They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned… JFC…

There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

That’s because anyone who has been paying attention to geopolitics over the last two years knows why the US is bombing Yemen…

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

I loved it but needed it to be longer. I want to dig more hole.

Lol they aren’t even full left, at all. We’ve deluded ourselves into thinking common sense and not being bought by the billionaires and corporate lobbies is “full left”

I fixed this ages ago, I am pointing out that it’s unacceptable from a UX standpoint. And it was in the last year for the record, this definitely wasn’t just a fully solved issue years ago.

Which is great for the people who have the time to invest to know how to use a computer via the terminal, I used to be one of those people, now I have had various full time jobs that don’t use computers for nearly a decade since then though and I don’t want to do much with terminal anymore (it took me like 10 minutes to remember ‘top’) It’s hard to take a polished, user friendly OS seriously when I couldn’t access the NTFS windows backup partition on my laptop without using terminal, because they needed elevated permissions to see because they were, naturallly, created by another user. I legitimately couldn’t just open the file manager as root to copy and paste my files into the new root partition without thinking about it. Ridiculous hand holding clunkiness.

You’ve given me instructions that require terminal use, your argument is invalid. If it doesn’t either work out of the box or is immediately fixable without going into the terminal, then it’s not ready yet.

Honestly, not being able to run Dolphin as root made me feel like my PC wasn’t mine more than anything windows did up until recently.

Your computer is yours… As long as you’re comfortable doing it via terminal… Yay…

We’re talking about SCP-5000 Absolute Exclusion Harness right? That’s the main famous SCP where the foundation starts trying to exterminate humanity. But yeah, it’s all told through digital archives onboard a wearable device that renders the wearer completely safe from basically reality as a whole that just appeared and tells of a chilling alternate reality where the foundation starts exterminating mankind and it is implied that the wearer ends up using the suit to survive and then “reset reality” using some other SCPs and that reset reality where that all never happened is the reality the rest of the SCP Foundation we know exists. The Harness is the only thing left as it is shielded fully from basically anything.

I mean, that explicitly didn’t end up happening though, that reality got reset. The chilling part is the implication that that’s a very bad thing.

I was going to make a joke but honestly it’s refreshing and a good sign that Lemmy is starting to get used by people who don’t know what FOSS means now. Welcome.

I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.

You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.

Oh yeah, it’s the community thinking about switching frustrated by the Linux culture that are unfriendly, not the Linux community itself being incredibly unwelcoming to anyone who doesn’t “get it.”

We already do this at every steam based power plant in the world (basically everything but hydro, PV, and wind) and it’s done much more efficiently. Doing this stuff with tiny gadgets on micro generators like ICE vehicles is a pretty inefficient implementation, especially as it adds weight to already heavy vehicles, decreasing efficiency and safety, and increasing tire and brake wear. The only place I can imagine this being useful is very heavy vehicles that for some reason still have to be using diesel like long haul trucks/busses, diesel freight trains etc and the like. And EVEN then you’re looking at major issues with economy. If you increase the weight of a truck by 2 percent to give it a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, you are hurting not helping. 2% comes off of your GCVWR margins and suddenly you need 51 trucks instead of 50 trucks to transport a given load, not only increasing your fuel use by 2% but also increasing vehicle maintenance and tire and brake pollution by 2%

Edit: I’m not saying relatively miniaturized energy recovery systems don’t have a future, but I’m dubious it’s in transport or handheld devices. At least for the foreseeable future. Infrastructure scale however has always been a major application for energy recovery development, stirling engine, steam turrbine and TE development keeps getting further pushed to eek efficiency out of power stations, power plants, substations, emergency generators, maybe even HVAC systems and other building scale applications.

Is Betteridges Law dead?

Tbf, you were going to hear those stories either way, it’s in Russian/Chinese disinformation campaigns best interest to stoke as much division as possible
