If I understand it correctly, it’s “federated” in the sense that you can create similar infrastructure to Bluesky’s using ATProto and have your posts show up there, but that reality seems pretty academic because not many people are doing that compared to Mastodon.

Here’s an explanation

the weird furniture thing looks to be an oversized (overscaled?) film camera without an apeture. I can imagine they used the keyword “instagram” or “Film Grain” in their prompt.

EXPLAIN SETTING UP AUDIO SOFTWARE ON LINUX TO ME OR I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DON’T DUMB IT DOWN INTO SOME VAGUE SHIT! EXPLAIN JACK TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I’LL LITERALLY FUCKING KILL YOU! WHAT THE FUCK IS cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority -4) ? WHAT THE FUCK ARE JACKD and QJACKCTL? DON’T DUMB IT DOWN OR I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU

But seriously I’ve tried getting some music-making/software synths/recording/tracking software together and every time I just bounce off of it because setting it up is just too much effort/out of my regular software wheelhouse/the documentation is like 5 decade-old forum posts with 2 replys.

I’d say so - since you’re coming in relatively cold you’re probably not so used to Windows that you’d get frustrated with how Linux works compared to it, and if you’re just using it for regular, everyday stuff like web browsing there’s practically no difference.

TBF to the Dutch, the regular food they serve you at a restaurant nowadays beats the USA by a mile.

I had fried gator and it was actually a pretty nice meat all considered - it had that “freshwater fish” taste that I kinda dislike but otherwise it was sort of a softer-textured chicken.

If someone you know has/if you have kids: car vaccumn. It’s thoughtful, useful, easier than stopping by the gas station just to clean out the family truckster, and you can find them for around $25 at Walmart.

% of the time I’m using nano to edit something in the terminal, and it’s usually something really minor. I’m using GUIs for the majority of my computing anyway, so if I need some robust text editing, I’ve got a bunch of easier-to-learn, easier-to-use options available, and that’s totally ignoring things like awk, grep, sed, etc.

They’re definitely worth caring about (and for) but I’d say it’s really important to put the dangers of nuclear power in the context of what we’re already doing, and it’s magnitudes safer. While I feel like we should be pushing for more renewables regardless, at the same time nuclear’s still really viable because it doesn’t have the availability (renewables are weather dependent) and storage (you can just keep running it on demand) issues.

IIRC Chernobyl amounted to about 46 people dead from the disaster itself, (the Fukushima incident did not kill anyone at the time it occurred IIRC, three mile island didn’t kill anyone) and while it did release a lot of radioactive material that did result it more cancers/excess mortality, coal burning releases about ten times more radioactive material than a nuclear reactor (coal has trace amounts of radioactive material in it). So even if we’re just comparing the hazards of radiation nuclear is probably the better/cleaner option if there’s a robust and quick response after incidents.

It’s from '06, I think? Apparently Vin Diesel actually turns in a pretty good performance in this, from what I’ve heard.

I’m at about 3TB with about 1/3 of that being games. 1TB is HDD, 1 is SSD, and 1 NVME. I’ve progressively add more drives every time I re-install my system so there’s a bit of cleanup for me to do I guess

I mean it’s to the point that if you’re willing to install an operating system (a smaller sunset of computer users overall) , you can go with Linux no problem

Ah gotcha - well it always comes down to use case, imo.

Libre office’s filtering is far better though- being able to apply actual regex instead of Excel’s weird proprietary pattern matching is just so much better that I opt for it most of the time.

Homeopathy. It’s literally based on the idea that diluting stuff turns it into a remedy.

It’s good now: https://www.protondb.com/

Go with an AMD graphics card, they work right out of the box in Linux so it’s just that much easier.

I think it’d be more useful to generate a set of absolute crap AI content pages and restrict their bot to that set of pages. It’ll make it dumber.
