Ok, so is RIF going to make an app for the fediverse so I can keep using it?
I'm going to offer an alternative.
Steam lets you streamplay games from your computer to another computer.
Your phone is a computer.
You don't like the built in controls for a phone.
You can pair xbox and ps5 controllers to androids phones with little to no effort. Not sure about other phone OS's, and quite frankly, not my bag baby.
So now you have a controller hooked up to your phone, and it's channeling games from your computer over wifi.
Never had a cause to try it personally, but I might just do that and come back to confirm it works.
Might save you a couple bucks for your kids college fund.
People finding out the internet never forgets, and never forgives.
I think there's a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn't happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.
AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.
I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don't make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.
Of course there's going to be problems that come up. Change isn't good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I'm sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.
Firby I'm sad, play despacito
Ibuprofen + acetaminophen at the same time.
Alternate ice and heat in 15 min intervals. You can get an electric heating pad they work well. Lay on the floor to do it.
Get a firm mattress. If that's out of your immediate price range, sleep on a folded blanket or a mat on the floor. Your shoulders might get cranky, but it will be relief on your back.
Walk.
Bend at the knees for everything.
Light stretching, nothing that puts an unsupported load on your lower back.
Ab exercises. Planking is your friend.
Yup, not enough med-school slots, not enough doctors to teach more med-school classes, not enough hospitals to employ more staff back when staffing them wasn't the problem. These issues have been decades in the making and there's now no easy fix. If provinces had kept pace with medical infrastructure this wouldn't be an issue today.
Eventually we're going to end up paying the bill to get caught up, at a premium, with interest, at inflated prices, with money that doesn't exist because instead of saving anything they gave it all away in tax cuts and subsidies. They'll blame it all on Chretien probably.
I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn't like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.
The druid uses a sword. Made of metal.
Other than that it was entertaining, however from a critical standpoint it seems like they tried to fit too many storylines into a movie that wasn't long enough to support them. Could have easily been 2, or 3 movies worth of content.
Linux has 'swap'. Pretty much it's a back up to prevent your computer from crashing if it tries to use more ram than it has, so it allocates hard drive space to be used as ram.
Different distributions have different suggestions on how much space to allocate for swap. Depending on how much ram you're putting in your machine and how you plan on using your machine will heavily influence the size of swap you need (ram intensive vs not ram intensive).
You can set up with a 'swap file' on a hard drive after you install your OS.
Or you can set up a 'swap partition' on your harddrive when you're setting up your partitions prior to OS installation
Or you can set up a separate harddrive as a swap drive
Or if you have a lot of ram you can avoid setting up swap entirely. This is not advisable though, it sucks finding out something is ram intensive when what you're doing crashes.
It's good to have an idea of how you want to map out your hard drives before installing your OS.
The world is your oyster.
If you're dual booting windows you need to turn off 'safe boot' in your BIOS.
I guess there's the idea that all press is good press. People who didn't know reddit existed now likely do and they might just check it out to see what the hullabaloo is about. They might not even be internet savvy enough to suspect bot conversations are a real thing.
It's a website that gets paid in traffic, and we're giving people a reason to continue being traffic, and potentially increasing their traffic. We just fed the machine.
The best thing we can do is just stop using it. Making the protests fun is only going to help reddit. They're not negotiating, they've made their decision already, they're not going to back down on it and even if they did some decisions have consequences.
