Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don’t overeat

Seriously though, I saw this shit coming from a mile away, it’s been dead obvious that the US had some really bad growing fundamental issues that were never going to just magically go away by themselves (I mean, hell, not just the US, but still, they were going to be the first ones, and then there’s stuff like climate change…)

Why the hell do I seem to be able to figure out overarching trends better than literal professional politicians and leaders of countries? It’s so immensely infuriating

It’s possible AI data centers will just be outsourced to other countries. You don’t really need the data center to exist locally in the US

Exhibitionism. It’s hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual

If you don’t understand it, then that probably just means you’re not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are

I can see a clear difference between 144hz and 240hz, so even that part isn’t right

And I haven’t used an 8K monitor, but I’m confident I could see a difference as well

Deck 2 probably won’t come out before the next generation of chips at least

They very much are, there’s just little to no political will to implement them

In the end, the stock market is a natural logical progression from the starts of capitalism, and the situation we are in today is again closer to capitalism logical conclusion

From capitalism’s basic principles, profit above literally everything was always bound to happen. Just how evolution happens through natural selection. It’s a similar process. Because ultimately capitalism is an economic system built on competition, not cooperation.

I have like the exact opposite issue. I’ve used windows for most of my life but it’s so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you’d like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of “run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn’t work” I’ve seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I’ve wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn’t work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that’s garbage and dumb, as I’ve used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn’t inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I’d have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

It’s a century defining moment for sure. It’s what everything has been building up to so far

It’s not fatalism, it’s realism and a call to action

In addition, animal abuse happens constantly at like, meat and animal products factories, but that’s perfectly ok for some reason

Idk, I find it weird how the law is selective on this kinda stuff

If you buy a bag of flaxseed it will last you for months and months

The amount of flaxseed you need to substitute one egg is tiny

And it’s dumb, because, in the end, where is all that profit supposed to go?

The answer obviously is, to improve the country and the quality of life of its citizens, so we’re back to square one anyway

Does it matter? Legality is just and extensions of the will of the state. If you and your friends control every part of the state, then…?

This is why legality is not, should not, be the basis of morality, ever.

I don’t know enough about the subjects to go into details, but I know enough to say that that is reductive. ARM/alternatives are not inherently better, at least not universally. And, especially because of the inertia, I do not expect x86 to be fully replaced on the desktop any time soon. The motivations behind companies such as Apple using ARM likely have more to do with licensing than anything else

It’s probably more useful to think of x86 and ARM as slightly different tools that are slightly better suited to different tasks. Desktop, server (and possibly high-performance) computing are x86’s specialty, and I do not expect it to be replaced

All-in-all, from what I know, the practical differences between ARM and x86 are nowhere near large enough to be compared to something like the electric vs internal combustion engine. It’s probably closer to a difference of, say, a typical train and a subway

But, please read up on this yourself. I am not an expert in hardware, this is just what i casually picked up as a layperson

It’s very much not? It’s not even certain if an alternative architecture will ever fully replace it

How is it human nature when it’s literally the system that is the problem? This is not about individuals, but about systems, specifically the profit motive

Competition for the most profit under capitalism is literally the driving factor for all of this. If you don’t do it, someone else will take your place and do it instead

Or the French revolution, for that matter
