They're legally mandated to have a table for every type of nutrient ( fats, trans fats, carbohydrates - split into subcategories of carbohydrate and carbohydrate sugars, salts, etc) in every packet of things sold as a Edible Product in which it has 2 rows - in a serving, v daily recommendation.

Ww have all of that in America as well. I had a great deal of confusion on this subject until the specific definition of one of the words involved was given to me. The problem in discussion here isn't labelling, or even ingredients, the problem is what's DONE to the ingredients before they get in the food. While some degree of processing happens to most food (Chickens are deboned, corn is nixtamalized, tomatoes are stewed) the issue here is the extreme level of processing rhe ingredients go through. Corn and Cardboard are both high in carbohydrates and fiber, after all, cardboard is mostly plant matter rendered down and cooked/shaped, but one is food and the other has been processed so thoroughly that it's not.

Many companies are rendering their ingredients so thoroughly before reassembling them that they're resembling "food" less and less and not doing great things for us nutritionally even though they still measure at certain levels on the packaging. Maybe Jaffa Cakes retain more of the base nutrtion level of the flour in them than twinkies do, but it's the same base processes occurring to both of their ingredients, just at different levels.

BECAUSE IT REQUIRES NEW HARDWARE!

AI made that impossibly out of reach for too many people.

I understand why tpm chips are a good idea but you can't just say "fuck you, fork out cash and cut over".

Look at the move to digital broadcast television.

The percentages are way different (way more people are using legacy PC's than had legacy tv sets) but they sold adapters for the tv folks.

They did the opposite and pulled the rugs out from under any "proceed anyway" options that were present for putting 11 on incompatible harfware.

Yes, you should have and it's good that you did.

It's the first step to being heard and we can't improve this for anyone without it.

Everyone involved has to speak, listen, think, and act, and do those things in proper proportion and direction in order for us as a species to address the problems that make the manosphere look appealing to anyone.

Individual work is important, but there's group work, too.

Part of the problem is that it's more difficult to do the latter part when so many if us are barely keeping our daily lives in order due to the rising cost of everything necessitating more work and fewer outings, and the elimination of third spaces for most, but we still need to:

1: Try

And

2: Keep hope alive

The democrats are not "doing nothing", they are once again performing active self-harm by upholding their previous party status quo, which generally RESEMBLES doing nothing (except on rare occasions when it resembles putting the worst possible and least progressive candidate forward, like endorsing a massive transphobe up against a slam dunk nothingburger opponent like ramaswamy in ohio. They could win with anything and anyone, so they picked the candidate that's the OPPOSITE of what's causing startling blue victories in other places).

I, too, thoroughly enjoy it.

The fact that it started in the past, but not quite "enterprise" levels of "in the past" and ended up in the far future was one of the things that really kept mw interested. The fact that the federation can even still BE the federation 800-ish years on (albeit partially due to interference from the past) is fascinating stuff.

Starfleet academy did some amazing stuff with the klingon diaspora and with the federation in general as well, to say nothing of the great sci-fi themes throughout it.

I'm honestly really loving everything we're getting for new trek television.

Fucks left to give.

Basically, how many spoons someone has left, or how much bad and/or taxing stuff they're capable of bearing today.

This would serve two purposes. One. It'd allow me to communicate more carefully or gently with those who require it, two, it'd give me real time feedback on shit I might've doing that's causing a disproportionate amount of harm to someone else.

Ex: I can be in a wonderful mood and capable of taking all kinds of bad news, but asking me to go out of my way to do an act of service for someone else as a show of affection while I'm in the middle of some self-care after I've spent all day working in a service industry will tank my remaining fucks immediately. I'm absolutely certain that others around me have similar reactions to things that I do, and if I could see what they were, I could stop doing them inadvertently.

The vast majority of computer users with those kinds of issues are

  1. probably using windows home
  2. On a big box store computer with a platter drive
  3. an i3 cpu
  4. and 8gb of ram

windows 10 couldn't reliably run it's own bundled software (Mail), by itself, with nothing else open, without that one app going "not responding" every few minutes on a computer with those specs.

Last time i checked, Walmart, best buy, costco, etc were still selling those specs with win11 which is notably bulkier and slower than 10, especially without an ssd, so things have only gotten worse for the average non-power-user.

That's a perfectly servicible spec for basic operations on a mint install, you could probably even watch netflix or youtube on it with linux, but i wouldn't want to run windows newer than xp on it.

I wonder who made the list of "don't touch these repos, they're propping up our proprietary software sans attribution" for the LLM injectabots to avoid.

I realize that the end game here is SUPPOSED to be "erode all trust in free software" but the ineptitude of those profiting off of proprietary software is such that they WILL fuck this up in such a way that it hurts themselves too, it's just a matter of when.

A nerf was expected, the fact that they treated it this carefully is a testament to how much they care about this game.

I don't know who or what reigned in the former seeming flippancy and casual disregard we used to expect to receive as members of the player base years and years ago with regards to any issues that would come up, but this is much nicer.

How do the pin outs on the USB line up?

When doing this the old fashioned way, you wire the transmit pins on the RJ-45 to 110v AC HOT and the receive pins to common.

(That's an etherkiller, don't make that, it will fry any networking hardware you connect it to)

Interestingly, that was the episode that made me stop watching.

I suspect I just don't normally like watching shows about miserable people making other miserable people even more miserable, which made the fact that I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire a surprise.

Guess there must be some other element to it.

Misleading headline.

Should be: copilot adds functionality to open links inside of it's own sandboxed copy of the browser.

Copilot sucks, fuck AI and the hellscape it's creating on our planet, but, dear news media: please use accurate headlines.

Weirdly, every Gen X, wannabe "operator", tacticool, Gadsden flag, black rifle coffee, stolen valor asshole I know LOVES that drum solo.

This pic actually made me wonder if that was somehow universal among them and not just limited to the few dozen in my sample size.

Or maybe it's just a good enough drum solo that nearly every white dude in the desertstorm1 age group likes it.

PIN is the best way to go there. It only works on that one machine, although you can technically set the same PIN again on another computer.

I believe the typical intent is as follows:

  1. It is now possible to brute force things that were previously considered "complex" passwords in a semi-reasonable amount of time.
  2. This necessitates longer and more complex passwords
  3. People can't remember those so they have a tendency to write them down or do other relatively insecure things with them.
  4. Forgotten passwords can generate a lot of helpdesk calls and are also an attack vector
  5. If we insist on really complex passwords that are too long to reasonably brute force with current technology, we need a way for users to log in that's not going to make 3 and 4 a major issue.
  6. If the simpler PIN method is locked to a per machine basis, it matters a lot less if the PIN is compromised because you also need physical access to the computer or the PIN is useless.

This should, in theory, allow workplaces to set requirements for really complex passwords that only need to be reset once a year or so, without breaking helpdesk, inconveniencing users, or leaving gaping security holes.

Whether or not that all happens depends on the workplace, but that's the general thought process in most of the places I've worked where a modicum of sense prevails
