I am not looking for software alternatives.
Ok then
Is the best method still to dual boot?
No, the best method is Windows or Mac…
i didn’t want to do that, so just i changed to Darktable. It’s more ppwerful then LR but that power brings a bunch of differences.
Everything ? I though MS Office woukd fail becase no one will want to close source their data files, i was using an Amiga at the time at home and the file format was standard and you chose the app to use
It started there and just progressed, Apple was a big one, people won’t buy into their closed wall’d shenanigans. Wrong again.
Messaging, what a debacle that has turned into. I assumed the system would be standardised and the fight would be over the front end for interoperability, wrong again.
So the takeaway here is we need to invade the US , batter them into submission before they’ll become reflective and apologetic ? Similarly Russia, and Israel i guess
But never the stories about the “acceptable” public.
Plumbers, electricians, weapon factory supervisors, miners, grocery store managers.
And I’m learning it by experiencing it now.
It’s not that all conservative people are stupid but all stupid people are inevitability conservative.
So, technically, with a lot of word pushing, there are socialist speed bumps
And so is the road
Short version - there’s too many elderly people in China and not enough working age so the economy is suffering
More children is never the answer becase all that does is kick the can down the road, in 30 years time they’d have 3 billion and a shit ton more elderly, so wjat then doibke down and make even more kids ?
We can already see if we empower women and let them choose they’ll mostly have 0,1 or 2 kids. The only other solution is to force women to breed and have no choice (religious scum fuckery). Even the nordics with way better supoort for women and childbirth etc are still less then 2.1
We’re better off learning lessons from xenophobic counties like Sth Korea and Japan and seeing what solutions work in regards poulation degrowth, becase every country will eventually face this issue
This contlstat framing of less people on the planet as a bad thing is ridiculous, should we have 1000 billion and all stand shoulder to shoulder ? How tobdecide ? there is some sort of sustainable level, why not let those expert in the area advise us ? if you do that, the number is less then a billion. Classical and neo liberal Econonics should play no part in the debate.
it was one of the most important breakthroughs to date in fusion
What ? It was not really. Here’s a physicist discussing why.
https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/08/fusion-foolery/
In the end, the NIF fusion accomplishment might be called a stunt. Stunts explore what we can do (often after an insane amount of preparation, practice, and failure), rather than what’s practical. Stunts hide the pains and present an appearance of ease and grace, but it’s a show.
The “more energy out than laser energy in” equation masks several fundamental problems. NIF’s doped glass lasers have an efficiency of about 0.5 percent, meaning that they would have sucked in roughly 400 megajoules of energy from the grid in order to produce the 2.1 megajoules of light energy…
To be fair the hype machine was from the press not the scientists
Let’s pause to say: well done! Honestly. No sarcasm. What they did was ridiculously hard, and it finally worked after more than a decade of trying. They actually produced a significant number of fusion events! There’s no faking that, and I’d like to see you try. So let’s be clear that I’m not knocking the accomplishment in itself. My major beef is how we interpret the implications for society.
Started year 5 on this one, if the batteey was user replaceable, I’d so that and keep using it.
If you don’t shit, you die!
The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship…
They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire and when looking for empathy are shunned
There a word for that /s
These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
But thats the same with everything, Mastodon and X as well.
Hell, even Governments like mine here in Australia use that shitty platdorm. Why there is no gov.au Mastodon server I don’t know.
Well, the ladies like the bears, maybe this is why, the bears are mostly gay ?
They can never buy enough Hellfire missiles to stop an invasion by China, Russia or the US. They’d be better gifting them all to Ukraine.
Similarly here in Australia with our ridicluios Submarine purchase, this is chest thumping theatrics.
That aside, fuck Denmark and their MDGA views on immigrants. Their white Denmark policy is appalling.
Not if its under the auspices of the state. They are after all the entity describing murder. When the armed forces kill somone for example (recently in Venezuela butnalos Nigera etal)
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime - Max Stirner
You can’t even make a purchase on a credit card unless the US okays it.
Yes and no, I was on Mastodon long ago, peaked into Lenmy, watched other Fediverse prokects with interest.
I’d not used Reddit for many years, before I actually made a Lemmy account, then when I saw Boost was available for Lemmy, I started using that.
I am odd though, old and have a differnt view of the internet based around it being a space for enthusiasts and tinkerers and corporate can and will only ever eventually enshitifiy whatever their fingers touch, so I dont use things like FB, Reddit, Apple products, Microsoft products, WhatsApp, Insta, Light room etc
I disagree with this, it is unfair to poorer people that still have to find a way into still overpopulated areas & can be done in other & better ways.
That’s not true though, They’re spending the money raised on improving PT. And PT in buses that exisits now will have a better time not being surrounded by the fuckery of cars, also cycling is cheap ! NYC aren’t the Feds, to do anything the need to raise funds, the Feds can run an endless deficient as they own the currency, NYC does not. This doesnt even look to the savings for lowering car use eg health benfits, less polltuon etc
Overpopulation is the problem & this does not address that problem, just makes it harder for people to get to jobs & other needed activities.
Sure, on a planet level but even if you did a Thanos and 1/2 the population how are you going to stop say people in various American states moving to NYC ?
Starts with raising taxes on Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes,
Agreed but I’d go futher and crimalise being “super rich”.
Condition benefits for having children, so that stops after 1st birthed child & 1st-adopted child,
No, you then have an adandoned class of children for anything over 2, birthrate is already well below 2.1 so no further measures are needed there
No more immigration allowed
What ? This doesn’t solve anything, it’s like saying no more homlessness is allowed by moving the homeless next city over.
And what of emigration, fuck people if they want to move to another country ? I see lots of US aged pensioners moving to places like Cambodia, should they be barred ?
Anyhow, longer term, none of that matters, ignoring climate change as we have will see the collapse of civilisation anyway. No matter how many billions they spend on flood defences, NYC is lost sometime this century.
Like the IS Government? Fuck 'em
