I feel out of the loop, what's Slackware?

The fall isn't really the issue, you would probably be injured but not dead. That is, unless traffic is moving at 70 mph beneath you, in which case you're almost guaranteed to not only immediately die, but forever traumatize potentially dozens of drivers. I would say the value of stopping traffic is pretty high, and the trucks probably stopped before the police were ever even called if I had to guess Edit: clarity
I don't find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries
Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that's limited to a few declarative distros
I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you're looking for something new. I've been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it's smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works
They are slower, produce more heat, and waste more energy. Not to mention the fact that you're actually more constrained on where you put the phone, you can't pick it up to use it while it continues charging. Wireless charging is worse than almost every way, save for the magsafe mounting system they developed. I'll give them credit, that's pretty handy, but in general I don't understand this push for wireless charging
I mean sadly you're right - people like to hate on our defense spending in the US, but who does the world look towards when Russia invades Ukraine? It sucks that it needs to be this way, but if we don't have a strong deterrent to other countries then we're just asking for problems. Look at how aggressive China and Russia have gotten recently, with China inching closer to an invasion of Taiwan. Who's going to be laughing when the US is there to help Taiwan?
I'm lucky - I'm in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I'm getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!
thanks for using Leebra!
