I think they removed the graphics of it, but not the effects when you have them in you party

Yeah, because we call it "climate change". What does that even mean? Sounds long compromise to me

We'd be better off calling it "climate destabilization"

I mean... This is just legalizing existing behaviors. Put it on the list

I'm sorry, I've been coming at this wrong

Need more sauce for jerking. For OSHA reasons

This has been the case since 9/11. I'm so sick of being looked at like I'm an idiot when I'm remove my shoes, then on the flight back they treat me like an idiot for asking if I have to take them off

I like the furries because they're really accepting

But come on...Understanding how progressive movements fail ~~and how it's usually because the CIA destabilized the regime~~ actually matters.

Especially now. Less circle jerking, more historical analysis with clear messaging

Anti semitic remarks are not the same as anti Israeli remarks

I feel nothing when that guy changed "death, death to the IDF". Well, maybe a mix of amusement and concern. But I have nothing, at all, to do with the IDF and do not support what they do

When you say, in this context, "I'll cool it with the anti semitic comments when war criminals are brought to justice", how do you think that feels?

Don't take this shit casually, anti semitism goes back to biblical times. I've experienced it growing up. And now, they're asking new York Jews what they think of "their" prime minister? They're "othering" us already

They just built a concentration camp. In America. The Holocaust wasn't the first time they targeted the Jews as the enemy within. I've always reminded my family who start flirting with conservatism... We're always second. When they run out of people that look different, we're next

I know what you meant. But that's not what you said, and words matter

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, I really don't care about this. It's in bad taste, boo hoo

Can we please focus on the fucking concentration camp???

I have a neat trick. I say "if I were a me, where would I have put this?"

I don't remember where things belong, but I know immediately that I would put vitamins in the cabinet, on the counter, on the table, or in a travel bag. There's basically nowhere else I'd put them unless something very unusual happened, so then I'd look to see if they fell from one of these places

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but what do you do with that? Just give up?

You're not going to convince everyone, but every once in a while someone will dig into it. It keeps the knowledge alive

He worked really hard to thread the needle between capitol and some actually progressive policies

Which, in the effort to avoid making enemies, just basically pissed off everyone, because it took a nibble of the profits for the tiniest wins possible

But I'm sure it was a lot of work

 

For the last week or so, I've been waking up several hours earlier than normal and not being able to get back to restful sleep. I've never had this problem before, I'm just getting more exhausted by the day because I'm not getting to sleep much earlier

Then I find out other people are experiencing the same thing, same timeframe - around a week ago it just started for seemingly no reason

 

Between wanting to do more with local LLMs, wsl annoyances, and the direction tech companies have been going lately, I think it's time I start exploring a full Linux migration

I'm a software dev, I'm comfortable in the command line, and I used to write the node configuration piece of something similar to chef (flavor/version agnostic setup of cloud environments)

So for me, Linux has always been a "modify the script and rebuild fresh" kind of deal... Even my dev VMs involved a lot of scripts and snapshots. I don't enjoy configuration and I really hate debugging it, but I can muddle through when I have to

Web searches have pushed me towards Ubuntu for LLM work, but I've never been a big fan of the window Managers. I like little flourishes like animation and lots of options I can set graphically, I use multiple desktop multiple monitors

I've tried the one it comes standard with, gnome, and kde (although it's been about 5 years since I've last given them a real shot).

I'm mostly looking for the most reasonable footprint that is "good enough", something that feels polished to at least the Windows XP level - subtle animations instead of instant popups, rounded borders, maybe a bit of transparency here and there.

I'm looking at Ubuntu w/

  • kde w/ plasma (I understand it's very configurable, I don't love the look and it seems to be a bigger footprint

  • budgie (looks nice, never heard of it before today)

  • kylin (looks very Windows 10 which is nice, a bit skeptical about the Chinese focus)

  • mate (I like the look, but it seems a bit dubiously centralized)

  • unity (looks like the standard Ubuntu taken to it's natural conclusion)

  • rhino Linux (something new which makes me skeptical, but pretty and seems more like existing tools packaged together which makes me think the issues might not impact actual workflow)

  • anything the community is big on for this, personally I'd pick opensuze, but I need to maximize compatibility with bleeding edge LLM projects

My hardware and hard requirements are:

  • nvidia 1060ti
  • ryzen 5500u
  • 16g ram
  • 4 drives nearly full, because it's a computer of Theseus running the same (upgraded) vista license that came with the case like 15 years ago
  • multi desktop, multi monitor
  • can handle a lot of browser Windows/tabs
  • ideally the setup is just a package mana ger install script with all my dependencies
  • gaming support would be nice, but I'll be dual booting for VR anyways

I've been out of the game for a while, I'd love to hear what the feeling is in the community these days

(Side note, is pine as cool a company as it seems?)
