Well, yes. There’s no take backsies, but showing you’ve dropped off the internet, as sus as it is, also shows you’re done with all this, and makes it harder to prove your current status as “undesireableness” by lack of evidence. The longer you wait to disappear, the more relevant the evidence that can be used against you.
Pretty much… as long as you didn’t do any custom kernel stuff or driver blacklisting or any other underhood voodoo with the boot system.
That only matters if there’s anything to optimize by source compilation. If the program doesn’t have optimization features in the source, it’s wated time and energy.
LCARS interface… that is something I haven’t seen in a loooooooong time
Ah, yes, Linux around the turn of the century. Let’s see…
GPU acceleration? In your dreams. Only some cards had drivers, and there were more than 2 GPU manufacturers back then, too… We had ATi, nVidia, 3dfx, Cirrus, Matrox, Via, Intel… and almost everyone held their driver source cards close to their chest.
Modems? Not if they were “winmodems”, which had no hardware controller, the CPU and the Windows driver (which was always super proprietary) did all the hard work.
Sound? AC’97 software audio was out of the question. See above. You had to find a sound blaster card if you wanted to get audio to work right.
So, you know how modern linux has software packages? Well, back then, we had Slackware, and it compiled everything gentoo style back then. In addition, everyone had a hardon for " compiling from source is better"… so your single core Pentium II had to take its time compiling on a UDMA66-connected hard drive, constrained with 32 or 64 MB RAM. Updating was an overnight procedure.
RedHat and Debian were godsends for people who didn’t want to waste their time compiling… which unfortinately was more common even so, because a lot of software was source only.
Oh, and then MP3 support was ripped out of RedHat in Version 9 iirc, the last version before they split it into RHEL and Fedora. RIP music.
As for Linux on a Mac, there was Yellowdog, which supported the PPC iMacs and such. It was decently good, but I had to write my own x11 monitor settings file (which I still have on a server somewhere, shockingly, I should throw it on github or somewhere) to get the screen to line up and work right.
Basically, be glad Linux has gone from the “spend a considerable amount of time and have programming / underhood linux knowledge to get it working” to “insert stick, install os, start using it” we have now.
Ah, yes, the legendary Star Trek Technobabble
There is also a one man wonder effort to improve the sound work of simulated engines by “simply” simulating the flow of air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11c8mMN1PA
The Veloster was a Hyundai, a Korean manufacturer, and the car was made and imported from Korea, according to the VIN and all the little “Made in Korea” stampings on every part. I got it because it was an economy car with a Dual Clutch transmission.
Exactly! Like, take a basic car, and make it an EV. It doesn’t need to be a spaceship. I just need speed, charge level, maybe a tach or electrical load indicator, and a range estimator, all of which already exist on a basic car’s dash. The head unit can remain a separate device that connects to my phone for navigation and phone. That’s it.
I put the most miles on a Veloster compared to any of my other cars so far - the difference in build quality is still quite noticeable. The car was well designed, but it wore out / disintegrated a lot faster.
My big metric for cars that last is the “stay fixed” metric. On the Japanese cars, typically they “stay fixed” once you do maintenance. I was repeatedly replacing the same parts on the Veloster that no other car I’ve had would ever experience failure on.
Depending on the model and how you maintain them, some Japanese makes very much last a long time with a minimal of expenses.
Having daily’ed American, Korean, and Japanese cars, thw Japanese cars have been the most reliable as long as they are maintained.
A literal Bolivian Army Ending
quite a few models
Nearly every japanese automaker’s cars for several years. Takata airbag recall was a big deal
How much time do you want to spend on linux os maintenance?
You’re supposed to uncheck the save storage space and download files as you use them option.
It’s a nAtUrAl CyClE

Didn’t see a video of it anywhere on the article. Either my browser didn’t support or idk.
