Isn't it likely the police is kind of right?

I mean, how many people in that community used grapheneos phones before the drug dealers figured out how good they were for their purposes? So in that community, it's indeed very likely that a grapheneos user is in a drug gang.

Does that mean that grapheneos is an issue, or bad? Not at all. But i see a lot of digs at the police here at how dumb they are. But if literally most grapheneos users there are drug dealers, is it dumb? It's just a plain observation that's pretty correct.

And it's kind of logical that proper open source tools that are not full of spyware are better for also such purposes. Doesn't make these tools a problem. If a politician would now start a crusade against such operating systems, that i would agree is dumb.

But i don't see an issue with police somewhere realizing that drugdealers use a specific tool, and focusing on that. Of course sucks for the couple of regular users there that just do it to have control over their device....

You really need to work on your reading comprehension.

Acknowledging that something isn't illegal/impeachable is completely different from normalizing.

Reality is what it is, whether we agree with it or not. Should it be different? For sure. Is it different? No, and acknowledging that is NOT normalizing it, it's just saying that the truth is the truth. What is wrong with that?

This is a great initiative, and Ross did an incredible effort, and i hope this second wind gets the petitions the signatures they need.

Infinite respect for Ross, he can truly say he did everything he could do.

Indeed, Russia still calls it a "special operation" if i'm not mistaken. The rest of the world obviously deems it a war.

If we don't agree with this, we should push for the law to be changed, but so far it seems he's within his rights to call such a strike, and democrats not willing to waste their time on this is then reasonable.

That's all this is about. Not justifying his actions, not saying it isn't war, not saying it shouldn't be different. Just stating the facts, what they mean, and thus why the actions of these democrats sadly does seem to make sense...

Why don't you google it?

Declaration of war seems to have a specific meaning, and doing a bombing doesn't seem to be part of it.

and all the rest of your post just doesn't make any sense. It's not because you didn't officially declare war, that the other party can't retaliate, can't declare war on you can't.... It's just... an attack can cause a war, but isn't a declaration of war, those are two separate things.

It can indeed be taken as a declaration of war by the other party, but if it isn't officially one according to the American law, then that's it... This appears to be within the powers of the president, and that's all this post is about...

Does it completely suck that he can do this? obviously. But this impeachment seems silly, so why make a fool of yourself and go through with it when it just has 0 chance of succeeding?

are you now on purpose misrepresenting this???

He said impeachment doesn't make sense because he didn't do what they're accusing him of, and what he actually did is something pretty much every president has done in the past century, and is apparently allowed.

Doesn't mean him doing it is morally right, or that he should do it or... Just that this impeachment is just a silly show that will achieve nothing except making everyone taking it seriously look like an idiot...

Is it worthless to say "(the current iteration of) AI won't be a huge revolution". For sure, it might be, the next decade will determine that.

Is it worhtless to say that many companies are throwing massive amounts of money at it, and taking huge risks on it, while it clearly won't deliver for them? I would say no, that is useful.

And in the end, that's what this complaint seems like for me. The issue isn't "AI might be the next big thing", but "We need to do everything with AI right now", and then in a couple of years when they see how bad the results are, and how it negatively impacted them, noone will have seen it coming...

I love how the title is basically also the problem.

Who the fuck has some obscure library that is the basis of many other tools as their "favourite project", even though it might be a fundamental part of many other things that are actually the favourites of people.

I get that the lemmings here are enthousiastic about linux, but even as a developer, every time i work with linux, i end up facing the most annoying user hostile problems >_<...

Since this is gaming related, and i just faced one today: I bought a Legion Go (steamdeck like device), and put bazzite on it (steamos like os). And was trying to run visual pinball on it, which actually has a linux build. Try to run the linux build: shared library libbz2.so.1.0 not found.... Google around a bit: a yes, because that's a fedora distro, unlike most other distros, they named it libbz2.so.1 . But many apps assume libbz2.so.1.0 also exists so try to use that. Fair enough, i'll add a link with that name. Ah yes, this is a distro with a readonly filesystem. Lucklily as a dev i realized i can probably put the link in the folder of the program itself, and that indeed worked.

But ffs linux world, why do you fuck up such basic things like just agreeing on how you name basic shared dll's (googling for it i found people struggling with this when using python, so it's not something that rarely happens)....

I love the control linux offers, and got NAS and a little server running linux, and for the handheld it'll probably give me more battery life or performance too, so linux for sure has some benefits.

But if you have to be an expert just to get things f'ing made for linux to run due to stupid stuff like this.... whyyyyyy??????

It's sad to see factual comments like yours getting downvoted, because some just don't want to hear this truth.

It doesn't mean you support these kind of things happening, just that you understand the reasons they're doing this shit...

And @ all the haters, get a life... you can disagree with the current rules, and how they're enforced, but you can't deny reality.

Haven't heard much about that yet, indeed also sounds bad. But it's anycubic so who cares :p.

But yeah, it's indeed not the best trend. But it also up to open source to actually compete with this, and not just chase shiny features, but also usability...

Just wondering, is this "trend" you're talking about just the Bambulab situation, or are other manufacturers doing the same? I'm not super up to date on 3d printing news, so not sure if i missed more such changes.

If it's the bambulab situation, it's not entirely unexpected. When they started people were already worried about exactly this seeing how closed their ecosystem is. Then again, they did make a printer that just works better than the competition, and that's in the end what attracts users.

Personally i have diy 3d printers that i built myself, really happy with them, but for people who just want to print things, many other filament printers are just too annoying to work with. Not everyone is into diy, and many people just want to make cool stuff and not care about the printer, and bambulab really made the next step towards achieving that.

So if the open source community wants to compete with that, they must make printers that are as user friendly. My diy 3d printers are like running linux. Really great and customizable if you like to work on 3d printers, and really reliable now i as an expert built & tuned them. But most people just want to buy a machine that works, and that's not these open source printers. And as long as we just focus on making 3d printers for expert diy'ers, we'll end up in the same place as linux is for OS'es: used by experts and for specific advanced usecases, but beyond reach for the common user that's then stuck on systems like apple/windows that are more locked down, but actually just work without having to understand how the entire thing works.

As with Star Citizen, just add it as a non-Steam game and viola.

You need a viola these days to run a game on linux?

And people are wondering why Linux is less popular :p

Indeed, any number multiplied by 0 is zero, but infinity is not a number.

So then it starts to depend on what the 0 actually means, and what the infinity actually means, and depending on the context 0 x infinity can be all kinds of things.

Nope, look it up, it's undefined.

You can define things that boil down to 0 x infinity that equal anything you like. It's undefined and is dependent on context. Infinity isn't this one number, it's a concept that encompasses a lot of things, and the way you achieve an infinity matter.

yeah, but 0 times infinite is undefined, so who knows what'll happen ;)

Indeed, that's why i hate it that so many people here are raging about this while it's something both sides are doing...

I get all the Trump & conservatives hate, but sometimes this community is raging over something that's just done by both sides... So being outraged about it is pretty hypocritical....

Is indeed a fine example. Keeps raising the same questions: is it ok to rewrite books? We're supposed to be outraged when maga does it, but it's ok if we do it?

Indeed

And that also bothers me about threads like this... both sides in the USA seem to be guilty of this, so to now call it propaganda & nazism when the right is doing it... It's of course true, but the left wing is doing the exact same, so you can't really be that outraged.... You're both doing the same thing :s
