I’m still assuming death is inevitable at some point.

If I get “death by plane crash” for example, I don’t necessarily have to fly for this to happen.

If the prediction cannot be altered I might. Because that way I basically have plot armor until I die.

If that information just reflects the current path I’m on but changes based on my actions I don’t want to hear it.

I feel like a lot of replies here have the same “every live is precious and needs to be protected at all costs”-vibe as you get with a lot of anti-abortion arguments.

And the US is everyone’s friend that would never use big tech to spy on people or spread propaganda in foreign countries.

Where do we start and where do we stop with that kind of stuff?

If we ban TikTok we also would need to ban a lot of Social media platforms from the US for the same reason.

Edit: I don’t live in the United States.

What?

I don’t think the internal wear-leveling and overprovisioning of SSDs can or should be able to replace raid. Disregarding a dead sector without losing capacity is great, but it won’t help you when (for example) the controller dies.

Depending on the amount of data you’re storing SSDs also might be too expensive.

The only exception is maybe Raid 0 in a normal PC. Here it’s probably better to just get one disk for each logical drive.

“Lazyness and entitlement” is a weird way of spelling “doesn’t want to contribute to mass murder of civilians”

I guess she assumes that parents are always willing and able to do the best for their kids and can’t be at fault if something bad happens to them.

Ghey is campaigning for the introduction of “children’s phones” with no social media apps, which are linked to their parents’ devices.

This would probably kill more trans kids than the current system ever could.

While I do agree that the internet can and will make any issue a hundred times worse that it would be without it, I very much feel like her argument is just a rehash of the “video games make kids violent”-claim.

Dekkia.

I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.

Deleting my account now means Musk wins.

Oh, I see. I had it on different disks with one efi partition at the start of each. Windows didn’t like that.

Windows will leave your EFi linux boot alone.

I wish that was True. Windows loves to overwrite boot partitions during major updates in my experience.

Not sure if I would call it a threat.

Congressman Seth Moulton prposed to do this in May '23. Taiwan obviously wasn’t happy about that proposal.

Then there’s also a statement by former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien from March '23 where he said that “I can’t imagine they’d be intact” after an invasion of China.

The 2nd one is a bit nebulous but doesn’t talk about reunification but about annexation.

Yes, but that stems more from the fact that the Republic of China (aka Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China both lay claims to be the real China.

You can’t really declare independence from yourself.

Also the PRC would probably attack immediately if the ROC gave up their claim on being china.

Go back to bed.

X is old and very hard to maintain. A lot of rules about how displays work have changed drastically since X became a thing. X went along with most of those changes, which meant the introduction of more and more hacks to keep it running.

Over time X became worse and worse to work on and people realized that it’s easier to write something new from scratch instead of trying to fix the decade-old technical debt in X.

That new thing was Wayland and over time most if not all people that where interested in working on desktop compositing pivoted away from X.

Wayland (as it is always the case with new software of that size) didn’t hit the ground running. It had various issues at the beginning and also follows a different desig philosophy than X.

Despite a lot of issues being fixed some people are still very vocal about not wanting to use wayland for one reason or another. While some of those reasons are valid, most come from ignorance or laziness to adapt.

Maybe they where talking about the shape some cheap in-ears have? If headphones don’t fit your ears well, they’ll start to feel uncomfortable or even hurt after a while.
