Happy birthday!

Back then I was in elementary school. It was fairly cozy, and life was quite a bit more predictable - classes with friends, extended curriculum, family evenings, lots of play and fun. Coming to visit grandparents on the holidays. When family needed anything at all, my grandmother has always been there, and she is why our family is still so close together, despite her passing many moons ago.

I also got my first ever phone around this time - an old used black-and-white Sony Ericsson, with buttons and 2G mobile connection. Was nice to get my first personal piece of tech. Played around with it like crazy, lol.

Overall, a lot of things have passed since then, some for the worse, some for the better. But I had a good childhood.

Now, how do you feel about turning 18?

Men use AI partners more often than women, as per the article’s content

Content: 31% of young men and 23% of young women chat with AI partners

Classic

I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, it relies on strong spinal muscles allowing one to carry heavier weight, keeps one’s hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against one’s neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off someone.

The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).

Nice!

Next step is to make it not only a set of virtual flat screens, but allow the user to interact with 3D objects

Imagine having that tree in 3D and having screens around it, or something along these lines

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

Also differs person to person, but I think there is a useful highlight in here.

Traditionally being the “dominant” gender, men are expected to show signs of attention towards women to “earn” their affection (which the meme is essentially about).

But when it comes the other way around, it both breaks the social script and gives men something they severely lack - feeling that they matter, that they are worthy of attention, that they can be loved for who they are and not for what they do. And when someone is ready to break traditional norms and actively wants to give you something you never even hoped to receive, it lets the guard down pretty rapidly.

Overall, the solution to both, in my eyes, is for women to show more of such behavior, normalizing women initiating relationships and showing their affection from the start.

The reason men often go after women despite being refused is that culture often mixes “no as no” and “no as playful yes”. If women would be casually able to initiate relationships, signals would get much clearer, sparing everyone a ton of discomfort and allowing to actually build the culture of consent. Also, there would be less space for manipulation through abusing people’s needs.

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

If God is truly this powerful, He’s a psychopath.

He can create us perfect and kind and loyal, and specifically chooses not to. Instead, He bullies us into serving Him, going for a murder spree in the meanwhile, knowing full well it is entirely avoidable.

All to show how much He loves us.

Yet Trump has to live on?..

Trinity is messed up in so many wonderful ways tbh

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Me. Introversion doesn’t mean individualism. We can support the community in many ways, we can participate in it and bond with it. And this makes us stronger.

Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.

Not quite a serious city building game, but Islanders is about building the most efficient city, and it’s made in a cutesy solarpunk aesthetic.

Works perfectly smooth on Linux.

I feel this way about religion.

It is literally being bullied by a supernatural creature that doesn’t even exist. Do X, do not do Y, else the entire wrath of the Almighty will be upon you.

And at the same time the Almighty can do absolutely anything they want - mass murder people, sleep with anyone, get everyone drunk, tell father to kill the son - because what, are you gonna defy or question someone who else destroys you and tarnishes your soul for the rest of eternity?

The good is replaced with compliance, because an authoritative voice says what’s good and you better obey. 1984 type shit, invented millenia before.

Backups and High Availability come to mind.

If there’s any other place you’d be allowed to install a second node on, ideally served by another ISP (since we talk about remote access), you can do that. This can be your friends, or family, or someone else you trust.

Just have 2 NAS devices with equal drives in each and let them work in a high availability cluster. This way, you’ll have near 100% uptime and a backup in case something goes wrong.

Sure, that is more expensive, but it gives some peace of mind while keeping control of your data. Additionally, with this configuration you don’t necessarily have to build a RAID array if money is a problem, so some costs can be shaved off (Though it never hurts to still have it if you can afford it)

Made me buy a used 10tb drive recently.

Screw them all, I will have a place for my data and I won’t pay them a dollar for these shenanigans.

Yeah, Russians refer to space (the thing up above) as “cosmos” (which also happens to be present in English), and spacebar as probel (i.e. a white/blank segment)
