Without blatant privacy and copyright violations AI wouldn't work. I mean it doesn't really work anyway but it would work even less.

a person can only be so gay

I knew a lesbian couple but one is now a trans man who transitioned a few years after they married eachother. I like to joke that they are so gay they went all the way around to being straight again.

If your goal is to minimize the overall harm to plants through your own consumption the most ethical thing to eat is people.

Reading this I kept thinking "How have I not heard of this?" and then I discovered it's because this sort of setup isn't possible in the US.

Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that's what they use for commercials.

Why do you say that current quantum computers are fake? As far as I'm aware they exist at a small scale. At this point isn't it mostly of a matter of getting costs down and cooling them so you can get enough q-bits to do something really useful?

Didn't they drop support for that almost immediately? Do any modern kernels support PS3 hardware?

Steam Deck wins on everything except performance. I'm considering building a dedicated 'console' PC running bazzite.

The newer Ecobee's can run entirely locally through their homekit integration. I tie mine into home assistant and use it that way. I would never have bought the device if that wasn't available.

If this old version doesn't have that available then I'm assuming people purchased it knowing that it was reliant on cloud services. It would be nice if they offered customers options besides just letting the device turn into e-waste but you can understand why they don't want to burn development hours on a device that's a decade and a half old.

Just another reason to never buy devices that can't function without a cloud service.

If you primarily game using Steam then it's easier than ever on most popular distros. Biggest hassle is likely still GPU drivers. I've never had any issues there but depending on what card you have you may be better off with either proprietary or FOSS drivers depending on what your distro of choice likes to provide by default. After that most games tend to just work, a handful may require you to pick a beta version of proton or something.

If you want to try it and don't want to do a lot of tinkering check out PopOS. It's probably the friendliest distro for gaming out of the box.

Toribor , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Pop_OS is based on Ubuntu. It's developed by System76 which sells linux laptops that run their distro by default so it's very well maintained and polished.

It's a popular recommendation specifically for people looking out to try gaming on Linux because there are specific features built in like performance improvements for gaming and some gaming-specific packages whereas Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse are generally designed to be a general purpose distro. Pop_OS delivers packages as flatpacks by default as opposed to Ubuntu's snaps which are a bit controversial and also uses their Cosmic desktop environment by default (though as far as I know gnome, kde, xfce, etc all still work fine if you have a preference).

Mostly I recommend Pop_OS for people that are new to Linux, don't know about why they might prefer one distro over another, and want to try it out with the minimal amount of hassle. If you aren't gaming Pop_OS is still great but that's one of it's selling points.

In the Ultimate comics Reed actually uses his stretchyness to make himself even more intelligent by creating new wrinkles and pathways in his brain with his powers. He fixes his astigmatism too by just stretching his eyes back in the right shape resulting in better than 20/20 vision. It's kind of weird comic book science but I think it's a cool evolution of stretchy powers, truly controlling and manipulating the plasticity of his body on a conscious level.

That would require Congress to act and Congress is barely capable of accomplishing the bare minimum to keep the budget running so the entire world isn't thrown into chaos. Asking them to do anything that actually protects consumer rights is going to take either an emergency or an extreme electoral shift.

Toribor , 1 month ago

Congress believes it's a national security threat which is probably true but they haven't bothered explaining this to their constituents at all. Ideally they'd pass comprehensive privacy protection laws to setup standards that both domestic and foreign companies would be subject to. Then companies either adjust their behaviors and meet a certain level of transparency or they would be prosecuted under the law.

But no... We get this instead: a confusing and obviously targeted ultimatum with Congress telling everyone 'trust me bro this is the only way'.

This is about banning their ability to do business in America, not just trying to ban access to their content on the Internet itself.

Toribor , 1 month ago

This seems to be the case, but congress is doing an awful job of communicating the danger to the public. There will likely be a lot of people angry at Biden when he signs this if there is no effort to justify the targeted action.

It's a pretty understated horror element of the game honestly. The suit is so powerful but she can sort of just magic it away easily. But then to suddenly be fused to and stuck inside of it? Pretty terrifying even though the game glosses over it pretty quickly.

At least when I do dumbfuck stuff no one is watching or influenced by me. If you're going to be leader of the free world maybe try to keep the dumbfuckery to a minimum or private times.

Even with solar a UPS is a good idea if you're running a home server. You can still get voltage spikes or brief outages. You don't want to lose power when you have a service writing to a database.

That being said a single large UPS is expensive to maintain. For home use I don't go over 1000W on a single UPS. Any larger than that creeps into 'enterprise pricing' for battery replacements.

People who want to kill themselves and don't have access to a gun sometimes just give up and decide to live instead. Suicidal thoughts are not always persistent, they are fleeting. Having easy access to a gun is just another way to turn a temporary feeling into a permanent choice. It doesn't make you more likely to commit suicide, but it does make it more likely that a suicidal ideation turns into a suicidal action.

I want to criticize this but I have multiple production environments with no DHCP and the process for provisioning new servers is basically "Guess an ipv4 address and if you pick one that's already in use the build will fail and you can guess again."

This is arguably better which is a little embarrassing.

You could, but that information gets stale pretty quickly and is tricky to do with the ACLs.

The internet was so ruthless almost immediately on this one. I feel like every newsworthy event has detractors and defenders but this submarine business had literally everyone shitting on them the second the news broke. In a sick sort of internet way it was practically wholesome.

I love FOSS but GIMP and Inkscape aren't nearly as usable or feature rich as the Affinity suite, let alone the Adobe suite.

'It doesn't meet my needs' seems like light criticism but I understand your point. I'm eternally thankful to devs but at a certain point it either does what you need or it doesn't.
