There’s this weird belief that minority parties are supposed to ignore their own policies and just support whatever the closest major party wants. And not supporting the major party means they’re failing in this duty.

So Labor could drop the plan and blame the Greens for it, instead of actually pushing for their own policy. And the media frames this as a failure by the Greens.

The same media that almost unanimously supports Australia’s right wing conservatives, but I’m sure their opinion on this particular point is completely unbiased.

The monk pays with a twenty, which the vendor pockets.

“Where’s my change?”

“Change comes from within.”

So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up.”

“Yes, I’m happy watching others suffer, but this time it’s happening to me! That’s not fair! People aren’t allowed to be happy watching me suffer!”

Lemmy works by sending a message between servers, waiting for an OK, sending another message, waiting for an OK, etc.

That means if servers are on opposite sides of the world and it takes 0.2 seconds to send a message and get an acknowledgement, you have a hard limit of 5 messages that can be sent per second, even if they’re both on 100 gigabit links.

Lemmy.world was sending aussie.zone about 16,000 messages per hour, which is about 4.5 per second. So around 220 ms per message. And it wasn’t keeping up.

Now lemmy.world has… it looks like two separate connections sending messages to aussie.zone, so it can have two messages in flight at a time.

Since that started we’ve been getting two days worth of messages per day, and now we’re caught up.

Yeah, it’s been running at around double speed the last few days, so about 5 days to catch up with 5 days of lag:

Well, you can’t go and ingest the recent internet for AI training. Someone went and filled it with AI slop.

Punching up isn’t bullying.

I’ve heard that’s a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they’re better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You’re not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

“Hey, here’s a useful thing that I recommend to people: <your work>”

It’s basically a compliment

You don’t seem to have an Nvidia Vulkan driver installed.

Your system can see the Intel and Nvidia GPUs, but it only sees an Intel Vulkan device and a software emulation device (llvmpipe).

Proton needs Vulkan for graphics to work.

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it’s Denuvo’s fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

Even if it’s the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it’s a fault with Denuvo.

If one car hits something, it’s a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it’s a problem with the road.

Okay, but if lots of games are doing it wrong, it’s still Denuvo’s fault.

IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can’t give the best power output if it’s too slow or too fast.

You don’t get CEOs and billionaires.

It’s not enough to have more money than you could ever spend, you need to have all of the money.

Well, we have preferential voting, so you can vote for whoever you actually want and put both of those further down the ballot.

I mean, where I work we’ve hired every female applicant we’ve ever had and we’re still at around 98% male. I’m not sure what we could even do about it.

The thread is great.

Tentacles dropped out of the top 25 for the first time. Times are a changin
