Is it really that bad, though? Compared to spending hours fighting with 3rd party drivers or wine or etc. every time there’s a change to the software in question, restarting to a different partition is pretty trivial. Configure both OSs to mirror non-sys files to network storage or a shared partition (and there’s plenty of ready-made utilities for this) and it’s honestly a pretty easy solution to being stuck with “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD” software.

I get where you’re coming from, I do. The only reason I’m saying this is because the difficulty in dual booting is often brought up when discussing switching, and it really discourages people that are curious about trying linux (but are still tied to the apple/M$ world) from making the switch when they’re constantly told how hard it is to use both.

Borderlands only lost $80 million???

Yeah, who hooks a portable generator up to their laptop without using a surge protector??

Tbf I’ve had several cats that went -bonkers- for broccoli…

Spoiler alert: It’s way better than it was, but it’s still not very good.

At least the name gives you a really good idea of the philosophy driving their UX…

edit: no hang on I meant “the people that choose the name also define the project’s philosophy”

Also, ya’ll, movie theaters have security cameras in the theater. Usually they choose to be discrete about things that might be going on, but maybe make certain choices with this kept in mind…

Yo we don’t care when americans shoot american children, why should we care if someone else wants to get in on it? No way to prevent this. ('sides, with a name like Omar Mohammad Rabea the kid had to have been brown)

There’s a ton of IT workers on lemmy (go figure). Being aware of the current scams is quite valuable, since it means both that you can warn your users and you know what to look for when they inevitably ignore your warning and do it anyways.

We have standards and keep away from mob justice, public shaming, the death penalty and indentured servitude slavery.

Gee, I wonder how ya’ll got those vaunted standards. Weird. Could have been just about anything, couldn’t it.

Seriously, the US has a lot of our own shit to get together, but lets not throw too many stones over the moral superiority of european countries either. Especially right now, in the face of the growing influence of far-right parties across the, ahem, “civilized” world. The US is a whole omnibus of cautionary tales right now, it might be worth hearing one or two of them out instead of going directly to “unbelievable cliche”.

… seven toes??

Fun background info: Trusted Representatives don’t actually carry their shard of the key (to prevent exactly this scenario), they have (iirc) a keycard which allows them to access the secure storage medium where their different pieces are stored.

“Upright and conscious” is my goto response to casual questions. I also preference almost every sentence with some modulation of “Yeah”, meaning everything from “Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly” to “Yeah, bro you sure you wanna do this?” to “yeahh so the cops are here and I told you so”"

Pretty much, I’ve had mama cats try to take care of everything from puppies to fledgling birds, and they will defend them to the death. Very cute.

Have you noticed that your arguments in opposition to nuclear power appear to be entirely rooted in bureaucratic failure?

And these are just pet peeves, but why are we measuring nuclear waste — something famous for being made of the heaviest materials possible — in tonnes? Wouldn’t a much better metric for difficulty-of-storage be the volume? I know the reason is that it would be devastating to the argument against nuclear power when compared to the size of, say, a football/soccer pitch, but it’s still deeply irritating. Also, there are grades of nuclear waste. There is much less TRU/HLW waste than there is Class A, which is predictably never ever mentioned in poorly researched anti-nuclear propaganda articles like this.

(I almost forgot to mention this one, but the majority of nuclear waste is produced by the Nuclear Stewardship Program not commercial nuclear power plants. I think we can all agree that nuclear weapons are awful, and if we want to stop the production of nuclear waste we’d have to get rid of them as well, an unlikely condition but one I’d be very happy to see realized)

At the risk of retreating to easy retorts, I think most of the answers here can be boiled down to “the extensive efforts of petrochemical companies to suppress every competing technology”. It’s the same reason we’ve had PV or molten salt solar plants for years, but have never extensively pursued them* as a country.

Oh boy. The breakdown is:

Takes too long to build
Expensive
Weapons proliferation
Meltdown
Lung cancer risk to miners
Construction/Operation emits carbon
Nuclear waste

This is… really not great reporting. There are concerns with nuclear power but these aren’t them. I mean, national weapons proliferation? That’s really not a concern with modern reactor tech, and they should know that. The article ignores the last 50 years of advancement in reactor design to present their arguments, and that really undermines their credibility.
