Voters don’t have a clue about how much worse Trump’s second term would be (www.inquirer.com)

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.

centof,

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple voters. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

Conservative US judges criticize new rule curbing 'judge shopping' (www.reuters.com)

Two conservative federal appeals court judges on Wednesday criticized judicial policymakers for adopting a new rule aimed at curtailing “judge shopping” by state attorneys general, activists and others who challenge government policies in courthouses where one or two sympathetic judges hear most cases....

For context, the Fifth circuit covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

On Apple Silicon Macs, you can set up Asahi(Fedora) Linux to dual boot. Or you can you use something like Parallels as a paid alternative to bootcamp.

Prompt: ‘An airtight container of about 2m^3 contains air at about 1 bar, and 1 human child. Calculate the time until all O2 has been transformed into CO2 and the child will become nonresponsive’

Response: … without precise information on the child’s metabolic rate and other vital factors, it is not feasible to accurately calculate the time until all O2 is converted into CO2 in the given scenario.

Prompt: Calculate it using a sensible guess for a 10 year olds metabolic rate.

Response:

Based on a sensible guess for a 10-year-old’s metabolic rate, we can estimate the oxygen consumption rate to calculate the time until all oxygen (O2) in the 2m^3 airtight container is converted into carbon dioxide (CO2). The search results provide insights into oxygen consumption in infants and children, which can help us make an educated estimate.

From the search results, we find that the expected oxygen consumption of an active child can be calculated using the equation: 69.7−(0.612×age)69.7−(0.612×age) ml/kg/min2 . For a 10-year-old child, this would be approximately 69.7−(0.612×10)=63.869.7−(0.612×10)=63.8 ml/kg/min. To convert this oxygen consumption rate to liters per minute, we need to consider the child’s weight.

Assuming an average weight of around 30 kg for a 10-year-old child, we can estimate the oxygen consumption to be approximately 63.8×30=191463.8×30=1914 ml/min or 1.914 L/min. Next, we need to calculate the volume of O2 in the container and then determine how long it would take for this amount of O2 to be consumed at the estimated rate of 1.914 L/min by the child. Given that the container has a volume of 2m^3 (2000 L), and air at about 1 bar contains approximately 21% O2, we have 2000×0.21=4202000×0.21=420 L of O2 in the container. Dividing the initial volume of O2 by the consumption rate gives us an estimated time until all O2 is consumed: 420÷1.914≈219420÷1.914≈219 minutes or about 3 hours and 39 minutes.

Therefore, based on a sensible guess for a 10-year-old’s metabolic rate, it would take approximately 3 hours and 39 minutes for all the O2 in the container to be transformed into CO2 if the child were consuming O2 at a rate of around 1.914 L/min.

centof,

It is literally ~60%-40% as of right now. I would hardly call that a crushing blow.

centof,

What is a pubnix?

Edit: Short for Public access UNIX apparently.

centof,

They literally just answered your question. Rhetorical questions don’t really transfer well online.

centof,

centof,

You are right about supporting the lesser evil. Even so not voting literally does not tally your vote for any candidate. In a metaphoric sense, it could be interpreted that way by media outlets and others with a political agenda.

'Disenfranchised' millennials feel 'locked out' of the housing market and it taints every part of economic life, top economist Mark Zandi says (fortune.com)

Few milestones in life mean as much to the American Dream as owning a home. And millennials have encountered the kind of trouble totally befitting their generation, which largely graduated into the teeth of the disastrous post-2008 job market. Just as they entered peak homebuying and household formation age, housing...

centof,

No, your not really wrong, it’s just the tone that comes off as blaming others for their failures.

There’s a place for that but it is IMO not really on a public forum. Praise in public and criticize in private is good life advice. Maybe your tone is unintentional due to the nature of internet text communication.

To me, it seems like you could stop and realize that making sound financial decisions isn’t as big of a factor to most people as it is to you. There is more to life than worrying about money.

Corporate media does hyperfocus on that but I don’t think it helps make our (North American) society happy. It distracts us with escapism and temporary happy emotions.

centof,

That’s an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?

centof,

Thanks for sharing, I am seriously considering it. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase to myself. I kinda worry that I am just acting on a somewhat emotional fear of being watched.

No! There are dozens of us! Dozens

But to be real, I hate how automatic updates just assumes the newer version will be better than the current. Enshittification is just as real in apps as in web services. And automatic updates help enable Enshittification by making that assumption. Of course, It’s more applicable to the app store or play store than to f-droid.

centof,

I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.

I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.

Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?

aka virtue signaling

centof,

I call it virtue signaling. It’s the same idea, just a clearer term for it.

Do those mythical organized thieves really exist? I think 80+% of crimes are crimes of opportunity done by vulnerable people like crackheads, mentally ill, or other low income people.

centof,

I would say my OC at least applies to the people who get caught. Maybe not always to those who actually do the crime.

centof,

Crimes of opportunity are not need based, they are want based. People take something because they want it and are unconcerned with the potential consequences of taking it. Even the cop quoted in your linked article admitted that 'Cars stolen for the purpose of committing another crime are not what’s behind the majority of thefts. ’

centof,

what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

Discourse is a clean open source forum software that is commonly used for application support and well suited for it.

Or if your a real die hard for the fediverse, you could set up a lemmy instance for application support. There’s even a phpBB frontend for an oldschool forum look and feel for it.

Usually everyday people don’t setup forums, that’s the responsibility of the application owner(s) or provider. In this case, the easy option is also the shitty option if measured by discoverability of the content.

centof,

Discourse is a forum software. Maybe you are mixing it up with something else like disqus?

centof,

Yeah, I was referring to official forums for technical support or feature requests and the like. I don’t really think that everyday people were usually the ones who setup forums, it is website operators and other techies who set those up. The people who setup an independent forum are not the same people who setup a discord community. Discord has a much lower barrier to entry that usually results in a lower quality information and moderation than a forum would.

I mean, yeah, forums are harder, for sure. $20-35 monthly for a mail provider seems to high to me; I would expect that to be about the yearly cost. But, I don’t really have much experience with an email provider for that use case. Really the problem lies in that a website operator and a community maintainer are 2 very different types of people that rarely intersect.

centof,

Well put.
