In KDE at least there's a toggle to switch that behaviour. It's in System settings -> Software update -> Apply system updates. If you switch it to "Immediately" you get the standard package manager behaviour. Not sure if gnome has an equivalent.

It's also just prudence when it comes to the allegiance. If America is going to let a much smaller, less powerful ally get invaded and their idea of a "deal" to end the conflict is to cut off all aid to the ally and give the invaders everything they want, then the allegiance amounts to toilet paper. There's no sense breaking your back to maintain a relationship with an ally who is going to give you nothing but dishonor and cowardice in your time of need.

uBlock Origin on Firefox has continued to work for me. It doesn't skip the ad, but it does prevent any ad audio from playing so it's just dead air til it's done. It does have the occasional hiccup where it doesn't resume the music after the ad is done, but it's rare enough not to bother me.

I do also have a PiHole but I don't think that's contributing, as it behaves no different away from my home network.

Subpar selection? I can count on the fingers of one hand the songs I have found on other sources but not Spotify.

I don't even pay for Spotify, but I still use it to find new music because it's hands down the best way to do so. I create a playlist of all the new songs I want and then purchase them all when Bandcamp Friday rolls around. I'm getting all the benefits of Spotify without paying them a cent (my ad blocker even works on it too), plus being as supportive as possible to the artists themselves.

Hydrogen, even with fuel cell/electric, is not suitable for rural car owners. It's only really suitable for vehicles that are constantly running, like freight trucks. Why? Because hydrogen leaks out of any vessel you try to put it in. It's the smallest element in the universe so it slips past the molecules of whatever sealing material you are using. It will even permeate through solid metal, making said metal brittle in the process. And this problem of course gets worse at higher pressures, which you have to use to get any energy density.

So not only do you have to contend with the terrible efficiency loss of using electricity to create hydrogen only to turn it back into electricity again, a whole bunch of your fuel is constantly leaking out during transport and storage. And then if you use cryogenic hydrogen for the best energy density it gets worse again because you can't keep it cold enough. It's constantly boiling off and has to be vented to prevent your tank from exploding.

So even if you solve all the myriad other implementation problems with hydrogen, you're never escaping the fact that you need to use all your fuel quickly or you're setting money on fire as it leaks. Not to mention potentially getting stuck because you didn't drive your car for a few days and now you don't have the fuel to reach a fill station.

Hence why, if it ever matures enough to become actually viable, it will almost certainly be limited to freight and courier type vehicles. They run near constantly and so burn through fuel fast enough that the leakage isn't an issue.

Torque is ancient and not supported on current versions of Android.

I've been using Piston for a long time and I've been happy with it

As the former owner of an E36 and then an E90 I can tell you that the more modern ones still piss oil just as badly. And the consequences can be much worse (read: expensive) to boot.

Because the industrial base for producing critical things like ammunition is nearly nonexistent. Despite USA and European arms support Ukraine has been permanently shell-starved for the entire course of the war. Three years later, even after spinning up some new production, Ukraine's allies still don't make enough shells to get anywhere close to 1:1 with what the Russians fire at them (and that was before North Korea started supplying the Russians)

The invasion of Ukraine has made it crystal clear that Europe's military industrial base is utterly incapable of responding to an actual peer conflict on their own soil, let alone providing a deterrent to wars of expansion outside of it. It would be foolish not to be investing in sovereign military capability in today's world.

Read slower. It was decarbed. The conversion is never perfect, and given that there are much better options available for mushroom induced experiences I would highly dissuade anyone from macro dosing A. muscaria

It might not be the 😵 kind of poison but it is absolutely the 🤮 kind of poison, even when decarbed. I'd describe it as 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫😴😴😴 and definitely not 🤤 at any point.

As someone who does hit the gym, in my experience the majority of people you're impressing with your physique are men. Sure I'd say most women like it if you have it (assuming you aren't too big), but generalising that it's the main attraction would be a mistake.

I've had two different arch based distros have issues when trying to update after long periods. I also had an Ubuntu server fail completely when doing a major version upgrade and had to restore it from backup. But then again I've also had no trouble updating an Ubuntu machine that was a couple years behind.

I'm on Fedora now for my desktop and it's been great so far, but I also do updates at least weekly. My advice would be if you expect to go months between updates your best choice is probably Debian.
