The headline doesn't say they just released it. In fact, it seems to refer to existing repos.

Oh God damn you. Have your upvote and... you know the rest...

To put that difference in perspective: the gap between those two numbers is so enormous that no analogy from everyday life can adequately capture it.

Literally did not put the difference in perspective. 🙄

Purchasing power I have an easier time wrapping my head around - I'm poor as dirt. So...sorta get it, but not really.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn't that sort of circuit involve a nontrivial amount of resistance in order for the charge to accumulate in the first place? Because the current from such a battery has very little amperage...

I'll be damned: a headline that made me grin. Fuck I wish there were more headlines with puns, as opposed to the clickbait, slams, and dumb questions that always have the answer no.

Same. And I don't even gamble. But Ozzy collaborated with him, which is good enough for me! 😎

I feel like your explanation is missing some details. Because if you owe $1010 in 2027, what good does the comparison to 2026 do you? You can't pay with last years currency...?

I'm not disagreeing, mind you. Economics is rather arbitrary, after all. Just confused (which does not surprise me).

Well, no, frivolous lawsuits absolutely cannot be ignored. That will result in a summary judgment against you. In fact, the orange shithead became infamous for illegally refusing to pay contractors, then overwhelming them with frivolous lawsuits which would force the victim to back down because they couldn't afford the legal fees to defend themselves.

Whether the allegation is reasonable or not is irrelevant. If you don't defend yourself, you lose. If you can't afford decent representation, you lose. Objective truth doesn't even count. The wording of the law, whatever precedent exists from previous cases (even if it's obviously bullshit), and correctly following obtuse rules in how you present your argument are all that matters.

So, call it pedantic if you want, whatever; our legal system just does not work the way you're implying. At all.

Edit: Even if a lawsuit should obviously be thrown out, the judge generally cannot just do that - your lawyer has to file a motion requesting dismissal. Ignoring it WILL bite you in the ass.

Virtual machine is a good place to start I hadn't even thought of. Live USB is a good follow up, though, as that allows you to check out driver compatibility.

I currently can't offer much on which distros to try, I'm afraid; for various reasons, my Steam Deck is my daily driver, and SteamOS is good enough for my needs. I have tried Bazzite, but it was more buggy on the deck; that said, it is quite popular. Nobara install images aren't done cleanly, it seems, and I was not impressed with the community support (basically got told I was imagining things when I asked for help). CachyOS looked interesting, but I want stability over bleeding edge features.

But wish you luck on your journey!

Makes sense. Also gives you time to learn about your choices, try out different live USB versions of distros, all that fun stuff.
