Wow, thanks for that, you absolute fuckwit.
I’d be even more dead if he shot me with a bazooka or dropped a nuclear bomb on me. I guess I should be thanking him for disfiguring my face!
It’s irrelevant. It’s a pedestrian-only area. Cars shouldn’t be there, bikes shouldn’t be there.
“It could theoretically be even worse so let’s do nothing about it!” is the dumbest thing ever. Give your head a wobble.
In your comment where you equated them, then every single comment after.
He did say that.
Do you believe he suddenly changed his mind on an opinion he held and shouted to the world, 2 days after it became apparent he might lose his job over it?
If someone committed fraud, then went to court and said “your honour, I actually agree with you. Fraud is wrong. I came to that conclusion this morning.” would you believe them?
Quote what exactly I said that was either of those things.
It’s what all of your comments have been about. Don’t play dumb.
Support. Warranties. Replacement parts.
Disposable vapes will be banned in the UK starting in June 2025.
Based.
Moving to Europe where… there’s an even greater level of sanctions against Russia, and the population is more anti-Russia?
I mean sure, I’d like that, but it wouldn’t have the effect you want it to lmao
And no, maintainers for sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their positions (where they can push kernel changes with zero approval).
Now they have to wait for their changes to be approved like everybody else. Oh no the horror.
Doesn’t effect all Russians. Just 11 Russian maintainers that work for sanctioned Russian companies. Who can still contribute, they just can no longer make changes to the kernel with no approval/oversight.
I know people meme about “Zen 5%” (sidenote: genuinely a clever quip), but most of that is down to AMD massively reducing the power draw of the chips.
If you set it to the same power limits as Zen4, you can get large performance improvements.
Gamers have been saying for years that stuff is getting too power-hungry, but when steps were made to reverse this, they collectively lost their minds.
Seriously, what are they expecting, a 25% improvement in performance at half the power draw, while staying on a 5nm-family node?
AMD were dumb for thinking gamers give even the slightest fuck about power usage. Gamers would much more readily accept a CPU going from 120W to 500W if it meant an imaginary +20% perf uplift over a CPU going from 120W to 70W with a +5% perf uplift. I say imaginary because nobody with a high end CPU and a 4090 actually plays their games at 1080p low.
While not theoretically impossible it’s impractical and unheard of for multiple trusted independent audit companies to be commissioned on an extremely regular basis.
Trustable proprietary software is like nuclear fusion as an energy source. Theoretically possible, but we sure as shit don’t have it.
Indeed.
However, proprietary code cannot be trusted to be trustworthy. FOSS can it’s just not guaranteed.
Surely you’ve realised your instance has a huge pro-russian, pro-china tankie presence?
Lemmy.ml admins me for being against Russia invading Ukraine and committing genocide lmao
If you aren’t a tankie, migrating your account could be something to consider.
Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.
Reminds me of decades ago when intel didn’t bother getting into graphics because they said pretty soon CPUs would be powerful enough for high-performance graphics rendering lmao
The short-sightedness of Intel absolutely staggers me.
I’m going to use this as my Fedora wallpaper and there’s not a damn thing OpenSUSE can do about it
Indeed. Active users (say, used within the past month) is a much better metric.
I often wonder about this for many (especially older) YouTube channels - your channel is 15 years old, how many of your 500k subscribers actually still watch or even have active accounts?
I wonder what subscriber growth rate a typical YouTube channel needs just in order to maintain a consistent level of watchers?
True. Although half the new characters were scrapped, or had their storylines ignored.
Picard’s two Romulan… maids? Estate managers? went nowhere and disappeared
Space Legolas went nowhere and disappeared
Soji went nowhere and disappeared
Raffi is there still, but her entire story arc got scrapped I believe? They were going for a “I’m a recovering addict and I want to reconnect with my son and his pregnant spouse”, and then it just completely disappeared as a plot line.
Seven is there, but I think you can go into S3 and just think “oh, Picard and Seven know eachother. I guess that makes sense actually.”
It certainly helps to have seen the previous seasons, you’re right. I’m pretty sure they reference that Picard is technically an android once, which would be a wtf moment if you’ve not seen season 1.
Eh, soap operas had been doing serialised TV for decades before the 80s and 90s. And if you look to outside of the US, in the UK serialised TV was extremely normal, and had been for decades - ever since TV started, really. And even before that it was common in radio plays.
Picard was fumbled hard overall.
They had some concepts that could’ve been deeply interesting, such as [SPOILERS] a dead Borg Cube in Romulan space, being studied by the Romulans, and looking for Bruce Maddox, the scientist who wanted to study Data in Measure of a Man (S1), Q dying and wanting to engage with Picard before he goes (S2), but they did a really bad job.
Season 3 is a lot better. A lot of the sound and cinematography is great, it feels more like a Star Trek film than a TV show in terms of how it’s presented. That in itself isn’t a good thing or a bad thing, but I personally liked it.
It’s a bit fan-servicey - there were times when I liked that, but also times I rolled my eyes. I’d say Season 3 is worth watching, and you’ll either like it or you won’t. Thankfully, the show pretty much resets itself for season 3, and you don’t really need any info from Seasons 1/2 going into it.
Contibutors in general were not “purged”.
Maintainers (i.e. people who could push patches with very little oversight) from sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their roles.
They can still contribute.
Leave it to a lemmy.ml user to spread misinformation to make Russia look like the victim in this.
Report away. Anybody reading this will agree it’s utterly insane to talk about drinking a glass of wine and fucking a toddler as of they are the same thing.
It’s very normal to give businesses a short period to make arrangements/sell off stock.
They were never going to pass a law that banned them right from that second.
This is a good move. The damage that will continue to happen for the next 6 months or whatever is miniscule compared to the damage of just allowing it to continue indefinitely. Hopefully other countries follow suit.
