According to the USDA, the US cattle industry contributes about 3.7% of US greenhouse gas emissions, and livestock as a whole is around 14.5% globally on a cursory search

I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18

People also forget about the loan sharking they did in Africa to take advantage of the most desperate

It's definitely only some. ASRock motherboards almost always allow headless boot, MSI almost never do iirc, Gigabyte and Asus are really model specific

What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that's enough to run the game just fine?

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they're meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you're just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It's an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it's the only method of control

I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it's roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don't have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we're visiting nearby cities

Nah the actual in universe explanation is that Dobby is weird for wanting to be freed. Literal direct quote from Goblet of Fire

“But Harry set Dobby free, and he was over the moon about it!” said Hermione. “And we heard he’s asking for wages now!”

“Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed. I’m not sayin’ there isn’t the odd elf who’d take freedom, but yeh’ll never persuade most of ’em ter do it — no, nothin’ doin’, Hermione.”

Hermione looked very cross indeed and stuffed her box of badges back into her cloak pocket.

On fresh installs before running the debloater scripts there's plenty of Try Candy Crush and it's already got Office 365 pinned and accidentally clicking that takes you to the store page, and there's some other shit I can't remember by name

Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.

Didn't you know the man on the cross was Jesus's secret brother who was martyred in His name while Jesus fled to Japan, started a family, and died of old age?

What aluminum cans are you getting that don't have a plastic lining?

Just as an uninvolved third party, I'm trying to figure out how NVMe entered this response to a question about a SATA to SATA form factor converter

In a since-deleted post on her site Pottermore, the writer argued that while freeing the slaves was noble in isolation, being enslaved is what's better for the elves right now and they should stay that way until they politely ask to not be enslaved.

I don't know who the original writer is and I don't know of an archived copy before Pottermore ended and everything was transferred to Wizarding World, but I believe it's from an era of Pottermore where she wrote the blog entries herself

Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?

The joke was obvious, and you even doubled down by suggesting people intentionally go to Bentonville. I appreciated it

The Gmail spam filter filters out emails from Google, half the 2FA authentication emails I get, things I've actively subscribed to and hit "not spam" on several times, and does not block "You've won a Home Depot gift card!" from h3uu3hb382jeop1fe@je7qow.xy

YouTube Red content can only be seen with Premium, but not only does Premium not have new exclusive content, Premium features don't work with member videos if you're paying for channel membership

That's a bit harsh

You don't even need to read the article, just the summary already on lemmy

Aren't those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent

As funny as that would be I don't think it would be as funny as when the internet memed Morbius into bombing twice, which was also Sony

PL2 on a 14900T is 106W

Edit: I'm an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous

My Xbox controller has just worked on Linux for months now?

Bulk prices are generally cheaper per unit but it's very, very possible to not be able to bear the upfront cost of a large number of units and be forced by that to spend more money in smaller chunks over a longer time

My first time reading them, at the age of like, 10? 11? I was so excited for Order of the Phoenix because it was coming out soon and I'd loved the first one that I got as a birthday gift. I slammed through 2 and 3, then 4 just kept going and felt so bad that by the end I wasn't excited for Order anymore and didn't finish the series until Order was releasing as a film. They weren't even that good as a kid if you read anything else

Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I'm pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before

Just for shits and giggles I've sent pictures from my Switch to my Wii with ftp

My desktop has a wireless card in an m.2 slot (as do those of my wife and both children), one of my laptops has a SATA m.2 as its only drive because it only has a SATA m.2 slot, another laptop has a SATA m.2 as the scratch drive because it has one NVMe and one SATA, and "the only things you plug into an m.2 slot right now are nvme drives" is such a wild take that I'm baffled as to where it came from

I also am glad to have this tool but am responding to you in particular to find out what the certain book series is where 8/9/10 are filler novels, because I hate read things sometimes

For recipe tracking and "what to buy" I've actually had good success with https://grocy.info/

Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot

That's not true, there's also Helena Bonham Carter and the now deceased Robbie Coltrane

The only known way to get it working is an android emulator with a modified apk and only software rendering. Roblox went severely out of the way to shut down Linux gaming, able to detect wine and proton and crash itself if they're detected

I don't know the difference between Wayland and X11, all I know is that they're options, and I'm 30 days into the Arch-derived(is that the right term?) Garuda Linux that defaults Wayland with a 3080 and I haven't had any problems? Aren't the Mint problems that it's a stable distro with outdated stuff?

I see! Thank you for the explanation, I'm still very new as this is my first Linux and I did no planning or intentional research before swapping over, I just got mad at Windows and was formatting my main dive 15 minutes later. I avoided Mint specifically because I'd seen lemmy threads saying it was using old packages on purpose for stability reasons, and that for actual gaming I'd want rolling release?

But the top is still moving right

I actually like the taste of pure cranberry juice, but it's too expensive to buy just for drinking so I mostly end up drinking half the bottle while I cook holiday meals after I've started the cranberry sauce

My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I've had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn't allow that either
