I'm running 6.8 kernel on current Mint for a new PC I built last year. I remember that being a big deal that they were using more recent kernels to improve hardware support. So far it's supported everything I've thrown at it without any effort on my part.
Depends on your definition of "old", I guess. 6.8 is considered "current", 6.14 and 6.17 are available on the list. So far, hardware support on 6.8 has covered everything I've thrown at it.
Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.
I'll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn't support it, etc.
Toss up between Warhammer Fantasy RP and Pendragon. WFRP has a reputation for grimdarkness and brutality (fair). Pendragon has a lovely system that plays fast and really encourages actual roleplaying in Arthurian Britain.
And the most brutal thing I've ever seen happen in a RPG was in Pendragon. The standard start includes some training exercises with your squire characters, including a joust with practice lances (break easily, no points or metal heads). You get to this within 10 minutes of starting, after 30-60 minutes of character creation.
One of the players suffered a critical hit to the face with a "safety lance" and was killed instantly. Had to roll up a new character, but was laughing the entire time.
True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this...as long as you're not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.
Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a "wish" instead of a concrete proposal.
I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from "limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people" up to "lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe". Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.
I did that just before the tariffs were announced. Kept the old PC (Win 10) but haven't turned it on since except to copy some files. Games, .NET development, everything I need working just fine. Can't see any reason to ever go back.
Don't you mean transforming Mars?

It's not a LITERAL fog, you warthog-faced buffoon.
Classic death spiral. And I think the title is misleading. "opt to go uninsured", as if it was a choice for them with a 100%+ increase.

Prodigy is excellent.

Whew, switched to Linux just in the nick of time!
Nah, just someone trying to position an image in a Word doc.

No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.
Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.
Danny Trejo!
