Apple by this time next year: We need to epoxy the entire airspace inside the new iphone because… waterproofing? Sure waterproofing I promise that’s why we did that.

On instances that do not use downvotes they aren’t counted when viewed from that instance.

The typical distro’s installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don’t worry about that. I’m doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

Yes, easily done.
Open KDE partition manager
Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
Once it’s transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check “automatically mount on boot”

You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

So these things where AI blatantly lies about something go around pretty frequently, and if you google them 2 months later they still haven’t done anything about it. They’re bound to be forced to do something legally sooner or later, so why not just hire like 20 people to y’know, do the bare minimum now before you’re ordered to employ 1000? It seems pretty likely that’s where this is headed.

Yes I’m aware of that, but we aren’t talking about industrial diamonds

Alright unpopular opinion, but that would actually make them look kinda cool.

You’re just mad because you weren’t smart enough to invest during the downturn. Didn’t you ever hear “buy low sell high”?

Paying thousands of dollars for something that drops most of its value in just a few years can leave the buyer feeling cheated

How is that any different from non-synthetic diamond rings? lol

I expect diamonds to fall off entirely in the next decade or so. Their (natural, later artificial) scarcity and (manufactured) tradition was all they ever had.

It obviously isn’t because of , and I don’t believe it’s just something intrinsic to adapting one medium to another (notable exceptions like Dune notwithstanding (it’s all internal monologue and nuance, and you really can’t do much with that in a video format (I don’t consider the old Dune movie to be the same thing really, but it’s still a masterpiece in its own right and dear to me))), because I’ve seen that done very well before, and I’ve never gotten a satisfying answer why this keeps happening.

They get some guy who wears those Hollywood-ass glasses to every interview (with the squareish trapezoidal frames of transparent plastic), with that Hollywood-ass haircut (not-short-not-long tousled-ish) who admits and/or demonstrates that they don’t understand or even like the source material, and lo and behold it shows through in their writing.

Check me if I’m being boomerish but I just can’t buy that any of these shows/movies/media are getting by on any semblance of merit, nor a genuine preponderance of types (who I’m skeptical exist as such, I think they’re just movie enjoyers who take what they can get) who want this either. I think the media companies are just that good at gaslighting and advertisement, then patting themselves on the back about what a good job they did.

Often the casting, costuming, effects and so on are on point, obviously costing several millions, but it’s built on a foundation of “This is what MATH can do! (applause)” writing that I feel absolutely comfortable critiquing because, yeah, I could do better than that actually and I’m a terrible writer. Why not just… write a good show instead?

VRchat and gorilla tag are by far the most fun things on VR and are pretty accessible when it comes to processing power actually.

I find that in VRchat the mic anxiety goes away when you’re talking to a 3d model of Dr. Eggman or a Skibidi toilet. Something about the presence I dunno.

I leave it on the mouse maze one because I think it’s really cool

I haven’t found that to be true of cheap mice and keyboards, or I have to do a certain key combo every time it loses power. I usually end up desoldering the LEDs, but sometimes that makes it stop working so I have to resolder them and put tape around them.

Oof I didn’t mean to denigrate that for you. You certainly shouldn’t feel bad about that

Personally, I wish they would just include an off switch.

RGB shit everywhere

Does anyone even like them? Looks like a tacky Christmas tree to me.

I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it’s scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.

I don’t know who that is

It’s more like, the things these “left the left” sort always end up saying demonstrate that they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. I just had one tell me the other day that Marx said we have to execute anyone with wealth, but what about electricians? They have wealth are we going to execute them too???

No, you were never a leftist. You clearly never read ANYTHING Marx wrote if you don’t know the difference between wealthy and bourgeois. It goes this way every single time I interact with one of these types. Usually they drop the pretense at some point and quote atrocity propaganda.

I don’t know why every single company is so allergic to buttons anymore. They say it’s for waterproofing or for cost, but the fact that I can get a feature phone for $15 which is waterproof and has a shitton of buttons disproves that.
