IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.

Can anyone enlighten me: What is the advantage of IRC over say Matrix, Email, etc…

You might also be interested in the Panopticon.

In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.

If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.

Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.

RT systems are all about responsibility.

When you’re driving a vehicle, the vehicle has a lot of CPUs inside that help the steering.

When these CPUs pause - for even 0.4 seconds - something bad can happen. Somebody can get seriously injured, or even killed. So it is very important that these systems never freeze or pause for any reason. That is what RT is all about.

It’s only a matter of time until Google Maps will enshittify, too.

two conspiracy theories in one! i love that community.

Cooking rice is a notoriously hard problem (and for that reason I recommend noodles instead) but my tip is:

• Don’t (!) do the 2:1 thing where you mix 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rice. Some of the water will boil off and the ratio will be distorted, except if you close your cooking pot, in which case it begins to foam like crazy and give you something to clean up
• Do just fill a large pot with lots of water and make it boil; then when it boils add the rice and cook a certain time with the pot open. I’ve made the best rice this way.

Oh that’s great news! We’re accelerating our development towards burn outs! Wait …

I guess the reason they won’t is to avoid the “there’s 5 different left parties” meme moment.

Except the teapot. The teapot is highly valuable.

bottom dom sounds interesting 🤔

Well, if you have asymmetric cables, there’s always one clearly-defined host and the other one is the slave.

it works like sex: with usb-c, both devices more or less kinda have ti “negotiate” who’s dom and who’s sub. that takes extra negotiation effort and makes the protocol more complicated. and therefore more expensive imo.
