thawed_caveman , to steam in What do you think of this prediction?

The life expectancy of 75 is an average (of the US population i assume), billionaires are likely to live longer

thawed_caveman , (edited ) to asklemmy in Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop?

I do have a backup laptop, which does come in handy for the rare case of, for example, making a new install.

But yeah, i feel like a laptop is an awkward middle ground between a phone and a desktop. It’s not as powerful and has a small screen, but it’s also not as portable as my phone.

Granted if i travelled more i would need a laptop, and then i would have a dock of some kind at home to extend its capabilities (USB hub, second monitor, etc)

thawed_caveman , to nostupidquestions in What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?

I do think it’s a good idea to do what you did and just try it as is, since there’s actually a pretty decent chance that it just works.

However, if it doesn’t work, i would check everything as if i’m building the PC from scratch. Are the parts compatible (good old pcpartpicker is here for that), is the PSU sufficient, is everything plugged in the way the manuals say, etc

thawed_caveman , to asklemmy in In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

See the thing is i’m not worldly enough to know what common animals in my country are uncommon in other countries. I mean there’s some mallards here and there, the ones with the green head just like the meme, are those exotic and surprising? Oh, my old hometown has swans. They’re surprisingly aggressive.

What i will say though is that i definitely feel that way about architecture. I quite like the winding medieval back alley leading to a church built in 980 (as in the year), it’s cool; but Americans will have a spiritual experience over it because no building in the US is that old.

thawed_caveman , to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

So let me get this straight: they cut down the forest, plant palm trees, harvest it for i guess a few years, and then… plant the forest back? How does that make sense just on any level?

I mean at least i happen to know it doesn’t make sense on an ecological level as a new groth forest is massively different from an old growth forest, so the new forest is no replacement for the old one.

Also i’m not sure if you understand what an argument from ignorance is? It’s not an ignorant argument, it’s a specific type of logical fallacy. The observation that no extractive industry has proven sustainable is a predictor that they’re unlikely to prove sustainable in the future.

thawed_caveman , to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

I’m gonna have to nuance that: while palm oil is an environmental disaster, it is in fact the most efficient vegetable oil in terms of land area per ton of finished product. This is because the the plant that produces it is incredibly productive, more than sunflowers or rapeseed.

So changing to other vegetable oils would result in more land area being cultivated overall.

thawed_caveman , to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

Any statement that boils down to “this extractive industry is environmentally sustainable” is massively suspicious. I don’t trust that statement at all. I don’t buy that you can produce palm oil on that scale while respecting nature.

thawed_caveman , to nostupidquestions in Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now?

Man i wrote two lines, how is that too much to read

thawed_caveman , to nostupidquestions in Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now?

Same reason there’s no fascist party: the two main parties contain a broader range of the political spectrum than in most countries.

From there the question is does the moderate or radical wing of the party gain more influence. The far-right has won the Republican party years ago while progressives still haven’t gained that much ground in the Democratic party.

thawed_caveman , to memes in A retro problem

I’ve recently plugged and unplugged a lot of monitors, and the way DP keeps itself attached it with those little claws, and you have to push a button to release it. But when there’s 4 monitors plugged into the same GPU, you can’t access those buttons. The struggle was real.

In comparison the DVI connector just needed a screwdriver
