As dose most PC over clocking practically. It is just allowing chips to run at higher temps by removing the limitations on power designed to keep them managed.

Mobiles may be more strict. Due to battery life. But all over locking is considering the compremises and adjusting the priority.

With smart phones. The compromise is normally battery life rather then heat.

Desktops it’s adding extra cooling and shortening the design lifetime of chips in exchange for Greater CPU cycles.

You may be correct. I’m on 12 but it’s been a while since I installed.

Debian has some maintenance. But if you think windows doesn’t. Your already having issue.

But Debian is one of the most documented distros. If your having an issue. Odd are multiple people have documented how to resolve it.

Linux as a whole. Requires you to have a basic understanding, of what and why you are doing things. If not you will have a bad time.

Debians biggest issue. Is the default 0 non free firmware and software. This means some drivers etc are not going to install automatically.

So for any new install. Unless you have an entirely open system. You will need to manually edit the source files. And install extra packages.

If you have Nvidia this is a big issue. Bit well documented.

The big issue is when a new version comes out. If things change dramatically. Their is a delay in that clear documentation. This continues through their testing to stable releases.

But they are excellent at ensuring security releases continue well beyond the upgrade. Years usually.

Yep millions of us.

Most commonly due to stability.

Long term. It took effort and understanding to add newer versions of programs to it. Those of us with these skills managed. But it put off a lot of we want/need the latest without effort folks.

Over the last 10 years. Flat pack or appimage have come far enough. It is rare if ever I need to build any software I don’t want to.

As is Russia.

It is when non state actors are doing it. IE private actors.

When done by state resources it’s just a war crime.

If you’re in your late 70s. You have an excuse. But are not likely to think as you do. But if so. Sorry you were fooled by such arsehole Corporations lieing about their own research for decades.

If younger. Then you grew up knowing how dangerous smoking was. Even if you failed to believe the government telling you so. You have no excuse for makeing the choices you did.

And most of us who made those dumb choices do not expect others to take responsibility for them. Even if we find/found stopping hard. In nearly 60 years. Absolutely every government in my lifetime. Has reduced the excuses of the generations forward to fall for the stupidity. Including my father who gave up in his late 60s after cancer. But knew full well how dumb his smoking was when I was a toddler.

You are entitled to your opinion. But everyone else is also entitled to consider you pathetic. For thinking the government is responsible for fixing your own stupidity.

The idea is to prevent addiction forming in newer generation. Rather then banning those they have already developed addiction.

The minimum age has been rising for a couple of years.

This is actually a manifesto promises so has fairly high support. (Unlike almost everything else the gov has done).

LOL yep pretty sure anyone with brains called that.

Now let’s see what happens when NATO members try to go through. I expect him to make aoint of nations that refused to follow his offers.

And he will Def pick on all smaller non NATO members ships.

Or just refusing to run servers in California. Much like the US DRM encryption restrictions of the 90s. Where the whole Linux community just had distributions required parts of the download to happen in non US servers.

A single, (although big and very active in Linux) state, will always have more limitations then a nation. The issue comes if it becomes US national. And then the US starts pushing other nations to sign agreements.

Given at some point trumps harm to all international treaties will likely be repaired. Their may come a huge opportunity for US politicians to renegotiate international treaties.

Assuming trust is ever returned.

He depends on his Maga supporters believing universal healthcare is a failure.

Actually needing US aid has less importance then convincing his voters of the need.

Let’s face it. Nearly all left wing hosts and talk shows. Have made a point that Greenland will not give up universal healthcare to join the US.

So it’s important he has some indication that the US needed to provide services to Greenland to continue to counter that political argument.

Just like bombing Venezuela and kidnapping it’s leader. It’s nothing to do with drugs. But is instead about making the lies about drugs more believable to the idiots that vote for him.

MoHonestly, it has improved over the years.

Most distros now have dark mode installs with higher contrast. But adjustable font size and any form of text to speech during install seems missing.

Text to speech is available on most DE’s but very like windows. It is still very unintuitive for low vision rather than 0 vision use. Unfortunately, developers with no vision issues still fail to recognise speed matters in real life. And folks with limited vision tend to need the ability to only use text to speech on set text. IE the ability to enlarge most text and just speak on text we choose. Android is very good at that now. But desktop OSes still make visual impaired difficult to compete time wise with non-disabled users.

I have found it impossible to adjust menu font sizes on the vast majority of DE’s using a start like menu. Not to mention how bad the majority of more modern (fasionable) DE and application interface trends are for people needing to remember locations.

Fortunately, most Linux DE’s do have the ability to quickly magnify sections of the screen using alt and mouse scroll.

As for some applications, insistence on gray text on white or lighter gray backgrounds. Why the hell is this so darn common now. Even folks with good vision find it awful.

Seriously take the OS 3d slicing software available. Every time I install one. I takes most of a day to find out how to make anything even slightly visible. Their is absolutely no reason for it.

To rest of the world the US has started a war.

In the US congress is to embarrassed to admit they allowed him to do so. Rather then impeaching and hanging the little fucker.

Was still typing. Sorry

USA Citizens have no process to throw him out. Only Congress or the senate can.

As for raising up and revolting. That will be as effective as errm. Let’s say “using a tiny navy to support oil tankers against the worlds biggest navy” IE it just looks like a protest. Note his move to send red state national guards into blue state cities. Dispite their violence crime being lower then red states. And his call to call any protesters terrorist’s.

It could be argued Civil war is just a matter of a change of words.

Atkinson hyperledgable. Made by the RNIB.

I’m visually impaired and it really helps.

It is also a good font in general for easy reading.

There is also a next version. Little more modern looking and a mono version.

Sorry to grin at you. But in OS theory Linux is known as a monolith kernal. So you choice of words would have given my lecturers a freakout.

But while your terminology is a bit crossed. The ideal you are explaining is fine.

Better Technical way to put it. Linux is just the kernal. Much of the interface you see is actually programs or apps running above that kernal. A d can be changed amd selected.

Windows is also started multipart. But has become less so over time. And it’s single distributer makes it way less obvious. By preventing any competition within it’s internal structure. The original monolithic kernal of Windows was the MS Dos command.com program. But I no lying those of us from the 80s and early 90 remember using it.

The complaints are more about lack of support for OS drivers. If using proprietary drivers is not a worry. Then they are fine. Often the OS stuff works if your set up is simple.

My advice. Do not upgrade to quickly. They tend to have errors in their new proprietary drivers. Watch and see how others have done. Before upgrading essential machines.

The other issue. For non rendering. Their latest models performance to £$ etc is getting very bad. But blender still has major speed advantages on Nvidia. But that is looking more and more short term as blender grows.

Bullshit.

In 1997, the borders of Ukraine were the internationally recognized borders it inherited upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, which included its territory from the Black Sea to its borders with Belarus, Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. This was confirmed by the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, known as the “Big Treaty,” which legally bound Russia to respect Ukraine’s existing borders.

So Russia agreed to respect the 1991 borders. Then broke that agreement.

Besides the point. Ukraine only indicated a desire to Join NATO indicating a desire. Even in its constitution is not breaking the agreement. But a act of democratic will.

You are basically arguing.

"Oh it looks to me that Ukraine’s population wants to break a treaty we have already proven we will not abide by. We had a right to attack in the past. "

You are talking out your arse and have absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about.

Goodbye.

So after Russia invaded breaking it’s treaty commitment to respect the borders and sovereignty of Ukraine. Ukraine no longer followed it’s commitments under the broken treaty.

Yes that is the way things work.

Now maybe Russia should hand back the fucking nuke it got in return for agreeing to respect that soverinty.

Your argument are no more then trollinsh bollocks with zero merit.
