1 - get off your high horse

2 - they asked a double question about how did Stalin and Hitler rise to power and how does fascism take hold in a society, they didn’t equate Stalinism with fascism.

I wondered how long it would take for a .ml to turn up and contribute absolutely nothing.

Everyone could learn a thing or two from the Steamdeck. The twin sticks, the touch pads, the double shoulder buttons, the four on the back, the overall ergonomics, it’s really great to use.

My infinite money has built a space elevator to eliminate the need for rocket launches.

Create an energy efficient system for carbon capture from the atmosphere and the oceans. Something that can be used at the sites for heavy emitters and also generally around the world.

Create a system to collect the captured carbon and bring it to a central site.

Fire that carbon off into interstellar space.

Use the revenue generated from fees from heavy polluters who can’t decarbonise effectively (things like steel making, glass works, air travel) to fund low carbon energy projects and storage/distribution systems for developing nations like in sub-saharan Africa and SE Asia.

As a dyspraxic, I feel you. Years of special classes to try and improve my handwriting and general coordination (this was before the condition was very well understood) and none of which really worked.

I have simply learned to avoid writing by hand as much as physically possible. It’s the main reason I was so interested in computers as a kid (again, before they were in everyone’s pocket) and I found programming as a creative outlet very liberating from the limitations of my physical abilities.

Of all the heinous things MBS has done, this is the one to generate outrage?

I remember the first time I saw the phrase “streaming video” was a website called “teen steam” (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.

I’m sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that “streaming” was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.

Hip Hip! Zoombinis!

globally all forum sites would just fold up because the UK has a stupid law

They can just block access from any UK based IP address and carry on as normal. Like many of them are doing already, including some Lemmy instances (although funnily enough, not lemmynsfw).

If you use your machine predominantly for gaming, Nobara is a good option. Built by the same people who made Proton (the tool to get Windows games working well on Linux). Comes with everything you need to get going out of the box. Based on Fedora so lots of community support. Comes with either KDE Plasma or GNOME to give you the desktop environment you prefer.

There’s no absolute measure for “pollutedness”. How do you compare something filled with plastic waste, something filled with human feces, something contaminated with industrial run off including PFAS?
