The episode following that one is even better.

Also, ability to screen-share has little to do with the competencies that pay the bills on most places.

It’s from Strange New Worlds.

“Minimum mandatory” is doing some distortion here. There are countries where the vacation days can only be reduced with extra payments.

I believe a much larger share of the world will fall into the last category if you focus on “number of vacation a person can expect to have at no cost if they want it”. The 30 days is kinda of a standard.

Their products are currently better than the competition

If you want just a GPU, no they aren’t really better.

They have some different strengths, so they may fit some use-cases better, but they aren’t out-right better.

Oh, so this is about NVidia and its CEO. Thanks.

Yeah, he has been pissing everybody for quite a long time already. People still buy the things he sells…

Not so fast. The idea that “if companies spend that much, they must have a reason” isn’t any good either.

Some ads obviously work, some ads obviously don’t work, and most of them aren’t in either of those categories.

I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I’ve had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo…

It is just the most active posts.

If there is a whoosh moment, it’s this one. But technically, no, I browse by “new”, and that’s what I subscribe to.

About You Tube, yep, it can change in a whim just by clicking on the wrong video and watching the few seconds it takes to discover it’s some crazy piece of shit. Anyway, there’s fun stuff there.

YT basically just sends me comedy sketches and bad sci-fi shorts. Lemmy basically sends me memes about popular culture and science… And that’s it, those are the feeds that exist, right?

Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Well, my local mail service often has less lag than Teams…

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

That one is actually bad.

As the OP said, they are the same thing.

The only difference is where you draw the line around “the system” and what you decide to put outside of it. The entire difference is on your head only, and other people have different ideas on theirs.

He literally promised to create concentration camps.

He is also a known liar, and I personally believe he’ll deliver that one partially to a small ratio that is still horrible but too small to count as the promise. But I can’t really fault people from fearing it’s not a lie.

Well, this is as much as they deserve.

This is way, way less crazy. It doesn’t even compare.

Is this the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove?

I know stories about a scientists that made a “weapon vs. delivery method” table, where the delivery method first would grow and grow, then it started to shrink until it became “backyard” because it made no difference where the weapon exploded. I have no idea if those were related, and how often people came to that conclusion that “hey, if we increase our bombs just this much, they don’t need to be bombs anymore”.
