While I love to jump on the anti-Elon bus, I have to query: the highest accident rates, or highest accident rates as a percentage of vehicles on the road? If you have 10 Tesla cars on the road, and there are 2 MGs on the road, and 2 Telsas and one MG crashes, then what? 20% of Tesla vs. 50% of MG, but also that could be framed as ‘double the number of Teslas crash compared to MGs’ or ‘Tesla has the highest accident rate of any auto brand’.

Ah, thank you. I’ll have a go at that then.

Are you referring to the #define MASTER_LEFT?

This is just defining whether the USB is plugged into the left board or right board.

All defines start with a hash as standard. It’s not commenting the line out. For that, you’d use //.

Yes. But if 90% of your friends use it, and have groups in it where things are planned and organised, then by not having it you’re going to be missing out on a big chunk of things going on around you.

The challenge is that these days a phone is rarely used for calls or texts, but used with apps like WhatsApp or Teams or Slack or your mobile banking app, or things like that. And so there would need to be a critical mass of these apps to get me to switch.

An RSS feed is a publication that you can subscribe to without needing to give any personal information, such as your email address.

Website would publish their blog entries to an RSS feed so you didn’t need to keep going to their website, or give your email address to get it sent to you that way.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.

Way easier to drink a drive-thru drink from a straw while driving. And it’s a drive-thru, so kinda assumed you’ll be consuming it behind the wheel. My toddler also has a habit of not fully creating a seal between his bottom lip and the underside of the cup. So a straw in that case saves a lot of spillage.

I think it gives everyone the same list of 29, but it’s the order that’s important. Gentoo came back as my top. I use Void which came back as 4th in my list.

Well at least at the end of the questions the distro I use (Void) was somewhere near the top of the list (4th).

Thank you!

But does that equate to the power of AI doubling every 3.5 months?

I’ve been thinking about this, in conjunction with quantum computing and AGI for some time.

If AI follows anything like Moore’s Law, I don’t think it will be too long (decades) before we’ll be breaching the limit of 64bit, and we would need to go one way or another.

That said, based on the above, 99%+ of our existing jobs would have likely been fully automated, so the world would likely be a very different place, and 128bit computing likely would stand out as too big of an achievement.

True. I think someone else pointed this out as well. But I don’t eat a poultry drumstick. The English language is a funny thing!

Fascinating! Thank you all for the answers! I got an F in French at high school, which might explain why I hadn’t made the connection.

In fairness I can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that the majority of relationships will fail. If I were to take a random Facebook user who updated their status to ‘in a relationship’ and said that the relationship wouldn’t be successful, I’d likely have a 99%+ success rate.

Whoops. My bad. Adjustment made. Sorry :-/

Cool, thank you.

Ah, that’s a really good point. I hadn’t thought about that. I use Apple CarPlay and haven’t carried a wallet/cards in years.

Are there any non-Google, non-Apple OSs that allow for these (even if it is the Google app sitting in a sandbox)?

Its got the same ‘start raw’ that you get with Arch, so you can build it exactly the way you want. But you can also choose to go MUSL instead of GNU if you choose, and it’s non-systemd if that makes a difference.

It’s rolling release, but still stable, so I can upgrade after leaving it a month and be confident it’s unlikely to break as a result.

Hahaha that’s ok. I’ve tried them all except Slackware. Even gave LFS a go. But Void is home for me.
