Possibly the only thing more annoying than Yudkowsky are the anonymous online people who think they figured him out. Many of them are in these threads.

Content = ecstacic when you compare it to the general public these days.

Possible, I guess, although I have 32GB RAM + 8GB swap and I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary at the time.

Both the hardware and software (fedora 42 running cosmic desktop) are kinda cutting edge, so I think an honest crashing bug is more likely.

Fun coincidence, when I was about to write a supporting comment to this thread, my Fedora 42 running on X1 Carbon hard froze without any apparent reason and I had to hard reboot it.

For me Linux surpassed the Windows desktop experience in 1996 and even though Windows 2000 was a pretty good upgrade, I don't think it has surpassed desktop Linux yet. Windows 10 was not bad either, but now that has gone mostly downhill whereas Linux has merely plateaud at worst or has been improving slowly at best.

If you're not humblebragging, perhaps you oughta get a Linux-preinstalled laptop like System76.

If you were humblebragging, check out https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/ and get the Plasma edition.

Well, in a democracy it's important that people who want this can try to make it happen via official procedure, which this is.

That said, the people who want this are assholes and probably in bed with Russia.

I don't know about you, but the amount of self-control I have varies hugely during a typical month. So when I have more self-control, I can choose to help myself during the times when I have less.

I suppose the hit on Bin Laden couldn't have been launched without significant presence in Afghanistan. Why you stayed there after that though was weird. That seems to have been Obama's mistake.
