I think there were some clashes during the protests and also the movement got kinda perverted into some pseudo racist exclusivity and also had a lot of white people with white saviour complexes. There are also the folks who think that it should say All Lives Matter but they are kinda missing the point.

I just visited the US and I was dumbfounded how insane your city planning is. Like you literally can’t just make a short shopping trip on foot. You’d have to walk half an hour to even reach basic stores because the sprawl is so bad (City in CA with about 100k inhabitants) and then there are parking spaces everywhere. Like atleast half to 2/3 of the land space is used for parking. And ofc most parking is planned so they can accomodate everyone which means they’re always atleast half empty.

Lol I still don’t really understand ipv6 and I work in IT. Ipv4 is so much easier and nicer to work with

Wait LAME encoders are now obsolete? Tf? How did I miss this?

Atleast better than the train network lmao

And is now illegal lol

Lmao gtfo! Lightning COULD have been a standard if Apple wasn’t so horny about stuffing their money up their walled-garden-arse. But nah you need a license to even connect to it, not to mention manufacture it. Well tough luck and good riddance to fucking Apple proprietary cables and 50.- recharging kits.

The tersorium was shared by people using public latrines. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease among those using the latrines such as typhoid and cholera.

Definitely a horrendous idea and not cash money at all. I’d be carrying my own water bucket. Why not wash your ass with clean water (like India)? I’m pretty sure they also had soap then and to save soap you can also use soap water. I mean it’s really not hard to have a bucket or well with soap water and use flowing water to rinse.

I believe working 2-3 days a week would actually be enough and with the right organization method would allow even crucial 24/7 positions to be manned (like nursing and care staff). Plus you’d basically never be understaffed because you’d have lots of backups.

8 hours a month sounds a bit too utopian to me.

Gaded bastard

Originally but afaik they rewrote basically the whole OS over the years and nothing of the original BSD remains. That’s what I heard but I never verified.

It sucks in the way you understand and know because nothing else even exists. No one is interested in having to cater to their walled garden unless there’s money to be made. Meanwhile both Linux and Windows have many open source projects and hobbyists working on things. So you might get a mac driver for something you buy but most of the time macos is an afterthought at best in many hobby projects. Also lol mac gaming is a joke. Even Linux is getting better support now than macos in that regard since the Steamdeck.

Haha the only thing a quantum channel does is verifying if a message has been altered (looking at a message alters it).
Actual encryption that prevents the Shor algorithm from having a linear running time have been around for quite some time now and can be easily run on normal machines. NIST is just taking its sweet time to decide on one.

Ah yes the eternal American victim complex. I’ve heard about this.

Wym not photo editing? You can do everything aswell in Krita. Changing hues, retouching, selection, layers, saturation, tone balance. All there.
And you can most definitely use it for pixel art. Even if you don’t want to use Krita there exist paint.net, aseprite, piskel or pixelorama. No need for hundreds of dollars for PS.

Honestly ever si ce I discovered Krita I never went back to GIMP. Maybe gimp is more customizable at the base level but fuck me if Krita doesn’t make transitioning out of Photoshop a breeze. Changing from PS to Krita is like switching from a metal baseball bat to a wooden one. Switching from PS to Gimp is like switching out your metal baseball bat for an unfelled pine tree.

Krita? Not good enough?

Y’all still waving your FATCA cock all over the world so excuse us for having some schadenfreude.

Mostly Europeans amuse themselves about how Americans think they’re living in a first world country while having absolute basic developed-world-shit just flat out fail. I.e. health care, consumer regulation, public transit, education, clean water. Sure the US is not uniform but it’s a single country. Even Europe has it’s own problems but most countries have this stuff figured out more or less.
The reason Europeans mock Americans is because Americans always ALWAYS complain about how they’re getting fucked. And Europeans are just like “lol that shit ain’t an issue here”. Which a) contributes to Europeans thinking the US is a shithole and b) making Americans seem kinda whiny.

Not “could”, you very likely are or have been porn to somebody. Like really very likely. Chances are just that they will never tell you and you will never find out.
