I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

But work almost always uses energy. Be lazy and do less to save energy. A machine that beeps less does less work.

Labor negotiations in the U.S. should be EASY for Stelantis. They’re Dutch. All they really need to do is say, “Hey, we’ll treat our U.S. workers just like our European workers, give them good pay & benefits.” I’m sure UAW would be more than happy to accept European quality pay & benefits

1024_Kibibytes ,

You’re correct of course. I would think that the company that is already adapted to European workers and are themselves European, could see the benefit of saying, “these American workers would like more pay and benefits. Let’s give them those”, rather than “We aren’t as good as Hyundai at EVs yet, let’s shut down plants and lay people off.”

Why the executives can’t understand that giving a little bit to help others, helps them, I’m not sure. I guess greed and fear get in the way somewhere in their minds. If they would meet the unions demands, and especially if they would actually take the climate crisis seriously, consumers would be falling over themselves to buy those cars.

Increasing the CPU optimization by 0.02% does seem crazy to me. If you’re going to spend time working on something, make it worthwhile. Also, isn’t while(true) {print(money)} Microsoft, Apple and Amazon:s business model?

He had been on a whirlwind trip according to the headline. The headline might as well read “president has jet lag and isn’t quite sure of the time after traveling halfway around the world”. That’s a non-story and something a lot of people would experience

That’s not quite Blahaj, but Blahaj doesn’t seem scary

I also like some things. I don’t like all stuff, but I like many kinds of stuff & things.

That would be nice, but I, and many people, live too far from work to be able to bike and there is no public transportation in most of North America.

If I could afford closer housing, I would. If billions of people could afford to eat with minimal environmental impact, we would

Google maps says 25 miles. It takes me a little more than 30 minutes to drive. It would take 2 hours, 22 minutes by bike.

This isn’t just stupid. Anyone over 20 remembers that it wasn’t this hot for this long. This requires that they tell themselves that the heat is for some natural reason.

1024_Kibibytes ,

True, but we need to get them to acknowledge that okay, it was 102° F one day in 1972. Yesterday and today were the first days in 2 weeks or more where the high was less than 100° F where I live.

It was not this hot for weeks in 1972.

It’s also an example of calculus because the amount of dust approaches zero, but is never quite zero

One of 2023's most extreme heat waves is happening in the middle of winter (phys.org)

Temperatures in parts of Chile and northern Argentina have soared to 10°C–20°C above average over the last few days. Towns in the Andes mountains have reached 38°C or more, while Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, saw temperatures above 30°C—breaking its previous August record by more than 5°C. Temperatures peaked at...

BTW what does boost mean?

I believe boost is similar to upvote on Kbin. I’m not sure what the difference between boost and upvote is.

Thank you for the clarification!

if you’re going to do it on public property, do it at the site we’ve set up for this purpose

From what I’ve seen when this was first posted on Lemmy, “the site we’ve set up for this purpose” was the former police headquarters. A lot of people, especially not rich people living unhoused, might not want to go onto police property, especially in a city like Houston.

Dear @FierroGamer, I must inform you that your message is in English. This means you can type English, although I don’t know if you can speak the language or not.

1024_Kibibytes ,

I completely agree! I’ve studied Spanish for decades and I still have trouble understanding any native speaker unless they are speaking slowly.

1024_Kibibytes ,

Correct! Regulators are going to vote to do whatever benefits the oil companies, because the heads of the companies have the money and don’t care about their fellow humans or the planet.

That sounds more like Gentoo. With Arch, you at least get the foundation with plumbing and electrical run to the site.
