whereupon they cold-called me to ask why i was so frustrated despite apparently being in the 95th percentile of all applicants

LOL, “despite.” You were frustrated because you were in the 95th percentile of applicants! Only the shittiest of the incompetents would put up with that nonsense.

a very low-paid job because the work is not for an unethical purpose

Are you hiring?

Zen 3 chips would take roughly just as much rare earth materials to make as Zen 5 ones. Moreover, raw materials availability isn’t the problem right now anyway; fab capacity on the latest process nodes is the problem.

I’m feeling “those are appliances, not utensils” today.

(Except for #2, anyway.)

“It might not matter” is fucking ridiculous. Of course it matters – even if the attempt at obstruction doesn’t succeed, the fact that they tried is still a goddamn outrage!

Luckily, somebody realized they were being a dipshit and changed it. The headline as of when I loaded the page was much less asinine:

The FBI Is Obstructing the Minneapolis Probe. The ICE Shooter Should Still Be Very Worried.

Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it. Frankly, your argument kinda proves my point.

It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?

That’s not enough. Everybody else needs to quit using it too.

No, problem is not solved. Ceasing to use Reddit yourself is necessary, but not sufficient. For the societal harm to end, everybody else needs to quit using it too.

“This is wrong” — Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight

Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Ah, TIL. I just figured it was the KDE-est general-purpose distro.

But still, shouldn’t it at least have a development version of Plasma Login Manager sooner than any others, for testing?

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

Also worth remembering that stories like that go nationwide because they’re unusual. If cops did that on any sort of routine basis it wouldn’t be newsworthy.

Close. Politicians are hellbent on making them invade privacy, using “preventing” crimes before they happen as a pretext.

Do you have to be European?

They try so hard to be a porn comic, but they keep accidentally being a good regular one instead half the time.

Wish I knew about that trick back then! I shelled out for an X4…

Bulldozer was AMD’s Pentium 4.

To be fair, I upgraded my main desktop directly from a Phenom II X4 840(?) to a Ryzen 1700x without owning any Bulldozer stuff in between.

(I did later buy a couple of used Opteron 6272s, but that’s different for multiple reasons.)

The fuck does any of that have to do with the comic, though?

What on earth is that much system RAM needed for lol.
