It's not a direct threat but it is a passive one, it's also swearing and a contentious statement in a confined space where everyone needs to get along for the next N hours. They know damn well what the issue is but they're go

I don't think it's productive to single out a specific company that's in this area. If they closed someone else would do it. If they don't execute well someone else will. It's the same mentality as people who smashe

I hate getting AI generated emails from people. They probably haven't even read or understood the slop they're sending me, the chances of them understanding and contextualizing what I reply are slim, I might as well reply with AI

We have a customer with a business in Uganda, we just give her the laptops and she physically takes them with her next time she goes there.

I think solar and wind are a good idea, and subsidies can be a useful tool, I think making a statement about how cheap solar and wind are without mentioning that they're subsidized is not entirely accurate or honest.

In case you're as interested as I was, they have google street view.

I did not express an opinion on whether subsidies are good or bad :)

Solar and wind are still heavily subsidized are they not? If they're so economically amazing why are they subsidized?

To be fair it's pretty much the norm with shared and even vps hosting that your cpanel etc will be publicly accessible. Only people who hand-roll their setups will have things firewalled down etc. And if it's a website promoting a

Solar and wind also require many materials extracted through mining, you can't really get away from mining whatever you do.

I would counter that being reliant on gas and oil from our enemies as we currently are is madness.

I thought that. surely people are going crazy right now owning anything with an our of date Wordpress exposed.

They are not comparable accidents, Fukishima had no direct casualties and mostly very local effects and Chernobyl needs no introduction. I guess the cause / back story is more interesting for Chernobyl as well because of the human and

The issue with a client app backing up dropbox and onedrive folders on your computer is the files on demand feature, you could sync a 1tb onedrive to your 250gb laptop but it's OK because of smart/selective sync aka files on deman

I also discovered gdu recently. It's really good. It saves me running du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -h a million times trying to find where the space has gone while you're stressing about production being down.

I had the Voodoo 1 with VGA passthrough from the 2D card. When you loaded a game you'd head a little clunk from a relay on the Voodoo taking over the VGA signal and you knew you were about to have a good time. Doesn't seem that lo

If I'm in the position in future I'd love to do a history degree. I wasn't very interested in anything except computers when I was young.

That's just how the law works apparently, if there's a UK law passed that makes smoking illegal in Paris then smoking is illegal in Paris. The practicalities of this are to be worked out later.

In principle it sounds like a reasonable idea but the obvious problem is that people can become domiciled elsewhere, or structure their income to avoid this. It would be interesting to know what's been planned to mitigate that.

Pretty big assumption you're making, that you know what people voted for.

I guess the percentage of crashes due to hardware is high because people with faulty hardware are experiencing the vast majority of crashes. It sounds kind of dumb when put like that, I'm actually surprised it's that low a percent

Take away modern infrastructure in a flash or light and see what percentage of people are still alive in a year.

A bit like the automotive CKD kits, to comply with trade rules in the most efficient way possible.

I really enjoyed that show. The last line of dialogue in the last episode is the same as the first line in the first episode IIRC.

It's strange to me that some Americans will cheer on Chinese companies over Tesla, even overlooking those companies questionable labour practices. (I don't know if you're American)

Same with Lineage OS, may daughter has an old Samsung with Lineage on it and the Wallet app doesn't work because the phone's been rooted.
