There's a saying about broken clocks

MenacingPerson ,

But they're playing pretend

MenacingPerson ,

Isn't that no. the exact attitude a lot of boomers have for technology? Look where that got them.

MenacingPerson ,

That's meant to be injected.

MenacingPerson ,

I just add it to my nix config

MenacingPerson ,

Your comment is kinda racist.

You think about India as a call center scam country because that's mostly the only personal experience you have with Indians.

Also, Indians are more commonly known for social engineering scams than anything. (which is also a pretty racist stereotype).

MenacingPerson ,

Is there a word like ethnicist? Hmm

MenacingPerson ,

I think it’s bad form to call everyone who disagrees with offshored work a racist.

They're mostly just shitting on one specific nation, due to ideas formed from questionable stances.

MenacingPerson ,

I've been using ublock on the same browser for over a year now and I'm only at 2.3M. What kind of sites are you guys on?

MenacingPerson ,

So americans have no balls

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

MenacingPerson ,

I guess that's an OERGAsm

MenacingPerson ,

Is this a JoJo reference?

MenacingPerson ,

India has gigabit fiber

MenacingPerson ,

I'm not the same dude that was talking about banddrifts and congested poles.

Indian, btw.

MenacingPerson ,

Also ~100Mb/s is in no way the average speed in an Indian household. It's usually lower. I also don't see any specific mentions of india in your link up there to that random site.

MenacingPerson ,

But to be honest, not every child is technologically-inclined. Most are just gonna get annoyed and hate it. This is not a good idea.

I'd have loved it as a child though

MenacingPerson ,

Exactly this. Barely any child would have cared about free software or whatever. I'd be concerned for the ones that did care.

MenacingPerson ,

I use arch btw

Linux mint shares all the flaws that are common to every Linux distro

MenacingPerson ,

I'm not undermining your point in the first sentence, I was just saying that I use arch, btw

Linux mint shares a few ubuntu bugs, and even if you use LMDE someone like a child cannot understand the essence of linux in a controlled environment.

I'll repeat. You cannot teach linux in a controlled environment to a child.

MenacingPerson ,

Oh awesome. Leave it to lemmy to be pedantic.

I obviously meant normal linux distros when I referred to linux. Not chromebooks or android.

Also, using those is in no way the same as learning linux. In a chrome book you'll just be using a browser. In a phone, all the apps are locked down and you have no access to cli.

MenacingPerson ,

Yeah, that's nice to hear.

But that's not necessarily a controlled environment.

MenacingPerson ,

I never said the objective was to learn Linux. The objective is to use it.

Well you were replying to a comment of mine where the topic was teaching children linux.

You can get terminal access on a smartphone.

A child will never bother doing that.

You can also run Linux apps on ChromeOS now. It leverages containers from my understanding, a technology baked into the modern Linux kernel.

Yeah, I never said it couldn't.

No it’s not pedantic you are using a true scotsman fallacy.

It's not a true scotsman fallacy when neither chromeos nor android actively & openly advertise themselves as "Linux". Yes, they are linux and that has been acknowledged, but not advertised.

MenacingPerson ,

That's not what I mean.

MenacingPerson ,

You also severely underestimate what children are capable of. I installed my first Linux distro, and taught myself HTML and CSS while still in primary school. I don’t think you have any idea what children can do. I could probably outclass most adults with technology when I was 16 or so.

Um, I started using linux on my own when I was 9-10ish years old. I know perfectly what a child is capable of. But an average child will not do that.

MenacingPerson ,

Snapper works on all distros with BTRFS

MenacingPerson ,

Wait, let them keep thinking it's 2020

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

MenacingPerson ,

I don't know dude, some of those sites are unbanned.

Besides, you can get around the ban by using cloudflare warp

MenacingPerson ,

those cost money, cloudflare warp is free and it doesn't really matter just for porn

MenacingPerson ,

Does it really matter?

https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/privacy/

Regardless of whether you believe in their privacy policy or not, you'd only be using it to browse porn in this situation. it's not that bad.

MenacingPerson ,

It's an ancient mysteryyyy

MenacingPerson ,

you're replying to yourself. liar.

MenacingPerson ,

what's wrong with session?

MenacingPerson ,

Oooh. I was pretty sure they used to just use tor directly... Weird.

MenacingPerson ,

Not enough. We need a new voyager disc.

MenacingPerson ,

It's got updates!

MenacingPerson ,

INAL

IANAL actually

MenacingPerson ,

Electric cars don't idle

MenacingPerson ,

Lights will be on, typically you will be listening to something on the entertainment system, passengers will also using whatever features exist but just multiple screens on while the vehicle is “running”

yeah that's different. I was talking about the engine/motor.

Lights and sound will barely affect an EV battery. maybe you'll lose 5 miles (at most) of range.

MenacingPerson ,

No I get your point. But there are a few details.

The need to stop your movement, then get back up to speed aka stop and go traffic is going to absolutely gut your mileage, EV or ICE.

Regenerative braking is supposed to help. I don't really know how much though, so ignore my point here

Elon Shithead is trying to sell a ridiculous vehicle and is a shithead

LOL this is completely true though. I'm never buying a tesla. there are better EVs.
