Power captures power. Money is a form of power, but there are many forms and the powerful tend to try to grab more power no matter the situation.

Perforated galvanized plumbers strapping. While most of my equipment is wall mountable, I used exactly this sort of thing for all the power supplies.

Likely similar to whatever you’re planning to use with the plastic strap, but more metal is more betterer

I’ll spoil it for everyone instead then!

ROSEBUD IS THE SLED.

Behold. Everything’s at the bottom of the sea. Gone is the magical kingdom of Zeal, and all the dreams and ambitions of its people. I once lived there…But I was another person then.

And everything else in the damn game.

Warning: don’t invent weapons of mass destruction if you’re a crybaby.

The computer subsystem and the display subsystem are different, largely independent things. Regardless of what your computer is doing, the system that transports data between the video chip and the LCD will always be sending that data at 60 frames per second. It doesn’t care what your CPU is doing, it’s a bunch of separate independent pieces of hardware. Meanwhile, the rest of your computer is doing the game logic and rendering the frames and sending them to the video memory and that could be happening at any frame rate. Your screen will always be running at 60 hertz, but you could have anything from one frame per second to 3000 frames per second and that just refers to the number of times per second you are updating the frame buffer with new data.

Some video games have a setting called vsync, and what that does is it will limit updating the frame buffer to do so only once while the screen is showing one frame. The benefit of doing this is if you are updating your frame buffer in the middle of drawing a frame, you can have it where half the frame is the previous frame and half of the frame is the next frame, this is called tearing because it looks like the screen is being torn in half.

I’m not opposed to intellectual property because there’s an argument for providing a limited time monopoly to the creators of works to provide incentive to make works public. Without any such incentive, it’s entirely possible that the monetization structures for different works change, for example locking content behind restrictive systems that don’t allow for personal use at all.

The key is “limited time”. If you can’t make your money back in 15 years, then maybe it’s time to make a new thing? The idea that someone should own a thing you made after you’re dead is stupid – how exactly will that promote you to create new works? If you’re dead, your creating days are over except for creating plant food out of your bones and organs.

I put my money where my mouth is, and the legal page of the graysonian ethic specifically lists that the book is put into the public domain or license after Creative Commons CC0 license after 15 years from the date of first publishing.

There’s a button in settings to not show bot accounts. I clicked it when I realized how many posts were just reddit mirror bots

Yes, even among the different options there’s a lot of diversity. Lemmy, lotide, friendica, kbin, they can all do things similar to reddit.

Not all, but quite a few in that 20% range.

As we saw in Afghanistan, drones are great but you need boots on the ground to hold territory.

I’m concerned about the first application of crispr to make super soldiers.

A few genes flipped and the army coming out the other side would be terrifying.

On a lark I went to check out if animesuki was still up. I used to use that all the time back in the day.

Nope, dead since 2019.

RIP

Planting a tree isn’t going to war (and unionizing is in a sense mobilizing for a war). Both you and the seed want the tree to grow. If you go to war and the time is not right, then you will be wiped out and history will be written by the victors.

You can blame him for the stupidity of how he engaged in them, but a lot of people seem to think that if nothing else had happened there never would have been layoffs.

Big Tech got fat during the pandemic, it couldn’t have kept on growing as people started leaving the house again.

I’m saying blame him for the things he actually did. Just like I said I said.

It’s turning into a recurring gag for me to see another news article about some website (like reddit, for example) crashing and burning and my response is “Why would Elon Musk do this?”

I know it’s easy to just rag on twitter, but I think that everyone needs to remember that a lot of the problems Twitter is facing are also problems that the entire industry is facing.

Ad rates are down across the board. You hear YouTubers talking about it, you here people who run websites talking about it, and that’s just the way things are.

Everyone got really pissed off at Elon for the mass layoffs, but everyone seems to forget that every other company also did layoffs just a few months later.

In short, blame them for the stuff that he actually did, not systemic trends that affect everyone.

Jesus Christ!

I’d be spitting fire!

Man, that sucks. One of the other things for me is that you can buy decent headphones for like seven bucks with a 3.5mm jack. Most USB headsets are going to be a lot more expensive.

Does your phone support qi charging? That could be a solution if it does.

I think that there’s a reason for it, and I think that that reason is that they’ve been selling battery vehicles for 25 years and they know full well that there’s going to be major problems.

The reality is that until maybe this year or the year before, these were expensive toys for the 1% to show off about how virtuous they are with their $100,000 sports cars that were saving the planet.
