Might there not be a way to extract them?

Much faster and less prone to ghosting.

That said, I never took much issue with it. I didn’t have any of the very first e-readers so I’ve no idea if they’d bother me, but my first e-reader, a Kobo Touch from 2011 worked just fine and the refresh rate and ghosting wasn’t a problem.

I think the biggest pro with modern devices (to me personally) is that they’ve gotten more compact. I like how slim and comfortable my Boox Color 7 is.

Dystopia.

We will be enslaved and within few generations, people won’t even understand what happened.

We’re already enslaved. Abide by the system or be punished.

If the road is marked as bus only, surely it’s still bus only? That’s how it works here at least, road signs etc. are applicable until removed. Doesn’t matter if it’s still there because government forgot to remove something. You obey the signs because they keep the roads safe.

Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out

We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …

What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.

No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.

Also, you can stop a bus. It’s an integral part of how they fucking operate. Not that I’d expect a CEO to have ever been on one.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would’ve been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that’s just not doable.

I’d like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven’t read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I’d be interested in or not.

I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.

Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?

I hate discord.

Lots to learn here today! Thanks everyone!

Lähdetään uimaan!

I guess I’ve pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don’t quite get how or why this works, but it’s really cool that it does!

That said I’ve no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I’m terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Yay for Neo-Nazis in government. :(

Huh, the wiring just supports power spontaneously coming from an exit point rather than an entry? Is that commonplace?

Either way, that’s fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me!

Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don’t really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn’t offer anything particularly important I can’t get elsewhere.

I’m paying $850/mo. for my 2-roomer, with a glassed in balcony. Would definitely forego my balcony if I could pay only 350 for it, but that’s a pipedream. $500 upcharge for a balcony is nuts.

Then again, my dear friend spontaneously got her rent increased by like $1500/month a couple years back, and that sort of practice would be illegal where I live, so I could see how charging $500 more per month for a balcony would be a thing.

I’ve never heard of balcony solar panels, much less ones you plug right into an outlet? Asked my German roomie and he’s got no clue either.

How does plugging a power source into an outlet work? I’m no electrician, so that sounds bananas to me.

Visa marriages! I think here in Sweden at least it’s not super difficult to get permanent residency via cohabitation, and cohabitation doesn’t even require any particular paperwork. Granted, it’s been a while since I looked into it, and with a government that’s all chummy with the alt-right our immigration rules have gotten tighter, so things might’ve changed.

I’m hoping with the massive anti-US sentiment going right now, that the next government won’t be right wing.

Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.

Fucking hell.

Capitalism is just the modern label for the same systems that made colonialism tick. The same exploitation is still going on, people are still dying for the same reasons, and the same elite is sitting on top profiting from all of it.

The whole idea of a free and competitive market where good ideas thrive and people that work hard are rewarded is a sham. It’s the same BS idea the elite has always sold us.

There are no great men.

Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE.

Universe is feeling that YOLO.
