Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don’t overeat

Seriously though, I saw this shit coming from a mile away, it’s been dead obvious that the US had some really bad growing fundamental issues that were never going to just magically go away by themselves (I mean, hell, not just the US, but still, they were going to be the first ones, and then there’s stuff like climate change…)

Why the hell do I seem to be able to figure out overarching trends better than literal professional politicians and leaders of countries? It’s so immensely infuriating

Just that it may be radioactive dust this time

And that’s the big thing that worries me. In the last world war, even in an all-out war with no holding back, there was a limited amount of damage that could be done to the world and civilization. Today? We have enough nukes to destroy human civilization a dozen times over.

It’s possible AI data centers will just be outsourced to other countries. You don’t really need the data center to exist locally in the US

Exhibitionism. It’s hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual

If you don’t understand it, then that probably just means you’re not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are

I can see a clear difference between 144hz and 240hz, so even that part isn’t right

And I haven’t used an 8K monitor, but I’m confident I could see a difference as well

…now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

They very much are, there’s just little to no political will to implement them

In the end, the stock market is a natural logical progression from the starts of capitalism, and the situation we are in today is again closer to capitalism logical conclusion

From capitalism’s basic principles, profit above literally everything was always bound to happen. Just how evolution happens through natural selection. It’s a similar process. Because ultimately capitalism is an economic system built on competition, not cooperation.

I have like the exact opposite issue. I’ve used windows for most of my life but it’s so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you’d like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of “run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn’t work” I’ve seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I’ve wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn’t work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that’s garbage and dumb, as I’ve used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn’t inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I’d have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

No, they’re onto something

Maybe we all should have a right to a basic living domicile

If you buy a bag of flaxseed it will last you for months and months

The amount of flaxseed you need to substitute one egg is tiny

But if it’s stupid enough to make them laugh, then it becomes good again

In fact, there are already abliterated models of deepseek out there. I got a distilled version of one running on my local machine, and it talks about tiananmen square just fine

Forreal

Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but…

It’s not a solution. It’s not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It’s like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself

Or anything else really

It’s hell to try to understand something someone gave you if they don’t label things properly. It’s like “I can see there is a number here, but what the fuck does the number mean”

Don’t worry, the US will affect your personal life too outside the news 😊

I don’t know enough about the subjects to go into details, but I know enough to say that that is reductive. ARM/alternatives are not inherently better, at least not universally. And, especially because of the inertia, I do not expect x86 to be fully replaced on the desktop any time soon. The motivations behind companies such as Apple using ARM likely have more to do with licensing than anything else

It’s probably more useful to think of x86 and ARM as slightly different tools that are slightly better suited to different tasks. Desktop, server (and possibly high-performance) computing are x86’s specialty, and I do not expect it to be replaced

All-in-all, from what I know, the practical differences between ARM and x86 are nowhere near large enough to be compared to something like the electric vs internal combustion engine. It’s probably closer to a difference of, say, a typical train and a subway

But, please read up on this yourself. I am not an expert in hardware, this is just what i casually picked up as a layperson

It’s very much not? It’s not even certain if an alternative architecture will ever fully replace it
