Yeah, i think the correct response to planned obsolescence from the side of computer manufacturers is to exclusively buy products from companies who have produced long-living machines in the past.
That gives manufacturers an incentive to make the machines they produce last longer, instead of shorter to sell newer products more frequently.
You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory?
That’s actually done via journalctl today, most of the time. Which extracts the logs out from a database instead of a text file. It has some useful features, such as slicing a specific time interval from the logs.
No, I dont want to buy your 2014 1TB drive for 25€ + shipping.
well damn that’s a steal. I’d buy it.
I mean, that was his goal. Either destroy trust to weaken our position globally for the benefit of someone else,
It’s not for the benefit of someone else though. Trump wants to intentionally destroy the US government by destroying its credibility both within and abroad. He does this by cutting foreign aid and pissing off all the US’ former allies, and by terrorizing the US population.
His goal is to destroy the US as an institution because his key voters, which are southeners, think that they were forced to partake in the United States against their will back in the civil war from 1800, and that they should have a right to secede, and if it’s not given to them freely, they have to destroy the entire US just to get away from it.
exFAT is great for compatibility but it doesn’t have journaling, so if there’s a power outage while writing to a file, you can expect the file to get corrupted and unusable (which sucks). apart from that, yeah, it’s great.
what i can recommend if you’re working in a big organization or group or sth is to use a network drive, i.e. a drive that’s accessed over the network. you typically don’t have problems there.
yeah i can report i’ve dealt with TB-sized external NTFS-formatted disks for years and never had issues with linux with them :)
Printing money does not create wealth but printing money and then spending it on public construction projects (like public transport) does create jobs and wealth for the general population.
That is not how economics work either.
Inflation is kinda irrelevant, what matters is the people’s buying power, i.e. how much they can afford to buy based on their wages.
And the wages are determined on the labor market based on supply and demand: If there’s high demand for human workers, wages are higher.
And demand for human workers largely depends on how much employment opportunities the state creates. Like, if the state just begins to randomly construct public transport and public infrastructure and more energy production sites and also clean water pipes and lots of other stuff, that creates construction jobs and drives up wages which means people can buy more stuff.
That has literally nothing to do with how much money the government prints, and it doesn’t really matter if the cost of bread is $2 or $20 as long as your wages rise just as quickly.
Money is fictional anyways. If they want to, Moscow can print literally arbitrary amounts of Rubels. There’s no way they’re gonna bankrupt.
What could be interesting, however, is see how the economic situation unfolds for everyday people.
four people disagreeing because they think if people’s place in society is not tied to their productivity, then all the lazy foreigners are gonna come in and take our spot. only our heroic (self-sacrificing) eternal push to increase our bosses’ pockets are enough of an excuse to consume oxygen and continue to eat (massive /s)
Mine even sold their nice old house to have a new smaller one
that’s exactly what my mother would do.
she has this mindset that we need constantly changing products. she says it’s like with clothing, if you always wear the same cloth, people will get tired of it and you need to buy new clothes all the time. she also says that spending a lot of money stimulates the economy. (she’s actually right about this, only that it’s her - no, our money that she’s spending and the rich peoples economy where it’s going to).
i hate these kind of people. in my experience, these are people who are unable to not buy unnecessary stuff and just be content with how things are today.
I imagine that’s how it is/was for a lot of rulers. The feudal lord doesn’t have to be smart, he’s just a representative. The priests and diplomats and businessmen in the background tell them what to do. It’s beneficial for both sides because you can have a lot of influence without actually having to expose yourself to the public.
My guess is that they didn’t really intend to keep it secret anyways. Probably many many people knew about it (at least many thousands!) because otherwise how did Epstein get his clients? His clients would have to have known about his business, and that means that even more people (who were not clients) had to know about it too.
My guess is everybody kinda knew it but nobody bothered to tell the public, because why would you burden the public with what happens at the nobility’s castles?
I think a better way might be that browsers can auto-decline all cookies.
Why would the user have to click on each cookie banner separately?
more like: every goddamn day the newspapers only report about the bad things that happen, because good things make no money.
well yeah in my personal environment, the people i talk to IRL, lots of people complain about the supposedly overly-strict GDPR rules and about the fact that it makes management quite a bit more challenging, because they have to be careful about what information to put/share where. Like, even if you make a public google sheets document as a calendar for a small company/school where a group of people can enter their email addresses, that’s already a GDPR violation, because personal data becomes accessible by other people. As a result, you theoretically would need very elaborate custom-forms, where only you can enter information but nobody else can see it. It’s a hell of a lot of work, IMHO. So yeah, people have semi-meaningfully complained about it.
oh yeah i’ve heard about it.
basically, people got pissed with cookie banners so much that they complained to the EU government about it.
the EU government said “well, if people don’t like the choice to allow or deny cookies, i guess we’ll un-do these regulations”.
I think this is a very good example how people are always complaining, no matter what the government does.
If the government makes a law, a group of people complain. If the government later removes that same law that people kept whining about, another group of people complains. What to do?
Btw, another nice example is worldwide free trade. When it was introduced starting in the 1970s, people were very loud about the fact that they didn’t like it because they feared competition from foreign markets, companies moving abroad (offshoring), and jobs at home being lost. That is largely exactly what happened (though free trade also had many positive sides like exchange of technology and culture). 50 years later, world governments (especially in the west) want to un-do free trade, and people complain again about it, citing a loss of free exchange of ideas as a reason. What to do.
thanks, i figured it out. i had multiple older versions of youtube-dlp and yt-dlp installed on my machine. once i removed them, it worked.
the contents of my ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf file is now:
script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=/home/user/.bin/yt-dlp
I’m out of the loop. How is she a fascist?
