I’ve submitted a few pull requests to some self hosting software repos. I’ve also put in a lot of time editing a large crowd sourced data set. Currently working on a crowd sourced set of translations on old public domain comics.

Even just reporting bugs you find or interface pain points is a big help. Nothing wrong with just being a user.

Snap packages have a larger install size, run slower, increase resource usage (so more RAM and CPU cycles), the snap store is a closed source system so you get things like Cryptocoin wallet scams , and personally, I think conceptually snap system leads to poor library maintenance long term

Kind of? The cells, called adipocytes, primarily store triglycerides and a few other things in a liquid form. When you lose weight that liquid gets squeezed out and used as energy, to build other chemicals your body needs, or peed straight out.

So less a shower and more getting rung out like a sponge.

But then more people might be willing to risk it and ride in aid. Israel definitely doesn’t want that. (Not saying it’s a good thing just the optics would cause them just as many problems)

The 7 year thing is a myth. Howtown has a very good summary on it. 7 year myth some cells are replaced but how often depends on the cell type, some never get replaced.

When you gain weight your fat cells grow, and when you lose weight they shrink. You don’t actually gain and lose fat cells the way people think. However, the stuff in those cells could very well be old. It’s a complex system and hard to sum up and I’m only friends with the biology people from college but that’s what I understand from them.

Curseforge, another Minecraft launcher that many modpacks get uploaded to and also supports multiple versions, has been working for about a year for me on Linux Mint too incase she ever wants that.

Because people have to spend more time maintaining The Sex Machine then using it

This is why I just develop on the production machine.

Was feeling a little Wooooo today. Just know your post made me feel a little more Weeeee

Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.

We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

I’ve never seen convincing arguments for that. However, if you think about it, Google wants you to stay scrolling through it forever. The more sponsored links and ads they can show, the more money they make. They didn’t need to make it worse for AI, they made it worse for profit

Or PonyOS

That’s even assuming the book you want is available and wasn’t a super limited printing that you couldn’t even begin to afford in the first place.

For anyone stumbling along. “Retina display” is their marketing speak for higher pixel density than “average”.

To answer the second. Nvidia today announced the $100,000,000,000 investment in OpenAI. On the face of it because AI is coming and this will secure them a larger chunk of the pie.

In reality, it’s probably a grift so OpenAI can go to other investors and say “look, we’re getting so much money, get on board or miss out” and then buy even more Nvidia product with even more investor money to keep the circle going.

Not give, but signed a $300 billion deal to purchase cloud compute power from them, which will be filled with Nvidia cards.

In many Christian communities gold = heaven. Many of the people I grew up with believe Trump gold plating everything is a sign of his closeness to God. The statue isn’t a direct idol, but it’s so close and tied with so much other imagery and language in those communities that it’s not fully free from it either.

Vaughn (Christian nationalist preacher) sums up their thoughts. “Donald Trump has glorified the Oval Office…Somebody said, ‘I don’t like all that gaudy gold.’ Then you’re not going to like the kingdom of God very much, where streets are even made out of it, according to people’s understanding. The Ark of the Covenant — covered in gold. The Altar of Incense — covered in gold. The Table of Shewbread — covered in gold. The Menorah — covered in gold. Because gold is godly. Gold speaks of heavenly things. And the United States of America was founded by the decree of heaven. So thank you, President Trump, and I pray that ballroom has gold toilets. I can’t wait. What a great day to be an American.”

They stop short of praying to it, but there’s a weird idolization of Trump and his gold imagery that the gold statue has become the face of. There’s this feeling at least that Trump’s followers worship him as they use all the imagery that was specifically preached against in large swathes of the country for hundreds of years. It was held up as the ultimate sign of sin amongst humans and now they’re embracing that imagery.

As a software developer with 10+ years in .Net. I don’t even bother with Microsoft documentation anymore, it’s often wrong or outdated and skips chunks that even senior devs need.

I swear centering in css is intentionally left as a Lovecraftian mess simply so front end devs can feel superior
