Because it lets people simply horrendous actions as “Nazi” and ignore it. People say “Nazis are bad” (true BTW!), but then think no further. Many of the Cardassians actions against Bajor mirror closer to European colonization during the 15th and 16th centuries.

When asked by The Guardian why he had travelled to Moscow, Robinson said: “I’ve come to see how this country got itself so well on to the straight and narrow and see the beauty of a civilised society here.”

Here’s a picture from yesterday of smoke rising from a burning oil terminal in St. Petersburg from a counter attack by Ukraine from the invasion by Russia started in 2022. This was during Russia’s International Economic Forum hoping to spur foreign investment in Russia.

So straight. So narrow. The smoke over the city is so beautiful, apparently.

The Narcissist’s Prayer

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it. <-----We are here

us: “The package contains no lithium batteries. Here’s a list of the contents on the customs declaration and a receipt for the duties paid.”

them: “I have to bring my own box?! Isn’t it your job to give me one for free? Also, whaddayamean I can’t send cigarettes to my nephew back in my home country?!”

I was actively avoiding Godwin’s law here, but you fasttracked us right to it. 😀

For me, this cannot work, the results can only be considered good if the intentions were good. If you do something good out of bad intentions, then the result might be objectively good, but I won’t count it as something good from you.

We’re bordering on reinventing Kantianism vs Utilitarianism arguments here because there is no objective definition of “good”. Each of us subjectively decides what is “good”. To illustrate with your position that the intent to do good is the deciding factor, then that would follow that Hitler would be good because his intent was to do “good” as he saw it. Obviously neither one of use would consider Hitler or his actions good.

Here’s your statement with the extra dimension of intent we’re discussing added:

If you do something good (and good by my standard) out of bad intentions (good by your own standards), then the result might be objectively bad, but I won’t count it as something good from you (because even though your intent was good by your standards your result was bad from my standards).

Doesn’t this seems to negate the “intent” element argument returning judgment purely base end result judgment?

Not really out of moral reasons though

Now we’re going down a rabbit hole.

What is the true definition of “good” or “bad”? Further, is either best measured by word or by deed? If person A simply says “we should stand up and prevent rape”, and person B intentionally kills 100 serial rapists, who did the most good?

Ambassador Bridge owners tried to stymie new crossing: Trump’s first threat to block the Gordie Howe bridge came shortly after U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly met with Matthew Moroun, the owner of the neigbouring Ambassador Bridge. The family, a major Republican political donor, has spent years fighting the construction of the competing new bridge.

There’s the trump grift we all knew was there. Every day Gordie Howe stays closed is more money for the trump crony. Ever since I learned about Matthew Moroun’s ownership and behavior with trump, I exclusively take the Detroit-Windsor tunnel to make sure none of my money goes to the trump henchman. Detroit-Windsor tunnel is also owned by cities and not a private owner. Its also cheaper than the Ambassador Bridge, so its really win all around to take the tunnel.

I don’t think Senator Vreenak would agree with you.

Well, he did …

The dual boot is the default install. The installer is a single terminal command in OSX with the installer being the guided setup. The installer is right on the front page of the distro web site: https://asahilinux.org/

It is literally just:

curl https://alx.sh/ | sh

The biggest decisions you have to make are how you want to partition the SSD between OSX and Linux.

I’ve been installing Linux in various ways since the late 90s using Slackware, and the Asahi installation experience was the easiest and seamless installation of Linux I’ve ever experienced. It on only occurred to me later why the installer could be so good. Asahi only runs on M1/M2 hardware. The developers knew exactly what the hardware would be and could tailor the experience around it.

I wouldn’t really recommend Asahi if you only have 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD in your Mac. It will certainly run, but is cramped in daily use.

A quick question before research: is it fully working by now?

Is every hardware function in the laptop that works in OSX available in Asahi? No.

I’d like to have a functioning display

I think you’re asking about “DisplayPort Alt Mode” which is where you can plug a dongle into one of the USB-C ports and output the local GPU to DP or HDMI. The answer to that is “yes, depending on how adventurous you are”. There’s an experimental kernel that does support it today. I don’t think its in the main branch yet. I intentionally run version 43 (1 behind the current 44). However, I use a USB-C DisplayLink HDMI adapter for an external display and it does most of what I want right now without the experimental kernel. I do want “DisplayPort Alt Mode”, and will use it when its available though.

If you have an M1 or M2 Macbook Pro with HDMI port built-in, those work right now. The challenge being worked through is a display port that gets unplugged, which only happens on the USB-C port Display Port.

I’ve got an impression that Linux can work on Apple Silicon, if you’re ready to abandon some things here and there.

I wouldn’t use the word “abandon” but rather “wait for”. Power management efficiency doesn’t come close to native Apple OSX, but under Asahi it has enough battery for my needs. I only charge to 80% (supported natively in Fedora KDE) and get about 3 hours of runtime on battery for light to moderate use. I also read that this has improved a chunk in version 44, but again, I’m not running that version yet.

Another piece of hardware not supported on Asahi yet is the MLX engine. I’ve been experimenting with running local LLMs, and they do run under Asahi Linux, but the hardware includes MLX in OSX. There are some models specifically made to utilize MLX which result in significant performance improvements in inferencing speeds. The unified memory of the Macbooks means system RAM is available for LLM use, so I can run 16GB models while still having 8GB of RAM left over for other applications and OS functions on this Macbook Air. The RAM footprint for LLM works in both Asahi and OSX.

Keep in mind, this is a dual boot system. I still have OSX available if I need one of those Apple OSX specific function or extended battery life only one reboot away.

My daily driver is an M2 Macbook air running Asahi Linux. There are certainly some hardware parts I wished worked better right now, but its fully for my needs usable as is. Improvements are occurring regularly by the development team. Apple hardware really is solid, and I’m very happy that in the rare cases I do have to use a commercial OS (Netflix streaming for example), I don’t have to use Windows. Its a dual boot machine (Linux/OSX).

Overall I’m pretty happy with Linux on this M2. Theres a handful of us here on Lemmy running it. You can find us at !asahilinux@lemmy.world

I also want it off.

“Chief among those changes is a new slider that lets users control transparency, ranging from fully opaque to completely clear.”

That sounds like the option to “turn it off” to me.

If you have PMP certs you’ve usually got 3 years of PM experience already. Are you saying even with all your certs and experience, you’re still looking for entry level just to land a PM job?

I’m 40 years old and looking for entry-level jobs. I got AWS and project management certs.

Entry level job pipelines got eviscerated with automation and AI. I have high end versions of the kind of work you’re going for, but the pathway for how to got here is gone. Even our mid-tier skill folks are having more difficulty, but usually finding work. High tier skill level is still doing well and expanding, but I’m under no illusion this will last forever. It will come for my job too eventually, and I’m prepared for it now.

The future of IT careers is going to look very strange.

Because normalcy is subjective to each of us. If an unmade bed is normal in my house, then the unmade bed is what contributes to a sense of normalcy for me.

If those are the advantages then the same advantages could be accomplished by daily filling a cup with water, pouring out the water, drying the glass and putting it back in the cupboard. I’d argue the cup with water is far less effort and yields the same results.

I’ll just leave this here:

Did you know that Mormons are actually preferentially given security clearances, since the United States Constitution is one of the foundational documents of their faith?

I didn’t know that about LDS folks. Being a founding document of their faith, they must really be in support of the Constitution and would oppose all who would desecrate the document and its principles of law and liberty.
