  • Same here. I only support those companies because they’re the best options for what they offer, and I’m not gonna let perfection get in the way of progress. Even though Mozilla is making some business choices I don’t agree with, I’m gonna keep recommending Firefox until some other non-Chromium browser comes along (which unfortunately isn’t gonna happen for a long time).

    Same with AMD- they are so much more friendly to the open-source community than Nvidia or Intel, so I will recommend them to everyone, until the moment they start being worse. At that point, I’ll start recommending whoever seems best at that point in time.



  • Start feeding it too, or get one of the neighbors who’s been feeding it to help out. Your best bet is a feral cat trap, which are kinda pricey, but if you call around to a few local rescues or “trap, neuter, release” programs, they may be able to lend you one. Then you can likely just use food to lure it into the trap.

    Of course, if this cat used to be someone’s pet, you could even just try luring it into a garage or, hell, a big cardboard box, from which you could put some thick gloves on and transfer it into a pet carrier

    Exactly. Or, you could just buy into “many worlds” and the idea that your brain and all the quantum particles that comprise it just join in on the laser beam’s wave function. (That’s an oversimplification but close enough)

    Just like there’s no reason to believe the earth is at the center of the solar system, there’s no reason to believe that human consciousness is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics.

    This is such an incredibly dumb idea. If this “storage method” was to gain any traction, Google would figure out how to shut it down, either by banning accounts (removing all your data) or worse, instituting a policy of removing videos that don’t reach a certain view threshold. Not to mention, encoding data this way is inefficient as hell.

    Just pay a few dollars for reliable storage, whether from Google or Proton or whoever you like.


  • The project started as an independently developed ZLUDA, meant for Intel GPUs. AMD started funding development of the project, expanding its scope to also work on AMD GPUs, with the condition that if AMD abandons it, the code would become open source. This happened a few months ago, but now for some reason AMD backtracked and pulled the open-source code for reasons we don’t know. AMD is usually pretty good with this stuff though, so I’m interested to find out what their motives are.

    Napoleon tried to do decimal/metric time (10 hours a day, 100 seconds a minute, etc), but it didn’t catch on. Probably because both 24 and 60 are “highly composite numbers”, which means they’re divisible more ways than any numbers smaller than them. 10 isn’t divisible by 3 or 4 or 6, which makes it less useful in certain situations. Also, “megaseconds” and “gigaseconds” are way too big to be useful measures of time on human scales.
