themelm , to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

Windows 10 IoT LTSC version will be receiving security patches until 2032 its what all my work VMS are based on right now.

themelm , to world in Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

I mean smoking anything will cause cancer but there’s no reason to think weed taken orally isn’t one of the most safe chemicals we have.

themelm , to world in Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

Not the perspective I was arguing. I was arguing that people should be allowed to make informed decisions about what they want to put in their body and that criminalizing drug use doesn’t help anyone but criminal drug gangs.

themelm , to world in Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

Nonsense. Alcohol is a carcinogen, every part of your body it touches has an increased risk of developing cancer. It is directly neurotoxic. It damages the liver and stomache. A bottle of it can kill you. Stopping taking it can kill you.

Weed taken orally is physically very safe. It can still be habit forming and there are other unwanted side effects but to act like it is physically comaparable to alcohol is silly.

I say there’s no safe amount of cocaine because it is directly cardiotoxic and has been known to cause heart defects in healthy young men at moderate doses.

I don’t think ant drug should be illegal I just think people should be aware of the dangers of substances so they can make an informed decision.

themelm , to news in More US auto buyers are turning to hybrids as sales of electric vehicles slow

Its not complicated but it wouldn’t be cheap to pay an electrician to properly install an outlet out to the parking lot. If you own the condo it would be worth it probably but paying out of pocket for a rental units infrastructure I don’t see paying off for the prospective electric car owner.

Its always way more work than people expect to “just install a new plug here” in an existing and finished place. I would say the solution here is to require rental property owners to start supplying outlets to parking lots.

Maybe I’m wrong. People should get a quote for getting it done if they’re interested. But I think it’ll be surprisingly pricy in most places.

Running a plug to an apartment building parking lot properly would not neccesarily be cheap. I doubt a renter would be better off paying for that vs just running an efficient gas car. It only makes sense if you do it for the whole building at once at least then you get some economies of scale with bringing an electrician out and running wire through a parking lot.

themelm , to world in Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

Yeah there is no safe amount of cocaine to do. There is also no safe amount of alcohol to do. At least if shit is legalised people can decide to use cocaine or not with informed consent and can be sure they are actually getting pure cocaine.

I had a friends cousin die from using cocaine but it was because they had bought it off a street dealer and it was tainted with fentanyl. They just wanted to have a little extra fun on a night out on vacation. They’d be alive and well if cocaine was legal.

Prohibition doesn’t work. It just adds suffering and stigma to addiction. One of the biggest factors to addiction is isolation something that criminalizing health issues greatly contributes to.

themelm , to memes in Trig

Or building some stairs or really a ton of shit. Basic trig is such a useful thing that it tells me people who complain about it have never built anything, virtual or physical.

themelm , to technology in Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035

I dunno some intercity buses and trains would be nice… Like unless you can fly or rent a car I don’t know how you get to most of the country without your own car.

themelm , to technology in Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035

We’ll just have to carry gas generators on our electric trucks to drive to work in the bush I guess.

themelm , to technology in Five People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich

Yeah and if my province hadn’t sold of their public telephone company to private investors I’d be even more better off so I’m more pissed about that.

themelm , to technology in Five People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich

Starlink is shitty and yet where I’m at its still easily the cheapest, fastest, and most reliable option. Infuriating really.

themelm , to linux in How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

Graphene also is way easier to use their google play sandbox then messing around with microg and shit on lineage. I’d love to see the sandbox stuff ported to lineage or similar but I imagine its pretty baked into graphene. Since I care a little about privacy but also just want my phone to be rooted so I can do whatever I want with it. Oh well maybe someday.

themelm , (edited ) to piracy in The New York Times tried to block the Internet Archive: another reason to value the latter

Same with engineering type courses too. And all my science labs. And any contracts job forms etc. I’m constantly trying to get apprentices to break the habit of scratching things out. We dont destroy information. What if you were wrong about being wrong? And write units for things and not just numbers dammit.
