Ask fusion researchers, they’ve been maintaining a 30 year difference for decades.

About as well as a swarm of locusts turning to cannibalism after all the plants are eaten.

Just some jerkface.

We are too fucking close to falling in the same hole. We’ve been importing US politics on a 5-10 year delay for 60 years, and I hope the nightmare below the 49th finally makes enough of us choose a different path.

A lot of the NDP voters I know both voted Liberal this election and regret doing that. The best part of this seems to be that the NDP seems to have woken up and started to be a party again.

Doing political things, like attending town hall meetings or party fundraisers, could count for tax rebates like donations do, and a certain amount of days off work each year could be required to be available for such things.

Election days could be national holidays, and local election days local holidays.

If being poor or being required to work is really that much of an issue, I’m sure a billionaire could afford 60k UBI for ten thousand people.

Loads of the left-leaning folks here think Democrats are evil too.

Why is it that between the arbitrary number we invented to tell ourselves when to do things, and the motion of The Earth, we see our numbers as sacrosanct and think we move the stars with our bits of ink on paper?

If light in the morning is good, lets just begin our occupations later! 8 isn’t even some holy time, lots of occupations begin at different times in different regions and within the same region!

As it is, the numbers are losing their meaning. Today, in the same time zone, sunrise could be at 4, or 5:30. In another time zone, 7:04 & 5:22. Our experiences of time are not the same.

I strongly disagree that changing the numbers permanently will change when we do things. Not all jobs start at the same time. Some region’s 9-5 is an 8-4 for another region. What I do know is that 12 should be roughly noon, and having 1 or 2 be noon lessens our perception of time, especially between regions. More important than people having 8 at the same time is that 8 means the same thing between people.

It feels more like a german apology from 1937, right before they started annexing their neighbors.

I like Bazzite because it has a bunch of optimisations for getting games runnin well, and because it disallows applications screwing with the system. If I really need an application that demands it’s files be put in a bunch of places I can’t audit easily, it can go in a toolbox and not impact the system, or I can audit exactly what it does and layer it into the system.

For a Linux newbie, I really appreciate a system that stays what it is, and doesn’t let anything change that without my explicit approval.

And Ontario sucks because Doug Ford sucks. It’s a vicious cycle that needs to be broken somewhere.

I think their point is that it’s not just energy that we get from oil, but lubricants, rubbers, solvents, asphalt, plastics, and so on…

EV only tackle the energy part. They still need tyres, seals and gaskets, insulation, road surfaces, and more…

To be rid of oil is a huge undertaking comprising thousands of individual cases of finding renewable alternatives or stopping use entirely. Which is why we need to be working to remove oil from every step today, not partially removing three steps because it’s cheap and distracts environmentalists from the other 14,962 steps.

I’ve noticed several newpipe derivatives having issues recently, it is a protocol thing? Did the YT API change in some places?

“Musume” is closer in usage to “Maiden”, and is often used in the same way words like “woman” and “girl” are used in titles, like Wonder Woman or Batgirl.

It doesn’t have a connotation of family by itself.

It got much worse when they went AI First.

Can they just get to the extinguish step already?

Propaganda was short for “congregation for propagating the faith” in 1718, and meant a movement or organization for the propagation of ideology before the end of the 1700s. The modern usage refering to the information disseminated is from after WWI (which wasn’t perjoritive at the time), when German telegraph lines to other countries were cut and they turned to high-power radio communication. The negative connotation comes from WWII after Germany’s very effective use of it.

Nevertheless, propaganda has been used as long as humans have existed, and much like the subcategory “advertisement”, is more effective with as many lies as one can get away with. There’s nothing inherently untruthful about propaganda, but neither is it inherently truthful. It’s manipulation, and can still be effective without lies. It’s much broader than papers to circumvent censure.

Propaganda was originally a branch of the Catholic Church, so the connotation is that it’s as full of crap and dishonesty as apologetics.

It’s more inherent than that in most cases. The job attracts power trippers, the culture and standards in most precincts encourages abusive assholes and corruption, and once the cops can cover for each other it becomes self-selecting for abuse. At least in North America, cops are heavily pre-disposed to being bastards, even before the reality of their purpose.

Why would you want your OS to use you’re memory? My browser already takes too much, and I really push my system trying to run dev-builds of games built for desktops.
