Compared to (parts of) the US, we might aswell be.

Why the downvotes

I for my part downvoted because it's just false equivalence. Cutting down a part of a commercial forest is pretty far from completely cutting "every single forest" in Sweden.

Is it great that trees were cut down without replanting? No.

Is there a perfectly cleared and infrastructurally connected plot of land in Brandenburg that Tesla could have used instead? Also no.

Your comparison was basically the same as "We sell a plot of land to Elon? Why not just sell every plot of land to him then!".

Fair enough. Im in devops and the first thing I thought about was Jenkins, where "server" and "agent" fit quite well.

I dont think master/slave is that good of a naming scheme for fault tolerance either, since the "slave" doesnt do work so that the master doesnt have to, but it's rather an active/reserve kind of thing.

But I also admit that using different terms that fit best for every usecase would only cause more confusion than good.

We're using server and agent, but im also a proponent of "captain" and "crew"

Im running Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 5 (i5 7300u, 8GB) with the linux-surface-kernel.

Generally, things pretty much worked out of the box, the only tinkering I had to do was to optimize battery life / cpu power usage when not plugged in. Theres packages that will limit your CPU frequency depending on the status of your battery. I dont remember the exact name, but it was pretty much the first hit I googled "linux limit cpu power" or something like that. Without that, the battery life wasnt great, especially when watching YouTube, but with some tweaking and the proper h264/h265 drivers, my surface achieves some 3-4 hours of video playback right now.

Other than that it's smooth sailing all the way.

As the inspiration yes. But Minecraft hunger games was the first to do it in gaming while also reaching maybe not more people than the movies, but definitly spreading to communities that the movies and books didnt reach (e.g. i didnt watch the movies until well over ten years after I had played my first game of MC hunger games)

I couldnt find a release history for the Minecraft mod, however according to the following article, it was released about a year before the original PlayerUnknown mod for DayZ / Arma 3.

Minecraft Hunger Games, although a mod, is responsible for the Battle Royal hype aswell.

So Minecraft caused Fortnite twice - once as a survival crafting and building game and then as a Battle Royal retaining some of these elements

Putting GrapheneOS on the Pixel is good advice though
