no because inflation, but the price will probably fall to what it would naturally grow to if the bubble didn’t exist.

is that the one where they measure one half in BTUs and the other in KWh for some reason

you can just edit the post.its not a problem

there’s some quantum versions of algorithms that scale better than the digital version. ranging from quadratic to exponential speedup. Notably very fast at breaking currently widely used encryption. We are only saved by the fact quantum computers don’t have the required processing power to be feasible to use yet.

There’s some encryption algos that are thought to be resistant against quantum attacks but due to the above this isn’t actually proven yet, so currently any “post-quantum encryption” is currently a marketing buzzword with nothing behind it.

sure, but at that point you can just use any arbitrary unit if all you need to do is keep it in a rough ratio. the SI system is useful because it’s standardized, allows for precision, and you can easily convert units. A liter is a decimeter cubed, try doing that with feet and gallons.

but yeah, i agree people would benefit from more straightedge and compass construction skills instead of trying to read the milimeters of a measuring tape that’s not even guaranteed to be straight

yep, great for brown stock

they’re great for caramellizing whole onions, but you could also buy a blowtorch

True, true

i am of course, talking in general, but many products can be made more sustainably without sacrificing quality, the method of looking for the most cost-effective way; while good for corporations, it is pretty wasteful.

preferably both policy, and consumer consciousness. starting with anything that’s single use for no reason, society forgot that recycling is third in the hierarchy, below reducing and reusing. wouldn’t it be nice if i could just buy ice cream and put it into a tub that i brought from home instead of having 10 identical, perfectly good plastic tubs that are to be thrown into trash? generally there’s too much plastic wrapping for products.

point being that one, or even 100000 people going full eco conscious would barely make a dent; while placing some barriers over corporations would hopefully reduce emissions substantially without sacrificing consumer convenience.

agreed, a tool that you have to actively fight to do something well is a garbage tool. it’s like trying to cut some chicken meat with a knife that’s magnetically drawn to living beings. You can make some nice diced chicken with it, but it is way more likely that you’ll slip up and cut off your finger than with an actual knife.

regardless of the original intention, the purpose of generative “AI” is to become a manager that’s out of touch with the actual creation process, so at best no one will know how something works, at worst no one will be able to fix it if it breaks.

it’s one of the “official” ones being supported by lemmy developers, otherwise i don’t really feel the difference. anything is better over the shithole that was reddit.

i guess there’s more marxists on .ml, but i don’t read the instance the comment is from on purpose; that’s irrelevant to me.

just the basic lemmy.ml website.

i personally don’t care about posting opinions on an admin account, but they seem to be right. suspect it’s to do with living on the same instance.

the button is there, but clicking it does not do anything, can’t do it via the profile or searchbar either

i wouldn’t feel bad about your carbon footprint when your local corporation exceeds that trillion fold. regulation is by far the best way, not consumer choice. go harass inform your local and national representatives about how climate change is bad and you care about it, and kindly ask them to regulate their #1 polluters.

are passkeys not a type of a hardware token? they’re tied to a device.

Yeah, it’s funny when people shit on Linux just because people care enough to disclose vulnerabilities. Trust me that any proprietary system has just as many; they just get silently patched in this month’s security update.

Computers are finicky things; the amount of known CVEs is simply a measure of how many people pentest the software and how big the project is, rather than any statement about its security.

I’d say mint is great for non tech people (90% of the time it’s the DE and GUI apps that are important rather than the distro, but mint has good ones by default). For former windows power users I’d recommend CachyOS or Fedora. Either way, you can boot from USB for any of these as a live demo; I have images for all 3 + memtest on my ventoy USB.

Guess it’s too late now, but mint has an option for automatic updates.
