I’m not an American but my impression is the Supreme Court is mainly designed as a last bulwark to ensure the US never under any circumstances ever does anything remotely good and this isn’t exactly improving that impression.

It’s even funnier if you know I’m a trans woman rather early in my transition and that I do, in fact, just barely have boobs

Our 21-months old torpedo jumped my wife, who was quietly drinking tea in our sofa. Naturally, my wife did the only safe thing; a controlled spill of most of her tea on the side of the sofa that didn’t have the violence toddler attacking. Seeing this, said toddler commented “mommy spilled” and kept laughing like a maniac.

She’s also very fond of pulling out the top of whomever is holding her, shouting BOOOOB.

Today she also saw the sun in the morning after yesterday’s thunderstorm (it’s always bright outside here now as far as she knows since the sun sets long after her bedtime and rises long before she wakes up) and yelled “look! The lamp is on!”.

Sweden’s mostly on Meta Messenger. WhatsApp is the foreign exchange student protocol.

My first is one and a half and change now and after getting out of year one, which was absolute hell for me, I kind of understand where you are. I don’t feel exactly the same as you, but I do feel a lot more hope than I’d have expected.

My kid is a lot like @MagikShel’s youngest it sounds like, and she’s often extremely angry about my general existence, let alone any of my attempts at parenting her but in a way that comforts me because I see someone able to fight for what she wants at an early age and I’m very proud of that.

Can you (or a human) expand NPM, presumably not the Node Package Manager?

Has anyone been able to find an actual description of what this does? I clicked two layers deep and neither explains the details. It does sound like they’re doing CPU scheduling in the hardware, which is cool and makes some sense, but the descriptions are too vague to explain what the hell this is except “more parallelism goes brrrr” and it’s not clear to me why current GPUs aren’t already that.

Oh no we’ve gone full circle

Shows how much I know! (Nothing)

I assume we need a lot of breakthroughs to even have useful quantum computing at all, but sure.

Isn’t quantum encryption interesting for end users?

Wow they just…disabled all RAM over 3 GB because some drivers had hard coded some mapped memory? Jfc

The comments on this one really surprised me. I thought the kinds of people who hang out on XDA-developers were developers. I assumed that developers had a much better understanding of computer architecture than the people commenting (who of course may not be representative of all readers).

I also get the idea that the writer is being vague not to simplify but because they genuinely don’t know the details, which feels even worse.

Interesting! Do you have a link to a write up about this? I don’t know anything about the windows memory manager

Presumably you’d have a QPU in your regular computer, like with other accelerators for graphics etc, or possibly a tiny one for cryptography integrated in the CPU

Sounds like that list is getting pretty short

It depends. For development work it’s literally the same since you usually set up a container for each project that runs regular fedora. Otherwise you usually install software from flatpak.

Installing system wide packages is possible but kind of annoying since they don’t activate until you reboot.

This is a very similar question to piracy vs unauthorised AI training and I think the underlying thing is power and agency.

It’s absolutely possible, consistent and valid to be for something in a situation where it equalises power and against it in a situation where it skews it even worse towards inequality.

I’ve also set up both and in my experience Nextcloud is much much more complicated to set up but simpler to use and syncthing is pretty much the exact opposite.

In my case, a rather long time ago, it failed to reliably sync my files, had a super annoying web based UI, was a pain to get all my devices to talk to each other because because they had to join some sort of peer to peer network and authenticate with the earth other all three. It also didn’t have any working solution for mobile devices. Hopefully all of that’s fixed now because there’s no inherent reason it couldn’t work.
