Half the OC memes here use GenAI art. It’s already happening.

Eh, I’m kinda with him on the “whole new category of content” thing. Put it in its own category so it’s not mixed in with everything else.

Well, the good news is since this kind of hypersonic flight is not efficient or affordable, while there are 150k daily commercial flights, these aircraft will probably fly more like 2-6 times daily for their specific wealthy passengers that would pay obscene amounts of cash to save a few hours.

The Concord only flew 4 times daily at its peak.

To put this in perspective, you could have breakfast in London and make it to New York in time for a mid-morning coffee, with the journey taking just 1.5 hours.

Uh, let me do the math on that one…

If I eat breakfast in London at 8am, and then immediately board a Hypersonic jet to New York at 8:30am, I’ll arrive in NYC at 3pm, having missed mid-morning coffee by about 4 hours before I ate breakfast…

They’re still available on the big ass hard drive I downloaded them all to.

Yeah, I love drowning in a sea of Nazis, Pedophiles, and Crypto bros with no redeemable content.

You could try starting those niche communities here instead of giving free content for Spez to monetize.

You don’t have to know how to write your own software to install another App Store on Android.

Amazon has their own competing app store, with boomer-friendly instructions for installing it:

And Amazon’s phones and tablets use their own “FireOS” remix of Android without Google Play Store available.

I prefer the OS being open to third-party installers over any legal mandate that app stores not being allowed to curate their own store’s offerings. Closing off Google’s app store to competing app stores only makes sense if other app stores have no reasonable access to customers, which is clearly not the case.

Complete bullshit that they’re throwing this ruling at Android when iOS doesn’t even let you download and install a third-party app without either jailbreaking, or hooking up your iPhone in developer mode to a computer running xcode. Apple treats Cydia like it’s malware. Google perfectly tolerates Amazon and F-Droid running their own operations.

That’s only ~5% of a gigabit line.

qbittorrent-nox is my go-to. No need for a desktop UI, just give me the web-ui. That’s all I use anyway, and I can manage it from my phone wherever I am.

Yeah, with that many users you need like $30/month on AWS…

The guy who set it up probably quit, and nobody knows how it works now.

The prohibition on public exposure of breasts by women and girls over 10 years old is now gone from the city code as of this week.

I never thought I’d be conflicted on this, because I am absolutely of the opinion that female breasts and nipples shouldn’t be treated as exclusively sexual body parts, especially since men have them too and we aren’t held to that standard.

But being confronted with the idea that 10-17 year old girls can now bare their breasts in public without restraint reminds me that treating female bodies as non-sexual is great as an ethos, but it is not reflective of reality, and that this specifically could be problematic.

But how to solve it? You can’t make it an 18+ only rule, or you’re further entrenching the idea that female breasts are exclusively sexual and adult, but if you let teens and tweens go topless, they will be sexualized / ogled / photographed by adult men, and that’s a bad precedent to set as acceptable. We usually treat photographs of underage female breasts as a form of CSAM, but can we still say that if we’re treating female breasts as non-sexual? This is an interesting new line to draw, given societal attitudes on adolescent nudity.

Regretfully, I believe that the true problem is men. The reason women have to cover their breasts is because they have to protect themselves from men. I’m all for bodily liberation and the de-sexualization of female existence, but we need an overhaul on our society’s attitudes towards women in general if we’re going to get there. Maybe bare breasts help get us there. Maybe girls need to learn the right way how to kick a man in the balls before they go topless.

it blows my mind how one person can do it.

One person can’t do it. When you’re making FOSS you’re standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn’t coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn’t just one guy developing this app specifically.

I’m gonna assume you’re just a really sad person who hates everyone, and this comment is off-topic, because there’s no way you’re in the Piracy community complaining about a Nintendo leak.

Anyone who wants to fix this can help fix it, but people are just making demands of an unpaid maintainer. The devs can run this project the way they want to. If you don’t like it, don’t use Ventoy.

The people comparing this to the xz exploit are out of line. xz was a library that was deeply embedded in a lot of software. Ventoy is an IT tool used to boot live OSes. Not even remotely the same attack surface.

Blobs in the source tree are not ideal, but people need to pick their battles.

Is the solution to male loneliness ripping your father’s shrieking soul from the depths of the underworld and crudely resurrecting him in defiance of God’s will?

If that’s the extent of their differences, then they aren’t very different…

Explain how they are different.

Future product plans include ability to link multiple units together to create a synchronized play session with multiple users.

This is like when Republicans complain that Biden detained record numbers of border-crossers, and I’m like “Isn’t that what you guys want him to do?”.
