People buy Nvidia for different reasons, but not everyone faces any issues with it in Linux, and so they see no reason to change what they’re already familiar with.

The needles are made of stainless steel which is very strong. Worst case it may bend, but it should remain functional so it’s not catastrophic if it does. You can still finish what you’re doing before disposing of it.

I’ll admit that my only experience with using them myself was clearing out sample vials that needed to be shipped internationally. So I had to use a needle to drain everything out of the vials, which involves poking the needle into the vial several times. I’ve done it many times, and only bent the needle once, and the seal on the vial is much tougher than skin.

Sure, you could use it for that if you so desired.

It can be used for other purposes. It’s essentially a digital ledger that keeps track of all the transactions.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??

The irony of this question is painful.

You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”

You made it generational.

A flake of chipped paint could become a splinter

I don’t know if it will do it, but KDE Connect might have a way to make it work

Spock is only half Vulcan.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent!

It’s a limitation that comes with any large-scale operation. If you need one IP as a random internet user, it probably doesn’t matter what that IP is. If you need 1000 IPs as a business, it’s more difficult to have those randomly assigned, and instead you’re given a predictable range.

They are assigned blocks of IPs, and any IP from that block has to be from them, so it’s easy to know what traffic comes from a specific one.

There’s a reason they use the term grooming so much. It’s because that’s what they do, and have been rightfully accused of it so much that they need to work so hard to dilute the meaning of the word. By accusing everyone else of grooming, they make it seem like the accusations against them aren’t a big deal when they really are.

Truly heinous people who do that shit.

Because they know nuclear will never be approved, and so the status quo remains.

Party on, Garth!

Agreed on all points.

The statistic I’ve read is that the top 90% of men are stronger than the bottom 90% of women. The inverse of that is that only the bottom 10% of men are weaker than the top 10% of women.

Obviously this is a matter of strength only, and isn’t a direct measure of skills, but in most sports does have an impact on skill. I feel like martial arts is a sport where strength is such a significant factor that weight classes are so strictly measured in such small increments.

Beyond that, I can’t speak in regards to what effect being cis/trans, or other hormonal situations, have on competition.

Or fucking Wrestling! How many pro-Wrestlers were zooted to the gills on pharmaceuticals?

Pro wrestling isn’t a real competition, it’s scripted, and winners are either pre-determined, or “chosen by the audience.”

But now, we’re supposed to pretend estrogen is a performance enhancing drug?

No, they’re pretending that being AMAB means that puberty blockers and testosterone suppression don’t matter. They’re saying that trans women are men.

Nobody knows because nobody who’s tried to follow through has reported anything happening.

Not every instance blocked them, but many did.

The fear of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish got a hold of the fediverse when Threads was originally announced.
