Yeah, PFAS or forever chemicals like Teflon are not all equal. The bigger “fluffier” molecules can pass through the body way easier than the smaller ones.

If people are in the US they should check their drinking water first since that’s the majority of PFAS that stay in the body weirdly enough.

Better safe than sorry. You could argue that it wasn’t CSAM but anything you’d have to argue for is safer to ban.

I use punctuation for texts and IMs and I start my emails with “Hi Steve,” and end with “Best regards,”.

Venus has CO2 air at 50km at same pressure as earth and has good protection from radiation. You could make tons of blimps, heat them up with solar energy to float make a small science colony.

Downside is that it’s very weight limited because landing on a surface full of sulfuric acid is hard. The challenges are still there and Venus has it’s challenges but you could have people running around with oxygen tanks instead of space suits.

I’ve been using KDE for 6 years now and Gnome is not my vibe but I still consider it a massive upgrade that’s not disappointing.

I mistrust because it’s inaccurate.

If you have 48GB you don’t need a swapfile. To min-max you could lower the “swappiness” so it uses swapfiles way less. It’s just bonus memory that lives on the SSD. Swap files and swap partitions behave the same unless you run out of SSD space.

Linux system has better architecture than Windows so your system is safe unless you install a virus (of which there are way fewer).

Where you install programs? Just use the app store or terminal, the location doesn’t matter.

The “hardening” is interesting though, you can go really far into security if you want. If things are installed in user-space it can’t fuck with your computer on a fundamental level so it’s preferred. You don’t have to worry about it though unless your installing some niche programs from someone you know nothing about.

I barely use AI for work but I gotta say that it’s the first time I can get some very specific tasks done faster.

I currently make it write code generators, I fix the up and after that I have something better at making boilerplate than these LLMs. Today I had to throw up a bunch of CRUD for a small webapp and it saved me around 1-2 hours.

I must have an older install then, I installed Bazzite some time ago and it came with discover

All good man, I just wanted to point out how impressive what you did was. You didn’t just stick it to the man, you went Vlad the Impaler on his ass.

This post was about little things, no need to show your gigantic balls here.

Just noticed your name is a reference to Stein’s Gate, nice one

Bike is the ultimate freedom vehicle

Thames water was a clusterfuck

You can install Bazzite with KDE also if I’m not mistaken

Same, I have 100Mb up and only use a fraction of it.

I’m out of the loop here, what’s the context?

I moved but then covid hit and I moved back to Iceland and got myself a remote job in the US as a full-time contractor.

Process is pretty easy for EU/EEA citizens.

I was working at a hotel job part time while doing a bachelor’s business degree when I finished the exam prep up to a point where I didn’t see a benefit and tried out codecademy.

I had an incredibly pure joy of just creating shitty webpages and doing assignments, learned some javascript and then it hit me.

I started a compsci degree, stopped working and got some student loans and overkilled every programming assignment. I basically thought “If programming is the most valuable part, I’m just gonna max it at the cost of everything else” and it was a fantastic choice.

I applied to all the jobs in Iceland, nobody took me in so I started applying to bunch of jobs in all of Europe. Ended up landing my first job in Germany and that’s where it my career started.

In a 2D game Y is up. Going from 2D to 3D would make sense to add another dimension forward to account for depth.

However if you start with a map of a 3D surface then North is Y and East is X you’d add Z to account for elevation like everybody making maps would.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.
