  • Given the recent payment controversy, I have an interesting question. Why are people so interested in porn and NSFW stuff?

    Jump

  • I generally don't think about sex unless it's relevant to a discussion so the analogy kind of breaks down for me. But when you liken something to food, the immediate thought coming to my mind is that you can't live without it.

    I guess if you really wanted to stick with the food metaphor from my perspective it would be more like: "If all food tasted bland to you and you didn't have to care about the nutrients/hunger would you still eat?" Taking the analogy past its breaking point, my experience is like that question but if the world fundamentally judges you based on your favorite food and inserts generic barely related food pictures into every show or movie you try to watch.

  • I don't understand how anyone past puberty can't understand it

    Some people are ace? Not that I'm against people having the right to make NSFW stuff (the idea of "NSFW" is pretty heavily influenced by advertisers to begin with, outside of NSFL stuff like gore and trauma) but this analogy makes it seem like you can't live without having or imagining sex at all times. I personally don't get enjoyment out of being horny at all.

    The real problem is that payment processors shouldn't be able to block transactions for things that aren't illegal, full stop. The recent precedents just let Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal label anything with themes they don't like (LGBTQ+, gender equality, body dysmorphia and other issues related to physical appearance, etc.) as suggestive content and censor it. That shouldn't be legal anywhere claiming to have freedom of speech/expression (but they don't seem to mind supporting hate speech!)

  • If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).

  • Can any Linux distros do anything with a NPU yet?

    Jump

  • This isn't an Arm vs x86 thing though, newer CPUs pretty much across the board from Intel/AMD/Qualcomm have an additional NPU that they use for AI acceleration.

    As for support, you might be able to use them? It probably depends on the exact software but they might be able to be used for local LLMs. It's not exactly clear what practical uses they have even on Windows so that doubly applies to Linux just because it's more niche.

  • The Promised Neverland? I thought it only has one season.

    It only has one season. It would really be a shame if they made a season 2 and ruined it right?

  • Multimc is abandoned afaik - Prism is the actively maintained fork now

    (MultiMC still works fine I think for vanilla but it's a pain for managing fabric mods compared to prism)

  • If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?

  • The Acela (faster one) is also several times a day now, but it's more like every 2-3 hours instead of 1

  • Boston to NY is more like hourly - Amtrak has a lot of trains going on the line from Boston to/from DC (DC also has a very good transit system for the US at least from what I've heard).

    The problem with those trains is that they're expensive and slower - the Amtrak northeast regional costs $75-300 (depending on the date and time, as Amtrak is a company and charges more around holidays and during peak travel hours 🙃) each way from NY to Boston and takes ~4-4.5 hours. Driving can take 3.5-4 if you plan around rush hours in both cities.

  • which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was

    I don't think I'm alone in saying "light" and "well-optimized" are not words that fit the Windows 8.1 experience.

    Mediocre in almost all aspects is the best descriptor for 8.1 and honestly that's pretty generous given how bad 8.0 was

  • In sheep's rule

    Jump

  • A lot of sheep need their wool sheared off in the summer to survive. They'll die of heat exhaustion if it isn't. That being said, it's entirely humanity's fault for selectively breeding those sheep and probably not the case for wild ones.

  • I use refind also, there should be a setting somewhere to let refind scan entries from other EFI partitions. I have that setup and just created a second EFI partition for my Linux setup, so that Windows has no idea Linux even exists. I even have everything running off of the same drive (my laptop only has one nvme slot) and I haven't had any issues.

  • Didn't know it only applied to UWP apps on Windows. That does seem like a pretty big problem then.

    I don't still have a Mac readily available to test with but afaik it is any application that uses Apple's packaging format. It could also be that it needs to be in the "Applications" folder, but I'm almost certain it isn't an App Store exclusive feature.
