Depends on what you're using it for. Fedora's release ver upgrades are fairly seamless. Just a big dnf update really.

Meanwhile I have a bunch of servers stuck on CentOS 7 that are going to need to be completely rebuilt by next summer. I'm also limited by them because the pdf generator I use requires a version of libpango that was released in 2019 and EL7 is stuck on the 2018 version.

I switched from Rocky to Fedora Server because I was sick of running into compatibility issues with dependencies that exist in the Fedora repo and not EL.

Specifically postgres. One of the projects requires postgis and gdal, which are in the Fedora community repo, but I have to use the official postgres repo on Rocky and the people that maintain those repos are literally incompetent. They have an automated script that generates all of the packages and they can't even be bothered to double check that the packages are built against the correct version of postgres, so your install will fail because a PG14 package is looking for a dependency that only exists in the PG11, PG12, and PG15 repo.

It won't work as live action, and Sanderson is probably a little cagey after working on Amazon's WoT. He would need to have absolute control over the writing.

Wax and Wayne in the style of Fullmetal Alchemist would be amazing though. Comedic but also serious.

For the nearly $1500 spec they tested you can basically get a Framework 16, with much better upgradability and a 2560x1600 165hz vrr display.

I pay $10/month for copilot because it saves me a lot more than $10 in time not spent typing out boilerplate or searching through garbage documentation.

It frees up my mind to focus on the actual software architecture instead of the quirks of the language.

China, the country that is increasing the number of coal power plants they build every year?

Ohh is that why boost still works? I should reinstall it.

To be fair if anyone is motivated to discover flaws in testing methodology and publicly disclose them right now it's Labs.

I want to see AI Voyager episodes like people are doing for the Simpsons and family guy. Basic 3d models interacting with each other using generated dialog.

Just Janeway and crew wandering the Delta quadrant violating the prime directive in the name of coffee.

My Reddit usage is highly correlated with whether or not I'm at my desk.

I feel like I need to wash my hands after opening the official Reddit app on my phone.

It's getting hard to do just between AMD and Nvidia on Windows.

I'm old enough to remember the days when reviewers showed macro shots of the wires in half life 2 to test AA between different cards.

Does anyone even test that enabling "Ultra" settings results in the same configuration across vendors/generations? I'm pretty sure LTT Labs found cases where it wasn't.

I don't know if it works differently in the US but the best way to build your credit score is to not take on debt.

Keeping your credit utilization low and not missing any payments is the key. It's an indication of how likely you are to meet the payments.

If you max your credit cards out and just pay the minimum amount, carrying thousands of dollars of debt and as a result can't get a mortgage or a car loan because your credit score is shit then the system is working as expected.

At least it's only the off site resources. As someone who works with credit card processing online and has to deal with BIN attacks those proxy IPs would get banned pretty quickly both by us and the credit card processor. We already have issues with people using free proxies.
