Fedora is great but installing nvidia drivers is just enough of a hassle for most people to skip over it and choose a derivative like Bazzite

Simon Clark had a pretty good nuanced video on recycling and goes over plastics recycling in the latter parts of the video https://youtu.be/iOtrvBdRx8I

TL;DW Consider the environmental impact of systems over materials, most plastic doesn’t get recycled but some types of plastic are highly recyclable, existing plastic is undervalued, reduce > reuse > recycle.

Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS

Books are not immune to being written by LLMs spewing nonsense, lies, and hallucinations, which will only make more traditional issue of author/publisher biases worse. The asymmetry between how long it takes to create misinformation and how long it takes to verify it has never been this bad.

Media literacy will be very important going forward for new informational material and there will be increasing demand for pre-LLM materials.

Maybe you’re thinking of OpenOffice, which has been dead for years

A lot of exercises you can do in the gym you can also do at home with a pair of dumbbells or even just your body weight.

The benefits of the gym for me is having an air conditioned environment, with machines that can guide my exercises and help enforce proper form, a good space to meetup with personal trainers, opportunities for group classes, and somewhere where there’s people around in case anything goes wrong in one of my exercises.

Not all gyms are the same too. There are climbing gyms, kickboxing gyms, mma gyms, gyms with pools, gyms with basketball and volleyball courts, gyms with tennis, squash, and badminton courts, etc. A lot of those you can’t do from home.

It’s not unique to Americans. A lot of cultures use compound words to describe new things

I see this sentiment pop up occasionally but it’s rare that anyone ever explains what else the Mozilla Foundation does that’s so egregious to make it not worth donating.

Québec has done a lot of VFX for movies too. Hallmark movies often film in northern Ontario.
