I know. That’s my point. A great example of this is when they used to brag about how eco-friendly their product were. I remember them bragging about their displays being mercury-free, BFR free, etc and their laptops having totally recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures - only to later deliberately make their laptops nearly impossible to repair and upgrade.

Ah.

They didn’t switch to USB-C out of the goodness of their hearts. They switched because the EU passed a new law that requires that new smartphones have USB-C ports.

No problem! It’s kinda funny that you mention that it’s in Debian Sid. I was running Debian Bookworm when I installed CoreCtrl and I actually installed from source.

If you don’t know what you’re drinking, it’s probably dark roast. Dark roast is like charcoal compared to light roast.

The coffee most folks use (i.e. Folgers, Maxwell House) is low-quality coffee made in haste to keep the price low enough for folks to be willing to buy it. They only offer darker roasts because disguise the inferior nature of the beans, or rather the inferior process. The unfortunate truth is that good coffee costs more to process because it takes longer to process and most folks don’t want to spend that much on coffee. So, you get what you pay for.

That’s interesting; kernel 6.4 enabled VRAM overclocking on my 5600 XT while disabling it on the 6900 XT.

So far, I’ve really only tested my VRAM overclock in the Nova: Covert Ops, but I’ve noticed that the cutscenes run a lot smoother. Before, there were a few that were a bit choppy, but now, they’re buttery-smooth!

Yeah, he’ll beat deadlines by a longshot.

I think you need to try some lighter-roasted, higher-quality beans which were roasted fairly recently and only grind them a day or so before you use them. There are also different brewing methods and coffee/water ratios that you can try.

Try Math.round. It’s been like ten years since I used Java, but I’m pretty sure it’s in there.

I used a program called CoreCtrl. I don’t think it’s in any distribution repositories, but you can install it from source, which doesn’t take too long. Though, you will need to add a special boot parameter to your GRUB file.

They’re not pointless for the laity at all.

Church services are for religious education. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure why masses were conducted in Latin until the 1980’s - despite Latin having died out centuries ago.

At best, Latin masses are more about the traditions of man than religious education. At worst, Latin masses are for religious obfuscation, rather than religious education.

It’s impossible to be educated in a language you don’t speak.

It would be one thing if all Catholics were required to learn Latin in school, but they’re not. Since Catholics aren’t required by the RCC to learn Latin and the RCC never taught it, most Catholics never learn it. The ones who do learn it do so either to learn more about the roots of the English language or because they intend to enter a scientific field.

Latin is a beautiful language which a lot of traditional Catholics find more reverent than, for example, English.

Latin is also a dead language.

Most people - Catholics included - don’t speak Latin. It died out at least five centuries ago.

I myself prefer a good reverent Novus Ordo mass to a Tridentine one, but if I understood Latin well I would likely prefer the Tridentine.

You’re only proving my point. Latin masses don’t benefit you. They don’t benefit most people - Catholics included. They haven’t benefited most people for centuries.

I have a dislike for the church, not the laity (churchgoers). Regarding masses, I meant that masses were conducted exclusively in Latin until the 1980’s - which makes those masses pointless for the laity, as Latin has been a dead language for centuries.

I was referring to the days when the Catholic Church kept the Bible in Latin and hunted down anyone who had a copy of it in a local language, burned their Bible, strangled them to death and then burned their dead body at the stake to intimidate the public. I was also referring to the fact that Catholic masses were conducted in Latin until the 1980’s.

I didn’t mean it in a good way.

That’s very Catholic of them.

It doesn’t exactly help that there’s like 5-10 of each kind of thing.
