10 months agoI have used Kagi for several weeks and can’t go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don’t want to lose that again.

plot twist
The way you play is entirely up to you, but that’s the point. Are you who you say you are? It’s easy to say whether you’ll flip a switch or push a person when you’re answering questions at a desk, but it’s suddenly much harder when you’re actually faced with the problem. What will you choose?
2·10 months agoStart today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.
You can always try Linux risk free in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.
If you like what you see, and you have any valuable data backed-up, you can try dual booting. That way you get to use Linux as your primary operating system, but can switch back and forth as much as needed.
I found I was dual booting Windows and Linux for over 3 years before I was comfortable enough to stop using Windows entirely. Switching to Linux doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. You can take it as slow as you want.

Lithium batteries scale power and capacity at the same time. Flow batteries can scale power and capacity independently.
The advantage of flow batteries is that they can have enormous capacities without the added cost of upgrading the power, making it ideal for grid scale storage.
Even if this new flow battery reaches the energy density of a lithium battery, and can output sufficient power, it would still need to reach price parity to be competitive.
Adequate for cargo flights, not happening any time soon for passenger flights. Aviation safety is very strict and slow to change.
Flow batteries are great for long duration storage, but not good for high power delivery.
This means they will work far better as grid storage than as EV batteries.

I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn’t behave like a human.
This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.
Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. LMDE is being built alongside Linux Mint and is based only on Debian.
Linux Mint and LMDE are functionally the same, but LMDE is protection/insurance against Ubuntu doing something stupid.
I highly recommend Linux Mint (cinnamon) as an entry level Linux distro. It looks and feels similar to Windows, and it’s based on Ubuntu, so it has a lot of support and compatibility.

It depends on your country, your budget, your definition of good, and your driving needs.
A second hand Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt are more affordable, but don’t suit everyone’s needs.
An MG4 is a great budget new car, but can be out of some people’s price range.
A Polestar 2 is a comfortable option from a manufacturer who cares about the environment.
A Porsche Taycan is a performance car for a fraction of the price of a petrol supercar.
There are plenty of good electric cars. Don’t buy one with subscription features.
Windows kept doing things I didn’t want it to.
The last straw was when I had a 24 hours render running, and Windows decided to update and reboot 1 hour before it was done. I was using the computer at the time, RAM, CPU, and GPU were all at max, the mouse was being moved, I clicked “later” every time the update pop-up appeared, and it still rebooted.
Linux does what I tell it to, and doesn’t do what I tell it not to do. I didn’t think that was a big ask until Windows.
This would be business as usual for Australia. They have been repeatedly violating multiple conventions when it come to the treatment of asylum seekers.

The current cost to drive a car with green hydrogen from electrolysis (not blue or grey hydrogen from methane reforming) is roughly equivalent to $50/L (AUD) for petrol, or $120/Gal (USD) for gas. This is one of the reasons most hydrogen today is made from fossil fuels.
Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.
