Ah. That makes sense. Let me make you feel better. In some provinces in Canada (or all?) children can’t be left alone, without adult supervision until the age of 12. It’s illegal and parents get in trouble for it. Even leaving your kid to play in your backyard in the suburb while you’re in the shower can become a problem if your bored neighbour calls the authorities. Imagine growing up with that kind of lack of autonomy. Even if there are kids around and even if there’s public transit. I still heven’t figured out how to workaround that for my kid but I suspect I’m gonna be breaking the law. 😂

In Germany?

Really?? That’s hilarious. 😆 There’s a lot of German info in the channel description, but who knows.

Yeah. That said, I think on average there’s more imperial in the mix in the US than Canada. Canada went through an intentional Metrification process but it didn’t go all the way through. In part due to trade with the US. 😅

100% and it’s accurate. It’s how we do here. 😅

Perfect. I’m downloading it to seed!

That’s my Canada goose brain talking. 😆🪿 It’s literally the common term used to refer to the total area of a housing unit. Here for example a major real estate firm explains the importance of square footage measurement.

For extra entertainment, this is a handy flowchart of Canadian units of measurement:

The plattenbau buildings tend to be simpler due to the standardized, factory-made concrete panels they’re built from. That said they can be built extraordibarily quickly. These days, modern building methods and the availability of building equipment like concrete pump trucks allows for similar speeds. In the 50s, coming out of the war, the speed of construction of prefab panel buildings was revolutionary. It’s how large populations in the Eastern Bloc went from living in precarious conditions to having a 20th century standard of housing amenities.

As someone who’s grown up in one of those and now rearing a child in Canada, I’d like to tell you that it was an absolutely incredible place to grow up in. The urban planning is such that there’s parks with kid playgrounds sprinkled between the buildings. There’s ample trees. There’s schools and kindergartens at walking distance where kids would often walk alone to/fro. There’s convenient public transit stops. There’s density that lets kids make tons of friends and always have someone to play with without “playdates.” Parenting in such a social environment is so much easier than what parents face in Toronto, it’s not even funny.

E: Oh and the square footage in the average commie block apt is equivalent to a large old-school 2 or 3-bedroom apartment in Toronto. Most are family-sized units.

What are you gonna do with a 9800X3D without RAM? Upgrade the existing rig instead.

FTFY

Yeah, I saw that and assumed they’d be torrents of the metadata.

Does anyone see the torrent links?

To some, it’s the same picture. It’s especially tone-deaf in the current geopolitical env, given what the imperialusts have in store for the Venezuelan people, should they succeed in toppling Maduro.

Was saying this ever since the technoligical transfer to the US began. The more is transferred, the less the US has an incentive to defend Taiwan in any domain. Also TSMC’s interest is not the same as Taiwan’s. The leadership and ownership of TSMC, a capitalist corporation, will focus on their own profit growth. If that profit growth goes through technological transfer to the US, they will transfer technology. In the medium term, for them it doesn’t matter whether it’s Taiwanese workers producing semiconductors or American. Taiwan’s sovereignty interest is in conflict with that.

It’s all fun and games till someone asks who the brutal dictators are.

I donate monthly (recurring) to:

• Lemmy development: https://join-lemmy.org/donate
• Our Lemmy instance: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate

Currently most large instances are well funded so I’d personally focus on development funding.

Yeah, multi-megawatt wind turbines are pretty common.

Been using Jenkins since before it was called Jenkins. It’s been in use at every corpo I’ve worked for. It can practically do anything. Especially coupled with Docker.
