@puppygirlhornypost2 get to a "normal" (bmi < 25) weight before i leave for grad school

(also get below 30 bmi before my first primary care appointment in years)

New planned obsolescence method dropped:

time.sleep((datetime.now() - datetime(2024,7,1)).days * 0.005)

@[email protected] I mean, Windows was always the expensive option, and AMD has generally been cheaper for both GPUs and CPUs even if sometimes underperforming (the FX era notwithstanding)

@[email protected] also,

Like, it's the same attitude the USA had about airport security before 2001

we still don't do anything about airport security, or really any form of security. people get through TSA with weapons all the time (think there was one study putting it at 90 percent). while i haven't brought a weapon into a courthouse before I did accidentally forget to take out a laptop charger at a federal courthouse where the policy was "you must take out everything, chargers included, the scanner will alert us if you didn't"

also the tel aviv airport security regimen is so strict and insane as to arguably be an active security threat to travelers (especially specific classes of travelers)

It kinda should be? Like, if you use a drone, and it gets exploded, you won't use another drone. These things are expensive.

It would be great if this is how people thought, but it isn't. Especially not corporations.

What if it's a domestic terror cell making you used to drones before releasing a wave of actually explody ones? Do you really want your government to take that risk on your life?

I never said flying drones in public areas should be legal - quite the opposite; there's a difference between exploding the drone, which makes direct accountability harder (no on-drone evidence and you can't follow it back to the launch location), and tracking it down using forensic evidence

This isn't a "wait until something happens and sue them" - it's simply a different approach. You can actively sue/prosecute as people launch drones instead of shooting the drones down

@[email protected]

but once you set precedent once, no one puts scary drones in the air anymore, cause they go boom

unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that here, harm to property isn't an effective method of dissuading behavior

Like, what if it's some shady company training AI on you? Ew. Go to hell, kaboom, if it's not, get a permit

Unless the AI company is planning on blowing up/crashing their own drone anyway, it will have to return home at some point, at which point you can follow it and prosecute those who launched it

@[email protected] @[email protected] assuming an initial installation of core debian, are debian branches/spins (thinking devuan) reasonable alternatives for systemd avoidance?

@[email protected] in many cities (mine included) drones in public areas without permits are prohibited, but there's a legal concept of proportional response - shooting a drone down if there's a lesser way to handle the situation is the legally responsible option

once the owner of the drone is found, then action can be taken against them - that's the protection of people's lives and privacy long term

@[email protected] @[email protected] idk if its still an issue or not but the inability to remove malcontent on Fedora GNOME systems without tossing the entire base system drove me up a fucking wall

@[email protected] @[email protected] "manually installing" installing something through apt/dnf/another package manager is not manual

@[email protected] lawsuits, plus exploding them over a populated area could cause more issues if they're attack drones (chemical release...)

@[email protected] @[email protected] ah

@[email protected] @[email protected] oh cool, where're you from? (i'm stuck in orange county, california for now desfortundamente)

@[email protected] @[email protected] port bsd jails

@[email protected] @[email protected] yeah it is supported, literally sudo apt install flatpak, was in a PPA before: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu

@[email protected] @[email protected] i'm fairly sure you can install flatpak on ubuntu no?

@[email protected] @[email protected] here it doesn't get written since we don't have much kosher or halal food at all

@[email protected] @[email protected] I don't personally like flatpaks (I'm really big on the traditional software installation model, although I am using nixos now so ​​) but holy shit will I take flatpak over snapd

@[email protected] @[email protected] (i hate orange county)

@[email protected] @[email protected] same where I live, albeit halal in any non-food context is just seen as "scary terrorist word!!1!"
