Computer is computer, and it works great. Phone is computer, so it should work great.

I understand this thought train, but yeah I had the same reaction as well.

This should be done to any laptop after 4 years. A tube of paste only costs like $5, and it will have a massive difference.

I've always been interested in if there were a way to bake more RAM onto these boards. Presumably the pads are there and they're just not populated, so could you make a stencil for the solder balls with a cnc and buy another RAM chip and stick it in to one of those directed heat platforms. Would macos accept that, or would it throw a hissy fit because of miss matched licenses.

I don't know anyone who prefers Tim's over other coffees, but I do know that they sell a ton of coffee.

This would really rely on having a very competent and trust worthy source, and in not sure if that exists for software the same way it does for movies/ TV shows.

Greenbell Nail Clippers. They're expensive, like $20 but holy ducking shirt are they amazing.

I always assumed it was shark skin...

OK but can it be three words, because "Goliath Halfling Fairy" is the bottom line and that sounds as metal as frig.

The more people that use Linux, the better it will get! It's win win!

Zipline is doing some freaking amazing things!

It's complicated. Legally we don't have "freedom of speech".

For clarification: Do I believe that's a core human value? Absolutely.

Do I believe that tolerance is a social contact we should all abide by? Very much so!

Do I trust society to regulate itself? Heck no, from a sociological point of view that's a mess for lots of reasons. In smaller communities it may be ideal, but anything anyone says now is considered on a global scale.

So, from where I stand, it makes sense for a governing body to place limited restrictions on what a person should be allowed to say in the public sphere. This specific issue is debatable and relies on a certain amount of faith in the institution. Is it right that these people were punished for saying their beliefs? That's another complicated view that depends on a case by case basis. Is it legally allowable that a politician be censured for what they say? That depends on what they said. Is it morally allowable? From a moral absolutionist point of view, probably not, but our charters were made to prevent people from calling for violence in the public sphere. Is it morally acceptable to allow for someone to call for violence in a very real way as a political representative? What constitutes violence? How far can we deconstruct the rhetorical arguments our society is based on?

It's complicated. We don't have freedom of speech and we don't have freedom from consequences. If you give people you agree with freedom from consequences you also have to give it to the people you don't agree with.

Freedom of speech or freedom of expression isn't freedom from consequences. Words matter, and they have consequences, and people should consider the consequences of their speech in public.

I would blame this, and a lot of the problems "western" countries face, on the proliferation of 24 hour cable news networks since the Gulf War.

It's actually wild to me,as a Canadian, how this isn't a thing in America. Interac blows away my American friends on a constant basis.

I did not know this existed and now I am obsessed...

I mean, maybe you shouldn't have let the rhetoric of your party devolve to this point? Maybe you all shouldn't have normalized abuse and violence against elected officials?

Republicans really have no one to blame for this than themselves.

Remember that one episode where they say: "Risa Jar Jar Binks!".
Yeah, it's that.

I used Flexcil because of its ability to import and export pdfs. The files it makes aren't really portable but they can be shared by exporting.

I've been telling myself to stop distrohopping for 7 years.

Kinda surprised I had to scroll this far down to find logseq. I've started using it in university and it's been a life saver. I love the idea that everything is in these nested blocks, so I can just hammer down notes about whatever super quick with no setup or thinking about it. I just plunk my laptop down, open it up and go to town.
