I used WSL extensively at a couple of previous jobs. Sometimes IT only gives you the choice of Windows or Mac. I'm quite happy to have a Linux machine at my current job, but WSL has gotten the job done for me when I lacked that option.

Not much to say beyond this episode was amazing. I love how this crew can do it all - lighthearted comedy, to dark, emotional drama. The scars that Ortegas, Chapel, and M'Benga wore in this episode felt real. When Chapel hesitated at knocking the one guy out of the pattern buffer, and M'Benga just cooly smacked the button, it was a clear reminder that war is hell and it breaks people.

Of course not all homeschooling is bad. But these days it does seem that homeschooling tends to skew towards the ultra-conservative MAGA Jesus crowd.

They're also definitely doing some sort of keyword manipulation, cause the official Reddit App is fairly high in the result list when searching for Lemmy.

In the organic results or the paid results? It's pretty common for competitors to buy your name in search term sales.

Does she understand the concept of multiplication though? That's ultimately the important part.

Learning rote things like multiplication tables seems kinda silly in a world where Google can just do the math for you. But the important thing is to be able to recognize when multiplication is useful.

CEOs are the dictators of centralized online communities, and act as such. And it kind of works, just like in real life.

My buddy works there now, as the audiobook company he worked for got acquired by them.

You would be shocked how stupid and manual the content acquisition process is. Book publishers might as well still be operating back in the 90s, it's all phone calls and spreadsheets attached to the emails and manual FTP uploads.

If the music business is anything like the audiobook business they likely need so many non IT just to keep the machine fed with content.

This is a great writeup, but if someone could elaborate on how a piece of content in the Lemmyverse gets into the Mastadon-verse, and how interaction on that piece of content in both -verses is handled across the verses, I would appreciate it.

From what I've seen, it sounds like since everything in the fediverse shares the ActivityPub APIs under the hood, it's possible to share the same piece of content across verses. But I can't wrap my head around how interactions with the content across -verses is possible.

Look, just because it's a PWR, doesn't mean it's a bad design by default.

Fukushima was a Gen II reactor. These new reactors are Westinghouse AP1000's and they're classified as Gen III+. By comparison, Fukushima's reactors are archaic in design.

Gen III+ reactors are smaller, and are greatly simplified designs, and most importantly, have passive cooling features. Passive cooling is what Fukushima didn't have. If the external power gets cut to these new reactors for an extended period of time, AND the backup generators get knocked out too, they can leverage these passive features to cool the reactor and prevent a Fukushima-style event.

Not what you wish to hear, but for web browsing, use Firefox. The Android version still supports plugin like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Ad blockers are effectively dead in Chrome with the advent of manifest v3.

Firefox accounts work very much like your Google account in chrome, so it was relatively straightforward to migrate. Just install firefox on your desktop, get your Mozilla account set up, and use the desktop tools to migrate from chrome to firefox. Then once it's good on your desktop, install firefox on your android devices and sign in to your Mozilla account, everything should sync.

Passwords I'd recommend not using any browser solution and instead use something like bitwarden.

Breaking the Google chains are tedious but doable!

Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn't quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO

This is why I think the best solution is original hardware with flash carts. The correct experience but no clutter.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Watching them blush and be awkward was super cute and now I just want them to figure it out. She's a catch Rutherford, go for it!

Usenet. If only because I don't have access to any good private trackers and the public ones I used to use are dead. And I have access to good enough indexers to get the job done.

With my new setup though I run everything through a VPN tunnel so if I ever found some good trackers again I'd not be against it.

From what I read, the codebase is using Nintendo proprietary sdk libraries in its codebase. So that is technically Nintendo IP. The fix is to switch to open source implementations of those libraries. But the dev is hesitant to put in that work without Valve's approval, because if he does that work Valve can still fuck him over for using their Portal IP, and an n64 game isn't distributable on Steam, so there's literally nothing in it for Valve to bless/support it. So he's worried that all that effort would be for naught. And Nintendo already threatened Valve in the past when Dolphin was attempting to distribute on Steam, and Valve backed down. So the theory is that Valve doesn't want to piss off the big N in any way legally.

Now, we can ask ourselves why almost 30 year old sdks are still valuable to Nintendo, but unfortunately copyright law being what it is, it's technically illegal to do what the dev did. He should have seen this coming and used the open source libraries instead of the Nintendo proprietary ones. But I say this not knowing how good those open source libraries are, they could have problems, be incomplete, etc., or maybe not exist when he started the project. But either way a dev should have known using Nintendo IP in any form is fraught with peril.

I am skeptical of the quality of audio on YouTube. And of full album tracks running together properly.

Am I wrong?

That's a bummer, because from what I see wages do not match SF in SD.

Yes there is evidence. Just a few days ago a third trans candidate in Ohio ran into the same problem and their board of elections overturned the rejection during their appeal.

So this year you've had 3 trans candidates with the same problem. 2 upheld and 1 overturned during the appeals process.

TOS is old school episodic tv. Every episode is pretty much an independent story. You definitely do not have to watch it in order.

I'd at least watch Space Seed so you can get the origin story of Khan.
