I’m starting to think maybe I’d prefer Brave New World over the current reality. At least the people are happy and not miserable.
Until I’m reminded we still have some power in numbers, and speech isn’t completely censored yet.
Though the future is basically BNW but with no soma. The soma will be UBI. Enough to live, but not enough to afford to rebel.
Don’t mind if I do!
buys more options
The other day I was bored and asked AI to play a game. Then I ended the “conversation” because I realised this “game’s” environmental impact. If it was clean energy-powered I’d find a way to run it in perpetuity to waste OpenAI’s money, but the environmental impact is more important
I’m a Linux user, and while that would also be win for me, I’d be really happy for Windows users to finally stop having what amounts to a rootkit and spyware combined, to have to play games.
In some ways, I’d almost describe him as a role model. I’m sure many people would agree that they have also held grudges towards the modern ruling class and have wanted to offer a similar response. Perhaps he is the first of many. After all, of those who became billionaires, I would only spare a small number (there are many billionaires who simply inherited their wealth and are not guilty of sacrificing people’s wellbeing to amass greater wealth).
The [new] venue is considered safer than the medieval former religious school where the party was initially scheduled to be held. It is surrounded by water, making it impossible to reach by land when bridges are raised.
I wonder, if Jeff is a good guy, why is he so scared? If he was a good guy, surely nobody would want to Luigi him (attack and/or murder him) too?
Wait, really? I’d love to see replaceable batteries make a comeback, but something tells me that companies will prefer to up the water resistance instead.
No requirements on replaceable batteries? That’s the main thing that’s missing here. That and making the USB-C port easy to repair, and suddenly you no longer need new phones, just extended software support and repairs.
Yes, give China reason to join WW3. A brilliant idea!
This is it! This is it! If teachers can connect to students, then students will listen, will engage, and will be interested, excited, and ready to learn.
I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying it’s common, but I am saying that I’ve had a total of about 40 teachers before university, and of them, there are only 2 that I can point to, where students at large felt really engaged with the class. And this is why.
Unfortunately, they are also shutting down fakespot, which was far more important but nobody used it or even knew of it
They are removing fakespot as well, which was made to help users spot scams. THAT was valuable but nobody actually used it.
Quote from the article:
Regrettably, a huge opportunity was missed to make all smartphone and tablet batteries removable and replaceable by end-users.
I meant from an idealistic perspective i.e a small and minimal, but featureful WM with a simple config and a built in bar, where all you reasonably need is covered, no useless extras. I think Pinnacle is trying to be an AwesomeWM replacement rather than a Spectrwm replacement. And that’s great, because I love Awesome, but for very different reasons to Spectrwm.
I wonder how complex it would be to convert spectrwm to Wayland…
Sounds like he’s quite experienced in the area
Appreciate the posting on the 2nd to avoid April Fools speculay
That costume is an awesome way of presenting yourself to the community!
Sounds good and all, but seeing as he wasn’t among the most active people since 2008, are we sure there wasn’t a more qualified candidate? Nothing against the guy, I’m just saying that surely there must have been more natural choices than him.
I prefer MAGMA personally
I got quite lucky, as my first laptop when I switched to Linux, was all-AMD and I had zero AMD issues. So when I was looking for a new laptop a few months back, I stumbled upon a cheap recent Thinkpad, with great specs, all AMD, and got it ASAP. Again, zero issues. But because of the Nvidia horror stories I’ve heard, I knew that there would be no Nvidia on my new machine. That was non-negotiable.
Wait, 5G isn’t encrypted? I think it does have some protections still. I mean, not that it would matter to me, they only use NR-NSA in my country so it isn’t even full 5G with all its advantages.
At the risk of sounding like an AI-generated ad, I use an app called Privacy Cell on Fdroid, that confirmed there is no true 5G anywhere in my country. I just wish there was a way to differentiate between the two versions of 5G natively, kinda like 4G-LTE showing up as LTE instead of just 4G.
