But please based on wealth rather than income.

Rich people don’t become rich from income.

I use freesync on my monitor between 48 and 144 hz.

The range depends on the specific monitor.

It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!

Loading into World of War craft for the first time back in 2005 is probably the biggest.

Seeing all the people running around and doing their thing was incredible. It made me super excited to go explore the world.

My school offered a BA in physics. I never knew anyone who took it (I did the BS) but they claimed it was aimed at theater set- designers.

The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.

Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.

Yeah it’s just that the transport ministry is arguably the single biggest opportunity to enact green changes.

We don’t know how the negotiations went (maybe the FDP would have refused to go into government if the greens got the transport ministry) but it feels like a huge missed opportunity.

The US was always kind of a dead region for Dota, but it is/was very big in europe (especially Russia), south America, China, southeast Asia

Plenty of people ride dinosaurs!

I’ve literally never had this work for me, sadly

Yeah that’s basically what I did too.

I just installed dash to dock and made the icons quite large, then rebound a button on my air-mouse to the super key (to bring up the dash). I also installed Just Perfection and used it to hide the top bar unless the dash is open.

90% of the time, I’m just using Firefox, so I don’t need anything too fancy.

I’ve heard that the focus is on the ARM versions (so maybe they are much more developed) but I tried the x86_64 version on my HTPC recently and it was super barebones.

In the end I found Gnome with a few extensions to be a better solution for my needs

Housing shouldn’t be an (in real-terms) appreciating asset. In the long run that just leads to feudalism.

Imagine if everything keeps appreciating for 200 years… now only cyborg Elon musk can afford to buy a house.

I mean, the coasts aren’t really that densely populated. If we build nicer cities there would be plenty of potential space.

Instead we build shitty suburbs and sprawl, which will always lead to awful, expensive cities

They may not have much money left over after downsizing, however. In markets like California the value is almost entirely from the land. The comparative value of the house (even a 5 bed) is comparatively negligible. So a 5 bed on a small plot would cost almost the same as a 1 bed on the same plot. In Silicon Valley it’s really common to just buy a house and knock it down and rebuild, since the cost of building a new house is much less than the cost of the land.

It’s a genuine issue that the liquidity of the real estate market is impacted by this.

Which has the downside that it locks people into their current home because moving would mean losing their favorable rates.

Rising prices are bad for everyone.

The best way to make money is to already have money invested. You take the proceeds from your earlier investments and invest in MORE assets.

In this case it’s real estate.

I don’t think the US is particularly good at doing ‘fun weird’. We tend to take ourselves too seriously.

Eurovision would never happen in the US for instance.

KDE: traditional desktop environment with focus on lots of customization, options, and features. Often aimed more towards enthusiasts or everyday users who want the latest features.

GNOME: non-traditional desktop focusing on simplicity. Designed to be used a very specific way to maximize productivity. Often aimed more towards corporate or professional users.

Mint uses their own desktop environment (cinnamon) which is somewhere between the two.

All of these are nice in their own way, you just need to find which one you like best!

It’s the perfect mix of low skill for and outrageously high skill ceiling
