  • It’s wild how much stuff is manufactured on processes considered obsolete for high end cpu/gpu production

  • iOS accidentally has this feature if you use apple health to track medications. Whenever the time zone changes, it’ll send the user a notification to ask the user if they want to adjust the schedule for the different time zone or maintain the existing times

  • I mean, just looking at a store like Best Buy, the snapdragon laptops look really good for their price. If you’re not gaming, they do office and school tasks just as well. And for a lot of people, the thin fanless one that doesn’t get hot and has 30 hours of battery life is really what they want in a device. And they’re used as chromebooks in a lot of cases, where compatibility isn’t really a concern.

  • Yes, thousands of often highly specialized, experienced mercenaries.

  • The internet was developed by ARPA, then later made available to universities and eventually private connections. Military and public research developed the tech, capitalists figured out how to most efficiently sell junk using the tech.

  • Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.

  • I use the assistant, because it has so many models to choose from. I hope they can make a mobile app for it in the future

  • Organizations aren’t just paying for access to applications, they’re also paying for cloud storage, email hosting, calendar tools, training, and all of the infrastructure to support that. Typically when you price out the cost of expanding the in-house IT department and the cost of acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure required to replicate the various cloud services, it ends up being break even at best. Qualified people who can set up and maintain infrastructure are quite expensive, especially when having to maintain high uptime/availability, 24/7 incident response, and compliance with various regulations, like those to protect students’ privacy.

  • I’ve found Kagi has been good enough to justify the subscription price. I like that I can block certain sites, pin and promote others. It has some neat AI features but they only activate when requested and never replace actual results.

  • Racist stereotypes are still racist

  • It’s just unfounded racism

  • Bringing a good argument to a gunfight is unfortunately not a winning strategy. When the fascists have no qualms shooting you simply for being yourself, no amount of peaceful organizing is going to stop them. Peaceful protests and organizing only work because they have the implicit threat of violence if the demands are not met.

  • I assumed it referred to a lake of fondue

  • I think you’re expecting this PEP to be something that it is not. It is not supposed to be a full solution to dependency hell (which I’m not really sure that there is). It is supposed to just allow a static method to declare dependencies, notably supporting both Python package and non-Python-package dependencies. There are plenty of use cases for when you might want incompatible sets of dependencies, for a simple example consider a graphics library with both a Vulkan and OpenGL backend. You could reasonably argue that you should allow both to coexist and just select the best one at runtime, but when you’re dealing with native libraries that’s not always possible, and there is no way to make a guarantee about compatibility without excluding all non-pure Python dependencies.

  • That’s not the speech I was referring to, the speech I am referring to is the speech of regular people whose voices are censored on American social media. TikTok, being non-American, offers a platform for those who are at odds with the American oligarchy.

  • Yeah I wasn’t confused by the diesel generator, but typically electric motors are smaller and simple enough that they’re not considered an engine.

  • Wait why would you need two engines? Or are you counting the diesel generator as one and the electric motor as one?

  • Celebrating the US government implementing protectionist policies to benefit American oligarchs and limit free speech? Seems like a dumb holiday

  • I don’t think iPhones are a relevant metric in OLED adoption, they’ve been using them since 2017.
