Yeah, nobody could see this coming from a mile away…nobody! /s
These ‘carbon sinks’ that have all sprung up basically overnight are all a bunch of bullshit. They’re going to give everyone sparkling groundwater, and trade off the ‘carbon credits’ for real money, and nobody is ever going to question it.
Nothing I am saying is even close to the term Newspeak. Newspeak is controlled language, simplified grammar, and limited vocabulary designed to limit a persons ability for critical thinking.
But I’m not limiting your ability to think critically, I’m trying to expand it. Yet, not only are you failing to think more critically here, you’re actively avoiding it by tossing out accusations and making jokes. Likely because you’ve already decided that you’re “right” (whatever the fuck THAT is in this context, since we agree) and that you’re going to fight whatever you’re perceiving as an…attack?
In short - yes, it would informally be a declaration of war - because they don’t call it that now. I’m just pointing out the second half is all.
No idea why you’re so combative. We’re largely on the same page here. I’m describing the nuances of the situation, not arguing with you. It’s not war in a technical sense. There are reasons why it’s not considered war, and nobody really wants it to be defined as a “war” either. But is it war? Well, yeah…kinda. Just not in the general sense of the word, and without all of the baggage that comes along with it being a formal “war”.
It’s like asking is the sky blue.
Unintelligent people say: Yes.
Intelligent people might say: Yes, well - most of the time. Occasionally it can be oranges, reds, etc depending on the angle of incidence of light, cloud cover, etc. And the blue color is more due to Reyleigh Scattering of the incoming full spectrum light rather than the actual sky itself being blue; technically it’s clear.
It’s not war unless congress declares it.

The last war we had was WWII. War includes suspension of constitutional rights, along with a mass of other bullshit. You do NOT want them actually declaring war.
Nah, nations don’t do “war” any longer. They call it something else so that they don’t have to abide by the rules we’ve all agreed to when going to war. Now they’re “operations”.
Netanyahu would probably rather his people be actually hurt, so that it could bolster popularity of ongoing war.
When nothing happens, and security manages to intercept these things - people start questioning if they’re actually in any kind of danger. Occasionally leaders have allowed things to happen to their citizens, in order to garner acceptance for going to war.
I don’t use Publisher, I used Affinity photo and it didn’t give me any problems - I assumed it was the same for the rest of their stuff, but maybe I was mistaken.
Just use Krita or the Affinity line of software (works under WINE pretty much flawlessly).
Not dense enough. I stick to old.lemmy.world even with all its bugs.
On the computer that still recognizes it, get all of your data off of it NOW. Now is one of those times where you need to do a full and complete backup before proceeding.
Drivers are not going to affect something in this manner.
You have a failing drive, and something in your friends computer (a stronger 3v3 Line, etc) is causing it to be able to attach. Do not trust this drive for anything important any longer. Get everything off of it immediately.
In fact, prioritize your data extraction. Start with the most important things to you; because the drive could die at any moment. It could also die 2 years from now. But this is almost surely signs of a hardware failure, and you need to warranty it as soon as you get your data off.
It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.
The term would be a Duopoly.
Go download MythTV yourself. Shit’s been available for decades. I used to use it with a capture card to timeshift/DVR cable television. The source is me. I used it. It was great. It auto-removed TV ads when it recorded your shows.

Get the ones with the strip LEDs that look like they’re trying to emulate a glowing tungsten filament. I can’t remember where I got the information; it was like the Technology Connections YouTube channel or something, but I remember them saying that since they put the LED lights in series on those bulbs, they have a much higher voltage requirement to drive them, and much less circuitry is needed. It’s the circuitry that burns out, and many of these filament-style LED lights literally only have a resistor as their main component.
I’ve swapped to these kinds of LEDs like…5 years ago, and haven’t had one burn out yet. Probably have like…15 of them across the entire house.

MythTV solved this long ago. We already have the tech to bypass this shit.
That way, if the VPN goes down, your torrent client isn’t just downloading stuff nakedly.
You always just bind the torrent client to the VPN adapter so this doesn’t happen. Most modern clients have this (qBittorrent certainly does)
Everyone always whines about anything Mozilla does with Firefox. These additions are at least much less intrusive than their addition of Pocket.
I mean, the mermaid is missing the part I like the most…
Science should strive to be separate from society. The purest idea of science is that it is simply the true observational facts about the world. Testable, and reproducible by others. We shouldn’t strive to include more emotions in scientific discovery, we should strive to exclude it. Science isn’t a religion. It doesn’t require ‘belief’ or anything of the sort. It is simply discovery, and it should remain that way.
