I guess for most people it would be. Certainly I’d be like “sorry dad but I can buy a house an have my future be much more secure” if my kid did the same I’d like to think I’d understand as well…but this is for normal people. To these very well known and well off comedians is 375k that much? It’s like the equivalent of me getting like 5k which I’m not sure I would betray my morals for. Having said that nobody’s offering me 5k to!

Seconded. It’s much more powerful than what I use it for, but it works a treat. We just have a VM for it running and every few months or so renew the image we use. Really this was the solution to waiting for windows updates lol. The USB part wasn’t so bad, but having to update through windows update from scratch every time took ages…

I wonder how many body guards you have to hire until you start to think “hmm maybe if this many people wish me harm I must actually be being a dick, let’s change that!”

Until it becomes an arms race, blades will be made of lightweight metals that are super thin to save weight and therefore sharp, and motors be built with more torque.

Yeah I went 3 months without having a single face to face conversation with someone, it was pretty shit even with online gaming and discord.

I feel like that’s more a problem of whatever specific gyms you are going to. Ones I go to have usually have signs up saying no cameras allowing people to just focus on their own workout. Regardless, the point is that if you want to help people overcome their “the world is against me, no woman wants me” mind set of an incel, there should be more spaces that let people interact with others outside of online algorithm controlled or bot account flooded social media platforms. Places to meet and converse with real people of any gender. All of a sudden they will probably realise that most people are actually nice. Most people don’t generally go around trying to make people feel shit or uncomfortable.

These third spaces don’t have to be exclusively young men lol. In fact it might be better if they aren’t given the specific topic of people we are talking about in this thread. In general an increase in community locations is a good thing, but it seemed especially so for people in the intel rabbit hole. Somewhere casual they can come out of their shells and meet people in the real world!

Yeah and the reason young men are finding it hard to have real life friends and end up on uncle forums is because we lost most of our “third spaces” thanks to them not making money and shutting down or being underfunded or closed if they were publicly owned.

Ontop of this the constant algorithms that push specific topics to people over and over due to it keeping them on the platform and therefore generates income.

It does feel like 75% of this problem could be fixed by stopping corporate greed and fixing our local communities as whole.

Agreed, meant they were backing people up for double the time… However George’s move made me realise perhaps we just need a shortcut, like a joker lap from rally cross but it’s actually quicker not longer, and they are limited to use it once a each only or something.

Are the game developers and artists wages now being increased by the same percentage though? You are correct overall, especially in places like the UK where wages have been stagnant since like 2008 it feels like. But letting a company off the hook for raises “due to inflation” if they themselves are not raising their workers salaries to meet that inflation is bullshit.

Interesting approach from an institute that banned having anonymous SIM cards!

Guys, as a European, does this only affects servers and hardware built in the US right? Isn’t most of it built in china and owned by US companies? So it’s literally only the US this will affect?

Been using EZmeal for a while. It’s not super feature rich but is good enough!

And also how many of these people were actually shopping for a new car? Most people I know all buy used cars anyway.

Unfortunately he’s desperate for help, so dignity goes out the window. Even worse is that these pigs not only are trying to exploit the desperation for economic gain but also want to try and make a show of it for the public in this car crash of a video…

But don’t worry guys Kamala was pro Israel! I literally called all this shit during the elections. Everyone on lemmy losing their fucking minds because Harris wouldn’t condemn Israel and all I kept asking was “sure but what will trump do?” And getting downvoted to oblivion. Still 99% sure they were bots but like… serious short sightedness if not.

Well this seemed like potentially a very convenient fix to a problem I was having but turns out the game I’m trying to play can’t be forced into using the gpu for some reason…. Cool utility though, shame it’s really needed at the same time!

So I actually spent a few seconds thinking about it and I think the main problem would come down to moderation? Ultimately if someone who wrote a paper wanted to distribute it they could do so using existing sites like pastebin or GitHub. The concern with running one myself would be “how do I know this doesn’t contain child abuse images or something”.

How is this a thing? How has nobody just started hosting their own papers? What does it need except a fairly basic website and some storage for the papers themselves? Forgive the ignorance, I’m an IT guy not a scientist…

Assuming the scale is the same or similar to the GBA SP back in the day, this looks horrendously un-ergogenomic…even as a kid the location of the buttons was sometimes awkward to hold for longer sessions, also the lower down place of those thumb sticks would make it 10 times worse!
