Hey I’m sure he’s better than genghis khan too. But the notion of an NPP when he spouts this fascist ethnic cleansing horseshit makes me want to fucking vomit. “Poor record”, yeah and Ted Bundy had a bad dating history.

“resolve the genocide in Palestine”. Are you talking about his plan to mass deport Palestinians and build resorts on their land? Kind of like answering the “Jewish Question” was for the Nazis.

Like, where exactly is the revenue stream there? I’m on peertube and that isn’t paying off for me yet lol

Kind of think his talents are wasted on this creaky old franchise.

I’ve been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

paying for a one page ad in a newspaper is not the same as “paying for a protest”.

I paid money to buy posterboard and magic markers to make a sign. Does that mean the “protests was paid” by me?

Uncle Dave Macon says keep my skillet good and greasy all the time

when someone tailgates me, I slow down.

Well-cured wood can help. Guitars built with green wood will crack easily.

Plywood guitars are tough - my resonator guitars are impervious to dryness, and they’re made of plywood basically.

The other thing that might explain it is survivor’s bias - the guitars on the wall at the pub or in a mountain cabin either survive, or they crack and die. We see the ones that made it. Same thing with 200 year old parlor guitars - they are survivors.

Well if you subject your guitar to humidity fluctuations, it may well crack. Many do. My guild had a crack when I bought it, and when I moved to colorado it developed another. I have another guitar that has survived lots of changes in humidity and severe dryness without cracking. Maybe the wood was cured better, or I just got lucky.

I keep my nice martin humidified to ~47% all the time. Maybe it would survive dryness, but I don’t want to take the chance. When they dry out it changes the way they play, being humidified properly helps keep the action consistent as well as protecting it against cracks.

documentary is “The Pulitzer Prizes: a Legacy of Excellence”

yeah read that Caddyshack was made in florida instead of california because they didn’t want the studios breathing down their necks.

that’s pretty much a whole manga subgenre now

plateaued since when? if you look at the second half of the graph, 2022 forward, it looks more steep to me.

I take it ‘geometric mean’ is the geometric mean of ‘statcounter’ and ‘steam’? What’s the specific source of those latter two measures? For instance, when I look at linux usage on the statcounter website I get more like 1.5%, not 4%.

yeah I’ve gotten android to work but its been a journey. still feels a little underdocumented and bleeding edge, but then again got it working finally. look to the examples and not the docs IMO

If you only will use what’s in the standard tauri js api, or in the standard plugins, then technically you don’t need rust. But yeah I think if you wrote a bunch of apps in it you’d inevitably want to make your own plugins or backend code, and then you’d need rust.

Depends. I made one in tauri and it was a good fit because I already had a web frontend and rust backend. I was able to reuse both of those with minor changes, now the same code builds the app and the web server/frontend.

I’d probably go native if:

• you’re only developing for android and don’t care about desktop/ios/etc…
• UI performance is really important, like for a game
• You want to minimize app size
• You aren’t skilled at web front end development

With tauri, if you need phone apis that aren’t in the toolkit already you’re going to jump through some hoops going from javascript to rust to kotlin and back again. Its a significant barrier, you’re handling serialization/deserialization of function arguments/results in 3 different languages.

they only offer the one laptop, a T480. Not an HP, Dell, etc. Ongoing fixes to the UEFI and BIOS code are irrelevant as this has libreboot instead. That’s like saying you’re missing out on windows updates if you run linux.

And anyway the T480 is at end of life:

This product is no longer being actively supported by development (End of Development Support) and no further software updates will be provided.

When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.

I’ve had good luck with an X201, W520, and T480 - all thinkpads. Haven’t tried any of the lower end lenovo models. I got my W520 new and my other ones off craigslist.

If you’re looking to get a preinstalled OS and from a refurb vendor, an interesting option would be buying from libreboot. Debian/KDE by default or you can choose your own distro. Libreboot is a good cause, and sales funds the project. You’ll have the most secure bios on the block.
