The “btw” is insincere if they didn’t do it manually, they should be prohibited from using it.

Arch’s tag to neatly summarise the aloof snobbery must be preserved. If archintall script users can say it; how long until “I use manjaro btw”, or “i use endeavouros btw”. At which point it just has no value - I don’t believe these people are genuinely considering themselves superior to other users - as reflected in several other comments here.

Archinstall script should be modified to install a keylogger that will bork the system if ever “arch btw” is detected.

I think you drew flat moon at the wrong angle though, it always faces square on to flat earth.

I’m not sure how new or innovative all these tricks are, I heard something equivalent to that ‘unicorn’ thing about Victorian era railway companies in London. But those spending numbers in 1 year are horrific, they could each build like hundreds of km of high speed rail and probably a handful of schools and hospitals (not that i’d want that lot involved in any of those things).

“. . .the position is serious when enterprise becomes the bubble on a whirlpool of speculation.”

The rapid progress of renewables is barely treading water next to increases in demand. Global fossil fuel consumption has still increased despite lots of that new solar and wind capacity added over the last few years.

The way i see the data renewables are going to have to speed up quite a bit faster to actually start replacing fossil fuels in a significant way. But problem is the fossil fuels will then just get cheap and people will find new or increased other uses for them - so the emissions will probably still happen from one source or another however many solar panels get added.

Oil, and to a lesser extent natural gas, are such a convenient source, store and means of transporting energy that no way are all humans going to leave it underground or put it back down there.

The best proven method to reduce GHG emissions seems to be widespread economic recession (demand reduction) - but the bounce back has been pretty quick after 2008 and 2020 - so it’s not all that beneficial in the medium to long term. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/annual-change-in-energy-related-co2-emissions-1900-2024

Did anyone check Marie’s grave?

Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell’s - just to fuck with Einstein.

Someone tell them microphones can be described as a transducer, maybe they’ll quieten down. I guess all combustion engines , furnaces and motors / generators are too technically.

Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.

But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.

I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.

A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.

There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.

I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

Getting strong “Sudden Valley” vibes here.

OK. So more people are buying it and they are paying more. How can they afford to do this?

Here’s some support for this claim.

This citynerd video must have been posted here a million times - but here it is again - about 13 minutes is the bit about housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kSTJnT0tUE

Some useful stuff for some laptops - worth checking if you’re buying one for linux:

Also this - i guess this is the inverse question though:

Maybe subcultures?

I’d say, e.g. Maggie Thatcher, plus many other women I’ve worked with in positions of power in govt or civil service seem to me to have (or fake?) similar behaviors to men in the same positions.

Its very possible that the business leaders thing is just a selection effect. Those traits exist in some men and some women and those people are likely to select into those roles. But then I think these subcultures may reward and reinforce traits in the long run.

It’d be interesting to hear the experience of say women in traditionally male dominated roles like the army. Or men who work in the traditionally female dominated roles roles like nursing or childcare.

There must be some twin-studies on this type of thing.

I don’t get it. If you have a pile of gold and there are no other people involved, how does its value change?

That PSU sounds good enough to me.

Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.

It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff. I’ve never used it but you could give that a go - see if you’re ever getting close to the 750W.

I don’t think magic is objective; I think it is in the eye of the beholder.

If the audience don’t understand it, or can be distracted from seeing the truth of it, it’s magic or a miracle or whatever to them. And the magician - if they know what they’re doing - can wield power over the rubes.

So before you understand - say, magnetism - better, lodestones can be seen as magical or heaven-sent.

There’ll be physical phenomena today like ‘spooky action at a distance’ or something where even quite learned observers might not 100% know the laws of physics. Some exploit of that can appear as magical until the laws are figured out and well communicated.

If it turns out that the underlying laws are stochastic rather than deterministic, then there’s always going to be some grey areas i think.

I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.

I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.

How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.

Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed late in 2024 that artificial intelligence (AI) should never be empowered to decide to launch a nuclear war.
