Why not?

… if that’s your thing

Is your mom an archaeologist?
Cause I have a large bone for her to examine.

I’m gonna need the link to that video.

You can buy ancient Roman pottery fragments for much less than that.
Amphorae were the plastic bottles and shipping containers of the ancient world.
Their shards are found en masse in every archaeological dig.

Same with paleolithic bifaces and arrowheads.

Do you actually believe that after specifically seeking out leather boots and then trying to make it work for a year, I haven’t tried that?

I’m gonna need a diagram to understand who’s on which side in this.
And can you circle the good guys in green?

I bought hiking boots that were stiff enough to support me in the high alpine while carrying heavy gear, traditionally welted so they can be resoled, made from leather cause I don’t like GoreTex, from a reputable Bavarian bootmaker. Here’s a pic
And I didn’t realize what the weight and stiffness meant in practice.
Tried for an entire year to make it work, but every hike in those boots was miserable. Felt like having lead feet.
I eventually replaced them with trail running shoes, which were better suited for my purpose in every way.

wait, is liking beige food autistic?

Huh. The President of Nintendo America is actually called Bowser.

I’ve bought a 300€ pair of hiking boots that were definitely a waste of money.

Big cities have more murders than rural countries, more news at 11.

Fedora Silverblue has some issues: They use their own flatpak repo, which only includes packages that satisfy Fedora’s free software guidelines.
In practice this means that the Firefox it comes with doesn’t have the necessary codecs to stream porn video on all streaming sites smoothly.
When you add the flathub repo, you now have a selector for all packages available in both where you have to choose if you want the Fedora or the Flathub version. This would be confusing for your grandparents. Also, when I tried it, it was buggier than I’m used to. Sometimes the software center locked up, or failed to install things on the first try, or update.
Even the entire system locked up sometimes, which really shouldn’t happen on an atomic distro at all.

never is a strong word.

But my vote goes to bicycle tires (if you ride a bicycle at all regularly, doesn’t matter if for sport or commuting).
They’re probably the one thing that affects how your bike rides the most.
Either make it noticably faster, or more comfy, or completely solve the issue of getting flats, or let you ride where you couldn’t before, like off road, through sand, or on ice.
And even really good racing tires are cheap compared to what other upgrades on your bike cost.

The general philosophy behind it.
Ubuntu started out as Debian with some improvements.
Once they were established as the primary Linux distro, they pivoted to an MS-like approach. They tried to invent and implement their own solutions for things that an agreed-upon solution already existed, and was in need of manpower to iron out the kinks (best example is developing Mir instead of throwing their weight behind Wayland, or creating Unity instead of improving Gnome).
They also tried again and again to monetize their OS, which they built on top of millions of volunteer work hours from the Debian project.

All of these efforts failed so far. Their current “we can do it better” project is Snaps, which again duplicates volunteer work instead of contributing to Flatpak which was there before.
I’m willing to admit this one does make sense, since their goal is to make an OS where everything except the kernel and the init system is a snap, something which you can’t do with flatpak.
But I’m also pretty sure that’ll fail again.

If they simply built an OS with a Debian base, newer packages, 2 releases per year, an LTS every 2 years, and a GUI selector for Gnome or KDE in the installer, they’d be the perfect beginner distro. On the other hand, then they wouldn’t make any money.

They were used on boats and in WW1 trenches where matches weren’t reliable due to water, wind or mud.

I bet the others made fun of him at their private CEO get-togethers.

The collapse of the German Democratic Republic was peaceful.
