I think the Ryzen CPU just gives more bang for the buck, as well considering purchase price as energy consumption. That's not Linux related, but I think Linux users generally tend to care less about "market leader", sometimes even as far as consciously supporting the underdog.

That is why I like this targeted actions over the gluing themselves to the road ones. This is targeted to people destroying the climate. I don't think there is any good reason to drive an SUV or a sports-car in a city, and it is actively harmful. To pick up your equivalence: Feminists fight misogyny and inconvenience those guys actively showing it without necessarily alienating average guys.

Well, if they want to go shopping right now, chances are for this one trip they'll take their spouses smaller car, public transport or maybe even walk. If SUVs become generally unreliable (because you never know if you have air in your tires when you need it), people will look for something more reliable. They'll bitch about it, they won't act out of conviction or so, but who cares.

Good luck with that... I recommend to stay ground-floor and to avoid tea and guys with umbrellas?

But I wonder what will happen to Shoigu. I mean, getting rid of him wasn't part of the Putin/Prigozhin deal, but wasn't it a huge failure on his part to let Prigozhin proceed that far? Wouldn't Putin have to sack him for that, even if that looks like giving in to Prigozhins demands?

What will he do without his Trusty lawyer 🥲

I live on 7 acres of mostly heavily wooded land

Well, the activists target SUVs in the middle of Hamburg. That's not really a comparable situation. I agree it would suck if you visit a big city and get targeted there, but I would hope the activists can decide between a polished up city-only SUV and an actual working-vehicle and act accordingly.

They target SUVs and alike. In what area do you live that a much more affordable and less gasoline consuming car wouldn't work for you?

They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I'm looking for.

The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the "really simple" ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it's own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to "learn" from it's mistakes, as such.

I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁

"Read" means they are displayed in your browser. I used to have Twitter open and hit reload once in a while during work, I definitely loaded more than 300 Tweets per day, especially when clicking on an interesting one once in a while loading all the replies automatically.

President, specifically. The prime minister of Ireland is also openly gay (I think he has a husband), and Elio di Rupo was the first openly gay prime minister in the EU, Belgium to be specific.

So does my lemmy instance :-) (unfortunately, I'm no good as an artist, it's not that obvious it is supposed to depict a stamped reddit logo)

“almost all sub accidents are the result of pilot error”.

But it was his error, and as far as I know, he also was the pilot, so...

"Elon Mode" just means it's to cater to Musks wet dreams to keep him in the believe the feature is just around the corner, because "see, it's already in the car, we just can't set it live due to stupid formalities" while in reality, passing trial is the major hurdle and having a demo is miles away from having something working reliable in all corner cases.

I don't see any chance for democracy anytime soon. Best case, Russian army and Wagner troops will decimate each other severely, and whoever ends up in power is struggling too much with domestic problems to effectively fight any other countries.

Worst case, one of the military leaders dies early, all troops end up intact in one hand, and whoever ends up the dictator is less inhibited to use nukes in Ukraine, thinking it might assert their dominance.

I started my own instance and do currently not intend to open it for others (besides, maybe, close friends and family).

My intention are

  • to learn more about the concepts
  • evaluate how reliable the replication of comments and posts works
  • maybe create my own pseudo-community just for myself, as kind of a simplified blog

Reading other posts in this sub, I saw it is still seen as offloading the main servers, as the replication of the data is a low load compared to serving the UI. Maybe one of these motivations apply to you, too? Or you find another one? At the end of the day, host your own instance if you want to :-)

So, the two conflicting armies of Russia shooting at each other, the minister of defence not anticipating this although he instigated it, the president running away, both (minister and president) not addressing the nation in a speech for 3 days after the incident, and the revolutionary leaving on his own account without suffering any substantial losses?

The Russian army bombarded Wagner camps, starting the whole affair, Wagner shot down helicopters of the Russian army during the march. Do you think that will strengthen the ties between Wagner troops and the Russian army to cooperate better in the future? Wagner didn't face any notable resistance the first cities they passed through, and that is a show of strength for Putin? Yeah, no. I don't think that makes much sense, sorry.

Putin will have to go full berserker mode now to portrait some strength, make an example of the mayors of those cities, axe the minster of defence for being obviously incompetent here, and arrange a polonium-tea or something for Prigozhin. And while this might help him save his face as strong leader, it will probably lead to more resistance from others.

Fully agree! Let's focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

It's all game theory. If I do everything right, restrain my reproductive urge, reduce my resource consumption etc., if most others don't chime in, it will achieve nothing. The gasoline I'm not using means our oil reserves worldwide will last two seconds longer, but it will still all be burned.

Even if every single human being on earth would be willing to join a covenant to save the environment, there is no one to orchestrate it, and therefore the majority despairs over humanities stupidity and can't do anything.

The same is on government level: If one state did everything right, globally the other governments would use up the saved resources. And therefore the electorate won't elect a really environment-friendly party because it only results into the own country reducing the standard of living, increasing it for others temporarily.

The only solution would be a global alliance. We surprisingly managed it for the ozone hole, but we won't this time.

I still try to live environment friendly, but in my heart I have no hope of humanity solving this chrisis, and a lot will go to shit in my lifetime still (next 30 years). Maybe enough will survive to maintain the species.

None yet, but I might very well ---

Oh, you mean by the decision-makers! Sorry, I think I misunderstood :-)

If we went back to that, I'd probably immediately miss the days when objects in our day-to-day were attainable for one Euro or so :-)

Came here to write the same, you beat me to it 😁

I think that's a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)

Sounds like "screen"? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

He looks like he's nearing retirement age anyways, disbarment shouldn't cost him much...

I'm not that familiar with drugs, but shouldn't it be singular? "Bring some coke in"? Or is it nowadays pre-portioned?

I'd like to know when that came up first. I thought I mentioned it before reading it anywhere, three months ago or so, would be interesting to see if there are actually older quotes to this effect.

A markov-chain implemented by an entry-level SW engineer is probably more coherent :-)

Still a task no human could do. Well, would do. AI doesn't have any concerns about dignity, see? 😁

As far as I read recently, currently the liquid to provide the cells with nutrition is gathered from slaughtering cattle. I couldn't find the link, will keep looking, but if anyone has information to the contrary, I'd be happy. I love the idea of meat-taste without animal cruelty and I think it is the way we have to go if we as a species want to survive.

EDIT: https://gemeinsam-gegen-die-tierindustrie.org/en/clean-meat-the-solution-to-the-problems/

In any case, it is important to bear in mind that the production process regularly relies on fresh muscle tissue and continuously on growth serum.

The growth serum is usually obtained from the heart of a calf embryo, for which the calves and sometimes the mother cow are slaughtered.9b Some companies state that they have replaced the calf serum with an algae nutrient solution.10 It also remains to be seen whether this alternative will prevail.

As the domain name already suggests ("Together against animal industries"), this article seems heavily biased, however. If tissue of a calf embryo is required for the serum, that's not a calf, but an embryo, which is slaughtered. Just like abortion is not murder.

Nevertheless, I hope the mentioned algea nutrition solution will prove a viable alternative.

Seriously, is this guy real or

He was real. Is he still real, as a mangled corps? Probably a matter of definition...

game theory only works for a zero game

Traditional game theory did, current game theory doesn't

This situation has some similarities with the Prisoners dilemma, although not entirely

Cool :-) For those who speak as little Russian as me (practically none, that is) maybe Google Translate for Websites can help :-)

In other news: How is it that people have no empathy for the poor billionaires on the Titan submarine and make fun of that tragedy?

Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)

Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.

The article starts with absolute non-news: To get results on reddit.com you should addd site:reddit.com to your search, not just Reddit.

Unfortunately, I think this is a disadvantage of the Fediverse when it comes to search: The "site:" operator won't work when searching for topics discussed e.g. on Lemmy since there is no common, general domain name.

Maybe that would be a great next step for a search-engine provider to be better: Add a new, flexible operator, like scope, and index the data of the fediverse or other distributed services for search. E.g. DIY Esp8266 camera activator scope:fediverse, scope:lemmy or maybe scope:diaspora

I would assume we are too few people to get a good statistical evaluation of what is hot and what is not.

What's the budget? I got myself a Tuxedo Pulse Gen2 this year and am very happy with it, I have no complains at all regarding built-quality, performance and Linux-compatibility. (However, it appears they don't offer many Ryzen-notebooks anymore, I just looked and only found one model :-()

That's interesting news! If you have a source, could you please edit your comment and add it there?

Put your alarm clock to 30min from now and 15min snooze intervals...

Wagner is a mercenary company, I don't think they are interested in antagonising all nations at once. They want to continue making money and getting contracts. Therefore they won't use the weapons and will surrender them somehow.
