You’re obviously right, but made the mistake of actually thinking logically. What actually happened here is that the very stable genius just blamed another problem on immigration because otherwise his donors (was about to write friends but these people don’t actually have friends) would maybe be unable to buy a fourth yacht if god forbid they were held responsible for their greed-fueled actions that destroyed families.

It is probably true that fentanyl is smuggled into the States, but that is only part of the issue and not the root cause for the crisis and not related to immigration except for the fact that someone or something crosses a border. It’s hard to tell if it’s just his racism / xenophobia or if he actually doesn’t understand, as he also doesn’t seem to grasp that the concept of granting shelter from hardship isn’t the same as a mental institution, even though they’re both called “asylum”.

It’s good that you feel empathic with the vulnerable, and I truly mean that, but I fail to recognize the connection to the actual news

Haha I still remember finding that out

God how dumb

What are you on

What made the release exciting for you?

I just roll along on NixOS-unstable, so for me changes just trickle in over time.

On the last day actually, haha

For anyone interested, this was due to a curl regression AFAIK. 24.11 was supposed to release a week ago but a lot of stuff had to be rebuilt.

Foobar2000

Dang dude, I had just gotten over foobar2000.

Ahh! It was such a step up from Winamp. I think I started using that around 0.7… and actually used it with Wine when I started using Linux as my main OS in about 2008. But there is nothing quite like it.

Issue with LSD is that it’s somewhat overwhelming, so not really something for parties, at least I can’t really imagine myself partying on it.

2C-B on the other hand…

The only good distribution is my distribution.

Six times the price of coke in the US?

I mean it makes sense because of logistics, but still.

Never tried cocaine, but from what I heard it’s not really worth it, looking at price, effects on health, addiction potential etc while the high is just too short and not that great to begin with…

People will now come out and say that proper coke is better but you can’t convince me. I’d rather try MDMA or DMT before touching coke

Think I’m out of devices to reasonably install GNU/Linux on 🙁 (or 🙂 depending on how you look at it)

It’s something I don’t understand. Writing this on a 5 year old phone that cost me 130 euros back then. I do have the money to buy any reasonable phone on the market (not some vanity ones for rich people to show off, but like the top of the line iPhone or Pixel, whatever).

But why would I when the old one still works and does everything I need? Why would I order food when I can just make something myself? If I want to treat myself, I go to a restaurant that I actually like and spend like 30 euros tops. That’s once every one or two months. Why do people overspend on this?

If you have kids and actually struggle with basic goods, that is something completely different. But I get the point you’re trying to make - some people just feel entitled to a standard of living that they can’t afford, and corporations gladly exploit that. And honestly, they’d be stupid not to. A sucker is born every minute. It’s up to the legislative to stop this predatory behavior because the market won’t regulate itself in this regard.

And you’re right, it’s not up to school to teach this - I wanted to comment on this one as well - school is supposed to turn you into a person that can think for yourself and realize that a high interest rate is something to your disadvantage. Not to exactly tell you what to do in situation X should you ever encounter it. Because society and its problems change and then suddenly what you learned no longer applies.

In the end, I can’t tell people how to spend their money. But once might make the case that with BNPL, people spend money that’s not not actually theirs yet. And once these people need help, is going to be society to foot bills, not the corporations who made money off it.

Oh, I don’t think Moscow would get bombed anytime soon if the war doesn’t escalate into a full NATO - Russia confrontation. My comment was more about being drafted

they’re the ones really burying their head in the sand pretending they don’t know this is happening and couldn’t do anything to stop it.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Is this today’s avocado toast?

Or very Russian, as in Muscovite

All the best, @[email protected]!

From my understanding, what you’re suggesting requires emulation, so you’d probably need another operating system underneath; there are translation layers for other architectures, like Apple has with Rosetta and what WINE did for Arm, but it sounds very challenging to implement something like this for executables of the actual operating system which can operate at a very low level. So I guess this is in the theoretical realm. Maybe someone is mad enough to do this, but I wouldn’t expect it.

Wir Männer sind in der Beziehung halt aber auch leider dumm. Deine Frau scheint ja nicht unzufrieden zu sein, mich interessiert der Penis von anderen Männern nicht die Bohne. Warum soll die Größe dann relevant sein?

Wenn das Thema wirklich so wichtig wäre, fänden Frauen Oralsex ja auch langweilig, immerhin ist die Zunge sehr viel kleiner.

Der Vergleich mit anderen Menschen (eigentlich in vielen Belangen) kann einem halt viele Dinge kaputtmachen, obwohl es für einen selber komplett irrelevant wäre. Andere können im Fitnessstudio mehr stemmen und sehen entsprechend aus, können besser andere Sprachen lernen etc. Man kann sich davon entmutigen lassen – oder entscheidet, dass diese Menschen für den eigenen Spaß an der Sache gar keine Rolle spielen.

It depends. Microsoft has recently enabled compilation options for their binaries that will make them incompatible with older CPUs: https://www.guru3d.com/story/windows-11-24h2-new-cpu-instruction-requirements-impact-compatibility-on-older-hardware/

Granted, these are quite old nowadays, but they could enforce newer instructions as well, like AVX-512.

Hmmm. I don’t really like Windows myself and haven’t setup a machine without for me in one a decade. But neither my work “development” laptop (in quotation marks because I’m not a developer) nor a mini PC I installed for my dad ever had bluescreens. They can still happen, of course… but it almost seems to require effort with really bad drivers or broken hardware.

The obvious Windows issues nowadays are a different category from 20 years ago in my opinion.
