Change lithium with Group IV elements and that’s also how semiconductors are made: playing around with different impurities.

I mean, you are also trading 2 lifes for 1 life. Indecision has consequences as well, so you have to do a tradeoff.

El Salvador: 1829.9

That’s number is Venezuela’s. El Salvador is 1703.8. Note the data is from 2017, 2 years before Bukele became president.

It is Nightmare difficulty, on a hidden level as well.

It’s more complex than that. A lot of the time the money mainly goes to foreigner companies. I know that happens here in Colombia, where Canadian companies get almost all profits for the extraction of esmeralds in Colombian soil.

Opposing to this in the remote regions where it is happening could get you killed, as said companies usually contract paramilitars to protect their interests, just like Coca-Cola did a few years ago.

They just told you you could be wrong, and to reconsider, in a very respectful way. Chill a bit mate.

They event have the stupid thumbnail stereotype

Soviet Womble expressed the feeling I have against channels like that very nicely: 7:56, in case link with timer doesn’t work

Some games also run better on Proton than their native Linux counter parts (I don’t know is this is the case for Total War)

The traffic data is not as good as it appears. It is completely closed, only given to police and goverment agencies. No API, no numerical values for speed (only 5 ‘color codes’ that are relative to location, so are almost useles) and numerical data is not given even to academics. I spent almost a whole month trying to get actual useful data for academic purposes, but Google really went out in their path to make it impossible.

It has the potential to be an excellent tool: crowsourced real-time data, access to historical data and it is incredibly fine-grained, improving over goverment data (at least in my city) by a 10 or 100x factor. But no, it had to be yet another Google’s tool for spying on people, not giving it away and sell it to police.

It’s a fusion reactor (same mechanism that powers the Sun) powered by basically water (the main isotope of “fusion fuel” is deuterium, which is found in ocean water). It’ll produce extremely clean energy, and the science behind it is just mezmerizing. It isn’t just buzz neither, as fussion-product plasma has been achivements in some labs around the world.

Like, seeing this image and feeling we created a mini-Sun (not an accurate representation, but bear with me) in that small space is… I don’t know, just wow. The Sun, an absurdily giant object fuels itself with complex mechanism and a balance between gravity and fussion, and we will have same object there.

One part of my bias is also because things like ITER really animated me to become a physicist. I do concede that while LHC is the no doubts the winner for me, ITER vs SpaceX is a closer match.

As a bonus, from a broader humanity perspective, it also comes from an international cooperation of countries, including rivaling nations, that came together to fund a project that will symbolize a huge advance in the nuclear field, intead of a single person trying to get richer.

I’m a huge space fan/nerd, but LHC is far more impressive if you consider it to be of our generation. Even if not, ITER takes the spot, IMO (although I admit some personal bias when it comes to ITER).

You reminded me that one time we almost got killer/severely injured in a protest by a stun grenade.

This happened almost same time I saw some news of Israel killing protestors with tear gas grenades, as it fell into their head and skull, inducing lethal damage.

Anyway, I was with a friend and a bunch of people. Everything was peaceful and then, bam, out of nowhere it went to shit. We were used to it, but that time the tear gas was so bad that the neutralizer we brought was doing nothing. We were covered with a wall (bad idea, but we were panicking badly), and I wasn’t able to breath, so I wanted us to run away from there. I told him to let’s just run certain way, and I was so full of adrenaline and ready to run, but he stopped me. 1 second later, a stun grenade fell from the sky just 1 m away of us, in the direction I wanted us to run; no doubt it would have hit me in the head.

After that I just took his hand and we ran away, not able to see nor breath. Me holding his hand was a huge saver for both of us, as we could, more or less, guide each other. We ran some 20-30 m and just fell to the ground, but in a somewhat safe place. We crawled some 10 m more and just rest there. It took us some solid 15 minutes to catch our breath. Never said a word to my family.

Fun times.

Rozo, if you ever read this: queso.

Thanks for telling me lol. I remember sharing your enthusiasm when I started.

If you don’t mind me sharing, here are some tools I use the most in the console:

• htop: resource monitoring and process killing. Mint has a GUI alternative
• btop: better resource monitoring, but worse process killing than htop.
• lazygit: amazing interface for git. Seems hard to get started, but IMO, not at all. There are GUI alternatived.
• tmux: multiple consoles and console manager. A bit hard to get started.
• nano: text editor. Reeaaaallly simple to use, prefer it over emacs and vi/vim.
• grep: you already know this one.
• cronjobs/crontab: allows you to run periodical commands. Say, a cleanup script all days at 7:08 AM.

Also, some GUI programs I love:

• KDE Connect: device pairing with your cellphone and PC. Includes remote mouse input, multimedia control and file sharing.
• Steam: Almost all the games I play on Steam run flawlessly on Linux.
• Stellarium: astronomy/planetary app.

Pick your poison lol. If you don’t mind, we can start talking via ptivate message.

I’m really glad to hear that! Happy Linuxing :)

Hey OP, how did the installation went?

Yes, but both Intel and AMD offer an equivalent (not as mature, though). AMD is FSR and Intel is XeSS

I’ve been very happy with my Manjaro install on AMD GPU, everything worked out of the box on fist try install without any weird step. I would say you could jump straight to Arch/Arch-based, but first research about your GPU compatibility.

(I’m aware of how Manjaro is perceived and its downsides, please avoid comments suggesting me to switch).
