Goddamn, that was impressive, you can tell there’s a lot of real enthusiasm there. He went so much deeper than I expected, I even learned a couple of things despite using Linux for 5+ years now. Great to see Linux being pushed to non-tech audiences.
Can’t speak for other cryptos (generally stay away), but Monero at least has a track record of being actually private/anonymous (unlike btc) and generally doesn’t fluctuate in price nearly as much as others (something the devs try to design into it). Several trusted privacy-focused services (VPNs, VoIP, etc.) accept it as a payment method. If I want to donate to Lemmy, I’d rather do so in a way that keeps my bank from knowing the details and keeping a record of that for who knows how long.
Yes, pretty easy - that’s exactly how I use it
I hate that quest devices are the only reasonably priced and widely available ones. Everything else is either super expensive, way too old, or doesn’t run standalone Android with sideloading access (meaning no true ownership of games you paid for via pirated copies).
Junk DNA is still a thing - some parts of thr genome are verifiably junk, and the rest is just “unkown”. It’s just that some of the “unknown” bits back in the day have now been found to actually be useful. At least this is my understanding as a non expert.
Let’s be real - this is to protect jizzrael.
There was no cold war with Russia?
Important to note, looks like the server component is not self-hostable (and the client doesn’t E2E encrypt).
Pick a closed source/cloud-based RSS reader. They usually include a bunch of news/topic-based feeds built in. Not recommended for daily use, but it’s a good way to get started (make your picks then export everything into an app like Read You). From there your list can grow organically.
I feel your pain. Aside from being slow as balls despite modern hardware, my Windows PC has a habit of occasionally locking up when I RIGHT CLICK on something T_T
Then it takes several minutes of no start menu/task bar, no trackpad gestures, no file explorer, etc before everything goes back to normal… for a few seconds before explorer crashes again. The only solution is a reboot.
I’m genuinely scared of doing anything on this machine.
Exactly! If it was just magic, things seem underwhelming all of a sudden - like why couldn’t you give zebras wings or laser vision? Why not have a grizzly bear with chainsaw arms on wheels? No ant computers or space octopuses? Makes nature seem arbitrarily limited and uncreative (and cruel) in comparison to what unlimited magic could accomplish.
(Just to be clear, this is not an argument against God since you could always just say “god set nature up to allow for natural evolution and has reasons for not going all out with creativity” - it’s unfalsifiable but you could believe that)
Biological evolution
Like what?
This was a very interesting read
So they just threw out the results of a free and fair election because one candidate was just too good at social media campaigning? Democracy ftw
CEO assassination vlogs
You couldn’t get more “clear cut” than what Israel is doing. It’s also a matter of degree. Invading another country is bad, but it is not a holocaust.
Besides, boycotting Russian products makes no sense in the West given that they are already sanctioned to hell. You’d have to go out of your way to send them money.
Man, Lemmings just love downvoting anything that hurts their fee fees.
What a waste. Literally dozens of other countries with capable research institutions but no space program that could have benefitted. Instead they choose to give it to the nation that kills kids for shits and giggles.
