I’m ok with this - lubuntu has my back.

Darkest dungeon - though you need to make it to the ending to find out why you’re evil.

Honestly? I’m on the 3rd cycle with my AAAs (used for an MP3 and small electronics) and the 2nd for my AAs.

I’ve not noticed them lasting less, and I’ve already made back what disposables would cost.

Bonus: I charge them at work because why not.

Apples to oranges - open source is generally done as a charitable act; onlyfans is a profit driven industry.

The former is out to make the software ecosystem richer, the latter is out to make themselves richer (or has no choice).

An interesting note is that OF replaced the informal system that had evolved on Tumblr, and was designed to be less exploitative than mainstream pornography - in this the evidence suggests it has been successful. It, of course, exploits male loneliness like a well oiled machine, but that’s (apparently) ok.

So essentially laying the groundwork to microtransactions for video game guides?

I got mine 2 (or shit, is it 3 now) years ago - 10/10 best laptop purchase in a long while.

GPD have done well for themselves in the small screen laptop space!

1. Shift over to open source.
2. Invest 25–50% of what you currently pay for proprietary software into helping maintain and enhance open source software.
3. Enjoy the economic benefits well maintained free software brings to every aspect of your digital infrastructure at no extra cost.

Quality article - thanks for sharing!

I used to make (very bad) ASCII art as a hobby during my PhD (it’s good for relaxing), and a lot of the “smoothing” I learned but I think the method for good contrast would have really helped back then!

Agreed, so when are we getting clear glass doors, and can we take all these curtains down?

Ad allergy - when the API went I tried default and fled screaming into Lemmy pursued by 100 “hot singles” ads.

*so that the government can say kids won’t watch porn.

Rule 1 of computers that everyone who has taught an ICT class learns - if little Timmy wants titties, he finds a way.

The purpose of an education is to learn how to think, not how to work.

A lot of universities are being treated as training centers for the world of work - and this is not ok.

It’s all about probabilities.

Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.

This wasn’t an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he’d left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.

The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?

On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn’t kill himself.

I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.

1. A takedown request was issued on false grounds.

2. This takedown was then actioned without any due process.

3. The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).

Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns…
