- Comment on Emotional abuse of children by immigrant parents probably contributes a lot to to why the kids hate their ancestral language. 10 hours ago:
If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.
Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

I suspect the effect might be less significant in humans (not human cells, whole humans) because of the square-cube law.

(This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads)
There’s a reason we have different words for “cooking” and “baking.”

This also changes through the lifespan. For infants it’s more like 60% of caloric intake
And for 79-year-olds it’s apparently more like 0% of caloric intake.

Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?
Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter sold his farm proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.
- Comment on Return to the year 2000 with classic multiplayer DOS games in your browser 1 week ago:
I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn’t go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.
- Comment on Return to the year 2000 with classic multiplayer DOS games in your browser 1 week ago:
I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.

Heh, I didn’t even get as far as typing anything. I clicked on the search box and it was at the top of the “popular searches” list.

There’s nothing more permanent than a “temporary” fix.
- Comment on New Zealand bans puberty blockers for young transgender people 1 week ago:
Kids are stupid and can’t consent.
Right, which is the entire fucking point of blocking puberty: to put off the issue until they can consent!
The least-risky/least-permanent option is to give them the blockers, not withhold them from them! I am sick and tired of conservatives’ ass-backward nonsense trying to pretend the opposite.

Except Linux isn’t the dark side; Windows is.

*from, you mean. Welcome from the dark side.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 week ago:
Choices which don’t matter nearly as much as people like to pretend they do, no less.
If you’re having trouble deciding, just pick a popular (general-purpose) distro at random. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, Bazzite, even Arch – whatever, it’ll be fine, don’t worry 'bout it.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 week ago:
It’s pretty much just like installing Windows, except minus the parts where they force you to create a Microsoft account and badger you to accept spying and such.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 week ago:
Freeze? Nah, it’ll keep chugging along 'til you reboot (or otherwise try to run a new program), and then won’t be able to start.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 1 week ago:
Neat, thanks!
I’m not thrilled about the camera quality (compared to a purpose-built surveillance cam with 4k and good low-light performance) and I wish it had PoE, but damn, can’t beat that price!
(Side note: does anybody else find it weird that PoE is so uncommon and/or adds so much to the cost of these IoT dev boards? I get that normal people don’t want the hassle of running cable, but it feels like the hole in the market is bigger than it should be.)

TFW Cloudflare is down but I can’t tell Lemmy about it because… Cloudflare is down (and Lemmy.world uses Cloudflare).

Tell me more about your homebrew esp32 cams, please!

How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam without connecting it to your network?
You’re not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 1 week ago:
The exceptions are things like my phone because it’s a necessary device these days and there aren’t a lot of options for something not locked down to all hell.
Graphene is good enough, IMO.
The real problem is that getting to 99% is damn near a full-time job and the capitalist cartel actively punishes it (by only offering owner control in ‘commercial-grade’ products at huge markup, or not manufacturing such things at all and forcing you to DIY).
It’s unreasonable to expect any but the most dedicated (read: stubborn) people like us to be able to handle it; the only viable solution for the masses is to wrestle back control of the government and end regulatory capture of the FTC etc.

Didn’t they already try that? I figured that’s why Amazon wanted to buy them.
- Comment on Native Americans? 1 week ago:
Most people in Argentina and Uruguay are white, and the (indigenous + indigenous-mixed) majorities in some of the other countries aren’t necessarily big enough to be considered “virtually all,” especially when you consider that there are folks with African ancestry there as well.
- Comment on the self-hosting rabbit hole is a bottomless pit, isn't it? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been noticing several new or new-ish accounts acting similarly. I need to go find an admin/mod discussion about what I (as a mod of another community) should be doing about it.

Well, cool it anyway 'cause it makes people think you’re a bot.

I hesitate to mention this because I don’t want the ebay seller to sell out before I decide if I want one, but…
Craft Computing has a recent video about a used Supermicro “Microcloud” server that holds 8 Intel socket R nodes in 3U and costs $400 (apparently including CPUs but not RAM). Seems like an excellent way to get cheap redundancy, albeit at the cost of probably not great power consumption because it’s so obsolete.
