That is, if someone doesn’t come to reverse idiotic policies deepening reliance on oil as a fuel source against any practical, ecological and economical considerations, while raiding other countries to keep it afloat a little longer.

It is still on the tangent though. Personalized pricing is a threat that doesn’t come out of scarcity, but out of greed. It’s a way to extract as much money from a person as possible, and not something dictated by the objective economic factors (except for endless growth as a business model under market system).

Most goods don’t take much oil to produce. And the main topic is way in a different direction.

Everyone talks about the drug part, but not the rest. So, filling in on this one.

The black thing right there is The Kaaba, the holiest place of Muslims. People on the background are completing Ṭawāf - holy pilgrimage to The Kaaba, which ends in going around it seven times in a counter -clockwise direction.

People there normally wear special clothes and chant holy phrases as they go around. For Muslims, it’s a very serious and spiritual event.

The dude poses in a way that says “hey, I’m gonna get spiritual with THIS” while completely disregarding every rule about being there.

(Muslims and other knowledgeable folks are welcome to correct me)

Beautiful

Happy birthday!

Back then I was in elementary school. It was fairly cozy, and life was quite a bit more predictable - classes with friends, extended curriculum, family evenings, lots of play and fun. Coming to visit grandparents on the holidays. When family needed anything at all, my grandmother has always been there, and she is why our family is still so close together, despite her passing many moons ago.

I also got my first ever phone around this time - an old used black-and-white Sony Ericsson, with buttons and 2G mobile connection. Was nice to get my first personal piece of tech. Played around with it like crazy, lol.

Overall, a lot of things have passed since then, some for the worse, some for the better. But I had a good childhood.

Now, how do you feel about turning 18?

Men use AI partners more often than women, as per the article’s content

Classic

I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, it relies on strong spinal muscles allowing one to carry heavier weight, keeps one’s hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against one’s neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off someone.

The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).

Nice!

Next step is to make it not only a set of virtual flat screens, but allow the user to interact with 3D objects

Imagine having that tree in 3D and having screens around it, or something along these lines

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

Also differs person to person, but I think there is a useful highlight in here.

Traditionally being the “dominant” gender, men are expected to show signs of attention towards women to “earn” their affection (which the meme is essentially about).

But when it comes the other way around, it both breaks the social script and gives men something they severely lack - feeling that they matter, that they are worthy of attention, that they can be loved for who they are and not for what they do. And when someone is ready to break traditional norms and actively wants to give you something you never even hoped to receive, it lets the guard down pretty rapidly.

Overall, the solution to both, in my eyes, is for women to show more of such behavior, normalizing women initiating relationships and showing their affection from the start.

The reason men often go after women despite being refused is that culture often mixes “no as no” and “no as playful yes”. If women would be casually able to initiate relationships, signals would get much clearer, sparing everyone a ton of discomfort and allowing to actually build the culture of consent. Also, there would be less space for manipulation through abusing people’s needs.

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

If God is truly this powerful, He’s a psychopath.

He can create us perfect and kind and loyal, and specifically chooses not to. Instead, He bullies us into serving Him, going for a murder spree in the meanwhile, knowing full well it is entirely avoidable.

All to show how much He loves us.

Yet Trump has to live on?..

Trinity is messed up in so many wonderful ways tbh

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Me. Introversion doesn’t mean individualism. We can support the community in many ways, we can participate in it and bond with it. And this makes us stronger.

Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.

Not quite a serious city building game, but Islanders is about building the most efficient city, and it’s made in a cutesy solarpunk aesthetic.

Works perfectly smooth on Linux.
