I’m far from an expert but from what I understand, it’s hard to really define the generic similarities since it’s not a contiguous chunk of DNA that’s the same. It’s piecemeal and fragmented. So it makes sense that even the experts in the field would have arguments about it. Nonetheless it does seem like the three of us are closest, but the specifics are still being researched.

Article from 2012:
Chimpanzees now have to share the distinction of being our closest living relative in the animal kingdom. An international team of researchers has sequenced the genome of the bonobo for the first time, confirming that it shares the same percentage of its DNA with us as chimps do. The team also found some small but tantalizing differences in the genomes of the three species—differences that may explain how bonobos and chimpanzees don’t look or act like us even though we share about 99% of our DNA.
It seems to vary. I had few issues with my 2080Ti but my friend had nothing but issues with his 3070. He switched to an AMD card and it worked without issue. Nvidia doesn’t put nearly as much emphasis on their Linux support as AMD does, but that doesn’t mean that Nvidia cards aren’t usable.
You mean Stephen Hawking?
I switched full time to Linux last year and primarily use my computer for gaming. It’s been great. I play games through steam so YMMV with other systems. I haven’t had any issues playing a variety of games such as Factorio (built for Linux), GTFO, Horizon: Forbidden West, PEAK, Ready or Not, Plate Up… It’s been rare for me to have an issue. I remember an issue trying to play Plate Up via steam remote play.
When I interviewed at a company some years ago, the commute would have been ~an hour on a normal day (potentially longer if I did park-n-ride). I was very forward about wanting to only come into the office once or maybe twice a week. The manager I was talking with brushed off my commute time by basically saying that the commute wasn’t that long and he knew others that commuted much longer. That was a huge red flag for me and I did not proceed with them. I don’t care what others will tolerate. If management is going to ignore concerns like that, I don’t want to work there. It was really apparent that he wouldn’t let me work from home more than maybe once a week if I was lucky.
My computer graphics/computer vision professor in college (two classes, same professor). He treated us as people, explained the logic behind his teaching style (and grading), was extremely knowledgeable and approachable. A lot of professors end up having a sort of air or mystique around them that can make them harder to approach 1-on-1. Usually it’s no fault of their own, they’re just in a position of power and authority over the students.
This professor really tried to bring his students in by making us feel like we belonged. He actually described his class as the same class they teach at MIT. The only difference was the students and their drive.
In the computer vision class, there were only about 8 of us and we all did terribly in one of his exams. The next class he asked us directly and openly what he did wrong and how to make things better going forward (tl;dr: more examples). I really respect teachers who admit their mistakes/failures and then try to correct them.
US police (including border agents) are stealing things from citizens. It doesn’t matter if you have bank statements or receipts if you are dealing with someone who will just steal your shit and claim legal immunity.
I have been running Linux full time on my gaming PC for a number of months now. I have found only a few instances where a game hasn’t worked. I know that certain games won’t work because of their invasive or Windows specific DRM, but for me personally I don’t want to play those games anyway. Some examples of games I can play without issue: Horizon: Forbidden West, Brotato, Plate Up, GTFO, Dome Keeper, Noita, Enlisted, Power Wash Simulator, Risk of Rain 2 …
I highly recommend this game! I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed it. I think I recommend it with more than one player
Colorado enshrined the right to abortion and removed anti-gay marriage language from their constitution.
Probably not super unique but a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. If I’m in an accident or I come upon one, I want that ability with me.
PSA: you can also block publishers (and I presume developers too)
I always interpret it as “I NEED”
If they came from Asia to the Caribbean via the Pacific, how did they traverse North America? If they came via the Atlantic, how did they traverse Europe, the Mediterranean, or Africa?
Every so often I listen to Lady Gaga. I really like a few of her earlier songs but haven’t listened to most of her discography.
I hate that music and gender are somehow connected, but unfortunately that’s the world we live in. Anyone who gives me crap for listening to/doing/etc. “girly” things is a person I don’t want in my life.
When driving don’t be nice. Be predictable.

Around a year ago I got fed up with Microsoft forcefully pushing unwanted and privacy-invading “features” on their users. It scared me to continue using it. I wanted more control and more protection for my privacy. So I decided to install Mint.
I’ve dabbled with Linux in the past and use it extensively in my job, but hadn’t switched significantly to it in the past. One of the biggest blockers being games. I bought a Steam Deck a couple of years ago so I was needing increasingly confident that Linux would work for gaming to some extent. It ended up working very smoothly and I haven’t looked back.
I still have my dual boot, partially because I haven’t bothered to remove windows fully. At this point there’s very little reason for me to not into windows. I’ve only encountered one game I’ve wanted to play that didn’t work in Linux and that was an old game with mods. I might be able to get it working if I really troubleshooted it, but it’s not that important.
