They don’t mention it in the description but this is mainly about kernel fixes and some associated utilities which have improved VRAM management on AMD GPUs on Linux. It’s not upstreamed yet AFAICT, but that’s why they used CachyOS which includes the patches and utilities out of the box.

There’s not too much that can be done in the short term. I’d like to see an increase of the welfare rate, but that seems to be a hard sell at the moment.

Any other solutions that apply more generally will likely just make inflation worse. Longer term solutions such as electrification, a more aggressive renewable rollout, and local urea production will be more of a benefit in the long term.

You could rapidly roll out active transport measures, but it’s probably not enough to make a huge dent in overall fuel demand, although it would be better than nothing.

I prefer to use a system with more RAM, but even many of today’s systems are still using that amount (especially since the AI supply chain crisis).

I’d try chucking Linux on it first, which is generally more RAM efficient if configured correctly.

Hopefully forgejo will have federation released soon which will make interacting across projects easier. Although maybe that will just encourage the bots to use it, so can’t win really.

This article from the same author is also a great read:

Marc Andreessen is a philosophical zombie

and reinforces how out of touch these people are from reality due to their lack of intellectual curiosity and the cavalcade of equally vapid sycophants that surrounds them.

Your body gets used to it after a while, although you may still be a bit more gassy than people who shit once a week.

That’s unfortunate. There’s some discussion on ProtonDB that may be useful for workarounds etc, but you’re probably already aware of that.

Another option might be the LTSC version of Windows which doesn’t have as much of this nonsense.

Or game on Linux instead if you game of choice isn’t riddled with anti-cheat “software”.

When you stop trying to prove to people that you’re an adult.

Another thing I noticed recently is how many people can’t even go for a walk without looking down at their phone the entire time. I get that carrying a phone is pretty essential for most people, but people used to at least keep it in their pockets. Now they are either carrying it in their hands or actively looking at.

Actually, I wonder if the size of phones now is worsening the problem because they are too big to fit in their pockets? Probably a secondary cause though I suspect.

Name reminds me of rockbox, which is a Linux-based firmware for digital audio players. I’m not sure if the name is intentional but this looks to be a similar idea but for gaming handhelds.

“Sense” seems to be responding to backlash in this case. They are still supporting TP’s extreme right-wing anti-education propaganda, by a school of all places!

EDIT: It read like the school were organising it themselves but it seems it was by a student club? Kind of weird that such a thing exists and they can host “high-profile” people, but there might be some indication the school itself wasn’t aware of it.

The relocated gathering will be restricted to members of a TPUSA-affiliated student club and a single guest apiece. School officials were careful to note that taxpayer money won’t foot the bill, and the visit carries no official district stamp of approval.

This is for freight trucks, not the “trucks” that people drive to their suburban supermarkets.

And in the case of freight, the lack of charging infrastructure is a significant problem, but hopefully the war will drive government and private operators into action.

These men come to me with tears in their eyes telling me they are more straight than anyone else, maybe ever.

Women have a significant issue with losing muscle mass in older age, increasing the chance they will be frail and have limited mobility. Lifting weights throughout life is protective of that (and for men too, but to a lesser extent since they tend to have greater muscle mass).

The main issue is that while a subset of the West are giving up meat, the consumption of meat is increasing in developing countries which is a typical trend as countries get richer. Also, there is a subset of Westerners increasing their meat consumption massively because of idiotic social media trends, but hopefully that is temporary.

I’m hoping that plant-based meat and/or cell-based meat eventually match or exceed meat in quality and price, but we are not quite there yet. Not that I’d eat anything that smells or tastes like meat personally, but people seem to be addicted to it.

their pedestrian warning system is also louder than fossil fuel cars.

Hasn’t been my experience, not that I disagree with your overall argument. Might differ by country and regulations etc.

I wouldn’t say I disagree per se, but I do have some issues with the argument.

EV tax concessions and student debt reductions may benefit the well off more, but they also encourage greater uptake in education and help address climate change. Everyone is fucked if we don’t address climate change quickly enough, and so speed is paramount.

On education, I would consider it a failure of society if only people from well-off families are attending university. We need a highly educated populace to counter the rampant misinformation and disinformation that permeates the world today, and to participate in a society and economy that is becoming increasingly complex. I’d prefer a move back to free university to be honest, but by the authors argument, this would be even more unfair.

And on universal vs means testing, a separate argument against it is that these systems become very punitive. Our welfare system is decent on balance, but people who access it can end up being treated like a criminal and have to jump through excessive hoops because of the enforcement mechanisms to deal with purported abuse.

That all being said, I do think governments should try to address inequality as much as possible, so if policies can thread the needle of means testing that is restrained and not punitive while keeping costs reasonable, I’m all for it.

People online are actually “real” people as well (assuming they are not bots) so yeah, at least some subset care. Do I care personally? Not in the slightest.

Better get going on those taxes Neddy!
