The naturalist fallacy is annoying, fr. It’s tempting to point out that oft claimed “traditional” authoritarian systems are relatively recent inventions and not how humans have lived for most of our existence… but that doesn’t mean that how people did used to live is some ideal to live up to. Shity coercive and extractive systems aren’t shitty due to being unnatural, they’re shitty because they’re coercive and extractive.

Like, we can decide what our priorities are and craft our society in a way that best achieves that. I don’t really want to live on a diet of foraged roots and nuts, and I don’t want 95% of people alive today to die to make that sustainable.

They donated to a bunch of different Linux projects. A few were run by shitty people, notably hyperland. They didn’t really handle the discussion about it well.

Some of that may have been fixed since last time you tried. Like, stuff is moving really fast right now. A lot of things that used to be stand alone fixes have been upstreamed.

Debian derived distros tend to move a lot slower (for the sake of iron clad stability), so even if something was fixed a year ago it might not be fixed in Mint, Ubuntu or the like.

Arch based distros like catchy will show what’s working right now.

Again, like, it still might not be to a point where you feel comfortable with it as a daily driver, but it’s still worth checking on from time to time, just to see if the issues you had have been fixed.

“Investigation reveals that many people think using an automated system to commit cyber crime some how absolves them of responsibility.”

“Yah but the non deterministic system just did that all on it’s own… after i told it to do exactly that… and gave it a connection to the internet through which to do it.”

Repeated violations of his rights, no warrants, no formal arrest.

Fuck all the way off. Zero case.

Ok, but republicans aren’t… super strong in minasota? Like it’s not a solid blue bulwark, but, it went for haris in 2024 by 4 points.

In what world is it going to swing red with trump dragging down the republicans so hard right now?

Like running a trump approved wacko is probably the worst option.

Have you changed the UI scaling at all?

I got my mountain bike that I stuck a mid drive motor on, and some hefty saddle bags. Was my main grocery hauler for a while. Moved recently and I’m only a few blocks from a grocery store now.

My contraption gets a bit top heavy when the saddle bags are fully loaded because the battery is fairly large and back rack mounted. At some point I’d like to get a battery that mounts low inside the frame to lower the center of gravity, and just only put the big back battery on when I want to make a long trip.

No, it would not be possible, the etching process would destroy extant features on any silicon. There are multiple steps to it and some will destroy the work of the steps that come after, so putting a finished chip through would remove the existing features.

Generally fabrication is done on a circular 300mm wafer, printing a grid of identical chips on it that are then cut out. It would be highly inefficient to do each chip one at a time, doing one small chip or 50 chips at once on one wafer takes the same amount of time and effort.

And the bare silicon left after the first few steps isn’t really worth much. You can go buy a blank high end 300mm wafer for like 81 bucks online. The material value of the silicon is nothing compare to the machine time.

Over all, box office sales are declining, so it’s easy to chalk up this to that trend over all and argue that people will watch the movie some other way, and Disney will still make their money back on streaming and parks.

But those parks and streaming make their money based on over all cultural relavence.

Arguably declining box office sales are largely driven by a declining relevance of the major producers who have consolidated so much of the industry. If 90% of the major films in a year are made by 2~3 companies who are all doing fairly similar things, and people aren’t interested in what they do, then it drives people away from theaters as a whole.

So even if this poor box office performance isn’t an outright failure due to other revenue stream, it is part of a larger trend of the entire industry being destroyed by corporate consolidation and an uncompetitive environment.

Damn, it’s almost like finacilizing everything was a mistake.

I mean, team fortress two was the first game in the series. Team fortress “1” having been a mod for a different game.

He’s reporting on it and trying to help the victim get restitution.

Ah, I hadn’t even considered that Xdotool would be… well for X11. Thanks mentioning this, so I’ll know what the problem is next time I try to use my auto clicker script and it doesn’t work.

X11 and Wayland are the bits that handle windows, mouse inputs and stuff around graphical user interfaces. They’re what makes GUIs work.

X has been around since the 80s and is throughly decrepit and just does not support a lot of modern functionality. If you’ve had some issue with your windows and display being janky or monitors not working properly, it’s probably due to X11. It works for the most part, but there are just a lot of situations where it creates issues.

Wayland fixes a lot off issues because it is built to handle modern situations better. If you want to see an easy example, if you’re on mint with X11, go to settings and set your UI scaling to some uneven value like 136%, you’ll probably see some weird buggy stuff happen. That’s the kind of thing Wayland fixes.

The style of ground meat certainly was, but, there are no records or references to it being cooked as a patty and served as a sandwich in Hamburg.

The first references and evidence we have for it absolutely come from the US, wether it be menus, mentions in news papers, or other textual evidence.

Lots of different claims as to who did it first, but who ever it was, all the historical evidence shows that the concept originated in the US. Probably none of the people who claim to have invented it actually did, but, we do have records from the time that show the concept spreading between diners along the east coast.

The burger was not an import from Germany, rather, many ground meat products were referred to by a German city name, Wiener (Wein being Vienna), Frankfurter (Frankfurt), Berliner ( US president John F Kennedy), ECT

So when they made a sandwich using a style of ground beef introduced by immigrants from Hamburg it got called a “hamburger”, but the practice of frying a ground beef patty and making a sandwich out of it is not from hamburg.

Raccoons, possums or corvids.

Raccoons are just great, little treasure pandas. I would to live to know what they see, what their internal worlds are like.

Possums because they’re an ancient linage of marsupial, an isolate and they would sure have some ancient lore and deep oral tradional.

Corvids because I wish to understand the inner machinations of their devious bird brains.

maybe people should vote more strategically in primaries so half the party’s base don’t feel like they’re voting for the lesser of two evils in the general.

People still voting for republicans at this point will not hold their representatives to account over favoring billionaires, it’s a nothing burger as far as they’re concerned, not an issue for the realm of politics.

Democratic voters, as the poll shows, do care and can be convinced to hold their representatives to account, if the representatives ignore it, they are liable to get primaried.

Where is the effort and attention best placed? What is most likely to produce results?
