Liberals Are Finding New Ways To Undermine The Right To Strike
  • Trudeau really is just going to tow the party line to his proverbial grave. I can't remember the last time I saw a positive story about this party.

    Proton Mail goes AI, security-focused userbase goes ‘what on earth’
  • I'm using two 16TB HDDs in a Raid 1 configuration (one mirrors the other) on my Linux Mint daily driver. I just set it up with mdadm. There are obviously much more complicated ways, but this was simple and convenient for my needs right now.

    Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
  • Windows is becoming more of a shit show everyday, comically so. Glad I finally installed Linux Mint today. I've used Windows exclusively up until now and just quit cold turkey, putting Mint on my daily driver. I was hesitant to upend my computer habits by swapping OS, but I should have done this ages ago. I'm sure I'll run into some kind of issue sooner than later, but I'll take a technical problem over one manufactured by a corporation's greed any day.

    Windows AI PC manufacturers must add a Copilot key, says Microsoft
  • PowerToys is so useful. It's the main thing I will miss if I ever switch to Linux. I'm sure there is software to replace most of the functionality on Linux, but I've yet to get the motivation to look into it.

    Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them
  • Yeah I had the same problem. I just had to commit to being a slow typer for a while, but I inproved quicker than I thought. Still learning tho. I keep a regular keyboard I can switch to with the button on the bottom right of the home buttons for the rare times I need to type something urgently.

  • Have you heard of thumb-key keyboard? It's basically a 3x3 grid with swipe gestures for extra characters. I've been trying to switch to it for a bit cause I think eventually my typing will be faster and it will be a better one handed typing experience.

    Anyway, I think this would work well on a small screen device too, if you can get used to a whole new keyboard paradigm.

    It's on the IzzyOnDroid repo for f-droid.

    Hope this is helpful to someone!

    Nuclear fusion reaction releases almost twice the energy put in
  • I'm getting troll vibes, but I'll bite lol. Fusion reactions are the exception since you're turning some mass into energy according to:

    E = mc^2

    There's many quality videos on YouTube that can provide a better explanation than I ever could.

    Scientists Train AI to Be Evil, Find They Can't Reverse It
  • On the point about why they didn't use cows instead of humans as an energy source. I think I've read that in the original conception of the Matrix, the humans' brains were meant to be used for computation for the machines, rather than the humans being energy sources. This was changed since computers were new to the general public in 1999 and it was believed the concept would be too confusing.
