@CliffsEsport @andypiper for everyday use and possibly to hand it to my child when the time comes...
@_elena @andypiper You can make most distros work with enough effort. Most distros allow you to run a "live" session from the install flashdrive/DVD, before you install it loads a basic version of the distro into RAM from the flashdrive or DVD. How most installers work, though there are other ways to install. So you can test drive them that way before installing. Just note, actual install often reveals issues testing via live version does not reveal.
@yaqubpk @ChaiPaniEtc @sup January! If you signed up, you may get access sooner ;)
@dansup @yaqubpk @ChaiPaniEtc @sup how much soon? My spot will be locked tomorrow! And after official release i plan to selfhost sup (Public or not it depends how much responsibility i need, like if cheap as chatmail then public, if like fediverse instance then invite-only/private)
@Edent got it! I'm not going to create a dual boot, but just wipe the drive and have Linux on it...
@_elena @Edent Just a heads up, make sure to use your macbook air or another mac to make a macos installer USB before you install any linux distro in case you ever want to go back
Apple, being apple, doesn't let just anyone just download an ISO, the only officially supported routes to create recovery media require using a mac with a functional install of macos

Kurz bevor Trump zum APEC-Gipfel nach Shenzhen reist, ließ China ein Militärmanöver nahe Taiwan durchführen. Dessen Dimension ist beispiellos. https://taz.de/!6230039

It turns out that there are no air traffic jams if you just ground all the flights. Another win for AI.

I would add that "keep going" isn't always the right answer. But, if it is, how do you hang on through the (seemingly) unrewarding part of learning?
Set your own bars for success? Know that getting a C- when you started from behind is a big deal and harder than just getting As with little effort since everything has been just how you needed it for years?
I think sometimes when students can work through this stage they do get to the other side. It gets easier.
And yet. It's hard.
More time. I did poorly in freshman algebra so the math nun pointed me away. Trig in community college was a revelation. The teacher went slowly, did many problems on the board, many, many. Best was tests were frequent and short, with infinite retakes. Real world problems like visiting and then creating a real new floorplan and a budget for a shelter were engaging. Equating math to a gym for the brain helped. Ended up with a math bachelor's despite the nun's opinion.

#OnThisDay in 1716, the great German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz died. Read @jwyg's essay on how Leibniz's early vision of computation and the “combinatorial art” speak to our own age of data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/let-us-calculate-leibniz-llull-and-the-computational-imagination #OTD

I did the daily puzzle, and holy shit do you not know the plot to Polar Opposites. If you’d watched even the first episode, you’d know it’s not a slow-burn romance, they aren’t forced to be closer, and the leads aren’t “honour student” and “troublemaker”. And the palette not including pink? For shame.
This was the first one I did, which sets a really bad first impression.

I need the mastodon hive mind again.
How would you properly generate a chip select signal within a 68040/060 system? Specifically around indicating if something is a valid address.
I know with a 68000-68030 system, you’d just do some address decoding and then use the AS signal, however I am getting myself pretty confused when it comes to 68040 systems.
Would it just be monitor TS for the start of the transfer, then wait until TIP (transfer in progress) is no longer asserted?
I am doing tests on my old (2017) HP Intel/Nvidia laptop to see where I'm going to end up, #Linux-wise.
So far I've learned that my GPU (GeForce 940MX) is definitely not compatible with the current Nvidia driver (version 590).
For that reason, `modprobe nvidia` doesn't work in #Bluefin for Nvidia, and that process permanently takes up half a CPU core.
Bluefin for AMD/Intel runs just as well as Bluefin LTS. Definitely a contender.
I'm going to try #Aeon. Maybe it will run as well or better.
@passthejoe 580 is the last supported driver on the 940Mx but with minimal wayland support.
This thing RUNs like hell, it renders my Davinci videos within 20-30 minutes. You might have sucess with a kernel below 7.x. Otherwise your renderimg gets effed and will no longer start and take ages to start whilst the countdown timer counts up. AI might propose a way to tinker around, but this is all.
