What should ideally be happening would be rehabilitating them in an environment that doesn't constantly reinforce the idea that they're subhuman garbage.
Just did a test using the command the author listed. Benchmarked on ArchLinux and got 0.00s. I then did the same test on MacBook Pro and got 0.332s. I feel like that's pretty bad. 0.332s might sound inconsequential, but that's just for a single echo command. I would imagine it gets exponentially worse as your executable grows in complexity.
AppImages are definitely the best, I just wish they had an easier way to integrate with the system. I know about appimaged, but I had problems settings it up, and it's just not as easy as integrating Flathub into Discover, or getting your packages from the CLI by accessing your distro's repositories.
This is mostly my experience. I'm 18 and a lot of the people that go to my school only know how to use social media, and come to me when they need tech help. My closer friends are more tech literate, but they still come running to me when they need help with something more complicated. I supposed I should be happy that they even have interest in getting help. Most would just give up.
I always thought the elves in Styx: Master of Shadows were a cool subversion of elven tropes. They're very dark and otherworldly looking, almost vampiric.
Totally. American cities we're built with cars in mind, and it's really crippled their potential. Densely packed cities with subways and a lot of vertical freedom are the best way to build. They prevent deforestation because you don't need to expand outward, and they help with pollution because you can have maybe a couple hundred metro cars instead of millions of individual cars. I'm not sure how this would be implemented now though, because like I said, American cities have been crippled by their car infrastructure.
I think self driving cars are a ridiculous solution to a problem we created and doesn't need to exist. The US building out the country for cars wasn't a good way to do transportation. If we just had trains going from city to city and subways in the cities, we wouldn't even need self driving cars.
Although it's subjective if you find it nice or not.
