A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn’t even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me
When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:
9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?
Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like … 30€? And I was able to do it myself.
Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!
I mean, probably not equally but isn’t it sort of true?
Wait, oh no. No, no no no no no Lemmy no! I can explain! No! Don’t hurt downvote me!
Hi, first of all sorry for all the downvotes and people not telling you why - c/asklemmy is meant for more generic, openended questions. If you need help, then try one of the programming communities or maybe stackoverflow.com. Not sure how many such communities we have on Lemmy but I’m sure we can find some
Edit - to people downvoting, don’t be dicks, we aren’t on reddit anymore 🙂 We’re relatively small group of people here, try to be helpful instead and suggest the right communities 👍
Counted calories, ate less, reduced sugar, flour and potato consumption. No exercise.
Exercising has a lot of health benefits and helps with loosing weight but food consumption is the most important.
Eventually I started running but this was after I lost weight. If exercising demotivates you, don’t force it
AI generation can be used for disinformation which can literally destabilize or right away end the world as we know it.
But fake Taylor Swift pictures, this is where we draw the line …
Can someone list those piracy subscription services so we can avoid them as responsible citizens?
I mean Notepad++ is like a monument to Microsoft incompetence and them not caring about technically minded people for decades. Where a single guy beats trillion dollar company’s ass, actually not just beats, absolutely destroys big time. And they were either not able or didn’t care with responding and providing some power text editor. The fact that their OS was able to acquire any significant market share in developer’s community is an ultimate triumph of marketing department
That’s ok u/TacoButtPlug
I’d see 2 reasons:
But to put it simply - they don’t die because they don’t have to. There is no single company that would pull the plug. By it’s design, they can coexist in our world and no one can stop it, doesn’t matter if people use it or not
It’s like a torrent with millions of seeders. As long as there is at least one seeder, the torrent will exist even if the files it contains aren’t really useful
I was very sceptical towards the recent hypes (space exploration, cryptocurencies, self driving cars, …) which turned out to be fads but this time … this time I’m going to guess it isn’t going to be a fad. Well it depends what we imagine by “AI” - will you have a robot pal like in movie I Robot or AI Artificial Intelligence? Probably not. Will AI predictions and learning be put into majority of programms and quite clever AI voice-assistants will appear like in movie Her? Yeah, I guess this could happen. My main reasons are:
My problem is that there is very limited amount of such people :/ People either don’t or can’t play chess or are really into it.
And of course there is always this one guy/gal who’s like “Let’s play, you’ll probably beat me because I’m really rookie el oh el. Yeah I’m in local chess club but there are much better players than me. It’s true that this one time I finished second in that chess championship but …”
I’m into genealogy so my idea always was that before I go, I’d like to left something about me on some genealogy website like familysearch.org . Now bear in mind that the website is owned by some Mormon church but it’s huge. Afaik you can put quite a lot in there (not just birth date) although I personally never executed my plan of putting that much info in there (I’m a bit afraid that my info will be missused or cause problems for me or my children but once I’m gone it won’t matter that much). I don’t know if it’s right for you but there is this option. Maybe someone somewhere will make a family tree and say, hey, there was this distant relative of mine and this is their story
Of course they will! This is the sad, sad reality of todays internet - the power is so centralized in the hands of like 4 companies, that every business basically can’t ignore them. Like you can but by that you’re just hurting yourself from the business point of view. Elon Musk can literally say Fuck You to advertisers and they still need to advertise there. This is just crazy. On nation level the anti-monopoly bureau would take action but we don’t have world wide anti-monopoly bureau.
That’s why when people tell me “Oh, Elon Musk just bankrupted Twitter” I say “Did he?”. At this point I believe he can do anything he wants, he can murder like dozen people, blow up the headquartes or start selling drugs to children and Twitter would still be fine
I had similar netbook like OP and was running Lubuntu for a very long time but afaik they dropped support for 32 bit architectures some time ago. I think 18.04 was the last 32 bit LTS? Not sure, I’d need to check it
Looking at your history, you really hate Ubuntu u/RmDebArc_5, don’t you?
Yeah I’m with you. In my case I can’t get around the cinamon gui which … reminds me of Windows 98, sorry :(
(yes, I know, calm down, I know I can install whichever interface I want but from my experience it just causes problems and at that point I might aswell just switch the distro)
So true, put this on a tea cup!
