Seems like a terrible place to make bread…I mean is there even an oven?

I first I thought others a grow operation because of all the purple lighting.

I would also recommend reading The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff which was recently featured on Philosophy Tube

Edit: its important to realize that any government or entity might purchase the data this apparatus can collect.

But, man, you’re never going to get any truth from us. We’ll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We’ll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker’s house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don’t worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he’s going to win. We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds… We’re all you know. You’re beginning to believe the illusions we’re spinning here. You’re beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God’s name, you people are the real thing! WE are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I’m speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF… [collapses in a prophetic swoon as the audience erupts in thunderous applause]

I think those codes depend on the state and it may depend if it is empty or if a child lives with you but even if there were a fence, they are normally pretty flimsy and meant to keep young children from getting in unsupervised. A ride on lawnmower is going to tear though one super easily.

What do you mean by a driver manager? I’m not familiar with that term, it sounds like a gui for managing and updating drivers. Or maybe you want something to help you switch between integrated graphics on your cpu to your dedicated gpu?

In most cases, updating drivers doesn’t require a GUI and can actually create more work. For instance, compare this Manjaro video of how to use its gui to install Nvidia drivers vs this line of code to install/update the Nvidia drivers on endeavorOS.

eos-update --nvidia

Ofcourse if you use an arch based distro you can also use the arch wiki to help you manage your drivers exactly the way you want. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

If you want to control which apps use your GPU or integrated graphics, than you can just install prime and prepend a package name with the string prime-run when opening or in steam launch settings.

I used to like Manjaro but they way they handled the recent pacman changes were so terrible that I no longer recommend it. It still has a great GUI and I think other arch based distros could learn from.

Totally. I have one of the newer pixels and it’s on the smaller side relatively, but it’s the biggest phone I can use comfortably.

I wear a size medium glove and it’s insane to me that it’s hard to find a phone I can use comfortably in one hand.

At the same time, I’ve started to realize that I should do less with my phone anyway. So I really don’t need it to do to much besides get a good reception and have a day or so of battery life. The most demanding thing I’ve asked my phone to do recently was to emulate some Nintendo games and run llama3.2:1B. But both things are better done either on a device meant to perform that workload or via a self hosted server where my phone is just a client.

I’m with you on those specs. Maybe the best features of new phones is the water resistance. Idk of its possible to have both water resistance and removable batteries and SD cards, but I miss being able to swap out to a fully charged battery or upgrade the storage at a whim. If I hadn’t choose tho, id stick with the water resistance.

So to add to your specs I’d like:

• water resistance
• 256 SD card minimum
• battery last 24hr minimum
• ability to switch from WiFi to cell mid call
• don’t need more than a 1080p oled display on a phone
• comes without any bloatware preinstalled
• runs linux with ability to sudo

What if the torturer put you in a dark room with a bunch of steel IKEA furniture and bedfames, (no mattresses) and a heated floor with 2 zones (only 1 is on at a time) so that you would have to either brave the gauntlet of IKEA to keep your feet warm or tell them what they want to hear?

I think Oranges were named before Carrots. What are these? They’re orange…oranges What about these? Oh shit…long pointys?

I doubt he cares what people call his platform. All musk cares about is that people still use it. That what sells ads

However I think the more we keep referring to what it was, the longer people will continue to use it. X deserve the same treatment as truth social.

I guess my opinion is pretty unpopular for a lot of different reasons but I think the longer we call it Twitter the slower it dies.

Twitter is to X as Anikin Skywalker is to Darth Vader.

I’m glad musk made one of the dumbest businesses decisions in modern history to change the name. It’s easy to see the line where Twitter once was a place of free speech and now X is a place of right wing propaganda.

The name shouldn’t be protested. The company should be boycotted.

I agree that X is dumb but instead of not calling it that I just refuse to use it. To say that X is still twitter negates all the issues that Elon caused when he bought it.

Twitter is dead.

No I mean X. It’s not like calling it Twitter or X formally Twitter is an effective protest.

We need to stop using X because it is owned by a fascist asshole who is bank rolling other fascist assholes.

X killed Twitter, it’s dead. I never used it, and have no fond memories of it so for me it quite easy to accept.

It’s ike saying Darth Vader formally known as Anakin Skywalker. Like yeah that’s factually true but misses kinda everything about the depth if the change.

X is not a place for free speech or freedom of any kind. It is an extreme right propaganda machine with ads. And if you have a hard time remembering that, it might be that you are calling it by the wrong name.

We also need to start calling it the name it actually is, X

I’m going out on a limp and just assuming that he accidentally quoted Quark or the rules of acquisition. And because he said something so random, baseless, and/or sexist there was an assumption that he was quoting trek on purpose.

Bateman and all the other VPs did a lot of things but it didn’t seem like they ever did anything that could be considered work.
