EarlyOOM is great for keeping systems responsive. I can't understand why the default memory management on many distros still seems to be "do everything possible to avoid automatic termination of processes even if that means the system becomes borderline unusable." It makes for a terrible user experience, and most users are just going to restart the machine when it happens rather than try to struggle through a slide show to manually kill whatever's causing the problem.

Superman 64 was a game before its time. It's actually kinda fun in VR.

Another factor is this: Where do the physical goods come from that USAID sends? Answer: US businesses. The food? US farmers. Weapons? US contractors. Medical supplies? US suppliers. All the money "given" to foreign countries by USAID is actually given to Americans, buying their goods in order to give them to foreign countries. It's a huge economic boon that flew under the radar all this time. By destroying this program, Musk and Trump are gleefully destroying the livelihoods of thousands of Americans, if not millions after their efforts collapse the food supply and possibly the US dollar if they try hard enough.

That's not even getting into things like USAID providing medical supplies to developing nations dealing with communicable yet curable diseases like Tuberculosis. Destroying these diseases in the developing world helps protect Americans. To walk back that work is absurdly shortsighted.
