That's expensive..

[pulsar kiln]

Can you really say none of the USA media influences you?

[pulsar kiln]

Actually saved me 100's of thousands at this point

Rent and houses in north America is expensive asf

[pallid falcon]

Traveling costs too much moving too cant afford food

[cyan prism]

eh. I ignore most of it, don't care for much of it
I just like looking at music posts and dumb shitposts on social media

[pulsar kiln]

Put it this way, one year rent in Bali Indonesia is equal to one month rent in Canada

[pulsar kiln]

Odd thing is you are influenced in ways you don't even realize

You flat out don't even have Chinese options in USA.

Look at the recent LTT video of giving his kids a new phone. There were zero Chinese options. Even though several met all requirements

[shut lichen]

Now compare the median wages... unless you're doing remote work or moved there to do some specific skilled high paying job, you're not really "saving" anything

[pulsar kiln]

Actually works very well in favor of SEA

Median wages don't really into consideration taxes often.

Sure, Canada looks great before taxes. Now reduce for taxes and Canada looks awful

[shut lichen]

They do have those options in Canada, but there are both quality and privacy concerns

[pulsar kiln]

No they don't have these options. There is no Huawei or honor or oppo,or vivo, or Infinix, etc

Just stop

[shut lichen]

You know a service provider isn't the only place to buy a phone?

[pulsar kiln]

They only showed phones from the major carriers. It was obvious

This isn't even debatable. Go crawl back into your hole clown

Go ahead, throw the clown reaction up as usual

It was very obvious it was done a a north American perspective

They were given zero overseas perspectives as there were many overseas perspectives that met the requirements, and people noted it in the comments.

[shut lichen]

most things were ruled out because of not having 5 years of full android updates (not just security patches)

And the budget was plenty high

[pallid falcon]

Hey you two

🫓

[shut lichen]

and really, they had the selection of phones already to do the video, and they're phones Linus will have to deal with in some ways, so he's not going to want ones that may be different to what he's used to

[pallid falcon]

Let's talk about bread instead of argue

Ok but bread better then arguments going nowhere

[shut lichen]

Also as I've already mentioned, there are legitimate privacy concerns with Chinese phones, they may not be real problems in many cases but best not to gamble with your kids especially if money isn't a problem

[pulsar kiln]

Thus does not respect a response as you clearly have no idea

[strong kettle]

The thing is what makes you think other governments arent also spying on you if you think the chinese are? do they want to know what kind of cookies you like? is your information worth it to them?

[pulsar kiln]

Completely inaccurate

[strong kettle]

pick your poison i guess which government you want to spy on you

[pulsar kiln]

Very very inaccurate

Speaking like someone who costly has zero clue

Go try again troll

Throw your clown emoji about like usual

[shut lichen]

because other governments attempts to get backdoors into things are a lot more public that the ccp's direct involvement lol

[pulsar kiln]

Precisely. It's only wrong because "their" government isn't the one in question.

Very typical westerner response

[pallid falcon]

Bros worse at rage baiting then the pauls

[shut lichen]

It's literally been proven that the CCP made huawei backdoors shit, I'm sorry for mentioning legitimate concerns with tech products from companies that operate under a literal dictatorship

[pulsar kiln]

Backdooring your shit for governments? Yeah nah they've gone to court over refusing to many times. This shit is public, unlike what the dictatorship does

Now those companies using your data for their own uses is another story

and a very different story

[pulsar kiln]

Guy speaks like American tech is not under surveillance, meanwhile the EU is legit trying to distance themselves from USA tech for these EXACT reasons.

[pallid falcon]

The eu is enforcing spying laws

[pulsar kiln]

And the Eurostack Initiative

[pallid falcon]

It doesn't matter american or Chinese of European, you're getting spied on by a government

[shut lichen]

You say that as if the EU haven't demanded shit from Google and Microsoft a million times

[pulsar kiln]

Exactly

[shut lichen]

and again, I'd rather it not be a dictatorship spying on me

[pulsar kiln]

But you're perfectly fine using a device that is guaranteed to give your data to your own government. Good for you

At least China resists western shit

[shut lichen]

[pulsar kiln]

Why not speak for a device that doesn't actively support your own governments goals?

Clearly you do not

[fossil frost]

is it your old system?

[iron blaze]

guys i wanna get a ps3

[iron blaze]

give me /j

but really, you could probably install macos sonoma with oclp and use it decently, give it to someone, sell it

i got my late 2009 27" i7 16gb ram imac to run sequoia pretty well with the stock hd 4850 graphics

and on a 500gb ssd

it ran pretty okay, i ran minecraft 1.21.9 at 60fps at 1440p, shame i broke it by accident

it was a pretty nice computer for its age

if it still worked i would've upgraded the gpu, wifi card, added a hard drive instead of the dvd drive

[olive basin]

Again I think you should use it. Use GeForce now

(this was also the reason i didn't understood what people was complaining about slow rust compilation times when i did a summer of rust-dev on my M mac.)

[fossil frost]

Build a comparable C project. And you will see how slow rust builds are

[glad lichen]

i do all my C/C++ stuff on CLion (MinGW, MSVC) on windows. It's not faster But I blame the laptop hardware is not on par.

[fossil frost]

Same size/complexity of a project. On the same hardware, rust builds are dog shit slow

Hey just watched the newest LTT video and waa wondering what your guys's take on the new CA / CO laws requiring all OS to do age verification and pass an age bracked to any app that asks for it. This includes all linux distros.

[oak pier]

fucking awful

[pallid falcon]

The law is a idiot and the lawmakers should feel bad

https://tenor.com/view/two-thumbs-down-hate-it-bad-rating-dont-like-it-negative-gif-15666785

[steep bay]

I agree

[sturdy dune]

how do you enforce that on operating systems

it doesnt make sense

[steep bay]

Oh android is locking down the ability to sideload APK's

[harsh quartz]

specifically for something like linux distros, its just not enforceable

[sturdy dune]

they cant stop people from pirating how are they gonna force them to do age verification

[fossil frost]

they can very well force all distros to add in the ability to do age verification. what they cant stop, on windows and linux, is me hooking into the API and just passing "isVerified = true" via the interface they provide to be interoperable with ID providers

[sturdy dune]

how are you gonna force all distros to have that?

can just downgrade versions too yeah?

am i gonna have to do age verification on truenas?

[fossil frost]

any distro ran by a company, which is all the major distros, can be sued into non-existance if they dont do it

its really easy to force the major OS's to do it, its also super easy to bypass.. but its not about age verification, its about surveillance of "most people", and... if you get picked up for "some crime" they think you might have done, and they find you bypassed age verification... well.. you definately broke that law, gives them justification to take all of your devices and go through all of them

[sturdy dune]

how dystopian

[fossil frost]

yep

given that the small tests have been successful (1 or 2 states in the USA forcing it through, and 1 or 2 countries also doing it)... it makes it easier for everyone else to push it through because "well, its been done in X, so it can be done here too"

[warm finch]

Mmmm McCheeseBook

[minor falcon]

they did 4 dots on last video name... its unwatchable

[olive basin]

Hi

[mystic tundra]

the thing is majority is enough and that’s it

windows, ios/ipados/macos, android, few major linux distros and you’ve got 90% of population covered

[mystic tundra]

truth

[minor falcon]

isnt android a linux distro?

[fossil frost]

no

android is a linux based operating system, but not a linux distro

theres a very subtle difference

[minor falcon]

i taught those were same thing basically

but i was wrong

okay thanks anyways

[fossil frost]

Distro usually refers to a GNU/Linux OS with custom tweaks.. A linux based OS is anything that uses the linux kernel, but not necessarily the GNU or GNU based tools too. android is more or less its own thing, that uses the linux kernel, not at all interoperable with other linux based OS's

hurd doesnt even make it into the top 5 unix like kernels, by usage or by how good they are

Linux, BSD, Darwin, Minix, Solaris.. Unix its self would be in there somewhere.. then hurd

[digital oar]

If windows 12 is truely packed with AI. im going off grid. Im quitting my job. im living off the land , i may get eaten by a bear. But it's better than using windows 12

[glad lichen]

hurd is some kind of experimental proof of concept.

as stallman said, turns out, that design was really hard to troubleshoot

[glad lichen]

one of the big one that isn't spoken about but it's in hundreds of millions of cars, industrial, aerospace etc.... RTOS like QNX.

[fossil frost]

i was more just making a point rather than making an exhaustive list

[fossil frost]

"experimental proof of concept" that is 36 years old

[glad lichen]

what we instead seen is more hybrid kernels

[summer folio]

Install Windows 2000 & be far ahead of tbe game

[minor falcon]

I wonder why tf companies shove ai in our throats at all

[fossil frost]

its good for attracting investors, artificially creating growth

[minor falcon]

I hate public companies.

Private companies at least have to try make products that benefit consumer in a way he ready to pay for

[mystic tundra]

that is overly generalizing and also not true

savencia is a public dairy company and their sheet is good

[fossil frost]

private companies can still have multiple investors and multiple owners.. just not traded on the stock market

[mystic tundra]

there are bunch of PE companies that make your life worse, you might not realize

[versed wave]

private equity might honestly be worse than public

They are typically in massive amounts of leveraged debt and probably more willing to do dangerous things to pay back their loans and stay afloat

[fossil frost]

what you should hate is, non-engineering types who run engineering companies.. you dont want a lawyer or sales person, running a tech company.. because they will simply be jumping from buzzword to buzzword... without understanding fuck all

[mystic tundra]

private companies are owned by individuals or groups
public companies are “owned” by shareholders not really because they can do stuff like dilute you or basicly do whatever that is allowed by the laws

basicly they can do that you buy a share at $100, only 1 million of them exist

[fossil frost]

sports gambling is working class gambling... day trading is middle class gambling.. private equity companies are elite level or corporate gambling...

[mystic tundra]

they can issue 9 million of new shares

over a span of few years

so your investment is practically reduced by roughly 90%

dilution shall not be confused with share splitting or reverse splitting

you should literally avoid companies that dilute it’s shareholders on regular basis or companies that had history of massive one time dilutions

that includes companies like palantir

pretty much every year or so they issue roughly 5-10% of new shares

making any long term investment on pltr at this rate a bad decision at best

[mystic tundra]

investing is generally a type of gambling, you can reduce the risk but not eliminate it

even fixed interest rates are not reliable as governments can default for example or print more money

[minor falcon]

Fair enough

[minor falcon]

True

[mystic tundra]

actually fixed non dynamic rates are the worst choice even during times of peace and prosperity as of long term investments as majority of countries just print so much money it makes any government or even most bank rates make you lose on inflation

it’s the equivalent of burning money instead of saving

you shall save money in physical assets that will be relevant for decades or centuries to come

anyways your whole life is a gamble and you shouldn’t be extremely affraid of investing into multiple markets or different regions at once

if you want to preserse or optionally make some capital

[versed wave]

I mean isnt there also a law that allows shareholders to sue directors of a corporation personally if they make decisions that arent in the best interest of the company. So their whole job is to just return an investment to their shareholders.

[mystic tundra]

there are indexes that include most of the world

[fossil frost]

in the USA, public companies are legally required to act in the best interest of the shareholders

[mystic tundra]

if it would work then we wouldn’t see dilutions

palantir would already be wiped off

[versed wave]

Reverse splits make me so sad

[mystic tundra]

reverse splits are fine but it’s a poor signal

dilution is the real bad

with reverse splits shareholders retain value, with dilution… well you don’t retain

existing shareholders lose value

basicly when you invest into a public company you gotta pray the company doesn’t fuck you in many different ways

[versed wave]

Investing is really just fancy gambling and there's always risks even if some are smaller than others.

[mystic tundra]

and palantir is not even nearly the worst case, even major tech companies did it in the past

including nvidia

[versed wave]

I've bought stuff that is 99% down and I've bought stuff that has done 500% up but you just manage your risks and try to be as diverse as possible while taking some hopeful gambles

[fossil frost]

the key is, never gamble more than you can afford to just flush down the toilet

[mystic tundra]

basicly when you want to properly invest into a company first of all it has to be profitable, second of all is their business stable (includes also things like getting sued for fraud, etc.), how much? did the company dilute it’s shareholders in the past? how much are their liquifiable assets worth? what is the catch behind the company being “value”?

[versed wave]

Eh

[mystic tundra]

most common mistake is to start with leverages

[versed wave]

I mean yes but also I've seen the inverse happen so much that my level of understanding is know what youre investing in to the best of your ability. Try to keep your eyes on it and try to be as diverse as possible

If you have to leverage to invest you're better off just waiting

[mystic tundra]

don’t diverse too too much

[versed wave]

My main three are stocks, precious metals, and small into crypto

[mystic tundra]

if you do that you might actually end up choosing two related sectors or companies

like if one goes down the other one goes too

[versed wave]

So spilt among them Im pretty diverse I guess

[mystic tundra]

i’d want to buy tellurium

it’s very rare but cheap rn

[versed wave]

Never even really heard of it

[mystic tundra]

as it tends to be near other common deposists

like copper

[mystic tundra]

it’s used in so many chips

but it’s also kinda replacable in many instances

[versed wave]

I'm still in college so I'm just making enough in the markets for "fun" money. But my fun is 90% reinvestment and 10% I went to this location cause the scenery looked cool.

[mystic tundra]

mine is around 65% in stocks, 35% in metals, 0% in crypto

[versed wave]

Is it like something you can physically hold like a precious metal or just the companies that mine it?

[mystic tundra]

yes you can buy like 1kg bars if you can find them

but powder is cheaper

from china

[versed wave]

Probably stocks 45%, metals 45%, crypto 10%, and cash in HYSA/CDs @ 3.3-4%

[versed wave]

Interesting I'll take a look at them. That's sounds pretty cool

On second thought

I'm good man. Apparently it is not exactly safe to hold?

[mystic tundra]

beware though it’s value is heavily tied to certain things

[mystic tundra]

it should be less toxic than lead

[versed wave]

That is not a benchmark to live by

😭

[mystic tundra]

you shouldn’t expose the powder to air much anyways

keep it in the container

as of bars just wash your hands after handling them

[silver sun]

773

[mystic tundra]

just don’t eat tellurium and you’re good

if you’re worried about irritation, even brass or uncoated copper wires can irritate your skin

[candid glen]

Okay so I saw the new video

Linus heard, from LINUS TORVALDS HIMSELF, that Fedora KDE is a good distro

[mystic tundra]

it has minimal dermal absorbtion

[candid glen]

But he decides to try the OS that has not worked twice in a row beforehand

I'm halfway convinced Linus is a Microsoft plant trying to make Windows look better by making Linux seem like it breaks constantly

[mystic tundra]

so handling it is fine as long it doesn’t cause a reaction which usually happens after you handle it for long like tens of minutes or hours

[candid glen]

Linus "Linux" Torvalds: "fedora kde just works"
Linus "Tech tips" Sebastian: "i know! i'll ask chat gpt what linux distro to try!"

[mystic tundra]

basicly yk when you hold a coin for too long and it start to smell funny and your skin gets sweaty and mildly irritates, same will happen with tellurium

it’s not radioactive for example

also coins are dirty and can carry diseases so just like you wash hands after handling money do with te

i gtg

[fossil frost]

because one of those 2 want to actually get work done and use their OS... the other wants content that drives engagement and makes them a lot of money, and making idiotic decisions helps drive that

[candid glen]

personally i don't think he's the brightest bulb in the shed

[fossil frost]

linus s isnt stupid, he knows exactly what hes doing and why hes doing it

hes making what look like stupid decisions, because it makes for good content

"look, i made a good choice, and it just works" is a shit video, and nobody will watch it

"watch me shit all over linux for 30 minutes, while doing things really wrong on purpose" gets the windows crowd watching it to laugh at linux users, and gets the linux crowd watching it so they can angrily write comments... making a lot of money from that video

A bit of resistance

Pretty sure the low ass quality air coolers are also out of spec, but they still get the job done😂

[candid glen]

I think Fake Linus should try Fedora KDE

Instead of doing the same thing over and over expecting shit to change

[pulsar kiln]

KDE yes. Shouldn't really matter outside of that.

[candid glen]

I mean, he got recommended, by Mr. Linux himself, to use Fedora

"oh i know! i'll ask chatgpt!"

One might be tempted to say the third time's the charm but come on, really? It's failed on him two times beforehand but he still tries to use PopOS?

[summer folio]

They fired Anthony just so they wouldn't have to try Slackware

✊🏻 😔

[pulsar kiln]

I actually don't blame him. Would've been one of my first recommendations as well.

[summer folio]

Slackware or bust

Intels own Linux distro Clear Linux is the fastest one though

[pulsar kiln]

Dude they have excellent connect with Wendell too. Point of the challenge is do not use the Linux gods

[summer folio]

Aah, I see, you're right, I forgot

[pulsar kiln]

Clear is dead

Intel cut that division a few months back.

[summer folio]

Really?

[pulsar kiln]

Otherwise it actually was legit

[summer folio]

Riperino

[pulsar kiln]

All good. Actually good distro for a server

[glad lichen]

10 years. 2015-2025. Basically a red hat release cycle

[candid glen]

Try the OS that has failed multiple times beforehand?

I'd much rather he use something like Mint, or Fedora (the one recommended to him by Linus Torvalds himself, patron saint of modern computing)

[pulsar kiln]

Things change over 5 years in Linux. So yeah..

Just because something was ass 5 years ago, by no means it's ass today. You really wright things off like that because of a failure many years ago?

Even in regular life, things might be complete ass 5 years ago. But companies can make improvements and change. Especially newer ones. Don't write them off so easily.

[candid glen]

Right, yeah, but surely there must've been better options than PopOS?

Like the one literally recommended to him by the creator of Linux himself?

[pulsar kiln]

Maybe so. Not denying it. But what would a regular user do? How would they get recommendations?

[glad lichen]

Zorin is really nice compared to default gnome-style in the ux.

[pulsar kiln]

Do you even know Linux enthusiasts as a regular user?

Growing up I sure didn't. I knew guys that loved tech. But it was windows or Mac. No one used Linux. I'm sure it's similar today.

[upper shard]

My motherboard sparked, is it fried?

[pulsar kiln]

Maybe you hear talking about Linux... So how do you choose today?

[candid glen]

Presumably, uh, ask people, and stuff

Like, there's r/Linux4Noobs for people new to Linux

There's also numerous Linux communities on Discord and elsewhere to ask for recommendations

[pulsar kiln]

So essentially chatgpt pulls this info already

So that's covered

Top recommend is indeed pop

[candid glen]

It's also prone to just hallucinating, as LLMs usually are

[pulsar kiln]

Well... He already discussed that

You're bringing up things he already talked about.

So he has done a great job if he already addressed this exact question

[candid glen]

right yeah but like
surely there must've been other distros he could've tried?

[pulsar kiln]

Of course

[candid glen]

Mint is to my knowledge basically the #1 recommendation for Linux noobs

[pulsar kiln]

There are thousands

[pulsar kiln]

For gaming?

[candid glen]

What does that even mean?

If it comes with Steam pre-installed?

You can just go to Discover and install Steam from there dude

[hardy kiln]

Hm

[pulsar kiln]

If you were to ask a community for a distro that you could use daily, but was also prioritizing gaming? I don't think you'd see mint in this list very much

[candid glen]

Right yeah, but what does a distro for gaming mean?

[pulsar kiln]

And this is where things get complicated

This is the Linux community in a nutshell

[candid glen]

Mint is just overall a good distro

[pulsar kiln]

I'm not saying mint is bad. Luke himself loves it and said it's great and he loves it and installed it again

But you have this insane fragmentation and opinion in the Linux community. You can't put it all on him

Even pulling from reddit, I mean, what? Popular opinion still seems to be pop

[candid glen]

Something I am putting on Linus is the fact he used a distro two times before and decided the third time must be the charm instead of, uh, using something else?

[pulsar kiln]

I'll just say this. Ubuntu burned me more then 3x in the early to mid 10's. I still went back in 19. Then I started to really learn Linux and things changed.

I also feel Linus doesn't do the full experience. Has he used MacOS on EVERYTHING for more than a month? Don't believe so. He really should use Linux for more than a month too. A month is not long enough to really know. And I believe moving between OS should indeed using your connections.

People moving to Mac only do so due to people they know using it. If they had issues they would ask those people.

I feel this is somewhat where things are slightly out of perspective.

[lament crystal]

Which unit

[mystic tundra]

the ai-ts any

[hardy kiln]

I assigned A tier on both

Worse than AI-T

Hallo

I had a floatplane related question, is there a discord channel where I can ask that ?

[fossil frost]

Are you a FP subscriber?

[iron tinsel]

no but I had a question about the pricing, kind of an ick thats been bothering me really xD

[fossil frost]

Then just ask in here

[iron tinsel]

O am i allowed to do that ?

[fossil frost]

There's a private FP channel for fp subscribers. So your only choice is to ask here or the forums

[iron tinsel]

As long as its allowed !

[full fossil]

Hi all, I;m new on here 😃

[iron tinsel]

Basically its about this line in the youtube membership video where they say its cheaper to get floatplane

Its actually 270% more expensive for me to get float plane XD. Youtube memberships are less than $3 here

Was asking if they could get me a discount to make this claim true

Its been icking at me since i saw the video and i HAD to ask lol

like a $1.5 sub ? anyone ? lol

[junior wyvern]

my system only uses 7.3gb ram idle with nothing open, i have 32gb, thats decent right?

[winged spire]

No

[graceful mortar]

Hmm, did $150 in 2008. ($230 today). So I think $250 is likely this time, especially with LNG implosion. 5% per day is a nice ROI with compounding.

Gonna need it too to survive the food price hikes, and the goods costs.

I feel for Europe, y'all already pay like $10 USD, gonna be $25+ 👀. Don't worry, we will be over $7 in USA.

[winged spire]

Us doesn’t use too much Iranian oil

Russia has their ghost fleet set up and waiting like a week before the first strikes wanting to take over supply for China and India

[winged spire]

(This war was the Worst kept secret ever)

[graceful mortar]

Doesn't matter, The oil market is global. so even though it may come out of Alaska there's no rule that says you have to sell it to Americans for less, You sell it to the highest bidder.

Now if the United States still had a national oil company like many other countries do then yes you can protect the United States from global energy prices. Butt Rockefeller... Soo yeah ..

Hell they can and actually do turn tankers around for an extra $0.50 a barrel all the time.

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, I guess the US was, commandeering ghost vessels that were skirting sanctions... I wonder if they have the guts? I know they just basically blackmailed defense companies that they will DPA them if they don't triple advanced weapons production in the next 30 days.

Crazy timeline. Feels like AI started it all with DRAM, GPU's, etc. crazy how a card that was born to make 3D graphics on 1024x786 has morphed into this 🤯.

Wait, why they just pour the oil out Should have at least captured it.

Well, considering energy prices in oil has never skyrocketed this quickly.... I don't think it'll be isolated to just golf

it's gulf

It's like two friends that aren't really part of yalls 2 seperate friend group.. both these independent fin groups learn to live with each other but don't really like each other.... Then those two they don't really fit in that are like the third wheels of each group they start fighting ....

And you're like whatever 🤷‍♂️ don't involve me... And then that other groups lil friend starts throwing mud at you... Now everybody got to jump in... LITERALLY what's happening.

[graceful matrix]

But won't mater much

[graceful mortar]

What was it when week ago versus today.

[graceful matrix]

Yes

[graceful mortar]

Well technically this isn't a "war", do u mean the one in Europe?

[winged spire]

I’m paying exactly as much to charge my car as I was 2 years ago

[graceful matrix]

Driving is gold

[graceful mortar]

So 1.6 to 2.9?

[graceful matrix]

This they want to end it bc pointless or idk

[graceful mortar]

Only because electricity costs have a lag built in that's usually yearly.

[graceful matrix]

Ye its expensive

[graceful mortar]

So you're talking about the stuff that happened over the last week or do you mean the stuff that's been going on for years that was supposed to be over very quickly?

[graceful mortar]

What was it in June 2008?

[graceful matrix]

During Russia oil stop it just hit 2 per liter

[graceful matrix]

Market crash

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, That was pretty hard on Europe. And now with 20% of natural gas production completely turned off from the global market it's going to continue to get worse because you guys really wanted to move away from oil.

[graceful matrix]

Fast here , but long stairrs

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, and oil completely blew the roof off of previous records

[graceful matrix]

To solar and wind mills

[graceful mortar]

Oh, yeah that was worded poorly

[graceful matrix]

Can we get much higher

[graceful mortar]

I was just stating you guys were made a big transition from sort of heavy crew to natural gas which is more environmentally friendly and then been leaning heavily on renewables but the shop came before you guys completely transitioned.

[graceful mortar]

.... Yes!

[graceful matrix]

Nuclear is good but to expensive

[graceful matrix]

Idk what they do up there

People aren't happy

No one is

[graceful mortar]

Soo in 2008 oil hit $147 oil is currently at $90 ... $150 (2008) is ~ $231 (2026) .... This is different.

Europe was cut off from Russia, Iran has now closed the straight and attacked anything in range which is disrupted the global energy market.

Which to be clear never has more than about 72 hr supply moving in it at any point in time so a supply shock hits hard.

I was kind of tongue in cheek but looking at the data honestly no. The highest fuel prices we had was 2022 and it was $5.90.... people have already warned that we are going to break past $7 and not just in a couple of months ... Well before summer!

[winged spire]

Nuclear is only expensive because we don’t build enough

[graceful matrix]

How long would it take if Iran could not more attacke these oil chips to regulate the prices?

[graceful mortar]

Here is what is truly scary .... This is all happening during a affordability crisis in the largest consumer market in the world.... The top 10% of the US is doing 45% of the goods buying.

[graceful mortar]

3-4 MONTHS

At least

[graceful matrix]

Hella Long

[graceful mortar]

Mad facts!

[graceful matrix]

France is mostly

Germany don't want to bc of the danger

[winged spire]

One off custom designs and parts are expensive, a factory line producing dozens or 100s of these parts will dramatically drop the costs

[graceful mortar]

So even if the strait immediately opened ... you already have a natural gas center offline that does 20% of the global ... It takes two weeks AFTER repairs to even spin it up to get the natural gas back to a liquified form.... repairs are probably going to take 3 to 4 months and that's IF they can even get a hold of the parts and a lot of these mega industrial things The parts aren't available You have to have them made...

The only real way that I can explain sort of this large industrial scale stuff... If a plane Burns to the ground or something, I cannot immediately go to Boeing and say hey I need a new plane next week.... It's 5 to 7 years...

[winged spire]

And that’s why Germany is failing

It’s pathetic

[graceful matrix]

What happened in 2019 q4?

[graceful mortar]

The problem is is we truly do need safe for alternatives. Chernobyl proved that cheap is not something that you shouldn't choose when it comes to reactor design..

Fukushima showed that the one of the most technologically cutting-edge and advanced countries could not and ultimately did not mitigate risk (Yes tepco was told yes they could have but still it happened)

We need molten salt. My understanding is the issue with molten salt is it is less productive. But it literally cannot melt down!

[winged spire]

Covid

I guess

[graceful matrix]

Prob all home and no clue how to work at home

[winged spire]

It’s Truly pathetic

[graceful mortar]

The worst part about Fukushima.. The worst meltdown was reactor one which was the older design... That had a completely passive cooling system designed for exactly The disaster.... But because nobody had tested the system in 30 years they did not understand that the valve was only partially open.... Meanwhile they were trying to not destroy the other reactor and were flipping valves on and off to prevent possible damage from low pressure... Reactor one should have never melted down at Fukushima.

[graceful matrix]

Idk and infrastructure is meh schols are 2005 or older in equipment

[winged spire]

They put the emergency generators on the basement of an area prone to tsunamis

Like are you fucking stupid 😂

Water flows DOWN

[graceful matrix]

Just build sponges around

[graceful mortar]

Well to be fair, The original design assumed that the tsunami would be only 60% the height of the seawall. It wasn't until after the plant was completely built that a university study showed that the seawall was about 40% too low.

But TEPCO was warned 8 years early that the generators run a vulnerable place... And did nothing.

[graceful matrix]

Speed build it to 0%

[graceful mortar]

Man I miss the 1980's when we literally put executives in jail for a for actions that happened at their companies!

[graceful matrix]

Money and corruption or idk

[winged spire]

Just like the Russians were warned about the issues with RBMK reactors

And they literally ripped the pages out of the book

[graceful mortar]

Some of it was budget, actually almost all of it was budget. And the fact of the matter was the plant was designed to be tsunami so people were delusional..

[graceful matrix]

In Germany was a fake company names flowtec

[graceful mortar]

Well you have to remember that USSR power came from the world BELIEVING that the USSR was powerful.

[graceful matrix]

Guessing gone wt9ng

[graceful mortar]

It was on the to-do list

[graceful matrix]

It's just strange prototype and rushed system for military

[graceful mortar]

And that's kind of something you see a lot They couldn't really shut down the plant the moment they found this out because Japan needed the power... Which meant that because they allowed the plant to continue to operate things like this became less priority.

But if you were to say nope the plans on safe shut it down immediately all of a sudden it becomes a big enough issue to where people start to care

[graceful matrix]

I say that prototype vehicle are more interesting than production ones are

[graceful matrix]

More powah lead to stuff that should or shouldn't happen

[graceful mortar]

The only reason that MSRs have not taken to stranglehold? Maintenance cost!

Legit, Linus would have less problems if he just used Arch with archinstall at this point

Arch is one of those distros I would never recommend to a newbie, but on the other hand jesus christ

[fossil frost]

Linus is fucking up on purpose. because "look, everything went well and we had no problems" is a shit video that nobody will watch... "look at how fucking stupid everything is and how many things went wrong", engages both sides.. the windows people will watch so they can laugh at linux, and the linux people will comment about how stupid everything they are doing is.. both drive engagement, both increase LMGs bottom line

LTT is a "Reality TV" show. its scripted reality, its not real-real

all scripts for all videos are designed to create engagement.. because thats how youtube works

[alpine gale]

Excuse me, but I think your comment was written just to create engagement, because that's how humans conversing with each other works - I am highly offended and would like to file a report! /s 😅

[fossil frost]

your reply is obviously rage bait, with that being said, i, as a human, am unable to control myself, and will respond in the same way

[alpine gale]

See, we understand each other. Nothing to see here. Carry on, carry on. You may go about your business. As you were. You don't want to sell me death sticks.

[fossil frost]

now.. allow me to share with you all.. a link to a product i highly value, and that i have been using for a long time, and i am absolutely not bringing it up now because i have been paid several £1000s to do so.. i bring it up because i truely believe in it..

[alpine gale]

Seriously though, I mostly see this as true. While I have no way to know what's scripted on purpose and what's real, the fact is one must play the social media algorithm in order to remain relevant. When you read between the lines, sometimes you pickup on certain things... Like how all the YouTuber VPN ads are just a giant oligopolistic pyramid scheme, albeit not one that's a scam, of course - after all, you do receive a real service... It just might not be as useful as originally advertised.

[fossil frost]

im not saying i blame any of the creators for having to script their videos in a certain way.. its their job, their ability to pay for their bills depends on it... its the people on the other side of the screen that need to be smarter and realise that youtube is literally just a TV show, the same as any other TV show, and stop believing everything they see/hear/read

[graceful mortar]

1 month 20% march 2022, .... in the past WEEK we are up literally 30% .... 7 days 30% fuel increase.
the issue is in the US fuel coast has always been an excuse to hike profits ... i mean transfer costs to US consumers... who power the word economy....
who are already in an affordability crisis with 50% of adults Cost burdened on housing ( meaning they in a dangerous financial position based on their housing % of income) .
I hope food banks are prepared, Median income is $45,140. Food cost is $400 per month, housing avg $2,200 per month... they cant handle another 2008 style 40% food cost increase, the last time fuel prices went parabolic.
I'm worried.

[oak pier]

It’s gonna be a rough one

[kind vine]

hell yeah

[graceful mortar]

i already know people with full time jobs who get all their food exclusively from charity after they went through the 30% rent hikes in 2022, that were later to be proven as Price Fixing by a "software provider" (collusion)... rents have come down slightly,
but still no recovered from their little "how much are you REALLY willing to pay to have a safe space to sleep" experiment.
meanwhile you have people who signed mortgages based on the 15% year on year price increases, who now are screwed.

[graceful mortar]

or affordable child care so you can TRY and work your way though the price increases
childcare cost are WELL over 30% for families (need both parents to work to afford formula) Federal government says over 7% is "excessive".. Daycare is now $1,600 - $2,000 per child per month.

[kind vine]

we need a CB rn

[kind vine]

but tbh not everyone is a parent, many would be struggling to just be getting by

[graceful mortar]

don't need to look far to understand why ...
Cost of a home is up 50%, mortgages rates have never been this high in combination with prices this high (inflation adjusted). meanwhile childcare costs are up 600% .. this timeline makes NO SENSE.

[graceful mortar]

yeah

The U.S. birthrate is at an all-time low, and a large part of the drop comes from the youngest women. For the first time, almost half of the country’s 30-year-old women are childless.
This doesn't work in the USA with how our social services are structured!

[kind vine]

The world’s birthrate among many other countries is at an all time low

[graceful mortar]

yeah, median income $45,140 FDA says "thrifty" (bare minimum survival, food from scratch) food is $350 per person. housing is $2K avg. after taxes you are looking at $36,000 take home. so $7,800 left per year ... but not really because you still need to like shower and stuff...

[graceful mortar]

yes Japan comes to mind. but we need 3 workers for every person on social security to break even... doesn't work with declining birthrates. should have been invested in the 1990's in government bonds. the situation they are in rn is from stupidity.

30% in 7 days is wild.. and the refinery prices haevnt even hit yet 0.0

[graceful mortar]

oil is $113 rn, was $66 a week ago, and all prices are set by the price of diesel in the USA. i bet this makes people forget about DRAM pricing and it get free reign to get even more ridiculous.

RIP Europe, hope yall make it through okay, i know a few winters ago was hard, and this is a worse Energy Crisis.

[oak pier]

you act like it doesn’t already have free reign to be ridiculous

[graceful mortar]

i know, this just giev another excuse.

[graceful mortar]

hell HP said to expect large price hikes to drop their sales by double digits Year over Year, as DRAM has doubled its % in the BOM.

June 2030 cant come fast enough, just concerned i keep seeing the goalposts moved beyond reach.
HR looks at me crazy when they ask my salary expectations and I tell them $130,000.
they ask "based on what" ... well Panda express pays $54,00 starting wage. no experience needed. so i feel its a reasonable request.
they counter with $75,000 . LOL bye that's $45,000 in 2019 money.
like hell I'm going salary with 75+hr weeks for that AND a 7 day schedule 🤣🤣.
also you need $72,000 -$84,000 if you wanna keep housing cost below 30% here.

My mom is coming to visit in a couple weeks. What's a good couch co-op game I can play with her?

[alpine gale]

[wild musk]

🤔 Not sure she's going to be into that lol. She likes Galaga though

Oh shit, overcooked?

[alpine gale]

If you're doing Overcooked, just get PlateUp! instead. It's like Overcooked, but less chaos and more rogue-lite.

Castle Crashers was a bop too, though it's a bit older. Still a great classic though.

[wild musk]

I have Castle Crashers actually, never managed to play it with friends. I'll check out PlateUp! - less chaos sounds good but idk about roguelikes, I don't think I've finished any one I've played

But it's for hanging with my 71 year old mom for an hour, it doesn't need to have replayability haha

[alpine gale]

Unrailed was fun for a while. Portal 2 is always a great co-op game if they haven't played it yet.

[scarlet timber]

Biped and Lego Voyagers

although plateup is probably more casual and fits better

Also I wouldnt recommend portal 2 coop to someone that hasnt played portal

[exotic sierra]

Minecraft

[wild musk]

Apparently Untitled Goose Game has local co-op. That might be the right speed lol

[idle nymph]

Sorry buddy it's a secret

Only us Frenchie are allowed there

[idle nymph]

Speedrunners, moving out, portal 2

Speedrunners only if she's goated at videogames

[vapid smelt]

smh

[idle nymph]

Also almost all lego games lmao they're all great

[wild musk]

She's played Galaga once

[idle nymph]

Alright avoid speedrunners

Make her try Lego city and moving out.

Great games pretty fun to play with friends

Hey i bought a usb c to hdmi to stream downloaded content directly from my mobile to monitor but there is no audio coming from my mobile ( monitor without speakers ) can anyone tell me a fix for this

My phone is oneplus 9 pro 5g

[alpine gale]

Not at all. Discord caching is (and always had been) garbage. If your client doesn't load the available roles when the picklist appears after typing the @ character, it may not display everything it should. Why? Ask Discord. They make a wonderful product, but it's like Swiss cheese sometimes. 🤷

[median apex]

Idk what my grandma installed on her PC but she gets both McAfee and Symantec popups like this. Malwarebytes found nothing. Any ideas?

[fierce condor]

those are browser nonfictions... ( at least the top one )
the bottom, welll who knows

[civic fox]

typical chrome/edge notifs, revoke the perms for it. then go into installed apps in settings, and remove the virus we call McAfee

[harsh quartz]

Clear cache/cookies on whatever browser it is and they’ll go away

And tell her to not click sponsored links on Google

[median apex]

Thanks y’all! You’ve saved an old woman today 🙏

Is anyone good at evaluating a pc? helping a friend out and he wishes to know what would be a reasonable asking price.

You go to eBay sold listings for each part and add it up

can i send you?

I made a rough estimate on my own but idk how well that went.'

You need to be fucking boiled for using that advertisement pop up bullshit that doesn’t actually let you easily turn off all 100+ cookie types on your website stg

[fossil frost]

what?

[rain linden]

This thing

It’s THE WORST fucking cookie management modal ever created I wish warm pillows forever to people who created it

[fossil frost]

ohh, the standard accept/deny/granular banner that im legally required to have, and comes from google, because i have google analytics on there

[rain linden]

Did you know Google makes it impossible to turn off everything? You have to go through the entire list and turn every adv partner off yourself?

Blasphemy

There is no single Deny button there afaik

[fossil frost]

i just use ubolite, auto blocks most of that stuff anyway

[fossil frost]

let me look into it, there was/should be

[rain linden]

Noope. Google hates you. You have to turn all the “legitimate interest” toggles off yourself or it will literally sell your data regardless

The more you know

[winged spire]

anyone want to loan me 15k

[fossil frost]

try again plz

(google dont make that option easy to find to switch on)

[rain linden]

There we go

Thank you for actually caring

[fossil frost]

its an option to turn on, about 5 layers deep

[fossil frost]

i dont care, i was just bored

[rain linden]

Well you were open to getting bullied into fixing it so I consider that a win

[fossil frost]

also, it annoys me when there are no "deny" buttons on these things.. so it would annoy me if i was to use my own site without an ad blocker

[rain linden]

Google is a shithole of a company. Their ad engine should not fucking exist

Fuck them and their entire telemetry department as well as their UIUX people

Despicable teams

[fossil frost]

i have minimal ads on, just enough to cover the minimal AWS costs, and i have all the intents and anchors and other shit turned off..

i get emails every 2 weeks with google begging me to turn loads of other shit on.. and they get put in the bin

[royal hatch]

uh hi

no

[grim cloud]

Does anyone know when the wan backpack will be back in stock?

[worldly bear]

i did, and it says nothing about surveys for academic purposes

it’s not self-promotion or advertising

[harsh quartz]

I thought this was the post memes one and was very confused

Pattern recognition go brrrt

[worldly bear]

but still, i’m not sure as it’s still a link and some communities don’t allow links

[tender glade]

5. Absolutely no soliciting or self-promotion. It's not ok to ask for freebies here, nor is it ok to advertise things (eg. Discord bots, etc.). This rule also includes asking to become a moderator/asking for special Discord roles. You are allowed to ask for clarification about a role in-general, but not ask for it.

[alpine gale]

It is though. It's self-promoting / advertising a survey, of which who knows where the results will be stored or how they will be used. 🤷

[viscid imp]

Hi chat, how's everyone doing?

[random jolt]

cornbread 🌽 🍞

[astral sail]

As they stated, the survey is used for academic research. Quite commonly actually, on the server i moderate we get this type of a question often and they're not regarded as self promotion, because they're not promoting themselves in any way, they just want some data to support their work.

[astral sail]

You can DM me the link if you want, i can send it to some other communities and fill it out myself

[red matrix]

hi hi

ngl the server tag is a little freaky

[harsh quartz]

also as they stated, theres no guarantee that its actually used for that purpose, or what is being done with the information. Its also something thats fairly common here, and if it starts, thered probably be a lot of them, and we dont want that :P

and by we, i dont mean mods, i mean as someone who uses these chats

[young trench]

i mean its pretty brand new and unused as it seems

[full fossil]

[full fossil]
