My go to response to that question is, “Because you thought I was Brad Pitt and you wanted my autograph? I know, I get it a lot.” I look nothing like Brad Pitt.

open the terminal and type pavucontrol and see what that looks like. Is it also showing that, or are you just seeing 2 in your DE sounds or something?

That’s why companies are pushing them imo. They want people to buy phones more often and these things break more often.

Not the person you asked but yes actually. I never want more screen on my phone. I barely use it. I have the Pixel because it can run Graphene OS, and I want that, but if I could run Graphene on it I’d want something smaller. It’s so annoying to carry the thing around. I use my phone to test and call people. And to use organic maps and gps to tell me when my next turn is. Basically nothing else. Altho if people want to use their phone as their everything device then they’re free to I guess. Just not for me. So I’d never want a folding one.

they make those

Idk. Anyone else been around who might have seen it? Because that stuff is well known to be expensive now. And someone might have snagged it.

I remember being like 8 or something and having the scouts come into my school and try to recruit people and they brought some older boys I think maybe middle school aged? Perceptions of age are weird when ur a kid. They seemed old to me at the time. One of the older boys would NOT leave me alone. Like he really wanted me to join. And so my pathalogical demand avoidance kicked in and I wouldn’t touch the organization with a 10 foot pole for the rest of my life. Guess that worked out for me considering what I’ve heard since.

I see none of these are very active. I wonder why that is? Maybe if we made one that was very permissive more people would post there? Like a “TechShowcase” one. Since people on Lemmy are less populated and we’d need it to be open to more people so it doesn’t die. Just a comm for anyone who wants to show off some cool thing they did or found online.

All of that stuff. Basically anything someone does with Linux that is cool and they want to show off.

Touche

Huh. I was expecting… something else to be your biggest vice.

Why do you think he went to war with Iran? US oil companies sure aren’t complaining right now. THey need over 62$ a barrel to break even. Before the war it was like 70$ish a barrel. Barely making a profit. As for nuclear progress the US won’t be a leader in that going forward. It hasn’t even moved past uranium steam reactors. China is out here building Thorium Molten Salt reactors. They even have plans to put one in a cargo ship. Combined with their solar and wind production they’re the only hope humanity has to stop climate change.

Look into what China is doing with Thorium Molten Salt Reactors. That’s the future of nuclear.

AI could never

Which is exactly why western AI companies are bankrupting themselves building data centers while China is easily keeping pace with a fraction of the resources. They’re not magic. They just do basic things like make things more efficient.

During this time, the town’s population grew by about 200 people (about 20%); nearly all of the newcomers were men

My favorite quote from that article lol

Does anyone else remember that libertarian run town in I think Maine or something where it became a total disaster because bears were everywhere?

I actually think the clearnet will just cease to exist. It will segment so that every country/jurisdiction has its own version of it. And then you’ll have the like singularly controlled corporate ecosystems like how so many people just think Facebook is the internet.

An AI would spend more in compute hacking my bank account then it would get from draining it.

You should look up Edison Bulb LEDs. You can basically get the same lighting from an LED you’d get from incandescent. You want warm ones. Yellow lighting.
