  • Can confirm. I'm using Kubuntu because the Debian installer didn't detect my hardware correctly and I couldn't be bothered to figure out why. Aside from snaps, I don't care.

  • It's used in a lot of smoking/roasting applications to keep the moisture in. Just don't let it touch the element and you should be fine.

    What is this, "el-em-ent?" I don't understand. Are you talking about the hot coals?

    (On a related note, Hank Hill was wrong.)

  • Sometimes there is so much configuration options a GUI would scare most users.

    Or if it didn't, it would be because the dev limited the options displayed so much that it would cease to be useful for most users. (This is especially true when different users are likely to use different subsets of options rather than having the majority of them using the same subset.)

  • I'd call it a "novelty" or "gimmick" account because a "meme account" should post memes, but yeah. Either it's using chatGPT with a prompt like "write some bullshit about X in the style of Jordan Peterson" or it's actually Jordan Peterson posting some bullshit.

  • French is also useful because of Overseas France. Personally, I don't necessarily want to move to Europe; I want to buy a sailboat and travel the world. French-speaking islands are relatively evenly-distributed all the way around it.

  • I appreciate the effort to explain it but dude, that’s all totally foreign to me. You guys literally speak different languages.

    That's fair; it's literally a math/computer science/computer engineering topic.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that more of that sort of thing ought to be taught to everybody in K-12 (because you aren't really computer literate unless you can automate workflows, if not by "programming" then at least by scripting), but that's a rant for a different thread.

    Anyway, I'm sorry about Firefox not behaving the way you want it to, and hope that it improves for you in the future.

  • As much as I'm inclined to agree with @MaggiWuerze@feddit.de, the real reason is typically that all new developments are required to include sidewalks, but existing ones aren't required to retrofit. So you get a patchwork of sidewalks installed over time as things get torn down and rebuilt.

    The "annoying and pedestrian hostile" part is municipalities' unwillingness to infill sidewalks in front of old developments at taxpayer expense.

  • boolean is a totally different thing in 3d software. It's where you remove something from another something or combine.

    Nah, it's exactly the same thing. 3D software is just applying a Boolean function to two sets of points at the same time, instead of one scaler piece of data like reading a setting.

    In other words, Firefox is doing f(a), where f is a unary Boolean function (identity or negation) and a is a single true/false value, while your 3D software is doing f(A, B), where f is a binary Boolean function (union a.k.a. AND, intersection a.k.a. OR, etc.) and A and B are vectors of true/false values representing whether particular points of space are contained within object A or B respectively.

    (Some 3D software might be more sophisticated than that, using mathematical expressions of the object boundaries to get exact answers instead of interpolating between points, but I'm just trying to convey the basic concept here.)

  • Everything you mentioned is simply a subset of "[corporation] takes away our ability to own property" (i.e., trying to usurp our fundamental property right to control our computer). You can also add Apple and John Deere "right to repair" to the list, along with automakers trying to lock capabilities of the machine we already payfor behind paywalled subscriptions. It's all the same underlying issue.

    Make no mistake: corporations are waging a war on the public's right to own property, and we're going to be forcibly returned to serfdom if we don't start fighting back.

  • we need to push representatives into office that are far more left-leaning and not fucking autocrats who will MANDATE massive increases in taxes on billionaires and legislate much more significant subsidization of public transit

    You're framing it wrong. We don't need to elect scary commies to massively increase taxes in order to subsidize icky collective things; we simply need to elect Fiscal Conservatives™ who will cease massively subsidizing car dependency. In particular, it's time to repeal Big Government® intrusive regulations that try to tell Red Blooded Americans© they can't build a multifamily building on their own damn property or that dictate minimum parking requirements.

    This is America, damn it! It's high time we put the invisible hand of the Free Market back in control!
