It’s not an insertable toy, it’s just a novelty vibrator.

How do you know someone’s a tankie? don’t worry, they’ll tell you…

… What??

All of them.

Win10 LTSC-E is pretty great. Shame you can’t use it without a large scale government contract…

This absolute bastard said he would give a rune platebody to the person that traded him the highest value item as a sign of trust… lost a DDP++ to that jerk.

Which sounds like a joke, but that was a real eye-opening experience for 8 year old me. Enough that 20+ years later I still reflect on it on an almost daily basis, to remind myself that if something seems like a bleedingly obvious scam it invariably is.

Discord is built on Chromium, which is the main concern I have heard. I’ve yet to see any evidence that they’re mining user data, which is a valid concern. They’ve done a shockingly good job of funding themselves without selling user info thus far.

Because having an active community on github or a forum is a very different feeling to having one on IRC or discord. They’re entirely different tools. IRC-style communities have always been more active than github, discord is just the latest iteration of that concept.

Hosting documentation or issue tracking on discord, though, I hate that. For tech support its… fine, for getting informal feedback or engaging with users its great. Anything archival its a goddamn crime.

The worst is when people try to use discords forum features, which are the worst of all possible worlds…

Oh damn, thats cool! Never heard about that before.

I’m unfamiliar with Directional Chat outside of things like VRchat, how that work if you’re not manipulating your position in space relative to other users?

Yes, though I think the point here is that solar spectacularly loses on MW/SF compared to a nuclear facility. Data centers consume an unbelieveable amount of power. Being able to locate them closer to population centers is a huge benefit to them operationally. Modern nuclear reactors are hugely expensive, but the proposal here is for small, limited scope facilities. Expensive, yes, but this is an excellent use case for them and would do wonders at piloting their broader acceptance / proven tech.

Are there flaws? Plenty. But at its core it’s not a bad idea.

Putting aside the jokes, this is a pretty good idea. Dedicated renewable energy sources for data centers have some real problems (expansion, power transmission, land use in areas ideal for data centers, peak loads for data centers out of synch with, blahblahblah etc). With nobody anticipating the demand for data services will suddenly stop growing exponentially, because that would be silly, this is a prudent step forwards. I think we ca all agree that reducing the operating costs, reducing the strain on local power grids and furthering societal acceptance of modern small-scale nuclear power plants are all pretty valuable ideas.

(and for what its worth, Microsoft contracts with NIF - they’re already involved with the design of nuclear weapons, a thorium reactor (which would be DOE managed anyways) is a bit less concerning)

Samsungs hardware is pretty nice, but only when its running LineageOS or similar. Man their ux is awful.

At least around here, the wheel locks are activated by a big antenna loop around (usually) the parking lot, to prevent them from being rolled off by homeless people. Unfortunately they also fail “safe”, so when the locking gizmo’s batteries run dry they lock the wheels. You may have just been the lucky winner of it locking itself at coincidentally the worst moment! Don’t you feel special!

Never really watched racing, have you…

Discord is the same thing as technical slack threads, or IRC chat. People try and use it as a reddit replacement when it really truly is not.

Man, you weren’t kidding. Their strongest argument was that valve can run steam for essentially free, which is just fucking ridiculous. Valve defined content service in the 21st century, they paved the way for streaming and netflix. How anyone that is arguing in good faith can think reliably serving data thats 10x-100x larger than a Netflix stream is ‘basically free’ is unbelievable.

Also, it is not “pulling out all the stops” to drag out an international business court case if that case took eighteen months. I’ve seen international filings where you havent even gotten a hearing date after 18 months, what in the hell is the author smoking…

Oh stop it, you’re more than intelligent enough to understand the difference between constitutional free speech and forum discourse.

We know, look up IBM in WWII for some early examples. We give humanity incredible advances and predictably all humanity does with it is tits, bread and circuses.

What in the good goddamn does that headline mean. I’m not old enough to be this baffled.
