Just maybe with a bit less sex appeal?

Counter point: sex appeal is fine.

It’s the people who are pushy irl who are the problem. IMO you can still be very “sexy” and as long as you don’t push it, that’s not a problem.

I guess a part is that science seems to meticulously avoid the question “why do we live”, in a non-technical way, in a way that actually gives people a sense of meaning.

That and mental inertia, i.e. some things change very slowly.

The animal and human dichotomy seems mostly religious in nature.

Agreed, and interestingly, it can be interpreted in one of two ways:

  • Religion says that animals and humans are different.
  • Religion is the difference between humans and other animals, i.e. other animals don’t have religion.

I guess both are true.

I didn’t read the article.

From a technical viewpoint, all types of plastics can be recycled; it just costs a lot of energy. So instead of supplying this energy through fossil fuels to re-cycle old plastics, they just used the fossil fuels directly to make new plastics.

In the future however, when there’s abundant amounts of cheap solar energy, it will make sense to re-cycle plastics.

Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use telnet or netcat to send messages to other people?

I swear, it’s no longer possible to distinguish satire from reality.

And Windows 13 will be a single stick.

It would technically work, yes.

But also, you’re wasting a lot of storage space that way, especially if you do it often. You really only should backup your home directory, it contains all your data. You can simply re-install the rest from the internet.

The same could be asked with smartphones.

Why don’t smartphones include solar panels on the back side of the phone?

nikaaa ,

Well, it lays on tables a lot, with the backside facing up.

nikaaa ,

Same with people who say solar panels can’t ever work. They haven’t tried them in the last few years.

nikaaa ,

This sounds like the typical plot of a story from The Codeless Code.

Edit: How about this story specifically?

I personally prefer dialogs.FileDialog.open()

nikaaa OP ,

I disagree.

this is about having a robust supply chain which is important for everyone

It is not. If we buy solar panels today, and the supply chain crashes tomorrow, that won’t bother us at all. Solar panels are a very durable product, and once bought, can last at least 20 years. So we would have more than enough time to find a proper replacement. So, having unreliable supply chains is not a problem with solar panels.

Wait isn’t this just some fluid physics equation?

Like, incompressible fluid flow, iirc.

nikaaa ,

u stands for velocity.

nikaaa ,

Yeah i mean, now you know what to search for on the internet.

wearing makeup or earrings

turns out i just don’t like that

I would not consider integration to be basic maths, honestly. Basic maths is addition and multiplication, and maybe vector geometry.

“The number of births is the first indicator of the hope of a people,” Francis told an annual gathering of pro-family groups on Friday.

Hope comes first, births comes second.

You can’t fake an indicator and hope for the situation to improve.

Russia mounts surprise assault on northern Ukraine in most serious cross-border offensive in two years (www.cnn.com)

Russian forces have made two cross-border assaults inside northern Ukraine, according to information from Ukrainian sources and officials, in what President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling a “new wave of counteroffensive actions” by Russia....

No map in the entire article? Or did I miss it?

Crazy. I’ve been a long-term Musk supporter (because of meaningful business targets: EVs and Mars colonization), but these recent events I cannot support. Laying off employees while not at the same time demanding Universal Basic Income on a state level (so that no single corporation is disadvantaged) is a death sentence to the worker population, and that, I cannot support. I’m out.

nikaaa ,

I bet he now expects the remaining employees to work overtime because they’re “understaffed”.

For real what is it with them, where are they even trying to go with this?

Edit: I mean the Israel army. What is their end goal?

nikaaa ,

It’s like a dead tree. The material and volume is still there, but it’s dead anyways.

I’m worried that Maps will be hit by the enshittification next. We need a good quality maps alternative. OpenStreetMap seems ok, but it lacks a few features, including trip planning.

“let it rot”

It’s what a lot of young chinese people say, instead of working hard, chill out and “let it rot”.

nikaaa ,

I never understood why people take everything that is written in a newspaper at face value.
