But why blame the extensions instead of the auto-update feature? Wouldn't it be more effective to build external code review practices around the extension eco-system? For example, if you want to publish or update an extension, you fir

Yes, but the news cycle only liked the topic when it could be outraged. There were no large headlines explaining how things were resolved, which is what I was complaining about.

The little ice age was between ~1300 and 1850. It's now nearly 200 years later and I don't think it unreasonable that, say, glaciers melt faster the smaller they get.

Shouldn't the smaller scale be a lot more easy to figure out? The larger the scale the more variables there are the harder everything becomes.

I'm not having trouble understanding the physics. CO2 levels are now around 400ppm. During the Cambrian age it was ten times of that at around 4000ppm. If CO2 levels were so much higher before humans existed, then how did it go down? (

Given how we are at the tail end of a small ice age, shouldn't it be expected that temperatures recover to what they were previously? I never quite understood how climate is simultaneously too complicated to understand and predict the

The hole is still there as far as I can tell, though. I hate it when the news cycle alerts people and then never gives out updates and closure.

Microsoft used to ship a Linux binary for Teams, but they stopped doing that. Guess the tech was lost.

I've read about someone "exploring" the DMT realm with the machine elves by putting a hundred or so willing participants into that state and they found that multiple participants encountered the same machine elf, so there&#x2

I find it unlikely that increased taxation should improve the situation.

I have to admit that I never got to visit facebook in all my life, since my browser add-ons made it so the site would never properly load. I'm not sure whether I've been missing out or dodging a bullet.

(1) Fertility rate is low, we need immigration. (2) The world is overpopulated, we need to reduce our numbers. Pick one. Personally, I do not believe either "we need" to be true, but I keep hearing both contradicting viewpoints, w

English is my second language I learned outside of school. Formal education is pretty worthless all around in my experience, as they only tell you what you should learn on your own but make no effort to actually teach you. Otherwise every p

Haven't heard this being implemented outside of systemd. Recently switched a media PC to Void and so far I like it. Might just move everything to Void Linux.

Because the government then by default has a monopoly on everything. The worst of the worst. It doesn't matter who the people with the monopoly are, it matters that there is a monopoly. It's like saying that a just king is better

by OroPla 2mo ago
That's where legislation is supposed to step in to prevent monopolization, which currently is not happening sufficiently. The alternative is the government owning everything from the start, which is worse.

It's worth repeating, since so many people have different ideas about what capitalism is, but it's only having the means of production (factories, tools, employees, etc.) in private hand (as opposed to being owned by the governmen

I agree, but as long as the site follows my system settings I won't be needing a toggle at all. But I guess it should be there anyway.

I never was medicated for anything, yet I still couldn't ever bring myself to care for "rewards". But then the "rewards" in childhood were kinda pointless. Like a good grade. Can't buy anything with a good grad

Last I checked, systemd already has age verification built in and most of Linux uses systemd.

Can't say that I agree with the premise. It's not AI that has people feeling that their jobs are pointless. If your job isn't directly contributing to make the world a better place, which is most jobs, then you know it. And i

Renewables are great, but they cannot sustain current power needs alone. Both solar and wind also have the problem that they cannot generate power 24/7. So at times where they are able they generate a lot of excess power that cannot be
