Let’s test it out. If you are genuinely interested in an answer to “where did the idea of a 3-day special military operation come from?”, here are some facts and sources. I suspect you put those qualifiers in there so you can dismiss them but let’s find out.

There’s a few along those lines.

• 3 days, and official: a report of victory from state-run media about the conquest of Ukraine, released on 26 feb 2022 (and then quickly removed): https://www.newsweek.com/state-run-russian-news-site-accidentally-declares-ukraines-defeat-1683455
• not Russia but Russian ally Lukashenko: https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816
• not 3 days but a massive underestimate from Putin: https://time.com/3259699/putin-boast-kiev-2-weeks/

“Error”

The racism was always there. The automobile enables the racism to do more damage.

The supermarket can’t exist and ruin the small market without the automobile, no matter how racist society is.

I’d say it’s the automobile that ruined it all.

Racism comes in more with white flight and suburban sprawl. Then it all collapses.

That’s the US and supermarket dominance for ya.

Interesting! I’ve been a longtime Linux user mostly with debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!) And it’s been interesting to me how one small thing or another will do that.

For me it is usually Kerberos / domain authentication things that are unnecessarily tough to set up in one distro or another.

What caused you to abandon Bazzite?

It’s great… if you love Office 2007. But it has too many weird quirks and refuses to make any interesting changes to move forward past that.

I meant more for the layman who is more comfortable with a wysiwyg system. For me it is great, and I think LyX’s “WYSIWYM” concept is wonderful. But I’d never ask a non-IT co worker to consider those.

I adore latex but the barrier to entry is a little too high. LyX is kinda-sorta there but not really.

Good thing they used vinegar then.

Remember the old days before /dev was its own virtual filesystem?

That sounds right.

I’m also mostly familiar with the business lines: Dell Latitude and slightly less with HP ProBook.

Given the context that we were talking about laptop chargers rather than generic power bricks, I think it’s fair to consider standard laptop power supplies. (HP has the same connectors even though their protocol is different, and I’m not familiar with other brands but I expect they are much the same).

Unfortunately, barrel plugs tell you zilch about the power supply they’re connected to. They’re a dumb connector with no data capability whatsoever, and I’ve seen the same size of plug on power supplies with output anywhere from 3V to 24V.

That’s definitely not true: Dell laptop chargers and desktop power supplies do communicate what wattage they are able to supply.

“Uncanny”?

Thank you for demonstrating.

Aye.

That’s not at all true, or at least not something you can rely on as general advice starting with “push the button” even.

If it helps to explain it, Red Hat is owned by IBM.
