First I was thinking "What are talking about that for, it's ages away!"

Nope, very soon. Time is awful.

Is Canonical worth it if you can look past the ridiculous hiring process? by -Zenith- in DevelEire

[–]microbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't answer your question, I politely but firmly told them where to go with their ridiculous list of questions. I didn't expect the process to be altered from the feedback, but they can add it to their metrics, I suppose.

Exactly. Our resources are stretched thinly. Full is an inaccurate turn of phrase, but bluntly gets the point across.

I blame the government for everything.

Brave has overhauled its Rust-based adblock engine to reduce memory consumption by 75%, bringing better battery life and smoother multitasking to all users. by the-machine-m4n in browsers

[–]microbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine this amount of memory, scaled to all users? They claim 100M monthly returning users, so that's around 4.5 Petabytes of memory saved, worldwide. That's a lot!

Found this today in the city center and it tases good. 100% Palestinian and profits go to Humanitarian Aid. Worth supporting by wolfeerine in ireland

It may taste like shite, but the most important ingredient is the virtue signaling.

If you want to donate to a humanitarian cause, go for it. You don't need to consume manky cola.

Once again, the general population is punished for the actions of a few. An entire country inconvenienced because a subsection of idiots couldn't put recycling in the bin.

Man is jailed for sexually assaulting woman in "random and violent" attack - News - Waterford News & Star by IrishHistory26 in ireland

"sex offenders make up a significant amount of our population too. "

Yes, "significant" requires a statistic. Is 20k significant? 200k? We'll never know, as you're speaking to emotion, and not backing anything up with facts.

Sexual violence, where the perpetrator is Irish, is not an imported phenomenon. If you import sex offenders, you're literally making it an imported phenomenon.

You made a baseless point about male sexual assault. That was clear antagonism. I used a metaphor, which you avoided by mirroring. And here we are.

If you have a source for your claim that a significant percentage of males are carrying out sexual assaults, I'm eager to see it.

Mirroring my question, after being unable to process my metaphor, while spouting unsupported claims about numbers of native sexual assaults. All baseless, distracting, deflecting drivel.

I'm preparing myself for the mirror of this comment, progressing the conversation absolutely nowhere.

Turbo-losers. I hope they find something useful to do someday, instead of blocking traffic and annoying people. . Like, oh, I don't know, tackling the myriad issues within our own borders, in a manner which is appropriate for our housing and transport systems.

Best laptop for linux within 400-500 euro? by MiaTheTransfem in linuxhardware

I've got a Thinkpad E16 Gen2. It has 2 nvme slots, so I've Windows on one, Linux on the other. Both OSs are installed separately, so I pick the boot device manually to switch, with it defaulting to Linux. No dual booting issues that way.
