When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.

Yeah, and a Matrix instance
I've heard it the exact opposite. Freedom to is positive freedom which tends to be a more social leftist or social liberal trait. Negative freedom (freedom from) is typically a more modern right wing or libertarian trait. But also you could have libertarian leftists or anarchists that lean more towards negative liberty, as well as fiscal conservatives that lean more towards positive liberty on social issues, so it's not fully a left/right thing.
Basically the difference is enabling people via common social framework that gives people options and social mobility vs complete non-interference by government or any other entity even if it limits options and social mobility for anyone but yourself due to their life circumstances.
Here's a quote from the Wikipedia article on positive liberty that backs up this interpretation of the to/from distinction. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_liberty):
"Erich Fromm sees the distinction between the two types of freedom emerging alongside humanity's evolution away from the instinctual activity that characterizes lower animal forms. This aspect of freedom, he argues, "is here used not in its positive sense of freedom to but in its negative sense of 'freedom from', namely freedom from instinctual determination of his actions."
I don't know that I agree with that premise but it's an example of the to/from dichotomy being used in relation to positive/negative freedom just so you know I'm not making anything up.
It's simultaneously possible to realize that something is useful while also recognizing the damage that its trend is causing from a sustainability standpoint, and that neither realization particularly demonstrates a lack of understanding about AI.
"Return to work". Motherfuckers, they were already employed. 🙄 I bet CNBC is one of the companies that had a controversial RTO policy. I utterly resent these attempts at trying to normalize deceptive language for return to office schemes subconsciously, like people that don't want to return to office aren't working somehow and it's somehow their fault it's a problem, and not the fault of an inflexible employer.
Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn't mattered for decades dude. Companies don't give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it's completely misaligned with how they operate.
Brb moving to Denmark
You'll call a Phillips a Phillips but not a Robertson a Robertson or an Allen an Allen, smh
True although in Canada we tend to refer to the colleges in collegiate universities as faculties, and so the word college remains dedicated to the separate kind of post secondary institution the other dude described.
I didn't invent that take if you think it's strange. Ironically these interpretations of liberty originally came from European philosophers, originally Rousseau I think, so take it up with them. 🤷🏻
I don't think they were thinking about in terms of freedom from hate but more like creating social structures that enable freedoms and try to balance out everyone's rights, like the right to exist, in the face of something like hate vs eliminating any social structures and cutting out any middle man that would not allow someone to hate whichever thing and whoever they want to.
🙏🏻
It's funny because most of us on sites like Lemmy and Reddit are also extremely full of ourselves except most of us don't have a PhD. Who the fuck are we to judge.
I was just thinking, streamers might have to be careful actually — you can often both see and hear when they're typing, so if you correlated the two you could train a key audio → key press mapping model. And then if they type a password for something, even if it's off-screen from their stream, the audio might clue you in on what they're typing.
As a non-American, US intellectual property law feels absolutely ridiculous to me sometimes. It feels like it incentivizes all the wrong behaviours.
Just about any place I know that uses C++ also does that with C++ so that's nothing unusual for C++ specifically. It's too big of a language to reason about very well if you don't, so you've gotta find a subset that works.
Ugh. I've been wanting to switch for a while but that's a bummer to hear. I might just have to bite the bullet and deal with buggy drivers. Back when I got my monitors like 6 years ago there wasn't a ton of options for sub-5ms IPS displays with adaptive sync technology so I had to go with Acer Predators and G-Sync but now I'm kinda stuck with NVIDIA. I'm sure there's more options for monitors now but I'm not dropping that kind of money on monitors again.
Unless something has changed? Is GSync still proprietary? (Edit: looks like G-Sync does work on AMD cards now but only for newer monitors, dang.)
Ironically, I remember not long ago it was AMD that used to have the crap Linux drivers.
I think it's right around how much they were selling brand new Decks for during the summer sale, so it would make me want to wait for a future sale probably. Or rather I think it was 10, 15, and 20 percent reduction for the low, mid, and high end options respectively. I wonder if they'll reduce the costs of the refurbs during future sales.
I don't know man, I'm not a doctor. They just had a Discord already so I assume they wanted one.
The weird thing is, I'm not sure any customers actually do care. it genuinely just feels like engineers finding ways to masturbate over how thin they can get something.
Did they? I think I remember some authors no longer taking payment for them. Maybe some others took theirs down of their own accord. I don't remember hearing about Google themselves taking anything down
Maybe, but Microsoft's competitors are doing a lot better on the battery life front so they're leaving a lot on the table for competitors to swoop in by not fixing their sleep and wake issues. It was a big consideration for the company I work at to go with Apple machines because they do lots of field work and need the machines running all day. I can say from experience it's incredibly frustrating to leave home with my MS Surface on a full charge only for it to have majority of the battery drained by the time I pull it out of my backpack due to waking up when it wasn't supposed to.
I mean you could certainly have both but Linux treating its terminal as a first class interface is a big killer feature of Unix/Linux I think and why it's still used in the server/dev world so much. Having a command line interface that's not an afterthought, fully scriptable, and can be automated is very convenient for large tasks that need to be chained together whereas on Windows you have things like PowerShell where not every program you want to do things with in PowerShell has a way to interact with PowerShell, since in Windows you have the opposite problem of GUI being the only first class interface. I think I'd be worried that if you de-emphasized the terminal more you'd get the weird situation that happened to Windows and PowerShell whereas it's usually not super hard to build your own GUI around an open source terminal program. A lot of people aren't especially motivated to do that so some programs don't have GUIs, but if you're feeling like more programs need one then go for it.
Agreed, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Any more crises with any of the major social networks will just continue to build this place up more. I think it's too big now to fade into obscurity and is just going to continue to grow, even if it's not as large as the mainstream stuff.
It's a feature of a lot of parliamentary systems in general. It's honestly nice to have the shake up when things are at a standstill in parliament, even if the sometimes constant elections are annoying at times. It also helps to have more than just two viable political parties, also.
But, they choose monsters to represent them
Afaik, like over half the population of Palestine wasn't even alive or were children when that decision was made and nobody has been given a decision since, at least not the kind of decision that doesn't involve becoming a martyr and deading yourself in exchange for deading another person.
I would give everyone noclip mode.
Convenient because you can fly anywhere and through walls. People's commutes would be so much shorter! You could visit any country you wanted without even needing planes. Everyone would experience an unprecedented level of freedom.
Inconvenient because of the messy implications of getting stuck in walls if you turned it off at the wrong time. Also people would probably just be able to take anything they wanted without repurcussions so the world might devolve into chaos. You wouldn't really be able to jail anyone. Security and privacy would be hard to come by.
The math only really works for 18+ inch pizzas though. The pizza places around me don't even offer 18 inch pizzas. 14" large or 16" XL are the highest they go. In that case at most places near me, two twelves is often cheaper per square inch and does have more area than one 14" or 16". Especially since Domino's usually has coupons for two 12s that make it significantly cheaper than 1 L or XL.
True but sometimes the tortilla rips open and the foil provides solid backup
Yeah. Or just use a password wallet.
Mozilla has been bullied exactly this way in the past into implementing DRM measures I believe.
Daddy Druckmann must subsist on meals of mainstream praise and developer crunch, how else would Daddy Druckmann survive.
The more people get into it the less valuable it becomes is the thing. But others pointed out there's a ton of other reasons it's problematic, like the need for those other jobs to exist to actually, like, have a functioning society.
Edit: Also arguably a lot of the low hanging fruit coding positions aren't as lucrative as they once were. People with experience are doing well. New people are having a tougher time getting their foot in the door compared to 5-10 years ago.
Parliamentary systems don't imply proportional representation necessarily. Commonwealth nations like Canada and the UK use the Westminster system, and use a first past the post system derived from that tradition for example. It simply depends on the country and who decided on the details of the electoral system.
Larian has had several massively successful Kickstarter
Well that's the thing though, right, the genre actually literally had a major revival when Kickstarter became a thing. Before Kickstarter existed no one really understood the power of crowdsourcing.
Nah the hiatuses have been a good thing. Futurama has remarkably mostly avoided a zombie Simpsons or Family Guy situation.
I feel like GIMP was a depraved person's creative exercise in designing a UI and workflow as fucking shit as humanly possible and then leaving it like that for a couple of decades while continuing to develop the program.
But in reality I know it's probably due to the complexities of maintaining such an old project with limited resources and volunteers and I'm grateful something like it even exists.
I certainly have seen some older people say things like "it's not a problem at all" after being thanked, meaning their efforts to help didn't put them out or anything. "No problem" is maybe a bit more shorthand/slangy I guess but otherwise it just really does not seem like it should be controversial at all to me.
And trying to get by on a single income is a fucking nightmare for a lot of people.
A lot of my leftist friends will still let the bad be the enemy of any sort of good whatsoever it seems. It's exhausting as a leftist when you can never be outraged enough for other leftists.
That's one of the reasons wrestling fans prefer the term scripted or staged as opposed to fake. It still requires tons of athleticism, and lots of wrestlers are still taking very real hits and injuries despite trying to minimize the impacts of them.
