  • I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

    Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.





  • It’s a pretty standard process to have some parts installed “loose” and tightened at a later time. It could be to ensure fitment, add rigidity or even just to protect the mating surfaces from the elements during transport.

    Also it’s probably not just because Boeing is gonna open them up that they don’t fully secure them. I haven’t seen the specs but it’s quite common to have a reinspection requirements when disassembling something that was fully installed for stress and damage.

    Pretty much nothing in aerospace is left to communications. The assembly manuals are not just complete, they are painfully exhaustive.









  • I’ve come to peace with the fact that I’ll laugh way more watching a movie like this or “The Shark Side of the Moon” than any serious comedy. And I mean like belly laugh, not “lol” laugh.

    There’s a sort of delight in watching a scene that you just know someone said after the nth take “good enough, we’ll fix it in post.” And forgot that the post processing budget was a pack of beer.
