  • Could a 5 oz drone carry a 1 lb coconut?

  • I wish I could get steam to run on my Linux OS, it'll only play like 3 of the games I want, and none of the VR ones

  • 100% agree. Don't get me wrong, zorin looks nice and I've considered trying it a couple times. But kubuntu is where it's at. My brother is old school though, and has a Gentoo install he keeps going, but he gets the latest plasma, kubuntu is a major release behind.

    There are options that get you latest, still on a Debian base, but it wasn't as stable as kubuntu so I switched back.

    Linux is the only thing that will really revive an old apple product, even if it runs macos pretty well still, you can't get any of the apps to run because they're no longer offered, and then if you can install an old one, it auto updates to a non-functional version. (This just happened to me)

    I still can't quit Windows entirely, visual studio is important to what I'm working on.

  • Not always, but usually. We can hope!

  • There's a great deal of real news that goes through the app. It's the majority of the content I see.

  • https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/09/27/updated_race_data/

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States

    this is the data that racists (like Kirk) use to justify white supremacy. But the wrongful conviction rate is proven to be nearly the same.

    https://eji.org/news/study-shows-race-is-substantial-factor-in-wrongful-convictions/

    The report, Race and Wrongful Convictions in the United States 2022, reviewed the cases of 3,200 innocent defendants exonerated in the U.S. since 1989 and found that Black Americans are seven times more likely than white Americans to be falsely convicted of serious crimes. This is true across all major crime categories except for white collar crime, the report said.

    We didn't end slavery, just made it palatable to the masses by labeling it "punishment for a crime". They just need people to feel superior to those being exploited. Claiming it's because whites were superior stopped being effective for the majority, so they made it so it seems they do more crime instead.

    Additionally, there is more crime in predominantly black areas, but it's not because "black people are more violent" or whatever the hell, it's because racism has made it crazy difficult for black individuals that aren't born rich to progress. They were only sold houses or given apartments in certain areas, forced into poverty by lack of given opportunity, and while (I hope) that's less today, there has been a lasting effect on the general population. When you have to do crime to keep you and your family safe and fed, you do crime.

  • Anyone notice how long it took for that one image to paint? Thing must be like 70MB. Far beit for me to expect any amount of web optimisation from this admin

  • She's only doing it to keep her seat. Should still be replaced. While she's weirdly actually doing her doing her actual job and listening to her constituents, it's just a stop-gap until she's reelected, then she'll go back to shouting "Jewish space lasers" or whatever the hell and pandering to whatever Republican president is in office.

  • Meanwhile in KY, our governor's decisions (like to make conversion therapy illegal) get vetoed

  • Some US states as well, at least it was a couple years ago. Oregon IIRC

  • Harvard just released a free civics course. I've been looking into starting that.

  • I agree in part. But most of these people are as gullible as they are BECAUSE of religion. They're taught from birth to follow unquestioningly, and to trust their feelings over evidence. (I know, I was one) Without religion, then indoctrinating children wouldn't be as easy or widespread.

  • That was probably the actual software, when it's actually released it'll probably be human ran.

  • Can almost guarantee it's driven remotely by some underpaid Indian team

  • You had me for a sec!

  • I believe most of the blame was on non-voters.

  • I think that would be something I'd watch, and I'm not one for capital punishment or public displays of violence.

  • While shorter, and means the same, it's not as clear, or as impactful
