I sincerely hope the European powers will overcome their internal politics and the rightward slide many of them seem to be on, and cooperate more closely for the world’s sake. I want to be hopeful for the climate and humanity.

Hopefully Canada will stick with Europe rather than the US ideologically, but with how things are going here we seem farther along on our rightward slide.

Ukraine’s chances have certainly taken a hit after this election. I also hope Europe starts producing more arms to back Ukraine. Europe needs to do that now and so much more.

Trump also probably still holds a grudge against Ukraine for not manufacturing/finding dirt on Biden during the last election, or whatever the particulars were.

The game companies doing this shit will eventually incur the wrath of Gaben 👀️

I’m using two 16TB HDDs in a Raid 1 configuration (one mirrors the other) on my Linux Mint daily driver. I just set it up with mdadm. There are obviously much more complicated ways, but this was simple and convenient for my needs right now.

Definitely give Office Space a watch then, great comedy.

Keep fighting the good fight!

Windows is becoming more of a shit show everyday, comically so. Glad I finally installed Linux Mint today. I’ve used Windows exclusively up until now and just quit cold turkey, putting Mint on my daily driver. I was hesitant to upend my computer habits by swapping OS, but I should have done this ages ago. I’m sure I’ll run into some kind of issue sooner than later, but I’ll take a technical problem over one manufactured by a corporation’s greed any day.

I read this comic in a few days. Once you start it’s hard to put down.

PowerToys is so useful. It’s the main thing I will miss if I ever switch to Linux. I’m sure there is software to replace most of the functionality on Linux, but I’ve yet to get the motivation to look into it.

Yeah I had the same problem. I just had to commit to being a slow typer for a while, but I inproved quicker than I thought. Still learning tho. I keep a regular keyboard I can switch to with the button on the bottom right of the home buttons for the rare times I need to type something urgently.

Have you heard of thumb-key keyboard? It’s basically a 3x3 grid with swipe gestures for extra characters. I’ve been trying to switch to it for a bit cause I think eventually my typing will be faster and it will be a better one handed typing experience.

Anyway, I think this would work well on a small screen device too, if you can get used to a whole new keyboard paradigm.

It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo for f-droid.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

Funny that the association was founded in 1876 when that’s the century being emulated by banning “obscene” material.

True, thanks for the clarification!

I’m getting troll vibes, but I’ll bite lol. Fusion reactions are the exception since you’re turning some mass into energy according to:

E = mc^2

There’s many quality videos on YouTube that can provide a better explanation than I ever could.

You’re no fan of us? Cause our movie and TV shows are so amateur?

Edit: I guess they’re aren’t many Classified fans on Lemmy

Thanks for all the info. That’s a generous offer too. Take care!

On the point about why they didn’t use cows instead of humans as an energy source. I think I’ve read that in the original conception of the Matrix, the humans’ brains were meant to be used for computation for the machines, rather than the humans being energy sources. This was changed since computers were new to the general public in 1999 and it was believed the concept would be too confusing.

That would be in the same spirit as the system of government in ancient Athens. Common people being chosen by lottery to have a seat in governement. From the little I know on the subject, I always thought it seemed like a really solid democratic system.
