There are no “good guys” in a conflict between religious people.

Read the excellent Decolonize Palestine website to learn about the vital context that makes Israel’s claim of self defense deeply disingenuous, and to learn about some of the falsehoods about Israel and Palestine that are present in mainstream discourse.

My single-slot Radeon HD 6770 from PowerColor was quite nice, although outrageously loud toward the end of its lifespan. Bit of a dead end from the start though (last of TeraScale, never got Vulkan), but I still had a blast with it.

The screw heads are mainly to prevent people from tampering with stuff they aren’t supposed to unscrew. Hard drives, for example, all use the same star-shaped heads that most people don’t have screwdrivers for.

I do think that people passionate about information technology – those who love it for the intrinsic awesomeness and not the money it brings – could break away with some of the legacy bullshit that holds back the quality of the software we use, if they were given the opportunity to defy software “tradition” and the profit motive. As of now, there is no systemic path forward, only occasional improvements incited by acute inadequacy of existing conventions for the growth of interested businesses.

It’s a young field and we’re still entrenched in the consequences of the sort of mistakes that, in a few hundred years, will become “those silly things people used to do because they didn’t know better”.

Daily reminder that the web is a mess of corpo bullshit piled on top of 90s tech and most OSes currently in use are culturally from the early 80s.

it already was

1066 MHz = 2132 MT/s, which is fairly average by DDR3 standards

PUBG if it was good

This is horseshit, Opus 130k stereo is perceptually lossless according to many public listening tests. All responsibility for poor quality rests on the uploader and sometimes on idiotic downloaders that still dare to shit out MP3 in the year 2024.

uh oh… zpool scrub

ah yes, СбLР

why the fuck is Thermaltake making chairs

thought this was about Game Theory for a split second

is this like the USSR

Same shit, different ass

Many things that were conceptually conceived in the 20th century didn’t become viable until the 21st, such as OLED, VR and AR, raytracing, telesurgery, a whole slew of types of artificial organs, a gigantic amount of miscellaneous advancements in integrated circuit fabrication, alternative vehicle fuel such as methane, hydrogen and rechargeable batteries; maglev trains, innumerable safety improvements in aviation, mRNA vaccines and so on and so forth. I don’t think it’s fair to credit all that stuff to the 20th century, unless someone somewhere saying “be real cool if we could do that” counts as inventing something.

I did not interpret my original comments as genocidal rhetoric, but seeing as how they have been interpreted, I now realize that they contain an element analogous to that of “the conflict in Gaza is too complex”. I am sorry for causing this pointless argument and will be more careful with the implications of concise opinions from now on.

I do think that the substance of our disagreement here is minute and the “no good side” statement I opened this with is far from the best way of wording what I was referring to here. Please note, however, that at no point did I bring “shades of gray” or “both sides equally bad” into the conversation, and that the antagonistic nature of your gotcha is deeply reductive, insensitive and automated.

I wholeheartedly agree with the moral character of Ukraine’s self defense. What I don’t agree with, however, is the moral character of the US, a supplier of “aid” that never gives anything to anyone for free.

I once again inquire what fascist state you were so unbelievably convinced I was simping for.
