  • It's a bit flexible nowadays because a lot of cars will let you leave the a/c on while you walk away with the keys.

  • I won't even post to Hexbear without rereading my post and editing spelling/grammar errors, how do people submit research papers that will effect their professional reputation without doing it?

  • Funny fact: google's newest feature is also its best, but it's kinda hidden and might not be available everywhere - it's "web search", which cuts out all the awful bullshit

  • Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?

  • I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.

  • I'm sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't ever just use VLC.

  • We're leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive. Liberals are predisposed not to like us because of the first one, and we're especially prone to arguing with them in the comments of their instances because of the second. This means we're more well known and more disliked than we would be if we stayed in our corner.

  • Hopefully they restore the game in all regions where it was disabled. It went from being region free to blocked in 172 countries.

  • this is the ending to Men in Black (and then they did it again for the ending to Men in Black II because that film was creatively bankrupt).

  • This is true of current gen air combat, but I'm speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.

  • Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They're gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.

  • Stealth becomes obsolete

    Missile defenses get better

    BVR combat becomes basically impossible

    Everybody always knows where everybody else is

    Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors

  • Left that unchecked, I've got 16gb ram so I don't think that was the issue

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Has anyone here encountered a problem with Fitgirl repacks where it keeps going until it fills your drive?

  • You know how we all found out that Boeing had dry rotted from the inside because the 737 Max started falling apart? Whose to say that Lockheed hasn't gone through exactly the same shit, but we just barely get glimpses of it through the smoke of classified documents.

  • This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China's tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.

  • Ready Player One I guess. There's a big difference between seeing a fuckload of pop culture artifacts on screen and reading multiple pages of somebody rattling off their knowledge about them. The worst part is that RP1 doesn't even really engage with the culture it utilizes in any kind of interesting way, it's all just surface level references that you'd learn from reading Reddit comment sections where people quote memes at each other. The movie on the other hand kind of makes it work because the pop culture artifacts aren't dwelled on, they're used more like an aesthetic choice, while the main focus of the movie is on its paint-by-numbers plot.

  • for "foreign interventions" I would do something like, "10 million killed since 1947" vs "ended Apartheid" instead of what you got there.

  • edited out of the episode and then the user could also download said episode where ads are cut out of the final audio file

    This is your problem, because you're redistributing someone else's work with the ads cut out, which isn't sufficiently transformative to qualify for fair use. Sponsorblock is allowed because it doesn't actually interfere with the video stream, it just tells your computer when to skip ahead using YouTube's already-existing playback features - your app should work the same way, integrating into an existing podcast platform and skipping forward based on crowdsourced timestamps, then the only thing you're providing are the timestamps, which don't violate copyright.
