In addition to all the other comments, pumping warm water into natural bodies of water can also be bad for the environment.

i know of one nuclear powerplant that does this and it’s pretty bad for the coral population there.

Slavery in the US before the civil war didn’t happen in a vacuum. There were slaves in the south that didn’t consume anything, producing goods that in a large part were exported to britain. And the money from that was used to buy more slaves and land. But some of it was used to buy goods and expertise from the north that the slave economy was lacking, which in turn drove industrialization in the north.

But i stand by my point that over time the artificially low prices due to slave labor causes outflows of money from the rest of the world, depriving workers in other countries of money/wages and causing them to spend less. So all those slaves would overproduce things that there isn’t demand anymore and it’s still worse for the rich fucks than if they had paid slaves a fair wages.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying such a system can’t exist or work, just that in the long run it’s worse for everyone, even the rich who thrive on exploiting poor people.

Sadly the billionaire class don’t seem to understand this and there’s not much to do other than teaching them by force every 50-150 years.

Well, profitable in the short term. If the lowly peons don’t have money because you took it all, they cant spend it on stuff from your factories and your profit goes down and everything grinds to a halt. of course you can try to sell it to other countries, which fucks over their economies and makes them more susceptible to populism/facism (well after an initial phase of excitement over those sweet cheap imports) and then it’s facism all around and everyone is fucked. You just need to plan it well enough so you’re on your private island/mars colony with robot butlers by that point

I love my Glove80, had it for about a year now and couldn’t be happier.

For anyone interested in alt layouts, https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/alt-layouts/index.html is one of the best introductions out there. Also https://lemmy.world/c/ergomechkeyboards is a nice resource on fancy keyboards.

There was a recent paper that argues ‘bullshitting’ is the most apt analogy. I.e. telling something to satisfy the other person without caring about the truth content of what you say

I always thought the Mer de Glace at the Mont Blanc illustrates this really well. You arrive and there’s a sign “the glacier was here in 1910” and that’s where tourists back then.

To get to the actual glacier, you have to eall down many flights of metal stairs for about half an hour and there’s several signs for different years, 1950, 1990, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, something like this, with the years between each sign getting shorter but the distance staying roughly the same. And from the top it’s really far away.

Of course, once you actually reach the glacier, you get to the main attraction, a 3m diameter tunnel they bored 100m deep into it as a tourist attraction with ice sculptures inside. Above the tunnel you can see the remains of the tunnel from the previous year, half melted…

Uhm, this came out as part of a law suit against them by the record industry? So they are in the process of being sued.

While not surprising, the admission, which was made as part of court proceedings responding to a massive recording industry lawsuit against the company, shows yet again that many AI tools are trained on, essentially, anything that companies can get their hands on.

It’s not. A single miner often has like 4 GPUs running at 100% load, 24/7 and I doubt someone will build a 100 Megawatt facility with thousands of computers to get fallout tokens.

Though it is the same thing in the sense of running computer to generate worthless digital tokens. The main difference in that sense is that fallout tokens do actually have a use(in game)!

Just to add to this, because it’s fascinating. GPS satellites signals are about as strong as radiation from a light bulb, 20000km away. The signal that arrives on earth is 20db weaker than the noise floor, so background noise is a lot stronger than the signal is.

The way it works is that the background noise is random and the signal is repeated many times a second, so you can split the signal and add it together. The random background noise averages out and you’re left with a strong signal. But due to this, it’s enough to have a very weak signal that adds non random noise on the correct frequency for it to just break.

And actually what I desribed above is just the first layer of a GPS signal, it gets a lot more complicated with signals within signals, it’s pretty crazy how well it works. this is an amazing write uo on how the signal actually works, in case anyone is interested

In addition to other answers, keep in mind that Tesla gets credits relative to how far below the average carbon footprint their cars are and sell those credits to manufacturers of cars with more emissions. So in a way a part of the reduced liferime emissions are “gone” before the cars drive for the first time

Those are not the same things… Glass is better for the environment, for one it doesn’t break down into microplastics which get everywhere. And glass can be recycled indefinitely (minus some loss due to impurities) whereas plastic can be recycled up 0-1 times usually.

Plus the whole “it’s up to consumers to solve this” is just corporate propaganda to absolve themselves of any responsibility, all the while not offering any alternatives that a consumer could pick from. Like literally, they paid for marketing campaigns to convince the public that it was our fault.

one way to do this from within python itself would be to use the site module with pth files to monkeypatch the code in question. This would amount to patching it each time it gets started, not modifying the python file permanently, and without having to touch the original python code at all.

This write-up goes into more details and also links to this (unmaintained) tool for doing so.

You can get Fusion360 to work okay-ish in Wine. Probably not good enough for professional use but for my hobby use case it works well enough (sometimes a bit laggy but usable). this does most of the heavy lifting in getting it installed.

there’s a lot of stuff you can do, and you can end up with something usable, though not great, at least not in my experience. NVidia’s drivers are to blame, they don’t really work well with opengl and have lots of issues (and also regressions).

The 550 beta driver is ok-ish, steam flickers but I can play games. Drivers before 535 also somewhat worked, though it really depends on your GPU.

But I don’t think you will have it working acceptably without some work.

Here’s some pointers on stuff to try:

• check protondb for how other people got games to work, you can filter by your GPU.
• try running through gamescope or gamemoderun
• try the modeset=1 (and maybe fbdev) kernel parameters for nvidia drm
• and there’s tons of env vars and other things that can help, I couldn’t summarize them all here, but as a pointer: XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1, WLR_RENDERER=vulkan, LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia, GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm (for the drm above), __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
• try the beta drivers, if those are available somehow (I’m on arch so they were easy to install), or just different driver versions in general.

The above is meant more as hints than something to copy paste, so use at your own risk. You can of course always just install a second DE with X11 and log into that for gaming and use your regular DE for everything else

You can set a hook to do it automatically or use this, but I agree that this should be default behaviour

If you look at elections in europe, it’s pretty consistently the 35-45 year old demographic that votes right the most. Every age group votes right and it’s not like it’s only boomers, with the exception of young voters <30 (and women) which do vote significantly more left

Enough for what? Switzerland doesn’t really have coalitions, that’s more Germany. At most there’s “coalitions” on single issue votes. And there’s 7 presidents, proportional to parties, so no such thing as a ruling party or coalition. That said, the FDP votes identical with the SVP in nearly everything already, especially economic issues, so much so that’d it’d be hard to distinguish them based on votes, minus the blatant populism.

Oh don’t get wrong, it works fine for comics. the small screen and having to move around whole pages, and sometimes struggling to read small writing are issues (you can zoom but it’s not very responsive) aren’t great, but I’ve read many a comic. But if comics are the main use case, I’d probably go for a tablet still. If you get one for books solely, then the color one has less DPI and more ghosting, that’s why I wouldn’t recommend it.

And I don’t use the color feature much outside of reading comics. I thought it might be nice for color diagrams for work, but it’s a bit hard telling the colors apart when it’s just thin lines.

But I’m super stoked for where the color e-ink technology is heading.

I mostly used the stock boox neo reader for comics and didn’t have an issue with ram. Do you know how it compares to Tachiyomi?

Seconded, i love my Boox. it just runs android (with tweaks for e-Ink) and you can install what you want from the play store, it’s not locked down.

You can even install the Kindle app if you ever do want an Amazon ebook, works really well.

It’s also nice for using apps of various newspapers.

Plus the ones with a stylus make for a great notebook.

I wouldn’t recommend the color ones, it’s nice for comics but the colors just aren’t vivid and it’s not there yet in terms of quality.

Autodesk Fusion 360. There’s just not really a free competitor imo when it comes to CAD/CAM software, it’s all Fusion or Solidworks.
