I'm sure he only means it as "this is the shitty way the world actually works". Not that he personally believes it himself.

Been running Manjaro for years. Don't really know what would make me change.

I guess maybe if I suddenly started getting more and more dependency errors when upgrading packages from the AUR it would make me consider jumping to put Arch.

But right not that's not the case. So the benefit of switching is out weighed by the pain in the ass of having to say Everything up again.

I'm not interested in a homelessness solution put forward by someone with "Green" in their title...

They're not acceptable. In fact I can't think of a single one except burnt that is still actively kicking around.

Who told you it was acceptable, if you don't mind me asking. And if it was your english teacher, please ask them how they managed to get here from all the way back in Shakespeare's time.

Government subsidies from politicians eager to greenwash their oil and gas industry.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The Saskatchewan government has been running this scam for at least a decade; throwing subsidies to their rich friends AND using it as an excuse to lie and say "see...there ARE alternatives to the Carbon Tax".

It's all bullshit. It never worked. It never will work. It's a grift to make Scott Moe's donors more money.

Past 30, age is less about biology and more sociology.

I'm a 49 year old male. But I'm divorced, no kids. Still living a bachelor life quite happily while most guys close to my age are married with the kids and coaching soccer on weekends in a minivan. As a result, my friend group almost exclusively skews younger because those are the people who are in the same stage of life as I am (regardless of biological age).

The same works for relationships. Past a certain point it doesn't matter how old you are, as long as your sociological age is compatible. (Ie. Your way of life)


Edited to Add: The rule we always learned in highschool when we were stupid kids with nothing better to do is "half your age plus 7"

51 divided by 2 = 25.5 + 7 = 32.5.

So by highschool rules, you're just a little bit outside the lines, but close enough that if you're both attractive most people will ignore it.

This is basically going to make the population choose between smoking and having kids.

Hell I'd start smoking again.

I have an orange sweater that I got for a christmas present all the way back in 2001 that, despite nearly daily use a my "lounging around at home sweater", is still in almost perfect shape except for the colours fading a bit in the places that see a lot of robbing (elbows, etc...)

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Why do we need a new one?

Calling them "fakers" seems to get them all huffy already. And if you really want to piss off an AI "prompt writer", point out to them that they aren't actual artists.

Cromite. A de-googled, hardened fork of Chromium. Not perfect by any means. But it gets the job done admirably.

 

One of the main things that I have been missing in Lemmy since moving over from the other site has been the myriad communities for the various bits of FOSS software I use on a regular basis.

Any any given day, I'll use Kdenlive, LibreOffice, Blender, Gimp and Scribus in the course of getting work done both personally and professionally, and I kept waiting for the day when I wouldn't have to go back to the other site to keep up to date with them.

While some (Blender) eventually got communities in the fediverse of their own, few are very active. So I felt that I should at least try to create my own in the hopes that it draws some activity.

So if you're joining because of a shared love of FOSS creative software, welcome. I'm hoping to post news and other articles from around the web, as well as being a place for questions and advice from user to user.

Maybe it'll be just as dead as all the others. But I hope not.

 

The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue.

The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can't afford to pay for actual content.

We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there's a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc... so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.

 

Like the title says. Just upgraded my Android phone, got it set up and working like a charm. Went to connect it to my chromebook in the chromebook settings and it won't let me get past the "sign in with your google account" screen.

Keeps saying "wrong password". But not only have I been already using that account/password not only on the new Android Phone, but on my Chromebook for the last year...but I also LITERALLY copied and pasted it from my bitwarden account after it failed to take the typed password three times.

I'm stumped. Help please. Thanks in advance.

 

I feel like I've come a long way, but still feel like I have a long way to go before I feel truly good.

 

Stumbling a bit on how to get some animations to work correctly, (gauges and gear doors where the local axis doesn't line up with the global axis). But making some good progress on getting the details modelled in.

Does Jerboa's search function only work for communities or am I don't something wrong?

On the web, as well as other apps, a search brings up the choice between communities, users, comments and posts.

Haven't been able to make that work on Jerboa.

 

As the title says...

When is a level of detail considered "obsessive"? Asking for a friend.

Airspeed, Vertical speed, manifold pressure, RPM and fuel flow are all working as expected. Night lighting on the GPS and audio panel is working fabulously. There is night lighting on the center stack, but it's too subtle and will need some adjustments.

Manipulators are going to take a bit longer because I built a lot before really understanding how manipulators worked, so I have to go back and correct some things.
