The amount of times my iphone took screenshots because apple choosing to instantly take a screenshot as soon as you press the two buttons most likely pressed every time one grabs the phone.
They sound like a bratty teenager. If we’re taking their comments at face value, they probably get a lot of praise from their friends with cheap digs at America even if the same problems exist in their own culture.
They do, but depending on context, Italian is the answer they really being asked. If an American asks another American about their background and they get an answer like Italian-American or American of Italian decent, they’ll get a funny look because the American part is implied.
Why are you being confrontational about this? Italian Americans aren’t claiming to have Italian citizenship. Their cultural identity has more to do with their cuisine and values passed down the family. It’s more than just a piece of land that’s shaped like a boot.
The amount of people I know who have no attachment to their so called “homeland” is pretty much most of them. And usually due to their families they basically just pick one family to associate with.
I know people who say “I’m Irish” while their siblings say “I’m Finnish.” Simply because of which grandparent they more closely associated with.
Of course normally when I ask people where they’re from it’s usually in the context of which state.
Edit: By attachment I mean no other attachments than genetics. They don’t take part in the culture, they don’t visit, they don’t stay in contact with their relatives over there, hell most don’t even know any of their relatives over there.
I have a dysfunctional baby. We took an 8 month old on a plane to Japan because of a family tragedy and she freaking got excited when we hit turbulence and when we landed. Five other babies lost their shit but my kids all giggling.
Actually, she also lost her shit in a literal way, Jesus fucking Christ the amount of poop that came out after the pressure change or someone. Ain’t nobody talks about that but all babies shit their pants at landing— pretty sure.
Not to ruin the moment here or anything but this is the first properly funny comment I’ve seen on Lemmy. I used to spend most of my time on Reddit just hunting around for funny comments so I feel like the transition is now complete, so thanks
I'll probably transition my AMD 8350 build over to Linux when Win10 stops being supported. As opposed to my mom's FX-8370 build, which I'll probably just have to replace with a new Windows 11 system, as there's no way I'm expecting her (an elderly woman) to learn anything other than Windows. Especially since she's reliant on Windows-only apps.
The actual hardware she's using will probably be converted to a Linux Desktop, but I'll have to migrate her data to a new mini Windows 11 PC or something.
Absolutely! I got a little Ryzen 5 box with 64GB RAM and 1.5TB of SSD for, like, $500 ($300 base 16GB+500GB, IIRC?). I’ve been used to XPS laptops as my daily drivers for several years, my most recent being less than 2 y/o. It is absolutely shocking to me how much better that little Ryzen is, for how little money.
I haven’t checked power consumption on it, but at this point I’m seriously considering just packing one up with a small LCD, a BT keyboard/mouse, and a honking 20k amp battery when I travel, instead of taking the laptop.
It’s a CPU/GPU combo chip, and the GPU doesn’t have separate memory. So some % is reserved for the GPU.
Beyond that, I hate swapping. I never, ever have to worry about running out of RAM. I can run multiple Electron apps at the same time. Originally, I thought I’d be running Gnome or KDE, both of which are memory hogs. I can even run Java apps if I like
It’s freeing, really. And given that it was, like, $100 for two 32GB modules… why not?

I just replaced my older i7 CPU with a newer AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and it’s just absolutely RIDICULOUS how much faster this 3D V-cache (L3 cache) is when running Linux. It’s just crazy, even when doing computational fluid dynamics (CFD, which is my field of work). Intel’s Xeon Silver/Gold/Platinum series processors cost THOUSANDS of dollars, whereas this Ryzen processor is $320. TWICE as fast as Xeon Silver doing the same CFD work.
I ❤️ AMD. RISCV may win my heart, but we’re still a way out from comparable performance.
It’s the threads. The 5 has 12 CPU threads, which plays really nicely with concurrent applications. Go - and other languages which make threading easy and which take advantage of the architecture - really shines. I love it.
I know someone (86 yeard old) that never had a computer before her mid-70s. I built her several Xubuntu machines over the years, and she manages getting online, social media, e-mail and solitaire games just fine. She didn’t need much teaching from me at all. And it goes without saying that support requests are very rare and I’ve never had to reinstall her system because of some malware ate her files.
I’m not sure how you think I’m disagreeing with this. “BoTh SiDeS” being an argument, and the idea that there aren’t a shit-ton of pro-Trump bots are all I’m opposing, which are two things that this moronic post seems to be in favor of.
