I had great success installing fedora on a Microsoft surface. It ran better on Linux than it did with windows lol.

That’s why he needed such a high compensation package from tesla lol.

JUST PUT A FUCKING TRAIN ON IT WTF ARE WE DOING

SAVING ELECTRICITY LOL WUT

Making a calibre server has elevated my reading more then I thought possible. It’s like I have a library everywhere I go.

I grew up on the internet of the 90’s and 00’s. Lemmy is a far cry from that, but it’s more like the original internet than reddit or facebook. So here I am. I miss the small, interest driven internet holes you and they’re here more than on any other platform.

Do you know any examples of which companies that have done this? I’m not asking to be facetiois, just genuinely curious.

Do you mean a simple audio or visual test that will test for diseases/ailments other than audio/visual issues? I’m not aware of any, and I doubt they exist. I’m not an expert though. I feel like most of the things mentioned in the meme don’t need a test, imo? Like as long as you’re in touch with your body and pay attention to what you intake these maladies should be easy to differentiate between.

They’re based on color blindness tests. They work because the background and the numbers appear to be the same color, making the number indistinguishable from the background if you have that specific kind of color blindness.

In the classical sense, yes.

Tbh, genocide feels like more of a feature than a bug at this point.

Can’t wait to be teabagged by a Boston Dynamics robo dog after it murders my whole family for paying my Amazon Prime 2 days late!

Most of what people believe about America’s history is post WWII mythmaking and revision. It’s a shame because the labor movement in America has a fascinating history, and we’re about to relive it.

I don’t get this debate because I think people who like air fryers and people who don’t like air fryers are 2 different demographics? Air fryers are cheap, small, and fast. That fits a lot of people’s needs who are single, newly entering the work force, or just struggling to make a decent wage. A large, expensive convection oven doesn’t fit a lot of people’s needs. Isn’t it just okay to accept that these products are aimed at different sectors of the market?

I’d argue that even though the principles convection oven and an air fryer are the same the physics of how an air fryer works are actually different from how a convection oven does, but I don’t feel like typing that out right now. So here’s a YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvHUZtKCqvo

Are there any performance losses running Windows VM to play games? Asking as I am new to this.

The power companies here are privately owned, and America has a lot of laws dealing with what the government can and can not tell private companies what to do. Most of the laws deal with what the government cannot do. Basically, the company sells electricity at cost, then sends the government a letter that’s like, “Hey, we need $$$ for repairs, upgrades, and stock holders. Here’s all the upgrades we want.” And the government is like “Sure, this is America, gotta turn a profit,” and gives the utility companies whatever they ask for. Then the utility companies just give all the money to the stock holders, perform the bare minimum repairs to operate, and just lie to the government about what they did with the money. There is an especially egregious case in South Carolina where a utility claimed for years that they were going to build a nuclear plant to help meet energy demands in the area. Well after an audit, turns out the owner just pocketed all that money. That guy was punished, but see how bad it has to get before anything happens?

This video does a much better job at explaining it than I ever could. It’s long, but they explain how utilities make a profit in the first 15 mins. https://youtu.be/2n_au5Hje_E?si=S9e8o7QQpFjueZta

I’m speaking from an American perspective, but what you’re describing is part of the problem. Power companies are legally not allowed to make a profit from selling electricity here. They make a profit from the government giving them money to expand their services (this model was developed following world war 2 to encourage post war growth).

Again, under America’s current model, solar is not profitable, especially not for large corporations.

It doesn’t matter how cheap solar is. Fossil fuels are still more profitable, because once a fossil fuel plant is built, it needs fossil fuel to run. You can’t do the same with sunlight. We literally cannot shift away from fossil fuels under the current profit driven model.
