Meta Is Recruiting Former Pentagon Officials As It Ramps Up Military Ambitions

Reading that headline is crazy, why would Meta have any military ambitions. And then in the first sentence of the text they mention AI. I guess they need to use AI for any possible application to show that they get value from their large investments.

We thought Blatter was the worst possible Fifa president we could have. And then we got Infantino.

In my city they give HPV vaccine for free for everyone between 18-26. I think the men gets it to reduce the transferring between people.

By playing American idiot on repeat?

Didn’t people smuggled butter from Sweden to Norway? Imaging having that on your criminal record.

Speaking of toilet paper, if they burn it can can use the heat to boil water and generate electricity. Since they use everything they can get their hands on to generate electricity it might soon be a new tp crisis.

It would be funny if she got a chocolate medal to gift him. Like this if you have not seen those medals with chocolate inside.

I got bad vibes as soon as she started to talk about sharing the prize with Trump. To be honest I’m a bit worried what will happen in Venezuela if she becomes president. Because people who are willing to do anything to be leaders are rarely good leaders.

But the article defines the longest possible train journey as needing to be the shortest possible route between the start and end points. So detours don’t count as part of a journey.

That makes sense, otherwise you could do all types of crazy detours to get a longer journey.

Username checks out.

You are correct. Even supercapacitors discharge but since they hold more energy it takes longer time before you can notice/measure it.

I also liked 8.1, but I kept 7 until 8.1 was released so I never experienced 8.0. Personally I was disappointed with Windows 7 when I moved from Vista because I had heard that it would be faster but for me 7 was slower before I upgraded to a SSD. I used a debloated version of Vista and compared it with the standard 7 so not really a far comparison.

In order to see the “View - User Interface”, I had to go to View -> View -> select Menubar

Side note: for capturing screenshots I can recommend Spectacle, works at least as good as snipping tool in Windows and with the same shortcut as snipping tool.

Didn’t Trump say that US will take control over Venezuela for now? In that case I assume the regime will fall. But he says a lot of things, so who knows what that means? Maybe he made a deal with the vice president etc. that they can rule as long as he gets some money from the oil.

Seems like everything went smooth and that Maduro is gone from power now. It is good that Maduro is gone but we’ll see what happens with Venezuela now, hopefully it becomes better but I’m far from certain about that.

a flight of helicopters which could be MH60 Sea Hawk - nothing very impressive, a random civilian filmed them going low and slow, MANPADS fodder but it seems they got lucky on that leg of the run

It seems like those helicopters carried special forces that are now on the ground and doing what they are there to do.

There was also airplanes flying low over the city. I read that it was 7 explosions and that the area without electricity is near a major military base.

I looked on the topics of the video and all of them make sense. However, I think the biggest problem for average persons is that they don’t care enough to watch a video that is 80 minutes long (if they even find it). Also, I’m not sure if video is the correct format since I prefer text and some pictures. But I’m not an average user :) for a grandma a video might be better, I don’t know.

For feedback of the video itself, the parts where you show Cinnamon, Gnome and KDE could benefit from showing the screen more and how to navigate in the OS. If I try to imagine how an elderly person would feel about changing OS to Linux from using Windows for decades then I’m not sure watching does short glimpses would convince them that they can handle it.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, I’m trying to give constructive feedback. I think it is a nice initiative and from what I saw the topics are well chosen and you speak slowly and clearly.

Is it a thing that people call Windows or Dell etc. for problems with their PC? I looked quickly at Microsoft’s support page and in my country it seems like the only way to contact them is over a chat. But I can understand if the grandma user would prefer a phone call instead of a chat with an AI. Maybe Fedora or Tumbleweed have support over phone? Otherwise I would say all distros have good tech support in forums.
