They hold "system binaries" meant for root user. It's not a hard distinction but many if not most Linux fundamentals have their roots in very early computing, mainframes, Bell and Xerox, and this good idea has been carried into the here&now. Not sure about the provenance of this one, but it makes sense. isn't /mnt /media different between distros? These aren't hard and fast rules - some distros choose to keep files elsewhere from the "standard".

/bin and /usr/bin, one is typically a symbolic link to another - they used to be stored on disks of different size, cost, and speed.

That is inherently a gift then, donation? No different that giving it away and morally lesser to giving to the poor. Breaks one of the rules.

Nothing was ever wrong with calling them “virtual assistants” - at least with them you’re conditioned to have a low bar of expectations. So if it performs past expectations, you’ll be excited, lol.

The previous ones were all attainable without paying and any weapons you got as part of the bundle, while nice, often did not last long unless you were good at the game.

I’m confused. Do you have a job in tech? Maybe you just.. don’t like what you went to school for. That happens. Or your associate the work with something negative enough that you don’t like doing it.

I work in tech but I solve enough problems daily that (although minor) I get the dopamine hit to keep going. I also know how to recognize small victories. I too had the burnout problem when trying to build a 3d printer and just let it stay half assembled for an entire year. Then I picked it up again a few weeks ago. I’ll keep working on it today because I don’t want to burn cash on a preassembled printer and I know I can finish it. It’s just time consuming. How I manage burnout won’t be the same for you but you can try switching projects more often instead if grinding out the same one until it’s done. I learn that way that since projects are not worth finishing or at least require me to think about how to continue them for a while. But I usually go back to them to work them out anyway. Because leaving half done projects sucks.

I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.

The mouse acceleration present in all Apple platforms that you can’t turn off unless you change system files on a Mac. It makes using an iPad as a work computer difficult.

Yes. Most people are this way.

This is great but will the implants by this company expire and stop working once it gets bought out or goes out of business, like with so many other experimental implants that worked great? (No /s) In case article goes kaput:

‘’’ Sticking an electrode inside a person’s brain can do more than treat a disease. Take the case of Rita Leggett, an Australian woman whose experimental brain implant changed her sense of agency and self. She told researchers that she “became one” with her device.

She was devastated when, two years later, she was told she had to remove the implant because the company that made it had gone bust. ‘’’

They used the wrong type of bulb. Ordinarily the bulb will be made of a UV blocking glass, and not be quartz based. I think? So it’s not usually the shroud that stops UV except in cases of Halogen bulbs. These would be CFL without any shield except perhaps a cage to protect against things thrown.

Because they promised and continue to deliver more on Fairphones 2&3
