There have been some news pieces put out, but most importantly

… the Physicians Committee (PCRM) said records it obtained for the 23 monkeys used in the experiments reflect a “pattern of extreme suffering and staff negligence.” The committee said that the letter to the USDA is based on nearly 600 pages of what it calls “disturbing” documents released after the committee filed an initial public records lawsuit in 2021.

Now, CNN did link to Nueralink’s site, but not to PCRM. That, to me, says a lot about who you they’re supporting.

If you want to read PCRMs report, it’s here. Because reading the sources is always a good idea.

Not really. After working with CentOS (RIP) for a half decade, that Firefox version was so out of date I was practically in diapers when it came out. Getting the latest version of Firefox was such a pain that my org didn’t bother even if it would have given us some niceties.

LTS and other “enterprise” distros don’t push the latest version precisely because of dependencies.

Backup cameras, at least in the US, are a legally mandated feature. Cars cannot come without them.

If anyone ever tries to sell you a car based on ‘it has a backup camera!’, be very skeptical of what else they’re trying to upsell you on that’s legally required.

Yes, the problem is production capacity, but it’s very difficult to get that capacity up and running. For example, Intel started building 2 factories in Ohio last year. They won’t be up and running until at least 2025.

This stuff is complicated and nobody predicted the rise of covid, crypto currencies, or AI, or if they did nobody was convinced enough to dedicate potential billions of dollars to building capacity to capitalize on it.

i mean, 5 to 10 megabyte (40-80 Mbps) is better definitely. 25 Mbps is absolutely terrible for my partner and I if they’re watching a show and I’m trying to game.

You gotta link, brah?

Community can’t grow if you don’t tell people where to go.

YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...

For right now, I believe there is no way to move a user account so you will need to create a new one. Can be the same name, tho!

I believe there is a feature in the works to be able to move accounts between instances but I am unsure of where in the development pipeline it is.

Not really - it only matters if the instance where you have your account (e.g. lemmy.world, in your case) is not federated with another instance (e.g., beehaw.org).

As long as your instances are federated, you’ll be able to see everything on the other instance and vice versa.

There are weird states, such as instance A being federated to instance B but B not being federated to A. This means that users on A can see, comment, and (potentially? I think?) create posts for communities on B but no other instance (B, C, or otherwise) can see those comments/posts.

That is so much more elegant than I put it lol thank you!

At what point do people start protesting?

Also, in what world is ‘modify’ not an equivalent word to ‘transform’? The literal DEFINITION is “verb. [‘ˈmɑːdəˌfaɪ’] cause to change; make different; cause a transformation.”

… feel that much of the anger from our recent decision around the downstream sources comes from either those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL or those who want to repackage it for their own profit. This demand for RHEL code is disingenuous.

Then remove all open source code from your code base. I don’t mean some, I mean all. Let’s see whose code you’re repackaging for your own profit.

How do you negotiate with your apartment rental landlord when they are a huge corporation with 500+ properties?

I've been dealing with this for years now since my apartment complex was bought by new owners(multiple times now). Every time I renew the lease they want to raise the price $100+ ($300+ during covid). I always try to negotiate by saying I've lived there many years with no problems, paid rent on time, etc. Unfortunately I'm only...

Short term? You probably have some leverage if the upkeep of the stuff is in your rent contract. Try to report them someplace? Idk.

Long term? Form a tenant union and vote for pro-tenant policies, e.g., rent control policies, owner transparency laws, limitations on the number/length of time empty properties can sit, etc. The only way to fight big power is with more-equal power.

They called it like “alpha+” or something. But yeah, I think I’ve only had a couple of bugs over the two+ years I’ve been playing. I’ve had more bugs in fully released AAA titles.

Totally fair! Same engine, so they’re both very similar. I just found the community around BAR to be better and the updates a little faster and more consistent.

I’ve only ever beat those modes with friends. Being able to eco the hell out of em and then switch damage types a ton was the only way we found. I’m also not the person to ask - i am definitely not the best at the game, i just enjoy it a ton.

Yeah, i’ve only recently started watching some 8v8’s but there is so much to keep track of
