I understand completely, I don’t even update until I need to. In my case, screen capture works more consistently with Wayland than x11.

Xwayland should work basically forever, so there’s no reason to rewrite anything. In time those features will get implemented, but I’m guessing you will need to change the scripts to use something other than wmctrl unless that particular program gets updated

What is the use case that doesn’t work for you? Mine was Nvidia and now it’s working on gnome at least

If only x11 worked well in the first place. But its many flaws are never going to addressed because the developers only work on Wayland

the mitigations just have bugs, and bugs can be fixed

I’m not convinced it won’t be a thing of the past after some time

The age is 25, that’s basically enough to finish college and get your first job

I know people with graduate degrees who got their first job at 25-27

Isn’t there a last modified time stamp on files?

If a file has not been modified, why does it need to be scanned?

When my cat looks at her reflection and makes noises at the “other cat” on the other side if the mirror, I’m pretty sure she’s not aware of how she looks like

Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it’s better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install

It used to take a computer with a ton of ptocessors to beat the best human. Now your phone can do it. When your most common tasks can be done on a phone NPU, and fewer GPUs need to be in the cloud it will get more efficient

Yes, I believe it. But when I went to urgent care with my ex, they got her in in about an hour.

Overall, my experience with the US system is that it’s on average faster than the Canadian one if you need urgent care.

It was four hours in the US. Trust me, staying in the hospital until 1 am is way different than sitting until the morning in a plastic chair

No, you actually won’t. I went to Canada, had an accident and had to wait 8 hours in the emergency room to get care because apparently I wasn’t dying

As an American, I had to pay $1000 for this privilege

There were companies that didn’t survive the dot com crash despite being worth billions. Amazon is a company you would recognize, even though a better company is pets.com

If you bought their stock you would be very rich for a very short while until it went bankrupt

Did I say zero revenue? I said didn’t make a profit. Lots of companies made money, but couldn’t make more money than they spent. You can easily have an investment that is valued high that you can’t cash out

Let’s say you bought some stock now, at the end of the year it’s worth $1,000,000 and you get charged $150,000 in April. Big problem, the brokerages stopped allowing you to sell the stock and it crashed down, so now your GameStop stock is worth $100,000

How do you pay?

Amazon had its first profitable year in 2003. It was worth 21 billion dollars.

Let’s say I give $100,000 to a friend that starts a start-up. You claim after some years that investment is worth $1,000,000 and want me to pay $150,000 tax

I take out a loan for $150,000 because the startup didn’t make any profit. The startup goes bust. I now have a $100,000 loss and I paid $150,000 in taxes. Thankfully I can write $3000 off on my taxes every year until I die!

I’m saying you can’t pay with paper money, you must pay with real money for everything.

I’m not against considering loans against unrealized assets as realization (with stepped up basis) since the person taking out said loan can use it to pay said tax.

But then I’d have to take out loans to pay my taxes which is absurd. I’ll have to pay taxes on money that I don’t physically have
