That’s kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.

No. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.

Yeah, I tried to steer clear commenting on whatever people choose to follow politically or socially. It is a highly curated echo-chamber, is my point. (Most social media rabbit holes are echo-chambers, but ml wins awards for that.)

Just ignore ml. If you got banned for not knowing their version of whatever, you probably are just going to get banned again later.

For once, I am not knocking on ml for being ml, it’s just a very odd instance when it comes to social interaction. You must subscribe to the hive mind 100% … or else.

Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)

Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.

I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)

I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.

I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

Please don’t teach kids to insert all-caps words into their sentences. If you need to emphasize a word on the Internet, you can italicize.

The highest estimate I could find was 167k KIA for Ukraine which aligns with other estimates of 500k total casualties. 1:3 is a fairly standard KIA/casualties estimate for many conflicts.

Ukraine is notoriously tight-lipped about their casualty counts though. As with any conflict, expect inflated/deflated estimates depending on who is stating them.

It’s within reason for a 1:3 (up to about 1:5) Ukranian/Russian casualty comparison, given the difference in tactics between the two sides. (Agree or not, Russia historically uses scorched earth and mass to fight wars.)

Unfortunately, you can get high/low estimates from all over the place. The actual numbers may never be known or not known for years after the conflict is over. Orgs that do verified tracking are generally very low with their numbers.

That is a shit way to normalize numbers like that, but averaging out all “officially” reported data and jamming them against rough ratios is all we really have.

(Edit: A recent escalation in Russian casualties is plausible as their access to new/replacement equipment has been reduced significantly. Dig a little into sources that scour satellite photos of tank depots or how sanctions are affecting manufacturing for more info. It’s a deep rabbit hole, but data is out there.)

You can interpret anything how you choose, kind of like we have to do with your grammar.

You are missing my point, but I also wasn’t clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.

I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don’t actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It’s could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.

OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn’t really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform “content”.

Something similar has been done before and it was really easy to spot. I won’t get into the details, but it was really trashy. There are other communities that try to copy Reddit already and I block most of them.

Communities driven by one persons posts or by a cluster of bots generally suck. Yes, communities must start with only one person, but if nobody else likes the idea and the community doesn’t drive participation from Lemmy as a whole, it’s simply noise.

Post content that you like, in communities that matter to you. If you like a particular strain of content, start a new community. People will join or they won’t. Read the room and continue driving the community, or don’t.

Automated posts have their place, but most people can spot it fairly quick. It generally doesn’t drive participation as much as organic posts.

Bluntly though, if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit. Lemmy isn’t Reddit and that is what people generally like about it.

We expect to see Wi-Fi devices able to detect the distance to other devices that are nearby, not only the distance, but what is the direction to those devices, with the ability to become a sensor to detect distance, to detect the presence of people, to detect gestures," Cordeiro claimed.

“Essentially what we are doing is that we’re going to be able to make devices be context aware, aware of their surroundings, and that’s going to enable and open up the ability for new applications to be developed,” he added.

Yay. Granular tracking. Exactly what we were asking for with a WIFI protocol.

The ones I have been in do. Dunno if it is a standard feature though.

I have one highschool GPA.

So they basically just copied .ml…

The rumor is that he does not: https://www.businessinsider.com/vladimir-putin-never-uses-cellphone-internet-russian-defector-says-2023-4

Have you actually seen the quantity of misinformation that gets pumped out of the Kremlin? So yeah, there are plenty of Russian trolls that use the open interwebs.

Except for their search engine. It’s completely unusable.

Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.

Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)

(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, but rarher more of a “spread the love” vibe.
