If it’s anything like the original, I am not sure that will solve the specific problem of declining birthrates.

Glad that I recently bought a bunch of storage so that I’ll be covered for a good amount of time.

This is really cool of you! I don’t want any of them but wanted to say thanks for being generous 😄

After all the shit I’ve seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

As to whether it’s possible to get certain apps use specific physical RAM sticks, I am not sure, but that seems unlikely and would probably require some very low level modifications to your operating system. But even before you get to that point you’d have to physically connect them to your new motherboard, which will only work if there are both free RAM slots on it, and your new motherboard has slots for the same generation of RAM that your old PC uses.

Just curious, what is the evil monopoly shit you’re referring to? Is it simply the fact they are effectively a monopoly in games distribution, and that in and of itself is bad, or are there more specific practices or actions you’re thinking of?

Small room with enough desks for just the immediate team and plenty of space in the desks would be my dream. Maybe a whiteboard or two. That would be excellent.

Sure would rather have one of those than the open office landscape I have now.

Outside of work: Both. I want people to think I look good in the clothes I wear, but even if they don’t I am probably not going to change them. At work: We have a dress code. I follow it to the letter, because I think it makes a positive difference in how I am perceived by my employer. I almost completely disregard my own preferences in this context.

But if you just run it locally an a media server in your home, and you don’t expose the service to the internet, that doesn’t really matter? Though perhaps more people connect to their Jellyfin instances remotely than I realize.

We probably live in different countries, but where I live it’s more like you can’t get pre-approved for anything unless you either have a large amount of money saved up, or your salary is high enough that it’s far beyond what you would reasonably need to get paid to afford the mortgage.

Glad he ignored the negativity and succeeded. Personally I don’t see the appeal of this type of game though. But, different strokes and all that.

Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they’re famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

If Miss Information gets married, does she become Mrs Information?

On the one hand, sucks that a leak like this even happens anymore, no one deserves to be doxxed like that. On the other hand, I struggle to feel bad for the users of the doxxing app getting doxxed in return…

Not a woman but- No that actually makes a lot of sense :)

I’m from neither the US nor Canada, and in my case it certainly isn’t a matter of projection. I’m sure things have been getting a lot better for many people in China. However, it is still the case that China has a lot of human rights issues which are simply not as widespread in a lot of Western countries, the US included. And due to nation wide systems, such as hukou, it is very difficult for the population in poorer, rural areas to work legally in more affluent areas where the pay is higher. My understanding is that this has led to large scale “illegal migration” within the country’s borders, where workers are paid far less (sometimes not getting paid at all), work under poor conditions, and suffer abuses at the hands of their employers with little to no legal recourse due to their illegal status. China is a very inequitable society, and a lot of the misery that its less rich and powerful citizens have to deal with goes unnoticed by the rest of the world (and indeed the rest of its population), because we see stuff like this and are impressed by China’s progress. And no doubt that there’s actually been progress in a lot of areas, but the somewhat tired “at what cost?” question is still as pertinent as ever.

None of this is a defense of the US or Canada. Just saying that for the average person, China is probably a worse place to live and to work in.

Tbf South Korea has plenty of economic, demographic, and social problems as well. Still miles better than North, but saying that only the North doesn’t work is not really accurate.

What’s up with all the China hype on Lemmy? These projects are impressive, no doubt, but their cost in terms of human rights violations are pretty high. I’m speaking generally, I don’t have the specifics with regards to this subway system. Either way it’s not really comparable to a project like this in a country like Canada imo.

I think I will switch to Linux, possibly dual boot with Win 11 just in case there are games I can’t play on Linux.
