elgordino@fedia.ioto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What’s one of your favorite classic YouTube videos of all time?4·13 days agoHard to believe ‘Fat Woman Falls Down Hole’ is 18 years old. It had a renaissance when featured on Alan Partridge Alpha Papa.
Personally I don’t think there’s any obligation. Folks have campaigned for rights to be enjoyed, not for those people who receive the rights to feel obligated to join the fight.
If you can afford it consider donating to a charity that supports campaigners for the rights you enjoy. This way you can increase their ability to campaign without needing to be directly involved.
elgordino@fedia.ioto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada faces ‘massive challenge’ as NATO eyes new 5% spending target131·22 days agoThe crazy thing is, it’s not 5% of the budget it’s 5% of GDP. Usually a government budget is somewhere around 20% of GDP. So spending 5% of GDP on NATO would mean about 25% of all government spending going on the military.
elgordino@fedia.ioto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area23·24 days agoI once went through a BART gate line by mistake, I was trying to get to the trolley service and misread the signage. I immediately exited. The charge: $6.20. Still can’t believe it.

The security implications of this are mind blowing.
I tried this on my 6700XT I had to play in 720p, the performance was that bad. Any of the available upscalers just made it look worse.
I upgraded to a more modern card since then and it works fine, but if you’re on something like a 6700xt I’d be wary or prepare to refund if you don’t like the performance.
elgordino@fedia.ioto Europe@feddit.org•Wikipedia legally challenges 'flawed' online safety rules in UK14·1 month agoWhen I think of the Online Safety Act I think of Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister. There’s a line where he says “The Official Secrets act isn’t to protect secrets, it’s to protect officials”.
The Online Safety Act exists to protect the safety of the government, not its people.
elgordino@fedia.ioto World News@lemmy.world•'Asian crisis in reverse' as currencies soar on the dollar14·1 month ago‘Soar’ is fine. It’s taking about the relative value of the currency vs the dollar. Not the attitude of the countries toward the dollar, where indeed ‘sour’ would be appropriate.
Ripples from Friday and Monday’s record rally in the Taiwan dollar are now spreading outward, driving surges for currencies in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong.
‘Vibe coding’ is where you code only with prompts and never look at the generated code.
Seems like a great way to create insecure unmaintainable code if you ask me.
elgordino@fedia.ioto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Let’s be clear: this Conservative party is dead. Those who killed it should own up so we can move on27·1 month agoThe Tory party purge during Brexit doomed them. All the heavyweights were booted out and there was nothing credible left.
elgordino@fedia.ioto IdiotsInCars@lemmy.world•Once again: “a bad driver never misses their turn”8·2 months agoAbsolutely the most terrifying aspect of driving on the Interstate.
Yeah this article is woefully uninformed. Author seems to be butt hurt about GPU pricing rather than any serious interest in how the protocol actually works.
elgordino@fedia.ioto News@lemmy.world•Things at Tesla are worse than they appear | CNN Business94·2 months agoYou mean just maybe Tesla isn’t worth more than all other car makers combined. I can’t believe it.
Maybe if that $56bn bonus goes through he’ll think of something. Heh.
As a British guy who worked in the USA for a while, my colleagues couldn’t fathom that I had no interest in going to Disneyland. It was kinda weird the obsession some of them had with it.

And somehow they voted for him again
Ah yes just a common miscommunication. Nothing to see here.
