Thanks!

Could you elaborate on why Thinkpads that came after the 480 are no good? I’m looking to get a laptop and am probably getting a thinkpad. Is it the easily removable battery?

Do you mean T480?

Isn’t the comment helpful for others who may find it, because it makes that Linux is capable of supporting music recording?

Obviously it’s not very helpful for the person who is sticking with Ableton.

Damn, they might pull me back from kde plasma.

They’ve made the first reusable orbital rockets (falcon 9 first stage), and made the practice routine.

They’re the first to ever fly a full-flow-staged-combustion rocket engine (raptor), combining high power and high efficiency.

Starship has already broken records (owing to its sheer size), and if it fully pans out it will be the largest rocket ever, and the first fully reusable orbital rocket. Next test flight is probably early next year.

SpaceX are making significant progress in rocket technology.

The perception that their rockets blow up all the time is due to their proximity to Elon Musk, the high amount of publicity their tests receive, & a healthy serving of confirmation bias.

Eventually Netflix will kick me off the family account but there’s no way I’m paying for that garbage. I might pay for Hulu as they have a much better selection for my tastes.

You won’t notice a difference in h265 4k video as each has a decoder, but Youtube performance would definitely be improved. My Rpi4 struggles with 4k60p youtube videos because it lacks a VP9 decoder.

epistemology is a big topic and we’re clearly operating on some contradictory premises/priors but I’ll continue to engage in good faith.

I think I’d consider the following as evidence of an event: photos/video, eyewitness testimony, and measurement data; each provided with provenance/traceability through the entire chain of reporting. Each reporting agent’s credibility on the topic plays a role in weighing the evidence.

Finally the believability (another big term) of the claim itself plays a important role in how much evidence is necessary for me to believe it. Here’s where I put on my internet atheist hat and reference the “Sagan Standard”: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and it’s corollary: a claim asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Okay but which one is wikipedia aligned with? Could you link to your information? I’m trying to learn.

I’m confused, can you elaborate? The DPRK is North Korea’s name for itself. WPK is its majority party. Are you claiming they’re part of a political international that wikipedia is on good terms with?

The NPR article also has no evidence for an earlier outbreak. They just report what the North’s government stated, and add that the reader shouldn’t believe them.

Sure they share a border with China, but China had COVID pretty well controlled for a significant portion of the pandemic. That combined with the DPRK’s survival strategy of self-reliance make it seem plausible to me that they were clear of it until the vastly more contagious variant became dominant.

So far, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to the contrary.

Oh good to know, thanks!.

Humanitarian? Or care work maybe?

one of the first to suffer.

It didn’t outbreak until 8 May 2022 according to your source, so they made it until after Omicron evolved.

I’m not OP but this is true for a Railroader.

It’s a big part of why they were near striking recently.

Do you want a pat on the back?

Edit: also fuck off. How about you donate to Canada plus while you’re at it.

Mullvad is good

Newpipe sponsorblock is so good.
