It's a wireless device that is burning battery making negotiations with itself and wasting precious bt bandwidth in the process, and since most of Linux Bluetooth stack is user space stuff provided by the wm/de managers it guarantees no console sound compatibility without another layer of work. I think I could live without a pre console system beep but the other issues are pretty major oversights.

I'm on a Windows N100 machine, 8gb ram, 1440p webview, lightweight. It runs just about anything else smoothly. It runs this page in an EndeavorOS partition in a vanilla Chrome fine.

...Which is opposite to most of my experiences, usually performance on this machine is reliant on very specific Intel windows drivers and it's a dog in linux.

also for clarity : when I say unviewable I don't mean it's gibberish -- I mean that that if I keep trying to scroll through it the FPS/load is such that Windows insists on closing the frozen window. The text looks fine.

more models should include a "Can you run the shader on this page?" to vet participation.

that said : this page is unviewable on an intel N processor.

Would you respect being eaten as part of the circle of life? What about your family?

Where is the line drawn?

Explain to me the difference between disrespect and being cattle-bolted through the skull.

When the fish is yanked out of the factory farm and suffocated in air or chilled and frozen alive do you think they experience this respect we're talking about? If so, where?

Does the operator say thanks to each fish before their brutal, agonizing, often prolonged for market death?

'respect' is about the most stupid thing I can think to bring up when referencing loss of life in animals.

It's a meta human concept that means nothing other than the mans approval of method -- it means nothing with regard to the animal or the suffering.

If you don't think parasite ridden flesh is gross then your meter needs recalibrating.

Even ancient man avoided parasites when possible. Parasites can kill you, regardless of how natural they are.

Dog shit and nightshade are part of the circle of life too, but they seem to be avoided by most.

Something being good because it's 'part of the circle of life', whatever that means, is as blind and irrational as 'all upf is bad by virtue of being defined as upf.'

Life isn't as simple as black and white.

No it isn't, it's something new born from ingesting that stuff... That's exactly why a lot of us can detect it from a mile away.

No human comments on meta formatting like that outside the deepest trenches of Apple/FB corporate stuff.

Reinforcing the strength of a future corporate product by doing their fact checking for them has got to be one of the weakest reasons for correctness and precision I've ever come across.

Please use a better example for the virtues of being correct, there are heaps better reasons.

Sailors, at least the ones I know, are often superstitious because 1) marine tradition is filled with legends and beliefs 2) the sea is cruel and unforgiving.

No one wants to be sinking while remembering that they forgot to christen the boat , they just killed a seabird, and they stepped onto the boat with their left foot.

My point: I see marine superstition as a cultural affect rather than a sign of any such other psychology.

It's one of my favorite short stories, but it gets 'squicky' pretty fast given that one of the first sexual encounters explored in the new system is about getting finger banged by an animated skeleton during a torture-fuck session..

To be honest I think the sex adds almost nothing to the story except detail and world embellishment--one could skip the scenes entirely and not miss much.

People are using huge capable LLMs to answer things like "what's five percent of 250"; I don't see a big leap in using them to skip APIs.

On the other side, a lot of user access methods are more able than an API call equivalent, people already exploit things like autohotkey to work around such limitations -- if people are already working around things that way that must indicate the presence of some sort of market.

It kind of just shifted distinctions.

Powerhouse is a common way to describe an athlete, a high performance engine, or a very strong stock buy -- it has just moved away from the infrastructural uses.

Fine, kudos to you for being so pliable, but I hope you and parent realize that's essentially the road to nuspeak.

Our language matters more than just linguistically, it matters culturally.

So, when someone wants to delete a word or usage, well it requires a lot of thought about the implications.

Sometimes it's a good thing, a lot of times there is a charged , sometimes political, motivation behind the desire for change.

Kinda pathetic for a MIT grad, tbh.

Personal attacks are shite, especially when they dig into someone's background for extra 'bite'.

P.s. what rock have you been living under where you have a preconception that all MIT graduates are ethical white knights that share all of your own opinions?

It's one of the most varietal student bodies at a school that forks people majorly into military programs and research labs.. to expect harmonious homogeny regarding ethical opinions from the graduates is ridiculous.

Have you found the things you say to actually be true?

I've worked with people that were passionate about the art their entire life , and I've worked with on-job trained people in equivalent positions -- the difference in code quality/structure/logic is pretty telling between the two camps.

It certainly makes one think that either the skill set is 'special', or that we're really in the experimental trial phase of learning how to teach it to those otherwise uninterested.

So someone pitches you a floating city complete with amusement park, hotel, entertainment venues and restaurants that trots around the world dropping you off at nearly everything interesting on the way, and you think it sounds boring?

I don't like cruise ships for reasons, but they never struck me as 'boring '.

A sold out Rolling Stones concert doesn't suddenly make them more relevant.. Green Day has the luxury of having a fan base that's not entirely dead of old age yet.
