Cacti are more difficult than other plants to grow.

All community distros are someone‘s hobby.

Garuda has a very different focus than Cachy. Both are some extras on top of Arch.

Mandrake is a name that has freed up.

Is there a distro that sets this up well by default?

Manjaro will become even less well maintained because the people working on it will spend their time managing this crisis instead of doing productive work on the distro.

Social status alone is a reason to try and keep it alive. You might have had an influential and powerful role as a Manjaro forum mod, package maintainer, server admin, etc. Switching to a different distro means you will have to start at zero and work your way up.

AI government assigned wife as a default.

People will outsource their thinking, decisions, everything to their AI overlords.

You will have no agency and be happy.

Yes, but AI arranged.

Why would you use BTRFS over ZFS?

Tinder scanning my photo library, reading my diary and social media. Then it automatically generates perfect pictures and text for my dating profile. Then an AI bot looks at profiles for me and chats with other AI bots to set up dates. It then automatically adds a date to my calendar and makes a reservation in a restaurant. Nice.

Sharing and creating playlists with friends. Discovering new music. Endless playlists of high quality for all genres and moods. Family plan is cheap.

If I were a Manjaro dev, I would just jump ship to EndeavourOS, Cachy, or Garuda.

Garuda is pretty great if you want a nice experience out of the box. Can recommend.

Looks pretty cool and functional already. I like their principles.

All of Typst has been designed with three key goals in mind: Power, simplicity, and performance. We think it’s time for a system that matches the power of LaTeX, is easy to learn and use, all while being fast enough to realize instant preview.

GPS is mentioned.

Yes. I am actually surprised we haven’t seen a major terrorist attack in a western country using remote controlled or autonomous drones for example. The technology has been available for years now.

3D printed home made guns like the FGC-9 and Urutau have been around for a while now, but remain marginal in gun crime.

As you say, the cat is out the bag and on the internet forever. However homemade guns and instructions on how to make them have been around for decades.

Velocity and range are also my main questions, as well as tracking quality and speed. The video doesn’t demonstrate it hitting a flying target.

Common MANPADS like Stinger, Strela, etc. use infrared tracking. The seekers are high performance and fast but need complex supercooling with gas. Using a MANPADS you only have seconds, to arm, aim and track, then fire the missile against a fast moving target before it‘s out of range. These can hit low flying supersonic jets.

Still this project is very impressive and hints at the possibility to build cheap low end MANPADS that can target slow moving strike and observation drones, maybe helicopters.

It’s another indicator, that mass produced cheap precision weapons are a major trend in warfare.

You don’t need to ban 3D printers. Restrictions and licensing requirements for making, using, owning rockets and guidance software are enough.
