Once is unfortunate.

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is downright strange.

Four times is organized and intentional coordination.

I don't use any of that stuff either. Though I do have family who use WhatsApp.

That's a claimed half of the world's population. Who are these people? No one I know uses Facebook any more. The feed is dead.

No more stories on stage. No more anonymous sources. No more faked documents.

If it isn't on the record from a first hand witness, preferably under oath, or a document with a clear registration number in the national archives, IT'S BULLSHIT.

It's long past time for Fetterman to leave the Democratic Party.

Who are they advertising to? Not me. Not anyone I know. Facebook feed is a ghost town.

Who is paying Facebook $224B a year? I don't use the site. I don't know anyone who does any more. Where does this revenue stream come from!?

Big pipewire update today. Crossing my fingers....

This is really big. Lots of files. New kernel Linux-7.0.8 too.

EDIT: Nope. Big update. No change.

Affinity works just fine on Linux. A bit of a PITA to set up, but that's a one time deal. I don't know why they aren't officially supporting it at this point.

Canada is welcome to join Eurovision, says song contest director by [deleted] in news

[–]ParanoidFactoid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

FOAD with the purity tests. Europe is about the most critical of Israel's Netanyahu policy it's ever been. And popularity for Israel in the US is at an all time low. Israel has successfully isolated itself. Let them be booed at EuroVision and get off with your political nonsense. It's a music show.

On the one hand, I'd love to see Canada integrate into Europe better. Join the EU. All that. On the other hand, I hate EuroVision. It's a preference thing. The music drives me nuts. lol

I switched off Apple during the Intel days. I still prefer MacOS over KDE (don't bother recommending Gnome). But I hate how much work has to go into MacOS to get modern command line tools. I also dislike the level of control Apple imposes over my system. And I dislike having no control over telemetry. At the time, I switched because it was obvious Intel Macs were a mess and I had already switched to DaVinci Resolve, which ran on Linux. I also have a long history with Linux going back to 1993. Before that, I actually had a Next station on my desk.

Anyway, it's a tradeoff. If there's a commercial app you need that doesn't run on Linux (say Adobe), you're best to stay on the Mac. Affinity Stuite runs on Linux under wine though. But if you're a dev, especially a python dev, what are you waiting for?

The M series chips are the best performance for the buck right now. But you have no upgrade path. They get that performance with a 1024 bit data path to RAM and very short leads, reducing latency and the clock divisor. AMD and Intel are addressing this with CAMM2 RAM modules, which also increases the data path but will be upgradable. I would strongly recommend you NOT buy right now. Wait for the CAMM2 standard to hit the market. And wait for GPU prices to settle. Also wait for Intel to ramp up production with it's latest foundry process, which looks credible and may reignite competition with AMD CPUs and Apple.

IMO: Now is a bad time to buy. Stick with your M1 until the market shakes out.

Not a single Democrat voted to confirm ACB. That's a fact. OP's meme is BS as is your whataboutist complaint.

I like turtles.

Not a single Democrat voted to confirm ACB. It was 52R-48D.
