Probably nothing sinister lol they're archiving everything every iPhone user has ever had on their device even if they don't sync and some bug accidentally pulled back the curtain for a minute.

There's only one thing he could do to make me consider putting in effort to support him, and that's to stop giving all material aid to Israel.

Imagine voting for someone who didn't earn it. Partisans are stupid people.

I've got 4 of them, 2 t450s, one that's 8 years old and one that's like 2 or 3 years old, one t560 that's probably about 5 years old and one x260. I'm not a gamer so my spec requirements are quite a bit lower than you if you like to play games with demanding rendering settings.

They all have good CPUs, onboard Intel graphics and 16GB of RAM. All but the oldest one have a 4 core Intel i7 skylake and the older one has an Intel core i5 4 cores, I think ivy bridge. It's the slowest and lowest spec of them all but it still runs like a champ.

I used the older t450 for many years as my main machine, it served me well. Gave the newer one to someone in my family to use, they like it. Tried to migrate to the t560 for my stuff because bigger screen, numpad and all that, and I'm always reminded why I don't like big laptops after I start using one. The hinges are prone to loosening because the display is so heavy, the thing is cumbersome to use when writing code, especially somewhere other than my desk.

I moved over to the tiny almost netbook sized x260 and I'm loving it. The thing has a good CPU and lots of memory, and a secondary onboard battery. I'm a big fan of small machines that pack a punch. The keyboard is kind of small but I find that's actually easier than one that's a little too big, for me personally. It's also just a little spongy and not quite as good quality as the keyboards on the other machines. The display is ~750p LCD and I'm happy with that, I've never been too keen on the constant resolution increases in displays, my ideal is 1080 but I do not care for 4k and have never had a 4k display or any interest in one. I'm happy with the display, the rest of my machines all have a higher resolution display and I still prefer the little guy. I was considering picking up a higher resolution panel for the thing but it's just not that big of a deal to me, the display would cost more than I paid for the machine.

I don't think the idea here is deterrent. I think probably the point is to remove these subhuman scum from the earth and thus make it a better place.

Personally, I like the idea of execution for violent rape of children, but I like the idea of that for violent rape of anyone. My concern is of course false convictions. Perhaps this is something best reserved for second offenses.

Dogs can be racist.

Source: had a racist dog once. I don't know where he got it from because it wasn't me.

Yeah archive then

Absolutely you can compete my dude. Just not if you're doing it commercially. If you have the space you can grow everything you need and save a ton of money.

The problem is everyone can't do that. It doesn't scale. To feed 8 billion you need the big ag machine. But you, yourself, if you want to focus your time and effort on digging in the soil instead of being a corporate cog, can absolutely support your needs for very cheap.

My library almost got wiped out when my backup HDD started to fail. Managed to duplicate it onto a new SSD, now I'm fine.

Don't trust services, trust yourself.

You're going to. Why not face reality right now.

I said shit went sideways around 12 years ago didn't i?

I just tried this out. Besides the fact that it doesn't stream and translates after speech is done, it's absolutely fantastic. Of course, it would suffer in accuracy if it were translating a stream so I think that's a plus instead of a minus, although some people might not think so.

This looks really cool, thanks for sharing! I'm a rhvoice user for tts and for stt I use Sayboard with vosk model because I cannot find a single application for Android besides google stuff that integrates as an assistant. I wonder if this does that or if they plan to, seems a bit out of scope for this project.

In a truly egalitarian future nobody will really care. We might notice but we won't really give a shit at all. We were almost there about 12 years ago, then shit went sideways and now people don't shut the fuck up about race.

I don't know what point you're making. Do you disagree with what I've said?

I dunno, I think protesting cars and capitalism is sillier than protesting environmental destruction. But even then, using environment issues disingenuously to agitate against capitalism is the MO of the left, and it has to be that way because nobody would buy their garbage otherwise. That's why they're constantly accusing their opponents of ulterior motives, it's projection, they can't imagine a world in which someone's stated motives are their actual motives because they're compulsive liars.

Incentives to have children will never, ever get you to your desired fertility rate. The problem is, if you take taxes and then give it to people that have kids, you're subsidizing having kids at the expense of those that don't. That means you need a large population of people not having kids to afford it, if everyone takes advantage of it then you'll wind up just taking peoples money and giving it back to them, which puts them right back where they were before your program.

Source on that claim, that affordable housing is the predictor of fertility.

Well that's a big problem nowadays isn't it? They're stated problem is an excuse. They're not protesting due to this impact or that impact, if they were they wouldn't be wishy washy about which thing they don't like. If you ask me, they're protesting Musk but pretending it's about something more substantial.

I use fossify contacts, which allows you to read and write your contacts to/from a VCF file (as opposed to import/export which must be manually done, this keeps them in the file so as you add/remove contacts the file is updated) and synchthing to keep the VCF file synced between my devices. No servers of any of that maintenance overhead needed.

You can use synchthing for all kinds of stuff too. I sync calendar (with fossify calendar) and a keepass PW database and 2fa keys this way.

I've tried everything else. DavX, caldav and carddav, running a little server for all this stuff, it's all fine but it requires you to maintain a server which is your canonical backup. I decided to ditch all that extra stuff and just go with syncthing and files.
