Just get a new car pleb.
Honestly Bluetooth in a car has been a must for me for like 10 years now. And having experienced CarPlay, that’s def next (especially for cars that support wireless and have a Qi spot. Thats practically magic)
Is this the real life? Aside from being almost all tech stocks you’d think Nancy Pelosi had the same investor as my grandfather which was basically “stock a bunch of money on the fastest growing sector” (which at the time was oil and utilities).
I did find her <$100 trade for Roblox kind of funny for some reason though.
The right way to read that chart is “20% of emissions is in making energy for people, 70% of emissions is making energy for literally everything else”. If you consider that my other major personal sources of emissions are driving, domestic heat/hot water, and electricity, that’s saying 1/5 of my personal emissions are just from what it takes to provide my food.
But meat is damaging for more reasons than emissions. It’s also a major source of excessive water consumption, land use, antibiotic resistance, and pollution of potable water sources (runoff from excrement and chemicals used in the production of food for livestock, which is actually the majority of food grown…which is another reason…it’s just inefficient AF. Our food eats way more food than we do, and almost all necessary micro and (and all macronutrients) are available directly from the plants anyway.
I’m not saying we all need to be plant based, but the typical American diet is far too focussed on the meat. It’s practically heresy to go a meal without consuming the flesh or excretions of at least one beast. Simply put I think it’s unsustainable to continue consuming meat at this rate, and literally impossible to change the meat industry to grow meat more ethically and sustainably (as in, there isn’t enough arable land in the world to sustainably and “ethically” (in the modern sense of free range/pasture raised-and-finished, limited antibiotic use, etc) grow meat at the rates we are consuming it. I think it’s more immediately achievable to change that attitude and reduce consumption first and foremost.
Also I do agree that roads should be made of more sustainable materials (though improving mass transit would be an even bigger win, IMO. Make sections of cities car-free (save for emergency services, local deliveries, trash pickup, busses, etc) easily accessible and interlinked by mass transit and park-and-rides from the suburbs. Make most commutes by train/subway faster and easier than driving and people will switch. Bikes and scooters available at every stop. Make employers provide transit and bike/scooter passes. Incentivize employers having hybrid and WFH environments. So much stuff we could be doing, but tearing up or paving over roads that still have useful life left in them shouldn’t be among them.
While I don’t disagree, polling is the absolute worst example of scientific analysis. There are so many easy ways they can be swayed…leading questions, framing questions, selection bias, etc. And that gets used to form manipulative articles based on intentionally misreresentative facts.
Polls really need to be taken with context and a grain of salt.
Unions shouldn’t even be necessary. There are more voters than there are companies, by a very wide margin. The fact that enough people in the right places are able to be convinced to vote against improving their own conditions is really the problem.
I’m a big fan of retired systems for every day use. A 14 year old server has more function as a space heater and whitenoise generator than a desktop, though.
7th-8th gen Intel retired corporate desktops and laptops from Dell/Lenovo/HP are a dime a dozen on eBay man. Lenovos tend to run Linux very well out of the box. And Linus himself sent his daughter to college with a Dell XPS.
Many WMs allow for moving a window by holding alt, left-clicking anywhere in the window, and dragging it to move, by default.
Some use Super+Drag. They usually also have resizing the window by right-click-dragging.
I would suggest something compatible with Ubuntu Touch and a separate portable keyboard. There are some cool universal/bluetooth ones out there…foldable, compact, with device holder, etc.
That’s great and all…but Alt-Drag is missing.
I’ve honestly been using Linux on and off for nearly 25 years, and daily the past 6 or so…and somehow just found out about this, and now my life is changed.
Are physical keyboards a must? What about something like a Fairphone running Ubuntu Touch?
Or, for that matter, what is driving the need for Linux? Could it be satiated with an android device and/or x2go to a self- or cloud-hosted Linux desktop VM/VPS
Ask Toy Story Football.
What an embarrassment that was. I hope it got better, I could only bear like half of the first quarter.
Really if anything adventure bay is an example of a government effectively providing services and doing so in an inclusive way (though this may be because the mayor of Adventure Bay is a black lesbian).
It’s also important to remember that the entirety of the paw patrol, sans their subcontractors, were unhoused dogs who were given shelter and training on Ryder’s dime.
Speaking of money, we know now, from the first movie, that most of their funding comes from merchandising, but there’s no way that kid got started on his own, either. And we never hear about his parents. It’s possible his parents are dead and like…Wayne family wealthy…but I suspect most of the seed money for what would become Paw Patrol likely came from grants.
And look at the paw patrols employment. DEI as fuck. Sure, police, fire, and construction are caricatures of themselves…but the rest?
Pilot? Female. Very uncommon profession for women.
Refuse and recycling? He’s a mudblood.
Underwater operations? Non-binary AND black.
Adventure Bay is not authoritarian. If anything it’s a far-left utopia. You want to see authoritarian, look to Foggy Bottom. Or Adventure City under Humdingers administration.
Nah. Paw Patrol ain’t authoritarian. They’re ANTIFA AF.
Nah Debian 12 is weird. I recently installed on a few systems and they all do the same — usermod isn’t in roots $PATH by default, and my user account wasn’t a sudoer by default.
I’ve added myself to sudo but I keep getting “kicked out” when I start a new shell. Have to newgrp sudo to be able to sudo again.
I never use them but I can see the point. Like when you’re poking around for a log file, not sure what it’s called or where it’s stored and just going on a hunch…but you’re in an SSH session and don’t want to deal with X shenanigans.
It’s a legit PITA to ls, look for files, cat/tail them, etc. sometimes you just want to ls -alR but your corporate build runs tmux on SSH sessions with no configuration so you can’t scroll back since your shortcuts don’t work so you have to pipe everything to more and it just sucks.
See, that’s dumb. Just because games aren’t enterprise software, there’s no reason basic security practice like least-privilege shouldn’t apply in development.
Actual reason is system permissions.
Most the default installation path is Program Files. That needs elevation to write to. Fine when you’re installing something, but not something you want to need just to run the game.
Writing to %APPDATA% or really anywhere in %USERHOME% is guaranteed to have the right permissions for this user.
Granted, a lot of home PCs and gaming PCs are single-user environments. The “personal” computer. In that case there’s no reason games and applications can’t be installed in %LOCALAPPADATA%, and in fact, I think windows has an environment variable or registry setting for that.
It’s no different in Linux. You don’t want users writing to /etc. And you may expect multiple users. So all of that stuff goes to dot files in $HOME.
We are at the point now that we could invent Artificial Intelligence and develop it to a point that it could write the final GoT booK faster than GRRM, and better than HBO.
schoolchildren will learn it anyway because they want to watch American movies and enjoy American meme culture
This doesn’t surprise me but I had a lot of American friends who were into manga and Japanese culture enough to learn some of the language.
They were going to book a press conference at Raytheon’s HQ, but instead it was at Ray ‘n Theo’s Landscaping.
We were in a weird spot after the Industrial Revolution but before globalism.
Post WWII recovery changed that, when most of the developed world (sans America) was literally in shambles.
I don’t think we’ll ever see another full out war between major powers. Capitalism and the all-mighty dollar will prevent that. But at the same time it will encourage proxy wars.
Scarcity is a concern but again mostly for the smaller powers. More than likely it’ll be some sort of indebtedness between impoverished countries and their pimp nations backing them out of the proxy wars they created.
