  • That would make a lot of sense IMO.
    I know there are people who are fit at a higher age than that, like Bernie Sanders.
    But on average I think it’s detrimental to society to have an average age among law makers that is 66 years old (Senate). AVERAGE!
    I’m not so far from that myself, and I’m fit as a fiddle. But I can still see how it is detrimental to progress to have politics dominated by people who are OLDER than me!
    I have no idea what young people are doing nowadays, apart from being wrong on the internet of course? 😋
    But I hope they value environment healthcare and a living wage more than those 66 year olds do.

    Will it make a difference? IDK, but it doesn’t seem logical to have policies deciding the future to be set by people who are in the last part of their life. The future should be decided by those that actually have one, instead of those that could/should go on retirement tomorrow.

    To put it in more practical terms. policies that decide the future should be decided by those who expect to live, work and have children in it.


  • Raspberry Pi specifically supports Linux, and has its own Linux distro, and that is awesome.
    But they have their own boot process, so the Pi support for Linux cannot be transferred to other Arm devices. And despite the good support for Linux it took them years to get 3D supported on the graphics side.
    Raspberry Pi is very much an exception from the rule. But there are some others like Pine 64.
    But when you move to laptops or even Arm phones or Tablets the support is abysmal, unless it SPECIFICALLY suports Arm.
    Arm PC’s do not have the same boot process as normal PC’s and laptops, and AFAIK that already is a problem. Arm PC’s are locked in harder.
    On Raspberry Pi it’s allowed to install whatever you want, so you can easily install your preferred distro.




  • Sad to hear Biden is in pain, I wish him well.

    But this just proves It was moronic by Biden to want to run for a second term. Almost as moronic as people voting for Trump.
    Biden broke his promise to not run again, and by doing so he ruined the democratic process in the Democratic party, forcing Harris to become the candidate without a proper campaign.
    And the democratic values in the Democratic party were already questioned by many.
    If the Democratic party would pull themselves together and actually live up to their name, that would be wonderful.



  • Why do you think that? Last I heard these Arm laptops have all sorts of problems, and they apparently also have boot lockers.

    This is what Google has to say about it:

    Running Linux on the Acer Aspire Go 15 (AG15-Q31P)—which features the ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon C processor—presents significant hurdles. Because Snapdragon ARM chips require specialized upstream kernel support, device trees, and signed drivers for components like the Adreno GPU and Wi-Fi, out-of-the-box mainline Linux compatibility for this specific entry-tier ARM platform is currently experimental and incomplete.

    Edit:
    To the Idiots downvoting because I show the AI result, but have nothing to offer on the issue themselves. 🤡 🤢

    This thread on reddit says the same thing, although there are disagreements:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1nrva4o/are_qualcomm_snapdragon_supported_on_linux/

    But clearly not solid info that would make me risk buying a device that may or may not work.
    Pick your poison.

    Edit PS:
    I also don’t see why Fedora would run better than other distros? Maybe they have an excellent Arm team IDK?

    USA has become an openly fascist nation, and Americans are accepting it, reluctantly maybe, but still overall the Americans are accepting being an openly fascist country now. Where the execution of the law is for the regime alone to decide, and if you oppose it, you become a target.


  • And people who are lollygagging or jaywalking which has already been the case for a long time now.
    Actually just being near where they are is basis enough. And if you complain about it, it is reason enough to kill you.
    Let’s just admit that there is nothing protecting anyone from ICE. It’s like claiming Germans had protections against Gestapo during WW2.



  • First per the article you linked, the religiousness among scientists typically vary from a third to half of the general population.
    Clearly indicating that religiousness declines with higher education.

    But apart from that:
    So you are saying that because some scientists too are superstitious it proves superstitions are valid?

    Let’s take a concrete example here, one of the most brilliant scientists of all time, that solved the problem of AC electro motors and generators when nobody else in the world could. Nikola Tesla was highly superstitious and would favor numbers 3-6-9, and avoid stepping on cracks in the pavement, and he hated pearls as he thought they had magical properties.

    Am I more intelligent than Nikola Tesla was? No of course not. But that doesn’t mean his superstitions were rational.

    If you look at larger scale on the countries that are the least religious in the world, you will see that several polls show the Scandinavian countries are among the absolute least religious. They are also among the highest educated, and they score very high on happiness and just about every measure about the quality of society.

    On the other end, Africa is the most superstitious and religious continent and also the least educated. Where you can find stories about goats being judged in court, because they think it is a wizard that transformed himself (yes literally!).

    Obviously there are also non religious scientists, and all research shows that on average religiousness drop with higher education.
    By your post I’m guessing you are religious yourself. And I’d like to ask how and why you chose your particular religion over another religion?
