They most certainly are not. If you're buying unhealthy food only as snacks, you mistake your subset as all unhealthy food.

If you need calories and are on a shoestring budget, your options are potatos, bad bread, Coles cakes etc. You can eat for a week on a few dollars but you'll become overweight and eventually die of malnutrition. Your options become even more limited if you don't have a working stove due to being cut off your gas.

Unless China's mode of production changes very quickly, deflation will probably be a bad thing; in a capitalist system, labour is also a commodity not immune to deflating.

Unlike commodities though, labour tends to take exception to this happening.

I'm not reveling in China's issues, I just don't want to celebrate an imaginary win just because capitalism sucks.

I started using Linux maybe 5 years ago, just before DXVK and proton became a thing. The difference between now and then for gaming is night and day.

If it's on steam, there is a pretty good chance it'll work. If it's not on steam, it still might work through lutris.

There are some holdouts like Riot games, but I haven't owned windows in almost two years.

Even if they don't, buying this game still goes in to lining JKRs pockets, something she has explicitly considered as validation of her beliefs.

The makers of the movies, and the publishers of the books also probably didn't all have anti-trans views, but they don't have to for JKR to use them to cause harm.

I get it, the devs of a good game don't deserve to be attached to her, but you've got to draw the line somewhere and this is where I've chosen to draw mine.

Quantum Mechanics' hard indeterminism doesn't prove the multiverse interpretation, it's just one of several potential explanations for the randomness we see.

I'm honestly more worried about science communicators projecting life-changing properties onto it because "superconductor", and then the public coming away with "these scientists are all hyperbolic hacks".

This looks a lot less like diamagnetism than the previous videos, but is still using way larger magnets than they should need; still very sceptical.

Also a reminder to anybody reading a news article about this: LK99 is likely a ceramic, so the attributes specifically for metallic superconductors would not apply.

Hailey Williams. Wasn't even into that genre at the time, but her voice always made me think "wow, this is pretty good".

Interdependency is a large part of issues; If you have an aur package that breaks but has no other packages that depend on it, you have a minor problem. If you have an aur package that breaks which many packages depend on, you have a major problem. Keep your libraries as unchanging as you can; out of AUR if possible, definitely not -git packages.

An AUR pkgbuild can also perform arbitrary actions to install the package, the security implication is obvious but many also miss that, yes as you install more AUR packages your system will diverge from the expected Arch state. Normally this is minor and fine, but it could trip you up here and there.

I've been considering copyfarleft licenses like the Anti-Captialist Licence and the Peer Production Licence for a while now; I like the licenses themselves, my only issue is that since there is no body like the FSF to enforce them, a company large enough is likely just to steal the code or break licence.

Timberborn was worth buying when they came out in alpha, and have made so much progress since. Super fun game still undergoing frequent solid feature updates.

You may run into a few hurdles until ACPI support for RISC-V devices matures a bit, but hopefully it'll be better than the situation with ARM boards.

If you have the order volume, enough capital to book fab capacity and a solid margin, kind of. These agreements are often done in cents per chip with minimum volume amounts, this is why you see most complicated ARM SoCs targeted at the smartphone market first and trickle down into lower margin products later.

This is the consequences of only being able to get your licence from one vendor.

Sure, but they're all using ARM IP; RISCV isn't just one entrant into the processor IP market like ARM is, it allows any company to become an entrant with its own IP.

Sure it's not currently the ISA for man main processors, but it is already used by companies like NVIDIA and WD in their products.

The advantages that we'll see come from the implementation more than the spec, but having an open standard for the ISA allows more companies to make implementations and to innovate.

The true benefits will be ~10 years in, when RISCV chip designers are more experienced and have had time to innovate and build good IP blocks.

E.g. companies that make ARM SoCs are pick'n mix'ing IP from ARM, and adding their own special sauce on top. The future in RISCV comes from having many companies that compete to make intercompatible IP, which hardware vendors like Qualcomm and Rockchip can then licence to make SoCs out of.

There is benefit to RISCV, over ARM but mostly that comes down to:

• not having legacy compatibility to maintain.
• having a frozen spec that is less likely to slowly get feature creep like x86 & ARM.
• having hindsight for things like vector extension implementations & macro-op fusion.

Individualistic thinking such as "don't eat meat," or "don't have children," is making a moral judgement as well as using the trivial answer to the problem. (If there were no humans there would be no human-caused climate change, amazing.)

Saying "don't eat meat" is an individualistic proposal, but that doesn't mean it is ineffective or a moral argument; reducing the carbon intensity of the food you eat is undeniably effective at reducing the demand for carbon intensive foods. It's not the same as shutting down a factory farm, but it is still having an affect. It can't be the only thing done, but saying "that's an individualistic argument" seems like avoiding the fact that it is undeniably effective. Choosing to eat meat is an individualistic decision as well.

Not having children is more complicated. Humans don't inherently have a net positive carbon offset, because we are able to create things like carbon sinks that more than offset that person's individual carbon output. The problem is that our system as it stands actively discourages people from having a positive environmental effect. I choose not to have children, because in our current capitalist driven climate change train, having children is like bringing a log into a house fire; they're not going to make a big difference but they are kindling nonetheless and will suffer for it.

You can be legally compelled to give access to data in Australia, this includes decryption keys and biometrics.

Aus border security care most about weapons and biological matter; dirt, wood, bugs, plants, food etc.

Coming from Indonesia, you may be profiled vis-a-vis potential biological material but showing that you've taken precautions when you packed to make their jobs easier will expedite any bag search.

Unrelated but have an off-site backup! Airport baggage handling are not gentle, and your spinning rust may be DoA.

Owning pirated materials is likely illegal in Australia, but it's not what border security are looking for so you're right they wouldn't care.

As far as ARM SBCs go, I'd say B tier. Not as good as a RaspberryPi or RockPi but armbian installed great. Had a pain debugging the rockchip video decoder in a container, and still have issues with USB hard drives.

If you're coming from x86_64, be prepared for some unique challenges.
