I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.
I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhost
Hopefully. But it feels like we do this very often. We get a drug or something else that does this or that and is touted as being the best at this and then a few years later we announce that it was a horrible decision and has harsh consequences. Cigarettes, plastic, trans fats, so many dietary trends…
I’d love to try it but I’m skeptical just for this reason. Hoping not to hear in a decade that all these people developed the same type of cancer or some other horrible ailment.
But what you’re describing is just how science works in a world where we’re trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.
As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we’ll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.
The examples given are not problems with science and time-scales. They are examples of the corrupting influence of money. Companies push their product as being fantastic, and deliberately cripple any science that would challenge their profits. Cigarettes are probably the most famous example of this.
I use it because that increasing invasiveness really messes with my ADHD. Ads make me spend extra energy and concentration to filter to what I want (and I won’t buy their crap anyway).
Hmm, whether PPC or PPI (pay per click / impression), I don’t believe advertisers are spending anything on you. I believe it’s whoever is paying the web host who’s losing, and it’s potential revenue instead of an expenditure.
Certain ad blockers click ads for you. Assuming these clicks aren’t registered as coming from a bot (a big assumption, I know), then those clicks should count as interactions on the ads.
True but don’t forget that we probably enjoy the benefits of ad-based internet. If way more people would adblock than currently, then a lot of sites may need to resort to paywalled or whatever other type of monetisation. Happy UbO user tho.
Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve’s Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it’s >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan’s Lab.
You start getting healthier and losing weight just by eating real food instead of American poison, living in NZ or any other country that cares for its citizens will do that for you
The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️
Well it’s ML so they just default to “the only food in America is literal dog shit!”
Like, America has food deserts, and has a lot of processed options that are bad for you. But for most, normal natural food is available. For the wealthy, premium food is never ever an issue
There have been account after account of people leaving the States for one reason or another (Military relocation, job placement, etc), monitor their diet and actually find that while they are technically eating more, they are losing weight.
Fruits and vegetables sprayed and watered with preservatives and pesticides at every step of its cycle that end up in our bodies without much long term study before approving it.
NZ has McDonald’s and other similar trash but like most nations other than the us some restrictions and requirements are in-place and enforced to prevent corporations poisoning us for slightly improved profits
