What's more, it's attaching strongly negative feelings to a positive change. As a result, it's driving the wedge down the middle of our society as deep as it can possibly go.

You catch more flies with honey, and you can also use it to heal wounds.

This isn't a phone focused product, and the thermal envelope is quite a bit larger. It's meant for laptops, and maybe some tablets will see it. These are Oryon cores from their purchase of Nuvia, and I don't think a whole lot will transfer over.

I'm much more worried about the social implications. Namely, the displacement of workers and introduction of new efficiencies to workflows, continuing to benefit only those who are rich and in power, and driving more of us towards poverty.

It's not an immediate existential threat, but it's absolutely a serious issue that we aren't paying enough attention to.

This would be great if I could actually use it in AOSP without Google's own app, and view/reply to RCS conversations on my laptop using a 3rd party application. Open the APIs, Google, or you're just blowing hot air.

To be fair, they aren't journalists. They're a privacy-centric mail provider that is warning their customers.

Slackware. In its early days, fine, it's been around forever. But a modern distribution without dependency handling is just nuts to me.

My big takeaway from this thread is that, wow, people actually use that feature. I use OneNote at work, and I absolutely loathe that if I click a bit too low, I end up outside my note.

Yes, everyone who doesn't align with your political view is facist. That in itself doesn't sound facist at all, does it?

We need to not just be careful about what some horrible people are doing right now, but also about what we become as we react to it.

I suspect it's going to take a lot more egg shells than that to have too many, but maybe someone else knows for a fact. Just make sure you throw them in a hot oven before you compost them. You want to hold them to at least 160F to kill salmonella. Some places recommend 250F for an hour. I generally have them around 350F for 30-40 minutes.

This accomplishes a few things:

  1. It kills the salmonella
  2. It makes them easier to break into small pieces
  3. It allows them to break down and extract the minerals far more easily in the compost

With how many you're going to be composting, you may want to find a method to really grind them finely, towards a powder. I'd imagine that will allow you to compost more, without reaching some possible negative points like too much aeration to the soil. Though you might lose some benefits, like the pest deterrence, or maybe not since some people just sprinkle egg shell powder on top of the soil and leaves. If you're going to limit how many you compost, you might reserve some powdered egg shells for this purpose.

If you're worried about attracting animals to your compost, rinse the shells before baking.

There are so many traveling kids out there. The types who sell wrapped stones and hemp bags at street festivals, drifting in and out of communal living situations, camps, etc.

I flirted with all that when I was younger, still think about just taking off in my car sometimes. Ok, a lot of the time. It's pretty tempting for a lot of us to just say fuck it, and drop out of society and into a counter culture, or a nice intentional community.

Check the status of Asahi Linux, they're making a lot of progress on Apple silicon, but it's very early. I wouldn't recommend it, at this point.

Do you actually need 64GB of RAM? The Thinkpad T16 AMD would be a good choice, but the T14s AMD has just stupidly low fan noise in Notebookcheck's review. You definitely want to focus on AMD, Intel's efficiency is... not great right now. As an added benefit, you get AMD graphics from the APU, so none of the Nvidia driver fuckery, and better performance than Intel.

Personally, I'm waiting for the T14s Gen 4 AMD. The 7840u is zen 4, GCN 3, and TSMC 4nm over the 6850u's zen 3, GCN2, and TSMC 6nm. The T14 and T16 just hit Lenovo's model database 'psref' earlier this week, so I'd expect them out in the next couple months. The T14s hasn't been seen yet, I'd guess it hits psref in the next couple weeks. But, I'm prepared to wait into Q4, if need be, and some think I will be.

I'd say at least he only has 7% of the GOP vote, but the alternatives are so much worse. He's pretty much their Biden, at this point. Hell, we don't even know if he believes this garbage. The fact that so many people are beating the drums about things they don't even believe, for the sake of winning over demographics, is truly terrifying.
