The Mint one likewise pushes flatpaks.

Most packages in Mint you can download from the system repo. You don’t have to use flatpacks. I have my LMDE set to show only system packages since i’m not a fan of flatpacks.

Almost like healthcare should be universal or something.

Not in 11 that i’ve seen but drivers used to be ridiculous on windows. The funny thing is it was even worse on linux for a hot minute. I remember borking my nic multiple times on slackware 3 and having to hoof it to my friend’s house to download a driver way back in olden times. I learned a fuckload about linux and networking during those years breaking things.

You don’t compile everything from code yourself? Amateur. /s

I respectfully disagree.

At papa johns in colombia they have nutella rolls. They’re basically garlic knots but instead of garlic they use nutella. They’re amazing.

hydrashok just trying to get the help he needs:

Baba is the word for father in a bunch of languages.

As one of the first utterances many babies are able to say, baba (like mama, papa, and dada) has come to be used in many languages as a term for various family members:

father: Albanian, Arabic, Western Armenian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Greek, Marathi, Marshallese, Mingrelian, Nepali, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Yoruba, Shona, Zulu  
grandmother: many Slavic languages (such as Bulgarian, Czech, Russian, Serbo-Croatian and Polish; a doublet of bubbe), Romanian, Yiddish, Japanese  
grandfather: Azerbaijani, Zulu (father, grandfather)  
baby: Afrikaans, Sinhala, Hungarian  

You can hear the zulu one in the opening lines of The Lion King song Circle of Life. 

"Nants ingonyama bagithi baba." literally means "hear comes the lion, father"

Babies first sounds are usually a consonant followed by a vowel. So ma, pa, ga, gu, ba. A few months later they start duplicating the sounds while testing out their speaking abilities so you get mama, papa, gaga, googoo, baba. Which are common first words for lots of baby things. Like baba for my sister was her bottle. Every baby might not say every variation while they’re learning and they will obviously have favorite words but generally that’s why we consider baby speech like that. Maybe english just happens to choose the “g” for the leading consonant because we have a lot of hard g words in english and that’s what babies pick up on first.

here in colombia there is a drink additive called Kola Granulada and it’s basically a multivitamin with cola extract. It’s pretty tasty and everyone adds it to all sorts of juices including lemonade. I like in with orange and passionfruit juice.

I live next to a large road in a city and can verify that cars are loud as fuck even without external speakers making customized car ringtones.

They already do that with moving billboards. In my neighborhood the billboards are louder than my tv at half volume. Really pisses me off when they roll by.

Is oily bread a bad thing? I love dipping bread in olive oil. And oily bread with garlic is just better.

And how is “trump” even a string that should be part of a .gov website?

That’s easy to answer. mushroom dick got jealous of everyone calling the affordable care act “obama-care”. The orange dipshit probably thought it was literally called that so he made sure his healthcare shitfuckery was branded with his own name to one up obama.

So mostly it’s because obama lives rent free in his head.

Ah, that makes sense. Maybe i read an earlier article where they had only partially recovered.

I’ll save this comment and report back next time i have an ear worm.

My brain is dumb. It likes to only repeat parts of songs so even if i made up an ending it’d still just go back to the part i was stuck on. It’s why i can’t do the second song thing because then i’d end up having some weird remixes going on.

‘We didn’t pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers,’ says automaker

No. You wanted to replace engineers who costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with a glorified chatbot because it cost less (for the introductory period only) and now you’re trying to save face because it blew up in your faces.

I find playing the song i have stuck in my head to completion gets rid of the earworm. If i played another song i’d just have two earworms.

Didn’t this happen years ago? I remember them doing the same thing using some heuristic algorithm long before llms were on the scene.
