I have to ask what you mean by fight against entropy? Are you referring to the apparent paradox that complex life goes against the idea of entropy tending to increase?
It is, however, only apparent. Assembleages, as you call them, are just possible expressions of energy in the system. Like if you put energy into a double pendulum in can swing in complex patterns. When you make any local reduction to entropy, by assembling order, it necessarily comes at the cost of increased ‘global’ entropy. That’s the meaning of the second law. Nobody can fight against it, without reversing the direction of time.

Yeh I don’t think Nobara is beginner friendly. I’d say my experience was the same as yours. Difficulties with lots of things, but could find solutions. Given it wasn’t my primary PC, and I don’t have time for that - gone for mint (needed some stale stale kernl)

Sounds more like a hardware issue. Screen black, like it goes off no output? Any visual glitching first? Desktop doesn’t respond? How do you know, is it sounds stop or make funny noise?

Search inside the system? Open taps? Not sure what this means

Can you restart the computer? Or will the distro not boot after this?

And this doesn’t happen in Windows?

Makes sense if you’re paying extra for the colour

Not OP, but i am here because it’s addictive.

Ostensibly, I came to be informed about special interest areas… But that’s not a fair representation of how my time is spent.

Still trying to sell? Would you ship to aus?

I don’t think you can controlled burn a suburb tho.

Thanks for the detailed response!

I’m neither a professional programmer nor a user of Ai but…

Do you think your experience, I’m guessing a pre-ai trained programmer, is reflective of post-ai trained programmers?

Will the inevitable reliance on AI in learning and training, will creativity of new programmers drop? Is that even a problem?

I mean, it’s a highly visible strategic military position. I’m sure that American can technically give it up, but it’s a huge cost.

US is global military hegemon, no matter how many civ games might make one think they have a cultural victory.

This comment has got me in a spin. Isn’t GNOME the standard DE of fedora workstation?

Cold turkey worked for me. Took me 4 attempts. I wasn’t hard on myself for failure, I noted what happened (emotional trauma, stress, alcohol) and prepared myself for the next attempt.

I wanted to quit, so when I relapsed it’s not because I wanted to smoke but because those little cancer stick bastards were trying hardest to kill me. But if they were going to be tough, I could be tougher. I found it easier when I could see the cigs as my enemy.

10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that’s a ‘custom job’.

Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that’s falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.

Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.

The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.

Punish their greed.
