It is getting a little obnoxious. But still mostly on the good side.

To be fair, Diogenes was a cunt of the highest order. Love his work; but not a good role model.

You don’t only have to look to living people:

• Socrates
• Marcus Aurelius
• Zeno
• Albert Einstein

Living People:

• Mark Rober
• Terry Crews
• Niall Breslin
• You and me, be the good role model you want to see.

I fixed this, tell the grandmother, I’ll only send the pictures etc via signal.

Set it up for her, put it on the home screen.

It depends on what you are looking for.

Look at the classics, some can be a bit heavy. But there is generally a reason they are considered classic stories.

Legend!

I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.

Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.

It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.

I have office 2007 on a winxp VM, I haven’t had to use it in a few years, but it is there as a back up

As someone with a 5yo.

Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.

As someone else mentioned, don’t baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)

My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don’t use instructions.

Came to say this exact thing.

FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.

Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.

Hell my home server, running on low end Xeon hardware had uptime numbers around 3 years…then there was a power cut. Next down day was another power cut a year or so later. Total around 8 years running with 5 outages, all but one due to power loss (other was Ubuntu 16.04 - 18.04 upgrade).

Just updated to Ubuntu server 20.04 so uptime is only 7 days at this point.

Nuclear Fusion and “net zero emissions” doesn’t really make sense.

What I think you are trying to say is that fusion is nearing the point where net energy is possible (that is getting more energy out then the amount of energy put in to create the reactions in the first place). Fusion is not practically close yet, but there are tantalizing hints that we are close.

See this from 2022; the national ignition facility produced more energy that was impacted on the target (2MJ in 3MJ out), but this doesn’t take into account the huge inefficiencies in the laser generators to produce that 2MJ laser pulse.

There are a bunch of fusion experiments that are hitting massive temperatures (120 - 150MK) which is starting to get into the range where practical fusion could occur, the center of the sun is approx 15MK but also has massive gravity to encourage fusion.

So fusion is still a decade away at least, but we understand the science much more completely now. We know the problems (well a bunch of them) and it is mostly now a very difficult engineering problem rather a problem of understanding the science.

What is to stop Biden from cancelling the upcoming election?

Being now his powers are effectively unchecked, couldn’t he just call off the election as an official act. Rather than stupid shit like ordering assassination or deploying the military, just say “I’m cancelling the election until such time this ruling is overturned and a constitutional amendment is enacted that states that the president is not immune from criminal prosecution”
