  • The Gaza genocide did not start on Oct 7, much like the Russian incursion on Unkraine did not start in Jan 2022. Both of those are tremendous blights on human rights and should be equally condemned.

    Of course, voting for Biden is the only stable option as much as one may lament that it shouldn't be.

  • I mean I can take up issues with Linux as well. The driver support can be iffy at times, especially with Nvidia, gaming can be a challenge, depending on what game you're playing.

    "Not that bad" is a phrase, which acknowledges issues but still contests something to be bad beyond acceptance.

  • A keyboard is not just to enter text It can do a multitude of things like emojis. Good luck remembering all the mappings on a physical one, or you end up with having them eat screen space. Might not be your use case, but a vast majority of the world uses it.

    Additionally, this increases the overall screen real estate. Aside for sliding keyboards (which I did add a caveat for in my original comment), a physical keyboard would be in the way for most of the usage an average person makes on the phone, like watching videos, looking at pictures.

    A physical keyboard would probably weight more as well (this is just a guess, based on the idea the membrane, and additional circuitry required for a keyboard would be more than the weight of a glass panel).

    A physical keyboard adds an additional point of failure on your device as well.

    I'm not saying virtual keyboards are perfect. Like any other thing, there are trade offs to make. But in the form factor phones work in, a virtual keyboard makes more sense according to me. The best of both worlds would probably be a sliding keyboard, but that does add more weight to the device.

  • I tried some prompts and that's exactly what it did. OP here was accusatory in their prompts, and I guess that triggered the LLM to end the conversation.

    I asked it upfront about Halloween documents, and it shared that they were anti-FOSS. I asked about MS's stance on FOSS, and it shared the challenges and collaborations.

  • Sorry if my message didn't convey this.

    I didn't ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It's more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.

  • Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.

    Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.

  • While the general idea of Buddhism is pretty nice, there are some highly questionable aspects like women being impure by birth, and not being able to achieve Nirvana (eternal peace/heaven) either through rough tribulations or doing enough good to be born as a man.

    Of course it's impossible to check if it was Buddha who said it, or it was added later by his people, but the above is something that isn't discussed much imo.

  • I don't think the novels would've worked regardless of time. The whole point of Foundation as a series was that there's no real protagonist in the series; the society as an aggregate works in a certain way as dictated by the rules of psychohistory. The concept wouldn't have translated into a good TV show.

    The show that we got is more of a generic space action, which has some interesting parts, but meh for most of it.
