I know I'm working against the flow with my #nvidia 2080 and Linux, but I hate when drivers break stuff. Giving up on #kdeneon and trying for #bazzite now. Might end up on #PopOS if this keeps up. I really want #kde6 (which takes kubuntu out of the mix), but driver support for Nvidia / #wayland seems spotty on my setup. 😩

Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱@Techaltar in my first job in the semiconductor industry I worked with wafers pretty often, and one time I accidentally dropped one on the floor.
It made the most incredible sound.
The wafers are nearly perfect crystals, so when it hit the ground it sounded like glass breaking, except at only one frequency. Absolutely bizarre sound. I'll never forget it.
My point is, if you've got a spare, you should try dropping it on a hard floor. But also understand it's a real pain to clean up. 😁
@relay kinda surprised John found “nippon” before “nihon”.
How does @siracusa feel about the American pronunciation of “anime” and “manga”? Given that Americans *could* produce them the same way as the Japanese without having to use unusual vowels or spellings and they still seem to have settled on a different pronunciation anyway? Like, if one pronunciation is just as likely, does matching the native pronunciation offer even a tie-breaker?

Just thinking about cloud apps like Microsoft 365, Dropbox etc. and how we now have a generation that doesn’t know what performance looks like.
That’s pretty sad.
I have a 10 gig pipe to my *desk*, running an ultra low latency enterprise network stack, with high-end current generation hardware and the majority of my work is done in… electron and web apps.
By god it’s depressing.
