I switched my 32 GB desktop from Windows to Linux and, honestly, 32 GB is probably a waste for most users. I'm using 7/32 GB's and I'm actively:

• Browsing the web (Firefox with 7 tabs open)
• Messaging (Signal messenger desktop)
• Editing an image (Gimp)
• Editing a video (Kdenlive; and granted its a small project)
• Email client running (Thunderbird)
• Word processor (LibreOffice Writer, just noticed I have it running for no reason)
• Listening to music (Gelly)
• Bitwarden running in the background
• VPN client
• qBittorent with 3 active... Linux ISO's

I just launched Steam and RAM went up to 8 GB's, which is a fraction of what Windows uses while doing nothing. I can only see myself needing the extra overhead when running VM's which I don't see a lot of people wanting to do on a device aimed at gaming.

what a piece of shit state

I'm not even a hug Valve fan, but happy to support them for all the work they've done to bring Linux gaming to the masses. I can play most my games without issue on Debian, happy to keep throwing money at them and kick windows to the curb.

Switch to a non-enshittified alternative, if you can:

• LibreOffice: MS Office suite alternative.
• CryptPad: Google Docs alternative, end-to-end encrypted, self-hostable, collaborative, and federated.
• OnlyOffice: Another MS Office suite alternative.

Basically this.

Any browser that leverages Google's Chromium project is enabling Google to continue to drive the web. Alternative browsers, first and foremost, must not be built using Chromium.

I keep hearing this and the opposite

Any sources I can read?

Nowhere in that article does it state or even hint that ICE vehicles pollute less or are more efficient than EV's or even PHEV's. If I missed something, feel free to link directly to the line/paragraph, by selecting the text and clicking "Copy link to highlight": Example:

In most locations, BEVs save 40%–60% of emissions compared to ICEVs, though these values can vary substantially at the extremes (0–4700 kgCO2eq yr−1 or 0%–82%).

Can we at least agree, whether he's doing it for the right or wrong reasons, that this is a good thing and backed by research?

Jonathan Ross. Don't let the world forget that Jonathan Ross murdered an innocent woman.

Yeah this is just manufacturers self rating themselves. This is just like VW cars rating themselves as getting 5-10mpg better than their competitors, when really they were just measuring from the balls.

The up side is if they fail to meet those ratings then are the consumers entitled to some sort of compensation?

Btw, I love how Piefed shows comments from cross-posts. Every client should do it, helps make the fediverse feel bigger and more diverse.

some people in here are apparently perfect and don't believe others can grow and learn from their mistakes. what a childish self-centered perspective.

so many better Google alternatives out there:

a steal if you consider tomorrow's prices

Because its always appropriate to remind the world what these cretins look like without filters:

if they want to censor and monitor the internet, its time to start building on a new one that's private and encrypted by default: https://reticulum.network/

It may not be common, but it does happen:

• My descent into America's neo-Nazi movement & how I got out | Christian Picciolini | TEDxMileHigh
• Reformed racist expresses regret for previous life with KKK
• My Life Inside A Neo-Nazi Group

for all the hate the guy gets, I do appreciate that he's at least taking a science-based approach and publishes what works/doesn't. The core building blocks he continually pushes people to follow are the basics we already know: good sleep, food and exercise.

Outside of the common sense he's tried various protocols and only continues them if the biomarkers they're tracking show some kind of improvement. He's spending his millions to test things and publish data for us to use, I don't see any harm in that. He's even published basic meals (Super Veggie) that anyone can make to ensure they're eating healthy and getting the most bang for their buck (nutrient to caloric content ratio).

it's called Luanti now: https://www.luanti.org/

Don't forget to install the Mineclonia mod which makes it basically a Minecraft clone https://content.luanti.org/...

ACKSHUALLY back in their day they just got paid significantly more. Minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation and median pay hasn't increased with productivity for the last 40 years.

This is a tragedy, and unfortunately the general sentiment I've seen online from trumpers is that "this is not natural" and "this was an intentional geoengineering attack by the democrats". MTG has already introduced a bill that:

prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.

This is the worst timeline.
