They’re a little different, but it’s a very similar concept.

It’s called hetvägg when you eat it with milk I believe. Never tried it myself (am Swedish), but I know some people like that. Semlor on their own are great though, glad you’re enjoying them!

What do you mean by conposable in this context?

Good one

My feeling so far is that there are few meaningful generationalizations that can actually made about the online Linux community. It’s a very diverse set of individuals. To me the gatekeeping elitists seem more like a vocal minority, but I’m sure that varies a lot by distribution and forum.

Guy helped make academic articles and journals available for free to people regardless of their means; guy did the same for public court documents hidden behind a paywall; guy founded a website aimed at keeping track of politicians; guy was involved in several progressive campaigns; guy also helped develop a lot of really cool freely available tech like RSS feeds, the technical architecture for Creative Commons, and the Markdown language. When he was prosecuted for his activism, he eventually rejected a plea bargain for six months when the alternative was 30+ years in prison, and ended up committing suicide.

But yeah, he sure seems like an asshole man who only cared about himself…

While I haven’t read those reviews, I think the implications of Steam removing reviews would be worse, since they would effectively be manipulating the user score of a game. User reviews are just that, user reviews. The score should indicate what users think, whatever their reasons may be for thinking it, no?

I don’t disagree with the rest of what you said though.

I liked it a lot. Watched the longer version of the movie. I’ve heard the theatrical cut was not as good though.

You were also lucky if you lived to thirty

If it’s anything like the original, I am not sure that will solve the specific problem of declining birthrates.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense then. Thanks!

See what I’m still not getting though, is how there can still be unmapped or retired areas, if the drive has been filled with (meaningless) data? Let’s say it isn’t all zeros, but random data instead. Are there more physical blocks than is represented logically by the adress space exposed to the OS?

But if I fill a drive with nonsense data, whether SSD or HDD, shouldn’t it be forced to write such data to all possible locations, thus overwriting the original data? Is am I misunderstanding something more fundamental about how this type of storage works?

I have been trying to understand what it is that makes it impossible to reliably wipe an SSD, compared to an HDD. Why wouldn’t filling the drive with 0s work?

Glad that I recently bought a bunch of storage so that I’ll be covered for a good amount of time.

I mostly agree with you, but I still don’t think it’s “worth the hype” even if you use it responsibly, since the hype is that it is somehow going to replace software devs (and other jobs), which is precisely what it can’t do. If you’re aware enough of its limitations to be using it as a productivity tool, as opposed to treating it as some kind of independent, thinking “expert”, then you’re already recognizing that it does not live up to anywhere near the hype that is being pushed by the big AI companies.

This is really cool of you! I don’t want any of them but wanted to say thanks for being generous 😄

After all the shit I’ve seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

As to whether it’s possible to get certain apps use specific physical RAM sticks, I am not sure, but that seems unlikely and would probably require some very low level modifications to your operating system. But even before you get to that point you’d have to physically connect them to your new motherboard, which will only work if there are both free RAM slots on it, and your new motherboard has slots for the same generation of RAM that your old PC uses.

Just curious, what is the evil monopoly shit you’re referring to? Is it simply the fact they are effectively a monopoly in games distribution, and that in and of itself is bad, or are there more specific practices or actions you’re thinking of?
