got banned on my EU country subreddit for saying hamas dresses as civilians

reddit is probably the worst echo chamber of the internet

Blender is certainly a great software, but there are still remains of bad UI choices, for example how zooming works

https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/644/why-does-the...

They improved the UI already, but maybe they could improve it a little bit more. And this is not the only frustration, I constantly have to ask around for little things like that.

Also important to know, but late blender versions don't support old GPU, which is a bit sad: I can't use late blender version on my old thinkpad which only has a graphics chipset.

Care to give arguments?

Does Israel has the intent of genocide? I don't think so.

Does Hamas try to maximize civilian casualties with martyrdom? By meshing its combattants with civilians? Yes.

The Geneva convention, unfortunately, allows collateral to a certain extent.

Hamas also executed gazans several times.

Israel does have a very aggressive strategy, but labeling it a genocide doesn't help the Palestinian cause.

Words matter.

I read many people saying "it's just a PC", but I am a bit skeptical for now.

I will probably wait for reviews to see how it goes

I still feel very interested, though, but I would need to adapt some workflows that I have with paint.net for now

so the available software is a bit limited then

I can still customize and configure things, or not really?

does that mean I can't customize the OS, like shortcuts?

So SteamOS is just arch linux?

I guess there are important differences?

This is just wishful thinking

We don't have a good definition of intelligence

Also, the premise that this thing would take over, it's hard to reason why it would do so

Anthropocentrism is also problematic in this article.

I did not say everyone is a gamer, but it's still a big market share

valve is on the brink of replacing windows with steam for many people

it's probably not a big dent in market share, but it's probably a good tipping point

Feels like another bad idea from management born in the silicon valley

Thanks nuclear for subsidizing renewables

it's probably time to call those old retired programmers to ask them how to reduce software memory footprint

or to teach that again

weren't they already using repos for training?

I once asked on #ffmpeg@libera if the GPU could be used to encode h264, and apparently yes, but it's not really worth it compared to CPU.

I don't know much about video compression, does that mean that a codec like h264 is not parallelizable?

I got a thin raincoat, a thing I can roll and pack in my bag, I have been carrying it around for the last 10 years or so.

I think it was advertised as very water proof, like water would pearl on it.

It's probably full of PFAS, no idea if it has been leeching PFAS, but I know it's not very waterproof anymore, so that might be a worrying clue.

the obvious goal of that is to help kill those iranian drones

Bourdieu was ahead of his time.

People now identify themselves as belonging to a social class by subtle cues, it's like an unconscious messaging system to signal that you belong to some sort of club.

That's what "being raised right" means now.

It's now backwards to check if someone comes from a good or rich, noble family.

Instead, we check other subtle things.

Spend 5 min with anybody, and you can somehow know if that person can belong to your group of friends.

It's like animal checking each other' scents to accept them in a group.

Foucault was popular in the US, and had theories that were different but similar in concepts

Funny how much money is invested yet no proof those investments will yield profits

It's all make believe

I've heard a scientist say tinnitus also happens after waking up from a nap, not from a night's sleep

Can confirm

English is not my main language but this title confuses me

People constantly tell me "oh you're a dev it's easy to find work"

I'm a c++ dev, with excellent senior tests, but low experience, and no degree in France. 3 years without a job.

I yearn for a new pandemic.

Fortunately, I learned how to live without a job, found other things to do and how to live a life. Welfare is generous, and I have good savings.

Honestly I don't really want to work in software anymore. If there is a job offer and recruiters are calling me, I answer and I accept.

But I'm not applying to all positions I can see and I won't run after them.

Somebody finally picked up the login autofill bug, not sure it's production ready

Nothing will change until developed rich countries are starting to hurt.

And I don't think it's going to hurt enough in 10 or 20 years.

The pain will come slowly, people won't see it.

It's like going back to the middle age so slowly, that the population don't realize or feel it.

And honestly, wars and trump are making climate concerns so difficult to think about.

What if this was the plan, so those importers can make money?

More reason to build railways

Hardware is cheaper than programmers

Maybe one day that will change

I'm interested in storing cold, not heat

Storing cold during the night is probably more efficient

I thought about making ice blocks with a freezer on my balcony, probably not a good idea

Feels like acquiring GitHub was another way to hurt open source projects
