There are at least a couple of distros that are based on Ubuntu. Mint is a popular example. I'd say that based on Ubuntu means it is also a Debian derivative.

Perhaps this is what Musk means when it says that empathy is bad.
If your goal is to maximise your own personal wealth, then empathy really is a hindrance. But I put to you that maximising money is not a goal worth devoting a lifetime to. And perhaps not scamming dumb people is a valuable way to act regardless.
(This is essentially what motivated the Quakers to push for set prices for goods rather than constant bartering. They believed that dump people should still be able to go to a shop and buy stuff without getting ripped off. I'd say that moral position has made the world a slightly better place.)
But that will never happen, because electromagnetic forces haven't learned the power of friendship and co-operation. Gravity always works together, but the other fickle fundamental forces just can't decide if they are pushing or pulling or whatever.
That's true, but there is far more energy to gain by fusing hydrogen compared to carbon. I'm not sure how it compares to uranium though. I suspect it might be similar. (I mean, obviously in practice you wouldn't / couldn't actually get the energy from fusing carbon - but we can still compare hypothetically. ... also, I'm sure we could get a clear answer by looking it up; but this is one of those things where thinking about it is probably more interesting than knowing the answer.)
I was thinking the same thing. It's unfair compare chemical energy to nuclear energy. Coal still kind of sucks, but the hydrogen in the others could definitely be used in fusion...
Blocking means that you don't have to devote your time and thoughts to that person. That's pretty valuable. And even if they decide they are going to attack you, not-responding is often a good strategy vs that kind of crap anyway - to avoid getting pulled into an endless bad-faith argument. (I'd still suggest not announcing that you've blocked them though. Just block and forget about it.)
Every tech can be safe and unsafe? I think you've oversimplified to the point of meaninglessness. Obviously some technologies are safer than others, and some are more useful than others, and some have overwhelming negative effects. Different tech can and should be discussed and considered on a case by case basis - not just some "every tech is good and bad" nonsense.
I'm not suggesting that we ignore the problems. I'm suggesting that we don't let trivial things, such as playing a computer game poorly, distract us from the problems. This post is not an example of behaviour that needs to be confronted.
Maybe; but either way it means he gets to have more air-time and head-space.
Being disliked for someone trivial, such as being bad at a computer game, doesn't really translate across to more important things. So that reputational damage is shallow and unimportant, but maintaining his position as being newsworthy is powerful and useful to Musk. So I agree with the other guy: better to not fuel these discussions about trivial junk. If you want to keep talking about Musk, then stick to stuff that matters.
I don't have an account there, so it's surprising to hear that it has pizza smeared all over it.
So intimate and close, you can still smell his presence.

Heh. I just spent half a minute squinting the dark trees in the background, looking for the outline of a car. I didn't realise the picture was swapped.
