That is more than a 10% loss of that customer base in 2 month.

For any industry that is huge.

I used to run SuSE and i appreciate their 100% open-source philosophy. But when i can’t run videos on websites because the codec isn’t open source, it is not suitable as a daily driver.

I feel like many programmers (or their management) have grown ignorant to resource limitations over the past decade or so.

Obviously there is good examples like many linux distros running well on 4GB RAM and the like, but when it comes to windows, websites and proprietary programs, they gobble up insane amounts of RAM to provide almost the same functionality as in 2010.

If it is very dry, doesn’t that also mean it is less likely to spread/leak into the aquifer?

E.g. dried cow-manure seems to be fine for the environment to handle.

The DNC Dems are there to prevent a progressive party from forming. The DNC Dems are working together with the Reps to fight against the people of America for the rich oligarchs running the country.

We warned that this is what is going on before the last presidential election and before that. But people wouldn’t want to listen, instead defending “slow genocide” and “lesser of two evils” and other insane statements. Now they keep getting screwed as the DNC Dems understand that they will keep getting away with it.

Solar energy, temperate climates and a self regulation mechanism to distribute heat well, liquid and clean water, plants and animals providing nutrition, materials for anything from a clay hut to microchips…

Accepting either presented level of shittiness is what got us here in the first place.

Trump couldn’t have done it without Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. The House Reps would struggle more, if it wasn’t for people like Schumer. If Democrats had called out AIPAC over the past twenty years instead of drooling over the opportunity to aid and abet war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide for them, we’d never had the whole “yeah i am voting for the slow genocide” argumentation being somehow “acceptable”.

And the most important thing is that the current Democrats are not going to be a driver for positive change. They are still fighting against moderate progressives like Mamdani and pushing for neoliberal reactionaries like Newsom instead.

It is affected by how efficient your muscles are as you don’t reach a 100% energy conversion. Given the typical representation of Super-Heroes as muscular, but usually not hippo-sized, their muscles being “super efficient” would be one way of explaining why they manage to get more strength out of less muscles.

Also he worked out by lifting train carts.

I think you can allow for a reasonable level of trash talk. Calling someone “noob” is fine imo. as it remains in the game, rather than getting personal.

The Quran does not specify the reason for the prohibition and this is the common theory. Other theories i have heard, but not from scholars, revolve around pigs being particularly social and empathetic animals. Although the same can be said for grazing animals and many hunted animals that are considered halal.

I mean Muslims shouldn’t eat pork, or use products derived from killing pigs for that matter, unless health or life are at risk. This sometimes becomes an issue if material derived from pigs is used in medical products, where it might become necessary to consume it nonetheless if no halal alternative is available

However being around pork is not an issue and when it comes to things like a shared BBQ good practice would be to grill the halal food before the other food, or use different roasts.

Hamas is a product of Israeli occupation. The IDF is a product of Israeli national identity.

If it wouldn’t be Hamas, it would be a different violent organization, like before PFLP, PLO, etc. When people are brutally oppressed, it leads to violent resistance, that often will not limit itself to military targets.

They are both linked through their families colonizing history in South Africa, including staunch Nazi support in their families.

The survey did not ask participants whether they support Palestinians more broadly, despite Israeli leaders repeatedly framing their war as being against all Palestinians, not only Hamas.

Oh no, how terrible for media to follow standards in reporting when it comes to criminal suspects, rather than throwing these standards overboard and allowing for witch hunts. Because that would never backfire onto the people at large…

We live in a society and you can’t have it all your way.

Social norms are necessary when people come together.

Someones interest in not wearing pants needs to be weighted against other peoples interest not wanting to see their hairy balls halfway falling out of their slip. Imagine if that coworker whose “jokes” are just short of sexual harassment now gets to run around naked and rub his balls on your desk and you are not allowed to tell him to fuck off, because that would violate his “no-pants”-rights.

It seemed that for Jackass ultimately noone was killed. Also it seems that the participants were not in a vulnerable situation that was exploited, but engaged with full consent and were able to give consent.

After the whole spiking their own wifes and mothers to pass around for rape online, including with making videos and now this, i am starting to think France has a pretty bad problem with psychopaths and a society that is looking away or even encouraging it rather than stepping in.

A GUI makes sense if you want things to be approachable. A CLI makes sense, if you want things to be well customizable.

E.g. compare LaTeX script with setting formatting in an office program. Yes i see directly how the formatting is. And if a good Formatting standard is set, it can be used quite well nowadays. But if just want to put one Paragraph differently in order to fit a picture or table or something then things quickly get messy.
