Didn't know if you were asking but Meson is used to build libvips from source. It took a couple days for me to get up to speed on it but wasn't difficult to understand. https://mesonbuild.com/ https://

Read through the comments and was surprised no one mentioned libvips - https://github.com/libvips/libvips . At my current small company we were trying to allow image uploads and started with imagemagick but certain imag

The way you positioned the argument is helpful and conducive to a conversation. Just throwing out scenarios and expecting me to derive meaning isn't productive.

Where did anyone say that?

I was so excited when I got my ViRGE. Then I tried playing games with it. Mechwarrior II came with it but you had to run at 512x384 and even then it didn't run great. My next video card was a 3dfx Voodoo and I was in heaven.

I don't understand the downvotes - you are correct.

This is what I've always thought - time is relative to how long you've lived.

The question posed was what companies are involved as part of the homeless industrial complex and what do they produce.

They produce wealth for their executives. The Colorado Coalition For The Homeless received 122M in 2023. In 2021, the CEO made $313K. The top 6 people make over $200K a year. All of this from a non-profit. https://projects.propub

And major brands would force you to pay a fee to disable advertising.

'Can you think of anything in the dem side as widespread as, say, the ivermectin+antivax crap was?' Russian conspiracies. To be clear, I think the left and the right are bad.

Conspiracy theories are a political tool that Democrats and Republicans use on an uniformed audience. It's not just a right-wing phenomenon.

I don't agree with the OP but how are refunds a free for all libertarian dystopia?

My wife got scammed. They opened a bank account in her name tied to her email address. She contacted that bank right away. For 2 months she received messages about other people transferring money into this account. These were other people g

How do you know that? We can't eliminate opiate deaths completely but we can make them as safe as possible. Restricting access isn't working.
47.
by 4RealFreedom 3y ago
By that logic, we shouldn't have many opiate deaths because they are currently controlled.

So are you going to tell me what it is then?

The problem is they really just helped out the black market. They didn't legalize anything. They stopped prosecuting small amounts.

Why does fentanyl kill? Because people buy it and don't understand the strength. Regulation would take care of that. So what's your argument here?

Why take a shower everyday when you're just going to be dirty again tomorrow? It takes time for power to solidify.
52.
by 4RealFreedom 3y ago
Not the OP but how about cheering for no one? Centralization of power leads to oppression - covid, hate crimes, centralized banking. Maybe you think these are worthwhile pursuits but they are designed to control.

There was an article on HN yesterday about the Carmalite monks in Wyoming building a Gothic monastery[1]. They couldn't afford the cost so they started using CNC machines to carve the rock themselves. Looking at the work they've c

Doesn't this hold true for everything? It all started with painting. Then photography came around and took some work to produce. Photography finally reached the masses with 1-hour photo shops. Then anyone with a phone could create them

That's a really interesting point I hadn't considered.

The article mentions supervision once and “blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization” about half a dozen times. Is the idea to just have some bearucracy around ISPs, then? It really isn't clear what the point is.

When did I say anything like that? You can call or txt to check in on friends.

You have to use Meta? I'm not arguing for or against privacy here - just trying to point out that you still have options. It might be a pain to contact loved ones, check in on friends, etc. but so is using an ATM.

Mining companies have to solve the problem of run-off as part of the Clean Water Act[1]. Reclamation is the process of 'fixing' the landscape. There are countless benefits from doing this including carbon storage[2]. "mines i
