Mint offers 32bit support, unless you’ve got a really old cpu.

Interesting. This could be a decent secondary use for my VPS

Ok so what is pangolin? I’m only familiar with the animal and its role in the pandemic.

Edit: someone doesn’t like jokes I guess?

So to provide further context, PCs have tables that can be checked to see what hardware is located where. Phones don’t have this, and if you try to query the wrong component or the right component at the wrong address, you can crash the whole device.

PCs were this way too, before PnP/PCI/ACPI tech showed up.

Loading Linux on a Pentium with a bunch of ISA cards was NOT a guaranteed win.

Send abusive kids off to camp with vulnerable kids, stick them in a cabin and say goodnight? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

What the heck is a residential treatment school? Summer camp for suicidal kids?

Don’t worry, Americans, even though Trump’s tariffs apply to imported gasses, we’re not charging you for this so it’s a 50% on $0.

You’re welcome! Enjoy the free carbon vapor!

I’d say it’s about 10% as effective as a cup of coffee for my ADHD symptoms, and coffee is about 25% as the low dose concerta I take…if I drink one coffee per hour for the entire work day.

Math says: don’t do it.

I quit smoking cigs a decade ago and would never consider using them for ADHD over coffee…and I only use coffee if I’m out of concerta

Not just that, but how does that exclusion not also create instant reasonable doubt?

It happens regularly. The most notable ‘tidy’ example I can think of would be when the Governments of US and Canada ‘bailed out’ General Motors. They did exactly what I’m talking about; they created a new legal entity called NGMCO Inc. which purchased almost all the Assets of the ‘old’ GM, including trademarks, names, websites, etc.

The key here is that the selling company was bankrupt. In such a case, the creditors want to try to get money back out of their ‘investment’ so the asset sale is done to cover debts. Selling liabilities generally doesn’t raise money for those creditors, so often after the money is all sucked out, whatever remaining liabilities exist are functionally void. Legally they remain until the corporation is dissolved, but with no ability to act on the liabilities (ie., no money to pay) this doesn’t functionally matter.

The ‘old’ GM changed it’s name to ‘Motors Liquidation Company’ and retained the liabilities. Shareholders of the ‘old’ GM were left holding the bag, so to speak. Technically, it was further split into trusts to ‘handle’ liabilities, but realistically ‘old’ GM sputtered out holding liabilities while ‘new’ GM carried on with minimal penalty.

You can have less ‘tidy’ cases as well, where substantial parts of a company are sold in an asset sale/purchase but leave behind a working company. In those cases the liabilities are not functionally abandoned. Disney purchasing FOX, for example.

This is the exact reason GM still exists.

If the new owners purchased the assets, name, and technology and not the company itself, then it’s beholden on the remains of the old company to honour the deal… Good luck with that.

That is so far beyond predatory…the only reason to let this exist is to create wage slavery.

No it’s not. Look at the court level in which it was shown.

If you want to make an omelette, you might have to fuck a chicken.

Wait…

I’m still waiting for my butter robot.

You’re assuming corpo America will drop the prices after. They won’t.

That’s not automatic

See, this is homage/parody.

Is your premise that people cannot see the errors of their ways and therefore cannot change? Or are you presenting facts in an attempt to imply that all this time there’s been a shadow Nazi government? Or…? I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but during the war years, everyone had to be a member of the Nazi party. All youth groups that weren’t official Nazi organizations were banned.

In the years between WWII and German reunification, there was an active effort to stamp out Nazi ideals in the West. Children learned in graphic detail what atrocities were committed, and many of them took those learnings to heart. To this day, spending on military in Germany, surveillance by the state, are fraught topics. German politics couldn’t be further from a 1 or 2 party system.

What was informs but doesn’t dictate what is. I have spent a lot of time in Germany, and I’m certain that in spite of the rise of AfD, Germany is the European country furthest from Nazi ideals.
