This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

I would immediately leave and get as far away from my home as possible, since that’s where they’re coming to look for me.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

Haiku - based on BeOS

“inspired by” would be more accurate. there’s no original BeOS code in Haiku for legal reasons (other than the interface, which was open-sourced with the release of BeOS 5). All backwards-compatibility with original BeOS software is (impressively) reverse-engineered. Haiku OS is, itself, original software made to - in every way - look, feel, and operate just like BeOS did.

edit: i had a buddy in high school who had a BeBox. it was like having the best of a Mac and a PC in one machine. it really was a spectacular machine and OS. i really wish Apple had picked it up, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead, which, i admit, was still a pretty solid choice.

YouTube is the virus

I think it should be younger. Maybe 65.

Members of Congress and SCOTUS should also have term limits

Block his number, and report him to HR immediately

There was a time it would’ve fit on a floppy

lol, copying isn’t theft. You already had to download a copy just to view it. That’s how websites work.

Not at first, but good torturers work through using questioning techniques to find out the most horrible thing to do or say. And they enjoy that work. Someone with empathy wouldn’t be able to go through any of that. Unless the end goal was to improve this situation for the subject. Ironically, the method for both of these is cognitive and behavioral psychology.

You’re correct in your initial assertion, but you are incorrect in your assumption of the overall methodology (and goals) for either, or both.

Edit: the short answer is that none of this is as simple as you think it is, and you can actually do some pretty simple research into this and find out a lot more than maybe you wanna know. Extending a little on that, it actually gets pretty fucking ugly especially when you get into with the Nazis and the KGB did towards the end of World War II and going into the Cold War. And the United States government did some pretty ugly stuff as well leading into the 50s and 60s and 70s. Don’t get me started on what the bush administration was doing.

You can look into interrogation techniques and some other stuff about how we ended up figuring out that rapport building and not torturing people as a much better way to get information out of them. I’m preferred, myself, while I was studying for a masters degree in psychology to stick to the much lighter side of stuff, and how that type of psychology can be used to help and heal people Instead of breaking their brains open for tiny bits of information that mostly turned out not to be very useful anyway. 

Empathy is the understanding and sharing of the feelings of others. Torturers and sadists need only to recognize pain in others and then to exploit it. Those with empathy are particularly terrible at doing this. In fact, it takes a particular lack of empathy, a detachment, to be a good torturer and/or sadist. The best torturers are sadists and are sociopaths and psychopaths, who are completely incapable of any empathy whatsoever.

Oh, don’t feel bad. I would’ve laughed at you just as much yesterday.

How very sweet of you to say

Sorry, but I’m not so skeptical, nor are most people. 10-20 may be optimistic, but the hard work of proving that a fusion reaction that produce a net positive output is even a possibility is done. More than one fusion reactor has been created. The next phase of experimentation is now with different methods of reactors to find one that might work at scale.

At the furthest, it may be 50 years before our first commercial fusion reactor, but other technological advances we make in those decades could - and likely will - bring that date closer. It may be 100 years before fusion reactors are being widely built, but I doubt that, too.

Technically, we only kinda just did. We’re experimenting with it currently on a very small scale, and will be scaling it up over the next 10 to 20 years. It’s very exciting time for nuclear fusion!

I’ve never experienced that. Breathing in freezing weather smells like freezing weather. Dry, crispy, and icy. My saliva smells nothing like that.

I suspect that you have a sinus or oral condition. Perhaps you might speak to a doctor about that?

I remember hearing this claim 40 years ago. It didn’t happen.

So you admit that you can’t back up your claims. Don’t expect reasonable or rational people to believe you.
