  • What kind of American, is my question. For larger sub-types, we have the great state of Canadia up north, Texas in the south, Mexico in the south-south, then and then the Panama canal, that splits us from Antarctica. (The rest is just volcanoes and rain forest; Not even worth mentioning, really.)

    In the Murica, we have about 50 states, each with their own ideology, culture, food, language, road system, religion, insurance policies and vehicle preferences. By far, the biggest ideological differences spawn from if you fight for Carl's Jr. or Hardee's. We kinda have Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, but I need to check the books on that.

    Texas is by far the most independent. Unless there is a hurricane, measles outbreak, electricity shortage or need for other commodities from the other bastard states.. They will temporarily join the Union followed by absolute denial that they need the rest of the states for anything. So completely independent and we should be scheduling our next civil war shortly, but the forms for that got lost by the USPS which is yet another service they have never needed.

    But yeah, we have a million different sub-cultures here is my point. It might be easier to call us out by car type, TBH. The differences between a Ford/Chevy-American and say, a Honda or Tesla-American are very telling. The Tesla-Americans are going through a transition now, so we can put them off to the side.

    So, with all of that, bunching us all up as "THE muricans" is really silly. Most of us can't afford the trip through the Rockies to mix and mingle with rumored the California and the Washington anyway. (Those "states" don't even exist to me.)

  • Yes, but you get used to it. It's a typical feeling for the first few years if it's your first house.

    Learn to repair things properly and that will reduce a ton of stress. You will also learn what things can be put off and what needs to be done immediately.

    Over the years, I have learned how to do just about every kind of home repair or update. Its been rewarding, actually.

  • Goddamnit. Now I gotta ask if there is actually a correlation there. Impressive if so.

  • Undesignated blood practically grows on trees, so it's not like it was a huge sacrifice. Hell, if you sent a baby sailor one compartment over, he would somehow end up in medical with a nose bleed.

  • Rail guns were supposed to be the brrrrt but now it's hypersonic missiles?

    Totally a missed opportunity for ultrasonics, if you ask me.

    Zumwalts are the special little children of the fleet, unfortunately. The hypersonic missiles are probably going to get put on hold for phasers or disruptors or something. Each of the crew is issued a bat'leth, so that is cool.

  • Shoes don't go on your dick. Unless that's your thing, which is still fine.

  • The idea behind mentioning specific YouTube and Instagram content is that you only view content you selected, not fed.

    That is kind of a bitch since you need to find content for starters.

  • As others have stated: https://riscv.org/about/

    Now, there would still be a metric fuck ton of money involved. Chip fabs aren't cheap, engineers aren't cheap and project management isn't cheap.

    The open architecture means there is already a framework and R&D costs will also be limited. And yeah, no licensing fees like we already covered.

    Without diving deep into RISC V, just because there is an open architecture doesn't mean that there are machines capable of manufacturing whatever specs are required. Licensing fees for machining could be pure insanity.

    Still, a few million (or billion?) is normal when it comes to making this stuff.

  • They are ordinary Mastodon posts that happen to be on Lemmy, you mean. Everyone on a thread getting tagged on every comment and hashtags aren't the Lemmy norm.

    I've blocked most Mastodon posts on Lemmy, but it's not because they are "bad". Its just that if I wanted short-form social media, I would go to Mastodon directly.

  • I know .world is notorious for running older Lemmy versions. Not sure if .ml does the same. Dunno if that is the commonality with this particular issue.

    Are you getting the blank home feed as well? That is new, but seems to be related to the edit/refresh errors I have always gotten with Connect. (It really seems like the edit error is server side and was going to wait a few more Lemmy versions before "formally" reporting it here.)

  • Seems this is an instance issue.

    • my home instance is lemmy.ca
    • i navigate to a post in my profile and begin an edit
    • after an edit on a post on lemmy.world.
    • after backing out of error and then my profile page, back to home feed.

  • Testing for a second edit of this post that should generate an error, so I can get a screenshot. Third edit. Of course it's not going to do this on demand. Fourth? Fifth in a thread?

    fuuuuuuuuuu

  • It seems that a few router types have WiFi + SoC setups now. (Like ones using the IPQ4019, for example.)

    While that doesn't significantly reduce the risk of something nasty, it would limit places for nasty code to hide. Well, "hide" in the traditional sense, like on another chip entirely.

    However, I haven't really looked into any drivers to see how these SoC's are segmented to see if its really any different than the old MCU + WiFi chipset setups.

  • It depends on how bad China wants your porn. There could be secondary MCUs that are designed to completely bypass the original firmware. (Think Intel ME)

    That is not very practical for consumer grade gear, but still possible.

  • I have my doubts about that. Most of the mass posters are too "conservative" and lean extremely hard into stereotypes. They take racism and bigotry just a bit too far in many cases and it doesn't quite align with actual conservative bigots and racists that I know.

    It wouldn't be surprising if most of the "conservative" communities are part of the same troll farm that lives primarily on other instances.

    This is all speculation, of course. But, organized campaigns to spread discourse on social media are real and some of these trolls are really good at what they do.

  • I was referencing another thread in this post, so it's not you. Sorry to give the wrong impression.

  • And that's OK! Some people just need to blame everyone else for everything that is fucked up in their own lives. I don't support that, but it is what it is.
