- Comment on SBS resists calls to join EU boycott of Eurovision 2026 if Israel allowed to compete | SBS | The Guardian 18 hours ago:
SBS is an Associate Member, which isn’t a technicality. ABC is also one, as are networks in Canada, New Zealand, China, India etc.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 2 days ago:
Terrarium was pawbably the only genuinely great episode this season, and it still didn’t really do anything new as there have been several Enemy Mine episodes in past series (The Enemy - TNG, Dawn - ENT). This season also had pawbably the worst SNW episode to date in Four-and-a-Half Vulcans, which was just all kinds of problematic.

[…]the aggressive push of current Political issues.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_and_Uhura's_kiss
In the episode of Star Trek: The Original Series titled “Plato’s Stepchildren”, season 3 episode 10, first broadcast November 22, 1968, Uhura (played by Afro-American actress Nichelle Nichols) and Captain Kirk (played by white actor William Shatner) kiss. The episode is often cited—incorrectly—as the first interracial kiss on television. It was, however, the first instance in which a kiss between a black person and a white person on U.S. television was scripted, as an earlier kiss on Movin’ with Nancy was unscripted. The episode aired one year after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down nationwide laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
Star Trek has always been political.

That includes your paranoia regarding account age on a brand new piefed instance where all accounts are new.
Bestie, surely you realise that new accounts are the most likely to be trolls? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out, hence why the app I use (Voyager) shows you the account age <30 days in the first place.

- JFC, not every person that’s anti-immigration is a Nazi.
- Maybe don’t post anti-immigration, anti-asylum stuff on your <1 day old account, it’s suspicious.
- Your edit isn’t helping the anti-immigration stance I feel like you have.
- Are you even Swedish? You seem to have some deeply held beliefs about another country’s society if you’re not…

So you’re from Northern Ireland? Are you talking about Ireland the landmass or the Republic of Ireland? Regardless, that’s just not factually correct. Ireland, Great Britain and all the surrounding smaller islands make up the British Isles. Here’s a video explainer: cgpgrey.com/…/the-difference-between-the-united-k…

Meh, Australia is the same on both these counts, though alcohol is still very heavily used. Those things are objectively less of a pawblem than welfare programs not being liveable.

I think the Nordic countries get held up as these utopias when that’s actually far from the truth. I have a Swedish friend on a disability pension, and I’m also on the same sort of pension here in Australia. She gets a bit less than half of what I do a month. It’s not like she has other social programs that make up for it really either. We both have access to similar healthcare, I think I’m paying less for meds, I have much better disability insurance covering other things like support work and mobility aids.
I think some people just have this false impression of places like Sweden. I guess they look pretty great if you’re from the US but yeah…
- Comment on The Lenovo Legion Go 2 launches in October - it's heavier and very pricey 1 week ago:
I don’t get the complaint about price. These are supposed to be on the absolute high-end of the market and are much more powerful than a Steam Deck. At the same time, these MSRPs are set as high as they are because retailers want the ability to profit high on day one, and then offer deep cuts later on. That’s just how that system works. Valve only offer direct sales and AFAIK don’t offer discounts except where they’ve permanently cut a price.

Seems like the user is setting up a local VPN. Kinda weird that term now seems to mean a corporate VPN run with someone else’s servers.

It’s sad that you’re dunking on your partner like this. Sounds like she has ADHD or similar tendencies and needs something in the background to help her concentrate on tasks. Shows that don’t need your full attention work best for this. I know because I’m the same.

This is just my opinion but nope, not at all. There’s plenty of proprietary self-host software. Plex is self-host software and it gets talked about here despite being proprietary.

- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 2 weeks ago:
People are always going to misinterpret something as shortform as a hashtag. I think there’s a larger conversation to be had about their use in spaces like politics, but I’d hardly say that makes one instance of their use irresponsible to the level you’re implying. Especially when you consider the fact that “women often make false accusations” is absolutely a red-herring used to try and delegitimise accusers again, and again, and again. The most prominent example from recent memory that comes to my mind, within politics, being the way Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations against Brett Kavanaugh were treated.
Have a nice night though 💜😊

- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 2 weeks ago:
I mean, to call it gerrymandering is valid, but people always tend to use it as a dirty word. Any time people are making the choices about electoral boundaries there’s gerrymandering at play. We just choose in Australia to generally try to make seats as competitive as possible. On the balance of things, Greens-dominant areas in Fitzroy North and Carlton North were also redistributed away from Melbourne to Wills, which meant that Peter Khalil (Labor) had a huge 7.60% swing against him. Samantha Ratnam (Greens) came within 3k votes of winning the seat. This is all coming from a Greens member by the way.
- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 2 weeks ago:
Are you meaning this in a negative way? The seat was reapportioned and as is the Electoral Commission’s guidance on the matter, it was pushed towards as even of a split as possible.
- Comment on 1U mini PC for AI? 2 weeks ago:
You can boost the 395 up to 120W, which might be where Framework is pushing it too, but those benchmarks are labelled 55W and that’s what AMD says is the default clock without adjustment. I’d love to see how the benchmarks compare at that higher boost but I’d imagine it’s diminishing returns similar to most GPUs. I think the benefit to using it in a lounge gaming PC would be the super low power draw, but you would need to figure out a display MUX switch and I don’t think that’s simple with desktop cards. Maybe something with a 5090 mobile would be the go at that point, but I have no idea how that compares to the 395 and whether it’s worth it.
- Comment on 1U mini PC for AI? 2 weeks ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but is the 395 not leagues ahead of something like a 4090 when it comes to performance per watt? Here’s a comparison graph of a 4090 against the Radeon 8060S, which is the 395’s iGPU:
Now that’s apparently running at the 395’s default TDP of 55W so that includes the CPU power. It’s also clear that a 4090 can trounce it on sheer performance when needed. But if we take a look at this next graph:
This shows that a 4090 has a third of the performance while still running at 130W, more than twice the TDP of the entire 395 APU.
- Comment on 1U mini PC for AI? 2 weeks ago:
That’s all valid for your usecase, but you were saying that you didn’t think many people would use it that way at all and that’s what I was saying I didn’t agree with. As well, a HTPC is kind of a different use case altogether to a lounge room gaming computer. There’s some overlap for sure, but if you want zero compromise gaming then you’re going to want all that CPU.
- Comment on 1U mini PC for AI? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know that that is necessarily true. Having a gaming machine that can play any game and dynamically switches between a high-power draw dGPU and a genuinely capable low-power draw iGPU actually sounds amazing. That’s always been possible with every laptop that has a dGPU but their associated iGPU has often been bottom of the barrel bc “why would you use it” for intensive tasks. But a “desktop” build as a lounge room gaming PC, where you can throw whatever at it and it’ll run as quietly as it can, while being able to play AAAs at 4K60, sounds amazing.
