I was planning on capping charge to 80%, which should address a lot of these issues without artificial slowing added later.
- Comment on human geography 4 days ago:
It makes more sense when you have the background that most people don’t have a term for that.
Because of course that’s what you’re looking for at first. But yeah, I get that the “no term” data is actual positive data that they surveyed, and they want to make that distinct from “no survey data” but…

Two of the largest drivers are religion, christians wanting their Sharia Law, and Russia taking political control of the US.
Capitalism is in the top three, sure. It’s also part of the driver of that technology.
I don’t think we should worship capitalism as we have, but I don’t think getting rid of capitalism as a whole solves more problems than it creates.
Give me capitalism with heavy socialist controls and political separation please, thanks. The general idea of using money as a measure of what society owes you isn’t terrible. It’s allowing that measure to get so out of whack and have such inordinate control of everything that is the problem.

Parasites. Are those the ones that bring in a bunch of resources and give them to the host?

The complaint that got blamed on capitalism was:
The information age gave way for the misinformation age, where everything is fake.
and if there’s one entity/person most responsible for that, it’s Putin or the GOP. Most of it is political, and very little to do with capitalism itself. Except that capitalism surrounds and is intertwined with everything.
Still, if you get rid of capitalism, it doesn’t get rid of politics. I’d argue that the root of the issue is the GOP trying to hoard power (money and otherwise), and power is going to exist with or without capitalism. Is North Korea capitalist? Do they have issues with disinfo?
This Christian Sharia Law movement doesn’t exist for money.

Are you? I didn’t see it. If you’re trying to make the opposite point, why don’t you cherry pick the other way. Let’s see what you’ve got or if this headline is just bullshit.
I’m currently running 50/50 windows/Ubuntu. I’m no Windows fanboy. But I’m also a software dev and I understand deprecating useless shit, something Windows doesn’t do much of.

I’m not using any software that doesn’t have an upward swipe gesture for jumplists. How can people stand losing features like this?

the 16-bit Windows on Windows subsystems, which allowed 32-bit versions of Windows to directly run 16-bit DOS and Windows programs
Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?

I feel like half of the blame capitalism gets is valid, but the other half is just society. I don’t care what kind of system you’re under, you’re going to have to deal with other people.
Oh, and if you try the system where you don’t have to deal with people, that just means other people end up handling you.

If you’re into self hosting (or have a friend who is), I’ve found Navidrome (music hosting) and Substeamer app to be great open source alternatives.

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 weeks ago:
You’re running closed source software that has permissions to read your keyboard input to other applications (other than apps running as admin), they can access your files, and and they can communicate over the Internet.
You’re inherently trusting these publishers if you’re gaming on Windows. Who is the publisher of Darkest Dungeon or Deep Rock Galactic or Lethal Company?

If you really want to be secure, you can’t do gaming on the same machine as your security sensitive stuff. It’s not limited to these anti-cheats.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 weeks ago:
Tell me how any other app uploading your entire documents directory is okay then. “Into the kernel” is largely fear mongering. Other, less trustworthy apps can do plenty of damage, and you don’t seem to care about those.

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 weeks ago:
These games won’t run on Linux.
They do this to prevent cheaters, and it is effective. Some people who have no problems running any other executable that can do just as much damage believe this load on boot style is too invasive.
I wouldn’t mind this feature dying so I could play on Linux though.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
It’s expressed incredibly poorly. The title is true, one absolutely should be aware of what information is public.
You’re a fool to trust Reddit with it more than particular instance admins.

Lemmy does make some attempts to hide your IP address, but everyone should know that any time you visit a website, that website gets your IP.
So of course your instance has your IP (whoever’s running it). And if you ever explicitly visit another domain, they’ll get your IP as well.

I wrote him and asked him to run against Trump in 2024. The man has his flaws, but I don’t think there’s anyone better to win that particular race.

He literally did a song and dance saying “fuck you”.

You support the Trump administration?
Because when this shit comes up and you do your best to shift the focus, that’s one of two conclusions I can come to.

What if there was a bot that could just tell you exactly what you want to hear at all times?
Personally, I’d rather read a novel. But some people aren’t familiar with books and have to be drawn in with the promise of two lines at a time, max.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid? 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, ambushing anyone on the street, out of context, is extremely likely to get a dumber answer than normal.
This would make a good study, actually. Ambush people on the street and quiz them. For the control group, quiz them immediately, on the street. For the experimental group, take them to a more relaxed location, allow them to sit, give them a minute or two to get collected, quiz them and measure the difference from the control group. You can do it with easy, medium, hard questions.
