Hmm almost as if free will isn’t some magical ability to remove yourself from any disadvantageous situation, but a fundamental liberty to choose how you act in response to said situation and see in it a metaphysical meaning that transcends cultural ideas like success? Damn, wouldn’t that be crazy. If only that was true, could you imagine?

The “best” would be some kind of DC to DC converter

No sense in going dc->ac->dc if it can be helped.

Most laptop chargers can actually run on DC, and with as little as 48 volts. Here is a german guy demonstrating it. So if your battery bank runs on 48 volts, I think you might be able to just connect it directly to the input of a laptop charger and it will work.

bandcamp too.

Oh, damn, that was the joke!? Went right over my head lol

Strange. I use windows 11 occasionally, and it’s never even as much as mentioned onedrive to me. Could it be that it’s a cracked install? Or that I never connected the local account to a microsoft account? Or that I’m in the EU?

Edit: Downvote? Really? Are you really that jealous that my windows experience is slightly less painful than yours!?

You’re misrepresenting my argument. We both agree that dogs are not people and people are not dogs, and that having a specific opinion about dog breeds is different from having a specific opinion about race.

What I’m saying is that, even if you set aside questions of data reliability, there are dozens if not hundreds of ways to interpret the graph that everyone in this thread keeps posting. What if all dog breeds are equally aggressive, but only some are physically capable of killing a human? What if dog breeds that look more aggressive attract irresponsible owners that train them to be more aggressive and intentionally put them into dangerous situations around other humans? Of all the possible conclusions, that guy jumps to some breeds are just inherently more dangerous than others. This is the same logical leap that a racist follows when confronted with statistics about crime rate vs race.

And it’s not just that. Notice their language. Their comment is phrased like a question rather than a statement, a pattern that not-so-pleasant people are notorious for (look up “JAQing off”). The EDIT uses classic catchphrases like “Use your brain, not your feeeelings!”. This fits the verbiage of a modern internet racist to a tee.

Look, what I said about the alt twitter account was an exaggeration. Maybe the guy is genuinely not racist. But even if they are, why should I bother differentiating between a racist and someone whose arguments, language, and misuse of logic is functionally indistinguishable from those of a racist? The moment racism starts to enter the mainstream (due to a right-wing government or similar), I expect people like that to put up no resistance.

Are the tankies in the room with use right now?

So. Many. Downvotes. But not a single comment refuting the statistics with facts and evidence…

Yes, because it’s clear as day that you’re a closeted racist. The argument that you’re trying to push, the dishonest appeal to statistics, even the language that you use – you’re trying to normalise the idea that some “breeds” are more dangerous than others, but you’re too scared to say that even though you’re talking about dogs, what you actually have in mind are humans. Go on, don’t be shy, show us your twitter alt where instead of fatal attack statistic you post crime rate graphs and pretend that it’s evidence that black people don’t serve rights.

Protip: when arguing online, a very good strategy for wasting other peoples’ time and generally being an insufferable prick is to always pick a slightly unconventional definition of the topic that you’re arguing about. It works even better if you shift your definition subtly throughout the course of the argument. That way, each individual statement you make is technically not false, while your overall “argument” is an inconsistent ill-defined undisprovable mess that’s impossible to argue against.

Ah, a doas user, I see!

I remember a while back, years before this surfaced, there was a thread on /g/ with a group photo of Balena’s employees and a caption like “why does it take so many people to develop an electron wrapper around dd”. Obviously it was low effort engagement bait (balena does much more than etcher), but the comments were full of people calling the company a glowie honeypot and the like. Moral of the story: Trust the schizos, they sense spyware form lightyears away.

have done historically didnt exist\was okay.

More like “didn’t exist, but was okay even if it did” lol.

Thanks! That explains it! Here’s the image you linked for people who don’t want to visit MSN

I really dislike it when people slather AI upscalers onto images for no reason. Very rarely does it improve the perceived quality of the image, most of the time it just changes your reaction from “wow, this is a low-res photo” to “wow, someone tried upscaling this low-res photo”. Here it somehow made the image even worse

Yeah, what’s up with that? At first I thought it was a weird camera/filter, but the more I look the worse it gets. What are those… powerlines? in the background on the right? Why are they next to a building/tree hybrid? What is the flamingo looking thing behind him? What logo is on his cap? Am I paranoid!?

When they went to school, my mother learned how to use a sewing machine, my father learned basic carpentry, and they both learned how to shoot and maintain an AK-47. Although the UUSR may not have been the perfect paradise that many people make it out to be, it does feel like modern school systems could learn a thing or two from the communists.

I love how “solarpunk” is such a broad aesthetic that it encompasses both zero-waste high-tech hydrogen powered biocities as well as scrappy revolutionary village communities where people cook food on solar ovens made from shattered car mirrors and fashion antennas out of coat hangers. It can be both hi-tech or lo-tech, as long as the tech exists in harmony with humankind and with nature

Damn, sounds impressive! The experience that inspired this meme for me was swapping the buttons in my mouse for newer ones from a dead donor mouse, which admittedly took much less than 2 hours haha

I don’t mean “redditor” as in a literal reddit user, but as a general insult. The type of person that has nothing better to do than to convince elementary schoolers that apple cores are poisonous… which they are, but not enough to be dangerous. And being pedantic about that sort of technicality is what makes someone a “redditor” to me.

Protip: while the “in one bite” part might be challenging, nobody is stopping your from eating your apples completely, including the core. It’s as tasty as the rest of the apple, and the stuff about apple seeds being dangerously poisonous is just some bullshit made up by redditors. Be free! Eat the core!
