I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

Ironically I’ve tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn’t work. I’m currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

It’s how people have been talking for, like, 20 years now at least

Yeah, that bar isn’t that high really is it. Imagine if they actually kept their word!

Oh in that case you could ask if it’s running on Windows, cos you don’t want any forced updates halfway through…

I use sync for lemmy, so every time I go on lemmy I see ads. Also when YouTubers have in- video sponsor ads. I skip them but it’s still an inconvenience. Same for podcasts

Better late than never

Seems to me that it took a huge amount of time and resources to reach the new score, and I’m guessing they don’t have the budget to do the same for every model

No it’s “literally” been reduced to $1000.

there’s fuck all waste, it’s not that big a deal

I tried for 2 years, but with long work hours I didn’t have much time to meet new people and since I’d just moved there for work, I didn’t know anybody. Cost of living was great and I loved the friendly people and pace of life. I just couldn’t handle the loneliness and isolation. I would do it again, but with a better work life balance and a stronger intention to meet people and make new friends.

uhh yeah, so anyway, this is good news for Taiwan because they have a MASSIVE country on their doorstep that has been threatening to invade for decades now, and having another powerful country recognise their existence is great because it discourages mainland China from invading.

Somehow I doubt Russia would have been better off with Prighozhin in charge. I mean he was the one who did Putins dirty work for him.

It’s true they did, and it took me less than a minute to make an account on a new instance. An instance that I know will never block said community, because it’s hosted from here!

what a legend

I mean you still need to pay for your VPN/ Usenet server subscription, but it’s more like $80/ year as opposed to per month

Well put, I agree

I don’t think they’re beyond redemption. My hope is that Linus can take a step back and let the CEO work on improving the workplace culture. No idea if he’s up to the challenge but time will tell
