The 2022 movie covers the first half of the first book and that theme only really comes into its own in books 2 and 3.

No comment on the level of PFAS aside from

though the levels were low

This is just feeding the outrage machine to get clicks. If it was a story they'd be citing concentration guidelines and telling you what concentrations were found in the products. It's not a story, it's rage bait.

Android has 41% market share in the US. It sounds like you've got some pretty heavy sampling bias going on.

Isn't the recourse to ask the instance admin to intervene?

I don't think waterproof phones are waterproof at that depth.

Richard Feynman had a really good bit about how bad human intuition is about quantum physics. About how we evolved to throw a rock at an animal out on a grass plane, and not to make good guesses about the nature of particles so small we can't even fathom them.

Seems appropriate here.

In Dune, the imperialist "nonsense" was the path to salvation. Genocide by machines was what we were saved from.

I don't really agree that the spice wasn't put forward as a way to salvation. I think it clearly was key to finding the golden path.

The spice enabled the Bene Gesserit to see what was needed in their breeding program, and they were trying to breed Kwisatz Haderach who would lead humanity through a dangerous time, avoiding the destruction of the race. (Also the scene in the sietch that I won't go into detail about, becuase spoilers)

Leto II uses the spice to see the golden path and forge humanity into what it needs to be to survive. (Also the other thing which I haven't mentioned due to major spoilers of a cool moment).

The spice is pretty clearly necessary for the path taken to salvation.

While the spice may not have been necessary to avoid the destruction of the human race had another path been found, in the story as it was told it was absolutely central.

Sure, but they don't just go installing arch from an arch ISO, they carefully curate an environment with a team of experts to make sure it doesn't break.

That's not the experience you're gonna have gaming on Arch on your gaming desktop.

Eh, you're being lazy. Just compile the kernel from source.

The answer used to be John the Ripper, but I'm a decade out of date on this stuff, so it might not be any more.

You are literally the only active user. This is the only post.

The sidebar is one rule with frequent random capitalisation, and a "2:" then nothing.

All that's missing are the tumble weeds.

Sometimes I just don't bother learning new stuff till the old stuff stops working for me. It's amazing how many really simple things people stroll past on their way to god knows where.

It's low stakes to you because you don't care about it. It's not low stakes for the people who set up instances specifically based around building communities with a common theme.
