I’m dubious of faster than life travel being for reasons beyond our understanding of physics. If there were a reasonable way to do so 1 race anywhere in the galaxy could have colonized the entire galaxy or at least a substantial portion thereof in only a few million years. If it is possible it seems to suggest that life is so rare that there are very few forms of higher intelligent life in the galaxy at any given time and probably relatively few ever.

Flatpak isn’t going to have every library, cli tool, or even every GUI tool. I think in the end out of date just isn’t worth it.

I’d like to see non-synthetic benchmarks showing real world performance increase in otherwise as close as possible to identical systems

Why would you think soldering would increase performance vs socketed at all much less provide “much higher performance”

If soldered was the only option ans 6 skud was enough for everyone everyone would have to buy very expensive hardware to increase one spec instead of smart people getting to mix match and upgrade.

I don’t think anyone imagines WW2 could have been averted if only we had placated Hitler harder why should ww3 be avoidable by placating Putin?

If anything this is ideal Russia is breaking their back on our weapons but retains a trivial route out without any declared conflict.

If we could have convinced them this would happen ahead of time we could have avoided conflict entirely. As it stands the biggest obstacles to eventual peace is the notion that if Vlad just waits it out Republicans may regain control and collaborate.
