Isn’t that just because Firefox got access to location data because some site asked for it?

That’s the pedophile piss baby aka u/spez aka Steve Huffman, right? As in the guy that moderated a pedo sub?

What a greedy little pis baby pig boy.

Have you seen rust? I couldn’t code like that, what a silly language https://lemmy.world/post/26105353

That’s weird, a physicist that deals with the empirical world, how does the rest of your tribe feel about you? I promise you we can treat you better in engineering, but the initiation might be a little hard for you. It includes a lot of chanting “pi is 3”, “what good is science if you don’t apply it”, and “that’s a weird parameter, I’ll just try setting it to one”

If you want to code like MATLAB but keep the leather elbow patched sports jacket and cozy office, maybe try getting plastered and code Visual Basic, it has the same feeling to it.

On two occasions I have been asked, ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Charles Babbage

And sun glasses, don’t forget the aviators.

While Mr “I can’t code without a garbage collector” is still putting on his backplate of “oh no pointers are bad” and a duck typed full face helmet, to ride his interpreted moped, the big boys, Mr C-ool and Mr ASSembly, are already downing grain alcohol at the finish line.

But then again I really don’t like to step out of my embedded RTOS bubble. It really depends on what you want to accomplish and how complicated your system is.

I would

What, like droit du seigneur? In Denmark it caused a lot of debacle, when people receiving Danish citizenship, had to shake hands with the local mayor during the ceremony. But I do reckon that having to fuck the mayor to get citizenship, would be too much for even the most right wing … nuts

This is what I was thinking about myself. Because we’re cool with political caricatures, right?

I guess the problem is that nobody wants to feature in non-consensual AI porn. I mean if you’d want to draw me getting shafted by Musk, that’d be weird, but a highly realistic video of the same event, that would be hard to explain to the missus.

Why are you using dating websites on work computers?

If it ain’t broken

But it is…

OK, let me add to that: if it works for me I ain’t doing anything.

If Xorg doesn’t work for your use case, then of course you should deal with it.

But I don’t game, the wildest graphical stuff I do is watching a video while running a terminal emulator, and I hate changes to my work flow.

Old ≠ bad

Personally I don’t need fancy. I need stability. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it, and I haven’t experienced issues with Xorg… But then again, I ditched Ubuntu in 2012 because they switched to that awful search bar launcher doohickey, so I might be a dinosaur in this regard.

When people go we may use child slaves in our supply chain, steal and ruin water supplies, and bribe medical professionals to get discourage breastfeeding, but you’re too fucked up for us to work with then you know you’ve fucked up.

What is this “real” concept anyway?

Adam Savage famously stated on Mythbusters “I reject your reality and substitute my own”

Sure, but is reality even real then? Is anything real?

Not that I meant to get all pop-philosophical on this beautiful Sunday morning, sorry about that.

No, they copy first movers.

the joked passed so far over the head of sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works that most observers thought it was an aeolian dust particle trapped in the outmost jetstream

Yeah, they should have just gone to the frontier of technology with carbon-air cells. It’s weird, right? I thought China was a first mover in tech.

That’s not nanobots ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

if you do not like it then you are stuck on old hardware forever

As long as I can get security updates for my current versions of software, then I could not give less of a fuck. I don’t game, I don’t use AI locally, I just want a stable system that doesn’t change functionality.

For all I care you could give me back windows 2000 and I’d be fine. Best damn windows ever released. If only it still got security updates.

IDK why you’re getting down voted, you’re right.

Besides how would such a filter even work? I mean dropping all packets to specific IP addresses will lead to chaos with any organization that uses NAT or GCNAT.

Sure, you can circumvent getting your own IP address banned, by using a tunnel, but then your tunnel gateway is the one to get banned instead. End to end encryption won’t solve the problem. Unless we actually setup a system like tor, and don’t leave our own network. But that would be pretty easy to squash, wouldn’t it? I mean a network only set up for piracy, it will get it’s main operators taken down pretty fast.

On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I’d 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.

Wow, the US education system must be improved.

I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

1J is 3600Wh.

No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

That’s literraly the same thing,

It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.
