Would be funny if in the future only non-nvidia cards supported PhysX.

“Despite”?

People close to me use the term “therian” for what is colloquially called “furry”.

Both.

In civilised countries you can still be tried as a child when you are deemed too immature.

Don’t know how it is in France but in Germany this can be the case until you are 27 years old. So while you are for most purposes an “adult” from 18 onwards even a 26 year old can be seen as adolescent. Because the law knows that not all people are the same.

1 out of 3 are actually a myriad of Indian engineers?

A company that collects and categorises addresses and sells them to other companies for advertising purposes.

Depends of course. But when I moved states to get closer to my in-laws I looked for programming jobs in the nearest city. There were exactly two available. One was for an address broker. I only applied to the other one.

Primitive Technology can also select their tools for maximum gain. Apparently it’s relatively easy when you’ve got the right woods and kindling.

When you’re somewhere in the wilds your wood might be too hard, too soft or too wet or whatever.

Probably. And with the next version Lemmy as well.

GPS and similar systems are just big atomic clocks flying around the earth, shouting their time down to earth. A GPS (or other) device just needs to know the current time and the position of the satellites to calculate its own position.

The most control the US ever exercised over GPS was to encrypt the more precise parts of the satellite’s timestamps so that only military devices could get really precise positions. They stopped doing that when other systems went online. That was for the whole world, including its own citizens.

China’s system can’t be used for spying. It’s as passive as GPS. These things are harmless. No amount of control can be enacted through them.

A sentiment that wants to end democracy has no right to participate in that democracy. Yes, that sentiment has to be fought with ideas as well. But Germany knows too well from history that a democracy can be ended through democratic means. That is why these instruments were implemented in the first place.

Maybe still effects of the one-child-policy times. It’s probably much easier to punish people for having too many children than it is to incentivise having more.

There’s a villain in the DC universe who is actually an immortal caveman. But he uses his immortality to learn the languages and customs of the area and era he is in.

I think Piefed supports that. Multicommunities. Was already a thing on Reddit that was calle Multireddit, I think.

It’s stupid to not just use all the available systems. Don’t just support Beidou. Use Beidou, Galileo (European), GLONASS (Russia) and GPS. Makes lock on faster, increases precision and helps if one doesn’t work for whatever reason.

The US cannot just shutdown Iran’s usage. That would impact all other countries as well. GPS consists of only about 30 satellites for the whole world. Starlink satellites are much much lower and can thus be more easily associated with one country.

How TF can you shut down GPS for just a country? That’s not how it works. And the US doesn’t get paid or sees your position or anything when you use their GPS. It’s an entirely passive system.

Well, that hopefully made them smile!

Can’t be bothered to translate it all. In short, a fly flew into my nose and dragged an ungodly amount of snot out with it. With narry a handkerchief in sight.

My best friend described it as: “I thought your brain was running out!”

Me: searches for something, clicks on “show unwatched”

YouTube: Here are the last six videos you watched about that!

Yeah. We laughed at the “would you still love me if I was a worm” question. But there are many people who actually do get a truthful answer to that question.
