  • No! Heathen! Download the source for every package and compile it yourself! Compile the kernel yourself, compile the compiler yourself! Never script anything, always do every step manually, every time! Using tools that make things convenient and foolproof makes you weak and unappreciative of the real hardship and struggle it requires to checks notes use a personal computer!

  • Man, this false air of superiority you're exuding is pretty weird. There are bad engineers, and bad skilled trades people, and bad managers, and bad business people. Every walk of life have people that are bad at their jobs, it's by no means unique to any one class of worker.

  • You can save quite a bit by getting a refurbished Pixel - looks like the cheapest "Google certified" option (so it comes with a 1-year warranty) is a 6a for $250, which is nearly half off MSRP. I've been using my 6a since launch, so it's been going for 3 years now and I have no desire to upgrade.

    You can definitely get cheaper smartphones, but $250 for a 6a feels like a pretty big bang for your buck.

  • But you can't say X + Y is better than Z (by itself)

    I mean, yeah, you absolutely can. Especially when X + Y and Z are both common configurations, and using X or Y by themselves is uncommon or a known bad setup.

    Sure, you can't be certain which of X or Y is making the differences in the comparison, but the comparison can absolutely be made.

  • Eh, splitting the party (or at least exposing the division within the party) is a long shot, but it's really the only productive way forward if the Democrats want to actually change and fix things. Repeatedly exposing Democrats that vote against the people's interests is the most surefire way to get those Democrats voted out and replaced with more progressive candidates. Failing that, breaking away from the Democratic party and forming a new more progressive party isn't the worst long-term option, even if it (probably) won't be very effective in the near-term.

  • The first thing I thought was something like helping sort/categorize photos/documents/etc. for libraries or museums or something. But then that made me think of all the existing citizen science efforts out there where they have people categorize images of galaxies and stars and stuff, or run protein-folding simulations on their home computers, etc. I wonder if those kinds of existing things could be spun as "volunteer work".

  • In a nutshell, interpolated frames are basically just extra generated frames that go between the frames outputted by the video game itself. They're used to combat things like motion blur, and to make animations look smoother.

  • What difference does to make if someone is sitting on the bench, laying down, standing, crouching, or in any other comfortable resting position? It's a public bench, to be used by the public however they see fit, as long as they're not causing harm.

    It's weird to enforce the "correct" usage of a public bench, or the "correct" amount of space a person is allowed to take up, especially with such drastic elements that you yourself admit are not very effective.

  • Literally anyone using the bench potentially prevents someone else from also using the bench. Why is it a bigger deal when it's a homeless person doing the using? Also, I'm sure there are other more attention grabbing options than a flyer, if we use our imaginations a little bit. Why is your focus on prevention and not education/outreach anyways?
