$5000 is not even enough for trauma counseling, unless you have expensive insurance!

cc is generally used by the C compiler on the box. I'd suggest renaming it instead of overriding it or provide some suggestions.

Same setup here, minus Nvidia. Love KDE with Wayland. Super stable. Tried Gnome, but switched back. Gnome felt like it was 20 years ago in terms of functions tho UX was still posh.

Ah, OK. I was never an Facebook/Instagram user, so thanks for explaining that.

> Looking at the big picture, the researchers think the whale’s heart is performing near its limits. This may help explain why no animal has ever been larger than a blue whale – because the energy needs of a larger body would outpace what the heart can sustain.

Fascinating to learn such details!

Wait, people trust communication via Instagram thinking they are secure?

> Senior judges at the Supreme Court in Delhi have threatened consequences over the use of AI

Setting AI aside for a moment, this reflects a broader issue in India and elsewhere. When institutions respond to new technologies with anger or threats rather than systemic thinking, it signals a deeper problem.

The real challenge is not AI itself, but how complex systems adapt to change. Instead of reacting defensively, institutions should anticipate second-order effects, build regulatory capacity, and treat this as a governance and systems problem.

Mature institutions approach disruption with foresight, incentives, and feedback loops, not emotions. Without that shift, they risk reinforcing outdated hierarchies rather than serving the public effectively.

We use it in cuisines from India, particularly from Tamil nadu, as well. Lotus root, seeds, the petals, pretty much all.
