Was really exciting seeing ferrari move up through the field towards the top 3. If that safety car hadn't been called, ferrari could've gone for soft tires and put pressure to get both drivers on the podium

Hopefully ferrari improves on this and keeps the momentum going

That would've been a huge risk, earlier this race you saw that the mediums only lasted about 17 laps, and they had almost 24 to go if they chose soft. It's honestly amazing Russel was able to keep the soft from degrading for the rest of the race, but it was a huge risk and probably a bit of luck. Even Russel said it was ambitious

You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.

Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.

Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line

Personally I believe that unless you're able to do a slackware or gentoo installation, you're not ready for Linux.

/s but only kinda

Linux users need to have a higher level of technical literacy than windows users. It just can't be avoided unless you're okay with potentially reinstalling your os at some point. The bar has been lowered a lot, but because other companies refuse to play nice with Linux, it'll always be there.

If you're okay with that tradeoff, then yeah Linux is great. But a lot of people aren't even aware of it and it causes a lot of pain

I'm glad someone is saying this.

While I understand people don't want to give Trump any wins, choosing the shut the government down is the wrong hill to die on. Given the chaos that DOGE has caused, and the executive branch throwing around their power completely unchecked, shutting down the government would plunge america into chaos.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump had a plan to frame the government shutdown as "government inefficiency" and use it to grab much more executive power.

I have found AI to be a terrible primary source. But something I've found very useful is to ask for a detailed response, structured a certain way. Then tell the AI to grade it as a professor would. It actually does a very good job at acknowledging gaps and giving an honest grade then.

AI shouldn't be a primary source but it's great for starting a topic. Similar to talking to someone that's moderately in the know on something you interested in

This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.

Anyone supporting this guy is insane. Literally trying to become an emperor

Negotiations without security assurances*

This is the prime stickler with the USA-Ukraine deal that has been discussed on the news
