It’s working well to kill the one planet we have to live on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mauna_Loa_CO2_monthly_mean_concentration.svg

Once I “Got” it (and realized the comm this is posted in) this post became good lol

This seems a bit weird because as detestable as Yeonmi Park is, she’s Korean and spends her time spinning lies about Korea. Does she talk about China?

Does this analysis hold for luxury goods? A Switch 2 is not a necessary purchase, and alternatives to it (games and game consoles) can be found for extremely cheap.

I also think Nintendo has even more strong competition today than it used to with the rise of cellphones and app stores. I’d argue those mobile games tend to be crap, but that’s a separate concern from how accessible they are…

I realise somewhat the irony

Do you actually realize the irony of your extremely racist tirade?

“God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,” the former Israeli ambassador said.

Damn, really? Maybe the Democrats shouldn’t have put up a doddering, old, dementia-addled, genocide-enabling maniac for President, then, so that there wasn’t the whole candidate-switcheroo last second. Let me go blame myself for this.

If in the future you think you might bring family/relations onboard to the password manager, it may be worthwhile to pay for a BitWarden family plan. BitWarden is really low-cost and they publish their stuff as FOSS (and therefore are worth supporting), but crucially you don’t want to be the point of technical support for when something doesn’t work for someone else. Self-hosting a password manager is an easier thing to do if you’re only doing it for yourself.

That said, I use a self-hosted Vaultwarden server as backup (i.e. I manually bring the server online and sync to my phone now and again), and my primary password manager is through Keepassxc, which is a completely separate and offline password manager program.

Edit: Forgot to mention, you can always start with free BitWarden and then export your data and delete your account if you decide to self-host.

You might notice that your Windows installation is like 30 gigabytes and there is a huge folder somewhere in the system path called WinSXS. Microsoft bends over backwards to provide you with basically all the versions of all the shared libs ever, resulting in a system that can run programs compiled from decades ago just fine.

In Linux-land usually we just recompile all of the software from source. Sometimes it breaks because Glibc changed something. Or sometimes it breaks because (extremely rare) the kernel broke something. Linus considers breaking the userspace API one of the biggest no-nos in kernel development.

Even so, depending on what you’re doing you can have a really old binary run on your Linux computer if the conditions are right. Windows just makes that surface area of “conditions being right” much larger.

As for your phone, all the apps that get built and run for it must target some kind of specific API version (the amount of stuff you’re allowed to do is much more constrained). Android and iOS both basically provide compatibility for that stuff in a similar way that Windows does, but the story is much less chaotic than on Linux and Windows (and even macOS) where your phone app is not allowed to do that much, by comparison.

the number of times i’ve seen a scratched lib turn fash surprised me… at first.

If Trump is walking the “way way worse” path on Palestine it’s only because Biden laid the path down for him in the first place.

hey man remember when the democrats were in the house and senate and obama was president and they dismantled ACORN? haha damn that’s wild, bro.

Just yesterday I asked Llama 3.3 70B params how to do something. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be able to tell me the right command to run because I knew beforehand I was asking it something really obscure about how to use tar. I gave it all the relevant details. Imagine my surprise when it… told me the blatantly wrong thing. It even invented useless ways of running the command incorrectly.

You should just maintain awareness of how much you’re using. I think 32gb ram + 32gb swap is ridiculous, frankly. Fedora by default sets zram up to 8gb, with no other swap space configured. Works very well that way.

Personally I’d also probably not ever set up more than 16gb of swap space. If I’m somehow hitting that limit it’s because I actually just need to buy more RAM.

At this rate it seems like I will also never be upgrading from the 1070. Miners, NFTs, supply chain, AI, tariffs… how is an honest guy supposed to just buy a decent GPU when squeezed between all that bs?

Braver than the troops.

After learning about the absurdity of copyright law in the USA I’m not really convinced or compelled to give a cent to these companies. It’s not just paying for the content. It’s giving these big corporations money so that they can lobby for laws that are against the interests of most people.

Italy seems to be leading the way to an even more bleak future. “Bleak future” seems to really be the order of the day, huh?

Does Incus allow you to use a VM with a GUI? One thing that’s nice about Proxmox is I have one VM with a very basic lxqt setup for when I need that, and I can either use remote-viewer + the spice protocol to access it or access it through the Proxmox web ui. That’s been very handy.

I like Lemmy a lot, but when you share a URL it’s just an ID number. Compare that to Reddit, where you can get a lot more information on what you’re about to look at just from the URL alone.

Are there any plans to make Lemmy URLs more meaningful?
