I also like to breathe hot leaf aroma, though from a different leaf.

Thank God the protest people are here. They were constantly on Reddit for the last four years saying how Russians need to protest against the dictatorship. Good thing Russians heard that and had the massive protest of Bolotnaya in 2011 and endless protests in the far-east and northern regions in particular. As we know, Russia is a thriving democracy now.

To add to what the above commenter said: afaik Grub allows specifying kernel parameters at boot by pressing some hotkey. You could type in the string from memtest86 if you find what the parameter should be called (or add the
memtestparameter instead). - Comment on I love science 2 days ago:
Ah, ok. Then math isn’t science, it’s just a tool for physics, computer science, and such. Also physics isn’t science, it’s just a tool for engineering and biology. Biology isn’t science, it’s just a tool for medicine and agriculture.
- Comment on I love science 2 days ago:
Physics, engineering, statistics, economics, and mathematically modeling in general aren’t science? Big claim there, bud.

Watching races becomes way better if one plays some sim racing games and gets into adjusting the car for the track. Racing is a rare sport that one can somewhat experience themselves without athletic training.

Afaiu DHT works for any torrent. It’s not as quick as a tracker, but it works. I download some torrents by exclusively using the DHT.

Wikipedia still recommends against primary sources as authoritative sources of information (recommending secondary sources instead), which is not great.
Indeed, Wikipedia should cite Trump and Musk on the actions and views of Trump and Musk, because who would know better about them than Trump and Musk.

that published article is a primary source.
It’s not a primary source, that’s the whole point. It’s a secondary source, which takes information from the primary source and publishes it with some degree of verification.
The whole ‘no primary sources’ thing is simple if one considers that Trump and Musk are the primary sources on their own doings.

Archive.org provide web seeding, and funnily the files typically quickly download from that before even finding any other seeds, defeating the point of torrents.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing? 3 days ago:
Afaiu if you have a web server, you can web-seed from it, no need for trackers. Archive.org has that for every upload, although they also have a tracker of their own.

- Comment on Ska ftw 1 week ago:
The New York CBGB scene preceded the London scene, from what I can tell, and there was also the Cleveland scene. Punk seems to have been imported to London from NY by Malcolm McLaren, band manager and store owner, rather than working-class folks. Dunno who played punk in the UK before Sex Pistols.
UK punk was of course influenced by the rude boy and skinhead subcultures, but I don’t think that manifested musically. Pure punk-rock doesn’t quite have any of ska’s danceable quality that can’t be traced to rock’n’roll and garage rock instead.
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 week ago:
I can’t claim deep familiarity with that era, but I’ve never heard of punk being derived from ska. Garage rock, Velvet Underground, The Stooges were the progenitors of punk, and in neither those nor Ramones, New York Dolls, Suicide, or Sex Pistols can I hear any traces of ska. It’s rather that these bands, Ramones in particular, were returning to raw energy of rock-n-roll and garage rock, against the fancy glam-rock.
Ska, reggae and dub certainly influenced post-punk, and in turn punk influenced the second wave of ska, both emerging almost simultaneously around '78-79.

Goth-rock started from post-punk, with Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees following the lead of Joy Division. Not sure what kind of goth-rock you mean that didn’t start there.

One Step Beyond
Which is a cover of Prince Buster’s track from 1964.
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 week ago:
Millie Small’s ‘My Boy Lollipop’ is the original ska song that made the genre popular outside Jamaica.
Of the second-wave aka two-tone ska: The Selecter’s ‘On My Radio’, Madness’ ‘Night Boat To Cairo’, The Specials’ ‘A Message To You Rudy’.
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 week ago:
The three that are not punk itself. Emo and goth both came out of punk, and ska was fused with punk by the time of two-tone.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 1 week ago:
Many athletes also wreck their bodies and play with potential disability or death, while not gaining knowledge and experience for any other career, aside from coaching. And they have to retire at thirty-something at best. So having athletes presumes some kinda compensation for the rest of their lives and support for their family.
It’s enough to see Muhammad Ali try to speak in interviews late in his career after he’s been banged on the head too many times, to grok the tradeoff.

Oh, so your approach to arguments is just to deny that you said what you said? Amazing skills there, jackass. You replied to a thread claiming that “All AI is humanity-ending garbage” claiming it does that “by feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.”, and then you say you didn’t say that. So you just lie, and that’s your entire argument? Maybe learn to follow the most basic of argumentation logic before chiming in next time.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
You have trouble following your own train of thought, apparently. You replied in a thread claiming “All AI is humanity-ending garbage”, claiming it causes “Brain rot, job destruction, increased inequality, massive acceleration in global warming, massive decrease in the quality of critical systems, societal and economic collapse”, and then you ask me where you said what you said. Lay off the drugs before you completely fry your brains, dumbass.

You have no idea what an ‘AI’ is, so idk how any of that tech background helped if you’re still that ignorant and dumb.

Explain how an AI calculating protein foldings feeds people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, and whatnot.

From your votes and lack of response I can indeed surmise that you’re a hypocrite schmuck who’s never had a remote semblance of an opinion about AI until it’s become fashionable to hate it, whereupon you promptly jumped on the bandwagon and started shouting about how all AI ruins the planet, regardless of the nuances that are too much for you to think of. It’s remarkable how loud idiots like you can hijack the conversation. Just cry wolf as much as you can, that’s enough for the entirety of the cognitive capacity of yourself and people like you. You’re an embarrassment for both your nation and humanity as a whole.
