@union @PurpCat @ZRDR_DelRio @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @thendrix You could probably charge for the EV yearly registration taxes based on weight, just assume they're driving an average amount of miles per year (12000-15000) get the MPG based on similar weighted gas cars, and let them try to claim a discount if they're under that. Wouldn't take any more info than they already have.

@anime Yes, I was referring to your comment about them seeking out any stories at all to make into anime, and relating the one I found more unlikely. 365 Days actually got a live action show as well.

@anime Not the most surprising one to get an anime. That might be Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure, that was probably the most generic tropey isekai ever. I watched it a bit before realizing that I had read the manga, but it really didn't stick in my memory at all.

@terinjokes @system76 @requiem I guess I haven't compiled anything on Gentoo in awhile, the last time I did a KDE desktop build of gentoo it took about 40 hours, but that was on my older 2nd gen Intel core laptop.

@requiem @system76 @terinjokes That's getting rare on Linux these days, Unless you use Rust I suppose. C++ compiled apps take so long to build these days, and have so many dependencies... Compiling from source seems to really only be a thing in the BSD-lands. Even Gentoo is starting to ship some things as binaries because of the long compile times.

@requiem @system76 @terinjokes (Nix on the other hand, is trying to do the same thing but without chroot/jails, and instead by manipulating all of the paths in the environment.)

@requiem @terinjokes @system76 It's really the same sort of stuff as Docker, you're basically just installing an entire extra, tiny, operating system on top of your kernel, Docker and Flatpak are mostly there to keep it from installing that same OS over and over, and instead keep one copy of it that's shared. Appimage just says "we have huge disks, just keep the OS around many times."

@todayilearned Our recycling center explicitly tells us not to put them in the corrugated cardboard bin...

@anime @anime_outdoor They've been watching too much furry anime. They've gone Digigrade.

@requiem I've done it before, mostly when I forget to click on the button. Or when I'm not sure if another meeting before it will run long.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/31/zen_internet/ With IPv4 depletion, it's not like v4 will just break, or everyone will immediately hop to v6. it's just going to be a decade of things like this. Addresses being reassigned, anyone who doesn't complain will lose out on their address blocks, etc. The initial reassignments were done voluntarily as some of the big block owners carved up and sold off sections. The future ones won't be. Eventually the v4 internet will just be wholly Centralized.

@union @deprecated_ii Probably none, but they want to make sure. Of that list, I imagine only China has a presence, unless you're talking about counterfeit parts. (Even if China also makes up the bulk of counterfeit parts.)

@Jedigirl I think the appropriate term is "entry level" as in this job is for people who haven't had a job before. It is of low value and low risk, so if they flake out and don't show up it doesn't hurt us too much. Because it's low value to the company, the pay is equivalently low. If they demonstrate that they can show up every day and excel at it, then they can move up into a job that requires more skill, dedication, and is more valuable, and thus higher pay. They can also put on the resume "Worked at this job for a year and didn't get fired, so you know I can show up" and get a job of more value. People aren't meant to stay in that kind of job for more than a couple of years, or if they're older than about 21. The job is to recruit graduating high school students into the company and then filter them upwards, or out. It's kind of like an internship, except for people who aren't in college.

@arstechnica My favorite platform, though I owned a much later version.

@britt To Ubisoft, I'm quite comfortable with not owning your games, paying for them, or playing them.

@textfiles Nice, first thing I did when I heard the news was check Archive.org, and found a 2008 snapshot of the server. Probably not a ton of stuff has changed since then.

@pro On phones, it's useful for power saving, less so on desktop chips. Having Zen4 and Zen4C cores on the other hand, they're the same architecture, the only difference is that the 4C have less cache and don't boost as high in clock speeds. Since usually only a couple of your cores are running full boost, that's usually a good tradeoff for getting more cores. It only saves them maybe 35% or so of space, rather than fitting 4 of them in the same space though.
