Or just use QEMU/KVM wirh VirtIO extensions if you don't need hardware rendering on Windows. Problem is most dual-booters I know use Windows to play games with kernel anti-cheat. Not much you can do to virtualize that
The product in this article (Precursor) is not the same as what Lemmy instances use (Turnstile). Turnstile uses the same cryptographic proof-of-work puzzle as Anubis and does not track any of these other metrics. If you see a CAPTCHA-style "Verified" message with Cloudflare's logo, you're seeing Turnstile, not Precursor.
Midwest US here too and my family also had this table when I was a kid. This comment section feels like a bunch of midwesterners realizing the midwest US isn't the entire world lol
IIRC it was mainly backlash for them integrating Microsoft ads without tracker blocking. They did walk it back after public backlash, though they still use Microsoft ads, just anonymously.
That and their recent generally AI-positive messaging has alienated anti-AI people, but they seem to be walking some of that back too.
To me it feels like they are generally good, but somewhat out of touch with their userbase, which causes a blunder here and there. They're also a US-based organization, so make of that what you will.
Personally I still use the NoAI version of DDG because no EU-based alternatives have feature parity yet.
As someone who worked at a park district, this is 100% true and such a big problem. Those fuckers grow to be like 18 inches long and have thousands of babies.
Someone dumped a couple they got at a fair into one of our ponds and within a few years they were nearly the only life left in the entire pond. They eat anything and everything in their path and decimate local ecosystems. They're the freahwater equivalent of locusts.
We ended up electrifying the entire pond, scooping them all up, and rebuilding the whole natural ecosystem back up from scratch. You can't do that with a lake tho
I think it means that Trump is replacing her with someone else, not that he's taking both positions. I was confused at first too.
From the article:
President Donald Trump says he's replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
First off, congrats on only reading/responding to the first few sentences of my response, and cherry-picking the least important part to elaborate on.
Second, I will reiterate that this is a completely disingenuous comparison using a chart which has no discernibly legitimate or verifiable source. There are not only 12 majors in the world, so your assertion that "computer scientists are on average the least literate, least well read college graduates by quite a margin" is a misrepresentation of the data, as you should well know.
Third, the majors and specific comparisons made in this chart seem hand-picked to shed Computer Science in a bad light, as every single major it is compared against is necessarily communications-oriented, and the categories of comparison are not representative of the full range of reading and writing skills you claim them to be. Feel free to disprove this, by providing an actual source for your claims other than a grainy chart that doesn't actually back them. Otherwise, quit with the weird superiority complex, especially as someone who is supposedly responsible for educating these "idiots".
Edit: What on earth does political affiliation have to do with any of this? Conservative my ass, I'm a democratic socialist and leaning anarchist the longer I reflect on it.
In all seriousness, there should be a control for liberal arts education. Computer Science is a specialized and rigorous field. If it's taught as the sole subject of a person's education, of course they are going to miss a lot compared to a degree in the arts. Meanwhile, as a computer science student at a liberal arts college, I'd wager I can communicate just fine.
Further, this chart feels disingenuous here due to your use of it to seemingly attempt justifying a cause-effect relationship where only correlation exists. Of course Computer Science students perform poorly in reading and writing compared to Philosophy and English majors. People who like reading and writing gravitate towards those majors, so they naturally will have a higher population of good communicators. The real issue is the failure of primary education in its attempt to train the general populace to read and write with any reasonable level of proficiency.
Also, since when are reading and writing the test of a person's cognitive function? Some of the most genuinely intelligent people I know couldn't write a good analytical essay if their life depended on it. Everyone has different strengths; for Computer Scientists, those just happen to be mathematics and deterministic logic instead of interpersonal communication. I don't get where the hate is coming from.
P.S. I'd read the study but the image is too low-res to make out the URL
Probably because a good chunk of "computer scientists" are actually engineers. I say this as a computer scientist in the engineering college of my school
Let me guess, iPhone?
