  • I taught math for a couple of years in my local rural school. The fastest way to get kids to stop using certain annoying words or phrases was to start using them myself. It absolutely ruined the vibe they were going for. Particularity if you used them wrong.

    Still, it seems kids need that type of ‘creative’ outlet.



  • Human drivers struggle with edge cases also. I’ve seen a lot you drive, and as an old medic who has done his share of MV accidents, I can tell you y’all ain’t that good at it.

    While I have no dog in this hunt, all any self driving vehicle needs to be is just a bit better than a human one to be an improvement and a net win, (never let perfect be the enemy of good enough). And historically, as soon as any new technology becomes affordable, humans adopt it and use the snot out of it. The problem is, humans aren’t very good at projecting future harm that any new tech tends to drag along with it.





  • Yeah, KDE was rough in the early days thanks to QT. But things slowly worked themselves out. While I don’t change much with KDE, I do change a few minor things, mostly I make sure the capslock is off and single click to open is on and I got to have that 3D box to switch my desktops. But I do like the power of easy choice KDE offers.

    Still I do get nostalgic for the old Gnome2 days. So I have Cinnamon DE installed on a low powered mini desktop. And it runs amazingly well.


  • I never understood it either. I was a user of Gnome until Gnome 3 showed up and I decided to nope out of there. It was a simple process of trying few different DE’s and I have settled on KDE and Cinnamon for when I want that old timey Gnome feeling.

    It wasn’t hard to switch at all.
