I love this one but is the gif moving at 0.5 frames a second or is it just me

I think you’ve got a bit of a strawman going here

Those who complain about the environmental impacts of AI almost invariably complain about flights and beef as well

Yeah, I’ve realized that you can’t really put people as easily into the “introvert” and “extrovert” buckets, because it entirely depends on the day.

I can be a social butterfly one day, hyper productive the next, then want to watch reality TV and not leave the couch another. It just depends on the vibe of how I’m feeling

I suppose then a more accurate description would have been horticulture; but I’m using “farming” here as in planting and growing things, not for subsistence necessarily

I guess on some level there’s something wholesome about it being a gardening game. I wonder how much of the success is owed to the natural human inclination towards farming

FYI for anyone not in the know, this is the Good Good Good Newspaper advertised by Hank Green

It only consists of “good” news and is very uplifting - generally every print edition features some kind of theme like “animals” or “medicine” or “art”

If you can afford to support, I think it’s a great way to encourage more uplifting news in our world

My advice would be to treat investing in unique assets - like shares in one company or Cryptos - as gambling: only put in what you’re willing to lose. Anything you can’t afford to lose should be saved or put into index funds with lower risk and volatility.

You just cannot know what an asset will do in 6 months. You can have a really good guess, but at the end of the day it’s still a guess. And that guessing is even more difficult when it’s a non-productive asset like Bitcoin, because then you’re just gambling on vibes. There isn’t much logic to Bitcoin’s price besides “what if” and FOMO.

So yes, if you can afford to lose the money, you can leave it in. But if that money going to zero overnight would impact your quality of life or ability to absorb unexpected expenditures, then liquidate.

And on a more personal note, you’re probably better off having the drone you want than flipping a (digital) coin and hoping it’s heads

It’s comments like this that almost make me miss reddit gold

NordVPN on the same level as Arch? No way

I think the “high-speed” is the important part there. You have reduced speeds after the first 30Gb

Dude chill out, why are you so angry? I merely pointed out that one of the videos does not support your claims and suggested an alternative hypothesis

Sorry for upsetting you with discussion hot damn

The top right video is a video absolutely dumpstering Tesla and calling it a worthless stock. Your recommendations will also highly depend on what video you were just watching, could it be that users who watch your video also happen to watch these other videos? Is that the platforms fault?

I’ve found it hogs a bit of resources so I shut mine off until Plex crossed a line

Looks like that day came sooner than I expected

What run command did you use? Any resource constraints?

I was a big Arctis 7 stan two years ago. I had three pairs at one point

But then they started pushing Steelseries GG and the experience just deteriorated from there. The new Arctis models are just awful, it’s like they didn’t understand why people liked chat mix

The idea of searching had me thinking that it would be nice to have a search-focused instance that didn’t defederate from any sites (besides the illegal stuff) and auto-subscribes to every new community so it has all the information possible. Then you could do “foo bar site:searchlemmy.com” and get an effect similar to reddit

Although that’s probably unnecessary. But would be kind of cool

I have a friend who is just so damn stubborn when it comes to mixing up their “comfortable” things if they aren’t the one to come up with the idea

Very frustrating

Any suggestions for an XMPP client?

In an ideal world I want something that has Discord’s “drop-in” chats where you don’t need to “start a call” anywhere, you just join in. My biggest gripe with Element’s voice chat

Good to know, thank you for the link

What VC money has Matrix taken? Genuinely curious

My guy take it down a notch, damn. I’m not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.

But, to address your issue:

Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I’m grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a “part 2”.

I also just don’t appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that’s what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don’t love it.
