it might snow. Want me to predict your future for a small donation? Here’s a small teaser: tomorrow you might or might not eat breakfast.

My mystical powers lay the creation bare before me, all is predictable!

Oh I know, just making fun of the shill.

Ok shill. Where’s your canonical DE?

They invented a solution to sell user data to Amazon, does that count?

They also have a bunch of knock-off products like canonical aws, canonical terraform-ansible, canonical k8s, etc.

This isn’t a decade ago, when Ubuntu was … leagues more generally user friendly than most other distros.

It was crap a decade ago that’s why everyone was already installing mint, and only slightly less crap almost 2 decades ago. I installed Linux for the first time around 2006, and Ubuntu was no different than one of the first versions of opensuse. The whole “Ubuntu is for beginners” hype was literally all due to them sending free install CDs.

one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros

Oh you mean the DE they abandoned almost 10 years ago?

Is selling user data to Amazon and harvesting data illegally from Azure VMs not enough for users to tell them to stick their terminal ads up their ass? I don’t think that’s unfair.

Changes in the water pressure and current cause organic matter to rise. It feeds the prey, and provides cover so fish feel safer to eat the prey. The change in temperature promotes activity because there’s more O2 in cold water.

From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago

• sees an error message, doesn’t read it
• starts pasting random shit into the terminal
• breaks the system
• Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
• after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
• tries again, gives up again
• films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work

Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.

Having modular DEs is what:

made X11 a monolithic unmaintainable mess

I could never get it to work.

Yeah. “Feature parity or get out”, like dude we’re long past feature parity.

Ok, replace the xfce/KDE wm with something like i3 and then keybind all of the commands that aren’t wm specific through a global hotkey daemon like sxhkd.

No

Not who you asked, but:

• sxkhd: no global hotkey daemons allowed except the compositor

• i3wm inside of xfce/plasma: every compositor is implemenyed as a monolithic DE, fuck modularity

I still switched to Wayland, but can’t be bothered to customise a new wm

I don’t know about how they compare in scale, but corpos were spending billions on business AI solutions, and there were specialised technologies that died when the bubble burst.

Have you seen any comparisons to the previous AI bubbles and winters?

This?
