Probably because they want to be able to maintain users during device switches. Given much of the world is on an annual or bi-annual cycle it'd suck to lose your users each time.

Haha that is some app name!

Thankfully there's nothing particularly special about Elons DNA and so whatever they produce from it will be an especially sub-par human.

Elon, like Trump, are cut from the same cloth: family wealth.

Don't be naive

I just installed syncthing-fork from f-droid and it worked flawlessly as far as I can tell:

1. "Export" in syncthing
2. Uninstall syncthing
3. Install syncthing-fork from f-droid
4. Import in syncthing-fork

Fuckimg depressing that probably 1/3rd of people didn't vote. And of the 2/3 of those that did - most of them voted Trump.

So basically a minimum of 1/3 but more likely more than 1/2 of Americans wanted Trump and the Republican Party to represent them. They voted for:

• Russian dominion over Ukraine and further aggression on its neighbours
• Chinese genocides and aggression on its neighbours
• mass deportation of vulnerable and productive members of society (he calls them immigrants)
• men controlling women's health and avoidable deaths
• oppression of LGBTQ+
• racism
• fraud
• corruption

Why? Because they believe that Trump is going to make them richer.

Nice people.

Asking mastodon users whether they'd choose AI over Privacy is like asking Elon Musk if he'd rather end poverty or buy another mega yacht.

Reducing the amount of narcotic gases in your mix so you don't act like a drunk idiot when in a life threatening situation.

Those narcotic gases are nitrogen and oxygen (although there's only so little oxygen you can have....and also only so much!)

Edit: extra info: oxygen and nitrogen are narcotic at depth, nitrogen is better understood and so often we talk about nitrogen narcosis, which tends to start hitting people after about 30m, but each person reacts different and to different degrees at different deaths. I personally notice it at about 50m or so. If I was more relaxed while diving it'd probably hit me sooner.

I mean it is expensive, it's just the amount required for a balloon is insignificant and thus seems cheap.

As a diver who uses helium I can tell you it is, compared to air, so much more expensive they actually charge me for it (rather than just rolled into the cost of a dive) - to the sum of about $300 a dive - depending on depth.

People in this thread frothing at the mouth because it's a title, not a name, must have forgotten about Caesar. And that it doesn't matter - people call their kids all kinds of weird shit.

I don't get it, what's cringe about making a joke out of people's selfish and exaggerated behaviour?

Does Linux have good support for VR yet? Specifically my HP Reverb g2 that seems to be reliant on windows mixed reality...

Have some respect. He had to get his pants on first.

As a software person i have to protest at being called out like this. It's the fucking weekend man...stop picking on me for just one damn day.

I wish this worked, but it only does for things that are popular.

As it stands I think I'm just going to have to back up my entire media collection for fear of not being able to get a copy during retirement - when I plan to watch a shit tonne of TV.

How can anyone be ready for anything if this is the definition.

Being prepared for anything is about having the skills and tools to solve any problem, any time. On the fly.

A good general isn't one who relies on his plan surviving contact with the enemy, it is the one who knows it won't and is able to respond appropriately and timely.

Jokes on you, we don't have PR review.

That was some sentence.

Just beware the bias here. Only pointing this out for people working against their agenda doesn't mean there isn't the same going on for the other side...just that they aren't going to point it out as it doesn't help their agenda.

Is this Poe's law? I genuinely thought this was satire but the downvotes and responses are very serious!

Not continuously for an hour. I've lived opposite an ER and it wasn't as bad as whats described above. Much louder, but also much less frequent.

In the UK there are actually laws around not sounding your horn at night.

Interesting. Same word but totally different application.

Shame 1: That's a shame /s

Shame 2: Shame on you!

I'm delighted to read you consider work to be a safe place. I hope that is the norm for everyone.

I imagine for most it's not true though.

Must every use of a singular pronoun be called out? This isn't offensive, it's slip of the tongue. Get out your own arse and give people a break.

You're right, but "incompetence" seems harsh. Maybe I'm just sensitive today.

I wonder if someone can come up with some kind of distributed storage that isn't insanely slow. Kinda like a CDN but on personal devices. I'm thinking like SETI@HOME did with distributed compute.

Edit: this is kinda like torrents but where the contents are changing frequently.

Even if they did, so what? We should not then recognise positive decisions?

If we don't allow companies and people to make any mistakes, for fear of being forever scorned, then we'll end up with either unprogressive risk averse companies that cannot compete against their peers, or a host of good companies that go bankrupt from the slightest misstep.

Personally I'm glad companies such as proton exist, and are prepared to take risks, as they are currently our best hope against the likes of Google and Meta.

That's funny.

Sure...my mobile is heating the planet while BP executives fly around in private jets, cavorting on their mega yachts, and supplying or spilling oil around the world. Sure wish I could tell which one was doing the most damage.

Don't worry - electricity also trickles down.

No because all of that drilling is happening outside the environment.

Yes

...which has internet access?

The lack of migration is what kept me on ml for several days after I found out what they consider ml stands for.

One click migration to a different instance would be a huge benefit to the decentralisation effort.

Interesting, thank you

Also was unaware Valve was working on a new headset! That's good news as it feels like the market has really stagnated outside of the Meta headsets.

Who is ymal?

Devices themselves can act as passkeys too - I.e. your phone, laptop etc...

Is it just me or is this a really weird way of repeating what the OP said? He even used the duck emoji for clarity....

I heartedly recommend Usenet. Bit more involved setting up than torrents but if you're looking for fast and quality content then this is the way.

My electric car only has USB ports and no cigarette lighter, so I bet you're right about it being replaced.
