Then, a bunch of reaction videos and clips of said video are posted after the livestreamer is done reacting , not adding anything to the video to rake in views and ad revenue

“But electric bad” is what this kind of news will make rednecks think, and they will over sentionalize the conflagration of an ev battery

Acters ,

Does it matter if the products last longer than an apple product and can likely be repaired?

Acters ,

If you wanted this, you don’t need a dam apple laptop, but at the same time, the closest competitor is the new snapdragon laptops that are closer to having up to a week of battery life. Also, they are capable of running more than you can on an apple machine, albeit it is early progress in proper x86 emulation, and more productivity programs are starting to support it.

So, no, you are NOT forced to make a decision to get a MacBook and the price gouging you experience.

Even then, picking a device for your use case is extremely important. I know many people who can survive with lower powered devices as they only use it for web browsing or documents like Excel or Word. Which an apple device would work well for but seriously is complete overkill and overpriced for.

More edgier than LIGMA, apparently lol

Gotcha, it’s cheaper to exploit something/someone than to do it ethically. Yet, once it is produced in mass, I’m sure it can be sold at way higher volume and thus sell at a higher revenue stream. Especially once the process is effectively efficient and cheaply done. However, the bump in upfront cost from exploiting for short-term gain to this is rather large. If only there was a relatively community driven system that already takes a percentage of people’s income to lessen the cost or burden for such services as a way to incentivize ethical processes…

Linux needs linux developers

Acters ,

You tried to install a non apple approved software(being the entire OS) on a Mac system. Imagine how hard it is for linux developers to support this blackbox hardware configuration?

Try using something actually easier to program/use for running linux type OSes. I usually will suggest AMD.

If you need a strong graphics card on a laptop, I think those frameworks will be more than capable of offering that kind of flexibility. The potential of packing it up so that if you feel like the power-hungry gpu will take too much battery, then it can be flexible in allowing you to remove the gpu without thinking about a screwdriver

If you need ARM, then you should be mindful of the fact that the arm ecosystem is still quite new for pc users. There are not many software choices, but it does show some promise.

If you think you need Mac hardware, then you don’t need to go around throwing linux on it. MacOS is already Unix like. You are going to live with the fact that no one outside of apple will have proper hardware support at the OS level. Let alone driver support.

Well, it seemed from your comment that you just expected this to work without tinkering. However, now you admit to be tinkering? This is a rather confusing story. When I’m tinkering, I’m exploring and expecting to run into edge cases or unsupported environments. Linux may be great, but it’s just a kernel with GNU on top to help build the larger OS. I believe the attitude towards linux is a bit misguided. It is a great tool, and its strengths mainly lie in the freedom of usage that allows for both fine-tune control and automatibility. I say windows and MacOS are strictly non automatable environments unless you venture into the developer side, and that will undoubtedly bring some with it some problems. As such, many systems that require the user to be more hands off and operate with high uptime will use Linux kernels. Being able to automate the process with minimal user input is essential in the performance and reliability of critical systems demand.

Again, I did not wish to be condemning your actions and rather alert you to the differing problems these tools are made to solve. MacOs and thereby its hardware was geared towards being an apple only product that is only properly supported by apple, and the problem it solves is to be a tool for rich and self-conscious individuals.

Windows was created to be a home and enterprise OS that can be used in almost any system that is quite an outstanding feat, but it really is because of the number of developers and users offer the ability for things to work. Mind you that even Windows was not made to be extremely automatable. yet there are tools being created to offer automating tasks, but many are closed source and tied to requiring funding. I even ran into some odd issues every once in a while.

Linux was expressly made to be a minimal system that offered high uptime and high automatibility that was free for everyone to contribute or use. This allows users and admins to set up their systems to be more hands-off when it came to tasks that were extremely time-consuming or continually have to be worked on without deadline while keeping costs low. It is just recently that Linux-based distributions are able to make use of features and packages that are geared to users who need to make manual tasks. Wayland is finally being more stable, driver support from large manufacturers, and even emulation of Windows APIs with use of proton/wine is getting better. Thus offering users the ability to do manual tasks and mix custom made automated scripts/tools into their environments.

Many see the hype and equate it to being able to use Linux systems like they did with the very much well funded manual systems that Windows and MacOS offered. Instead, Linux is just a tool and can be useful when it is needed.

As someone who did uber and lyft, let me tell you that these algorithm are exceptionally fine tuned to meet $/hr over long term driving. In my area, it is tuned to hit close to 20/hr ± 4 dollars/hr. You bet that on some trips uber is taking larger percentage vs other trips to meet this target. This is clearly how their system works to squeeze every dollar out of both drivers and clients.

Note: this is with OR without doing promotions and specials.

Those algorithms will try their best to get you out of profitable areas and stick you with low pay rides once you pass this 20/hr threshold. Especially if you are doing promotions, as they know that you will more than likely meet this target $/hr mark.

Breaking the agreement does not always mean you will get in trouble for it. This is the one rule that can be risked breaking without facing repercussions.

Acters ,

I didn’t say there are no repercussions. I said it is a safe bet on a risk that many individuals are willing to make.

Acters ,

I’m glad we both came to an agreement 🤝

Acters ,

Likely prohibitively expensive, will take a long af time to reach wider markets and most likely never pass trials

All my predictions

Acters ,

Immediately thought of it, too

Acters ,

If the highway increases in size, then more off ramps or more lanes in the off ramps are needed, which in turn need more lanes on the main street that connect to the off ramps. It’s basic filtration system dynamics.

Acters ,

Yes but I imagine this mammoth of a TV survived to the 80s for this specific person to make the generalized statement of it being a developed fear in the 80s.

Fuck yea, buzzwords were the original free money glitch and it still works wonders lmao

Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting? (lemmy.world)

I’m sorry for posting this here. There isn’t a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there’s been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn’t hear much about freedom forever, since they’re new to Seattle area where I’m doing this....

Acters ,

As the other guy said, the only hard parts for you will be to negotiate staying on the grid or cutting off completely.

I ran all the numbers and you are paying a ridiculous price for solar. You will see it pay it self off in 50 years, which I doubt you will care about at all once you are 50 years older or giving the house to your next of kin.

Me too, but discord also

Hey, I’m autistic! I notice that if I don’t follow the group’s current propaganda fueled nonsense, I am seen as an outsider and hated for asking those hard-hitting questions. Eventually, they think I’m “inflexible” or “will not change my mind” and then say i am “supporting the other guy” or whatever. Like what is wrong with playing with a little of devils advocate to get the full picture. Sheesh

Acters ,

Mine does not say that? It says “Disagree and close”

Funnily enough, this is what a chromebook was made to do. A computer that was only a browser. Unfortunately, the hardware was severely underpowered, and the custom software wasn’t as flexible as a simple Linux desktop is capable of. (Almost no software support outside of Google)

Acters ,

Yes, but I usually add my public key to the authorized_keys file and turn off password authentication once i do login with a password. On top of that, I have a sshpass one line command that takes care of this for me. It’s much easier than trying to manually type a password for the next time. I save it and just run it every time I think about using password login. Next time I need to ssh, I know the password login is not necessary.

sshpass -p ‘PASSWORD’ ssh [email protected] “echo ‘cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub’ > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && echo ‘Match User !root
PasswordAuthentication no
Match all’ > /etc/ssh/sshd_config’ && exit” && ssh [email protected]

At the next reboot, your system will now only accept key logins, except for root. I hope the root user password is secure. I don’t require it for root because if a hacker does gain shell access, a password(or priv esc exploit) is all they need to gain root shell. It is also a safety net in case you need to login and lost your private key.

I promise you I have done exactly that, i had an auto clicker bound to my space bar and was to lazy to click and would just hold the space bar down when I knew that I was going to click a bunch of gui buttons.(which I though wouldnt be problem) Quickly learned some programs don’t like it at all. Lol

Acters ,

“Gently slides back” 😂

Acters ,

I would turn off the auto clicker, I just had it on randomly

Acters ,

I didn’t have to work on it for just to not click through ui menus, I just had my autoclicker enabled from some reason(likely game) and just randomly thought, “I’ll use the autoclick, lol” and had some interesting stuff happen. It was entertaining and nothing about being practical.

Acters ,

Dead internet theory or the government thinks there are people here to track. What a paradox, lol

It’s an edited picture. Not sure what you are looking to make sense with a fake picture of a fake coat

It’s an edited picture. The coat in the original goes down to her thighs.

Acters ,

It’s an archive of a webpage from a desktop. Have you tried turning your phone sideways? Or using the “desktop site” mode that mobile browsers have?

Acters ,

I can see a folding phone being useful in this situation, but they are mostly a nightmare to repair, have debatable water resistance, are expensive, and have closed proprietary software.

Acters ,

Or in certain contexts “fuck shit up and pray it works”

Sounds like good advice, but most guys with chub can still land a woman.

Is it more important not to do it at the workplace or other non-social settings. Also, looking nice, (think about having it done professionally) is a must for good impressions, especially first impressions. Along top of that, just training the charisma without worrying about someone’s feelings being hurt is a great way to practice. Usually with friends, but can be done with random people as long as you pick your battles and don’t push them aggressively. Not greatest advice, but making friends, being funny, and standing your ground on your beliefs will land you the right one. Don’t chase a pretty girl. That’s just asking for trouble.

Some claim to have stripped Robertson screws but to be fair, the metal used and amount of torque the peson applies is the biggest reason for problems.

Phillips heads were supposed to solve the over torquing problem, but everyone didn’t listen to standard specifications and didn’t bother using them as they were meant to be made and used. The Philips head was supposed to slip once the correct torque was applied. Unfortunately, this positive benefit became a negative. With poor metals and a mismatched driver bit to screw head along with not using the screw head that was meant for the specified torque demands, the Phillips screw became known for stripping.

Trying to implement non overtorquing feature to the square bit and you will find how similar it will look to the Phillips head.

Right now, Torx is the best at not stripping, but good luck if the screw is overtorqued. Eventually, the cheap metal gives out with the screw head, or bit, snapping off.

Me too, I sometimes wish to read a larger wall of text, BUT only if there are proper categories and examples. Not just hypothetical and abstract ideas and ruminations.

Acters ,

Can’t forget our ability to literally be hyper fixated at following prey without getting bored or distracted. Perseverance is often a highly useful but currently exploited skill in our economy.

Acters ,

It’s a perfectly reasonable concern, but it should already be priced into the rent. “Addons” like this are just blatant cash grabs under the veil of “giving the user options” but realistically it is driving up the cost for no reason as it is meant to be already priced into the fucking rent. Adding arbitrary prices is a lot of these passive income leaches and exasperated by large tech and industrial corporations.

Acters ,

That is for the insurance company to demand from the landlord that should cover certain scenarios, not for the renter to foot the bill on. It’s as if insurance exists for a reason. This is not a solution, it’s just penny pinching douchebaggery.

Acters ,

Yeah, imagine using rim brakes at 40 mph. Good luck with the inevitable crash with absolutely nothing to cushion or take the hit for you(no crumple zones).

Acters ,

Also a lot of enterprise equipment runs on some kind of Linux and may also inflate the numbers. Linux will always be around, it’s windows and Mac os that need their parent companies to survive

Acters ,

Even further, it made it more expensive to buy products from all the dumb licensing fees that all the middlemen try to shoehorn in.

Acters ,

Which is a good and bad. Good because Americans are fat af. Bad because they will just buy more of the same at a higher cost for no reason other than complacency

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

Acters ,

Yeah, surge pricing is meant to discourage usage as there is too much demand. Most restaurants will never have this problem. One exception I found was the unveiling of the new popular restaurant here in my area that had 24 hour service times. They eventually had to change it to close a few hours at night for staff to clean and restock. The change was 3 days after grand opening. Drive thru was so full it reached the big streets and the highways off ramp. It was dumb af. I liked the closing idea more than surge pricing.

In fact they could do a happy hour specials that mimic this surge pricing but the advertising will be to highlight lower price times. which theoretically should act the same as surge pricing by making times of high demand “normal”/higher prices.

Acters ,

Can’t wait for the 75% discounts for low priority times /s

Only a month? There are people here who can talk about it till the inevitable end of the universe
