Give me liberty or give me symbian maemo

FTFY

Tardigrade. Also Macaw if it hasn’t been used yet.

Like transform back and forth under my control? Study the physics of matter transformation and invisibility, maybe earn a Nobel prize in the process.

Is it though? Nearly 10 years ago they were going to sell them in retail for 200$, now it is 225$, and its going to be so much better. My time steel lasted for so many years… And it was wonderful, I miss it so much. After the battery started to get too weak I started the search for an alternative, there’s so little offering what pebble offers. Ended up with a Garmin, which is… OK, but the price makes me nearly consider it not worth it, around two years ago it cost me 350€, and it was the cheapest version. It’s probably great for super sporty people, but I just want a basic watch that helps me get notified and check a bunch of things.

In my opinion what pebble offers is incredibly good for the price, specially compared with what there is in the market currently.

I love the changes they have done. I loved the pebble time steel, and personally the design of pebble time 2 was not my thing and I was devastated that pebble time 2 was dropped. This new design manages to marry the pebble time 2 and the pebble time steel incredibly well. And the color options seem really great actually… It’s going to be difficult to choose.

And furthermore, it is a relief to have again the metal buttons. I’m going to have to dig out the time steel to see if I can use it to test the new version to see if I can get back to developing some watchfaces.

Well sure, since you ask… Spotify might be crap, and the CEO is… Well, the usual shit person CEOs tend to be. That doesn’t make physical media any better, digital media is by far much much better in many ways. Specially if you go sailing with your wooden leg and hook hand and parrot on the shoulder. You don’t want to carry all the extra weight of physical media while sailing… And if artists sell directly their music even better, I always support artists selling on their own without intermediaries.

What do you like most, being kicked in the balls or being hit in the balls with some object?

I was studying abroad in a place where this kinda trust exists, while on my original country is not that kind of place you would leave a tablet or a phone visible (or anything alone at all). I decided to join the university gym during my studies. After the shower I go into the changing room and there were a couple of guys talking in my mother language, but you know, people get naked and it is not the kind of place to be making friends or start random conversations, so I mind my own business and I hear one of them say “hey man I got my laptop with me, where can I put it to keep it safe?” And the other answered “nah don’t worry man, just leave it there no one will touch it or know it is there”.

They proceded to go into the shower, I was left alone, of course no cameras, I could have taken a free laptop and leave. But I just thought how interesting that we are willing to trust others being abroad and in our own place we would never do that. Those guys never knew I understood all they said. But I rather not get the free laptop and feel like I can live in such a country where I can trust others to do the right thing.

When being from the lgbtq community means that you are persecuted, punished and your life is threatened, doesn’t it mean it is political? why do you say it is not political? Or is that about fighting for survival? Is fighting for survival political? Does it even matter? You don’t specify it in your comment, are you supporting the other comments that because it is political companies should stay away from it?

When laws and states and governments try to push too far to limit things such as gender identities the lives of many become political as they are threatened by the laws, states, and governments. And yet, the rights and survival of people in peace is not truly political. That’s just the excuse used to try and censor the discussion of such topics.

Pride movement is as political as Christmas is political. There will be people that make it a political issue, but that doesn’t mean it is actually political. A company that celebrates a holiday that big part of the population celebrate is not siding with a political party or even with a religion. The rights for any minorities in a government or a state is political, but pride is a celebration and as such it is not political. A state making a religion official and forced/encouraged is political. Celebrating Christmas is not political. And celebrating Christmas as a company doesn’t mean they alienate customers or employees that don’t actually follow the religious side of the holiday.

Don’t get sucked into the idea that a company cannot show support for minorities or make events depending on the celebrations socially occurring because you need to be neutral. That’s not neutrality, that’s self censorship.

To take it to the extremes, are we expecting companies to say they are not against slavery but also not in favor, because it is political? Child labour is bad, but I don’t want to support any side because it is too political. Terrorism attacks? Well we don’t have a stance against or for them, it’s just too political.

There’s a big difference between siding with one party or another and not showing a stance into what should be universal human rights. Are universal human rights political? Well kinda, but we shouldn’t support, or allow any company that is afraid of supporting human rights because it might alienate some customers… Pride and lgbtq rights might not be on the same level as slavery, terrorism and child labor but hell who someone spends their life with is a human right and has nothing to do with politics.

The artist is not the same as the work.

The world of Harry Potter, the books, the movies, future shows or whatever involve a lot more people than just this fucking idiot shit writer. And a shitty person can anyway create a good thing that helps people.

Now in this case where the author is still alive, let people enjoy harry Potter stuff, while asking people to not send money her way. Help people pirate her books if they really want to read them, pirate the shows and movies. Better yet, make those involved in the shows and movies voice their opinion against her, make the money going to those works support trans people to counter JK. Make her see her works support the causes she hates.

Alienating people for liking some book series, movie or show that was made, paid, produced, written or whatever by some asshole won’t help the situation. In other words, in this case, harry Potter is not the problem, it’s the author.

This has been my path so far, nearly to a T. Got an old laptop, installed endeavour with a very light DE and attached an external drive and started messing with *arrs and jellyfin and bunch of other things.

The only downside is that my family now relies on that for watching so I’m more careful of not breaking the stuff that works.

Got another laptop that had no use so I started playing around on it. Installed Debian and CasaOS on top to test if that would be a nice alternative.

The only real issue is the lack of time to spend on this.

Please show some respect, that’s not fair to clowns

And I could rebute to that, that if someone is interested enough to check it with AI then they were likely to try and check it anyway without AI, maybe it would take longer, it would be harder to find… But they’d be the intended audience that now are redirected elsewhere.

To quote myself:

It’s a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

We could rebute again and again and again, and get nowhere because either option is hard to discuss as it is simply impossible to give proper data to prove anything. And worse, when defending the use of AI for it can lead to being told you are allowing it in the first place and that’s not even telling how many people still believe that AI needs real sample images to produce those (whether the algorithm is trained or not on CP is irrelevant on this particular point, as it is not needed to be created)

Hmm… In my mostest most humblest of opinions, no, you didn’t get carried away. You explained it in just the right amount. Maybe even stopped too soon, would have loved the version for Mac.

I’m not the kind to hate on nuclear power itself, but let’s not assume it’s perfect either. There are good reasons against nuclear power, its just not the usual reasons raised by people.

The cost and time effort needed for building one plant is one drawback.

The fact that you can’t say “let’s turn off the nuclear reactor now that we have enough renewables and later today we start it again when the sunlight is over”. It’s a terrible energy source to supply for extra demand needed without perfect planning.

Nowadays, nuclear is not so worth it in general, not because of fearmongering about the dangers (an old plant badly upkept is a danger, independent of what energy source you use, but specially for nuclear plants). Ideally a combination of different renewables would be best, with some energy storage to be used as backup, plus proper sharing of the resources between different places. There’s always sun somewhere, there’s always wind somewhere, …

As a counterpart, the fact that it is so easy and simple to get those AI images, compared to the risk and extra effort of doing it for real, could make the actual child abuse become less common and less profitable for mafias and assholes in general. It’s a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

Normalising it would be horrible and should be avoided, but there will always be some amount of people looking for that content. I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content. Persecuting the AI content is not only very inefficient, it might also be harmful as the only other content left would be the real one that is much harder to catch those who make it.

Let him be president for life, if he agrees to have a very short life left. Then sure, it would be good news actually.

OK so what are the chances that the military would revolt against the government? Would those in command fired have any power left in the army due to loyalty or simply annoyance of the power grab?
