yeah this is a great example of him not being authorization enough to follow in ccp footsteps. For this to be a proper comparison it would have to be ice murdering 1000s of unarmed protestors not 1.

Why not? For most countries there is 0 point in switching to renewables since the largest polluter in the world is still scaling coal power and currently polluting more than the 2,3,4,5,6 biggest polluters combined. India will go through similar power needs and the world can barely handle a few more years of chinese pollution let alone adding india to the mix. The US is also scaling power using fossil fuels so it looks like any efforts done by the rest of the world will be completely pointless.

Not it hasnt. A small drop in exports to china isnt enough to send the austrialian economy into a tailspin. Chinese coal imports globally dropped only 9% last year (and domestic production increased to meet that deficit for all those thinking china isnt polluting the world). Keep in mind this 9% decrease comes after a record amount of coal imports in 2024.

Can other countries forgo their climate commitments and scale up coal productions to compete in manufacturing or only China? Is this a world we want to live in.

This has gotta be framed, its beautiful.

Trump is following in china’s footsteps. His longterm plan will fail because he is not authoritarian enough to retain power. If the CCP were in his shoes they’d have murdered millions of americans to ideologically cleanse the country.

I also play with no biters. I just dont see the point in having them enabled since i get past the rocket stag quickly and then end up working on a megabase for a few hundred hours and biters are just annoying.

Factorio: lazy bastard is not worth getting but there is no spoon is absolutely worth getting. People over estimate how much is required pre rocket and get bogged down in these over engineered designs. After finishing thre is no spoon you realise how little is actually required and its best to just go build something than try design the perfect system that lasts into the megabase era.

I saw it on youtube through the recommendation algo
- Comment on A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet 1 week ago:
It should be viewed on youtube. The reasoning being: we are trying to get as many people to watch this as possible. Watching the video on youtube boosts it and shows it to more people at the moment its reached 75k people. Watching it on CCC.de is nothing but a few hundred nerds jerking themselves off about being decentralized.
Most content should be watched decentralized where possible but for “messaging” posts we need them on mainstream platforms boosted by engagement as much as possible.

A lot of people genuinely find Fast Pair to be a big improvement over traditional Bluetooth pairing. So why is it such a bad idea for a company to design a protocol that solves the problem? Also Bluetooth pairing has had its own share of vulnerabilities over the years this issue isnt really unique to Fast Pair.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
I think its fine to have by default but issue is that when people run into critical problems its not easy to restore from the back up. Currently if you cook your system you need to put a live USB in and then run timeshift and restore.
I would consider it to be an easy to use backup tool if the timeshift backups are in the grub menu to be booted into if there is any issues with the main install. But I dont know if this is possible or not.

rolling back or restoring data from a cooked system?
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
Yes rolling back is easy but restoring from a major error using timeshift is not.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
No the issue is once enabled your home directory becomes onedrive. People feel they are saving files into their users/myuser/Documents but they’re actually saving it to users/myuser/Onedrive/Documents. These files are being synced off into the cloud and only pulled down when requested. Then the user decides they dont want onedrive and so they turn it off by unlinking their account. Now they feel they’ve lost their files but they havent the files are still in one drive and they need to go get them.
Its purely user error encouraged by microsofts pushy implementation and bad design.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
Just wait until you actually need to restore using timeshift.

TwoDrive or not TwoDrive that is the question
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
No if you download the local copies back then delete them from OneDrive, OneDrive will delete the local copies you restored to your computer. No because they would go to the download folder which isnt synced with onedrive.
users aren’t “Using OneDrive” intentionally
Yes this is the biggest issue with onedrive but its still on users to administer their system at the end of the day. That means doing the bare minimum research when removing something as integral as Onedrive. You cant just turn off a home directory sync service and not make sure your stuff has been downloaded out of that service.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
Yes one drive replaces the default path locations with its own onedrive locations but the local folders are still there under ~/users/user/Documents etc. Also Disabling onedrive doesnt delete the copies, they are still there in microsoft cloud the user needs to go grab them. The users are using a tool that moves unused files to the cloud, its expected that they take the necessary steps to reverse that when they stop using that tool. You cant just disable onedrive and expect everything to magically be downloaded back unless you click the download all button or go to the website.
The issue is users dont know how it works and dont want to know. I dont blame them since microsoft is so dogshit at ui/ux to the point where its malicious.

No because kids are smart enough to add “write it like a kinda dumb 5th grader” to the prompt. So its not just slop its intentionally dumb badly written slop that makes you question if a sentient being wrote this.

I guess ragebait really is what the people want. Its a bit sad but oh well.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
I dont want to jump to conclusions since techspot is a dogshit outlet for information. Can anyone give me an example of onedrive users losing their files? I checked out a few reddit posts and tech fourm posts and none of the users seem to have actually lost files due to one drive. It seemed that users were getting confused at the onedrive file path overriding their default home path or unhappy that their onedrive hit a storage limit. Like most of the posts are about things that very clearly cant happen with onedrive.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
I dont get why you’d avoid using onedrive in a work environment.

They can lock more features behind nitro. They can charge to run a server. They can add servers you have to pay to join. There is a ton of stuff they can do that would just make things suckier for users on the platform.

fediverse is search engine searchable. They’re public webpages being crawled.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 2 weeks ago:
Discord is technologically lightyears ahead of their competition. Its by far the smoothest large scale chat application out there. The only “dark pattern” is them pushing Nitro and you know what users should buy nitro not free to run a service at that scale.
