While not theoretically impossible it’s impractical and unheard of for multiple trusted independent audit companies to be commissioned on an extremely regular basis.
Trustable proprietary software is like nuclear fusion as an energy source. Theoretically possible, but we sure as shit don’t have it.
Indeed.
However, proprietary code cannot be trusted to be trustworthy. FOSS can it’s just not guaranteed.
Surely you’ve realised your instance has a huge pro-russian, pro-china tankie presence?
Lemmy.ml admins me for being against Russia invading Ukraine and committing genocide lmao
If you aren’t a tankie, migrating your account could be something to consider.
Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.
Reminds me of decades ago when intel didn’t bother getting into graphics because they said pretty soon CPUs would be powerful enough for high-performance graphics rendering lmao
The short-sightedness of Intel absolutely staggers me.
Indeed. Active users (say, used within the past month) is a much better metric.
I often wonder about this for many (especially older) YouTube channels - your channel is 15 years old, how many of your 500k subscribers actually still watch or even have active accounts?
I wonder what subscriber growth rate a typical YouTube channel needs just in order to maintain a consistent level of watchers?
True. Although half the new characters were scrapped, or had their storylines ignored.
Picard’s two Romulan… maids? Estate managers? went nowhere and disappeared
Space Legolas went nowhere and disappeared
Soji went nowhere and disappeared
Raffi is there still, but her entire story arc got scrapped I believe? They were going for a “I’m a recovering addict and I want to reconnect with my son and his pregnant spouse”, and then it just completely disappeared as a plot line.
Seven is there, but I think you can go into S3 and just think “oh, Picard and Seven know eachother. I guess that makes sense actually.”
It certainly helps to have seen the previous seasons, you’re right. I’m pretty sure they reference that Picard is technically an android once, which would be a wtf moment if you’ve not seen season 1.
Eh, soap operas had been doing serialised TV for decades before the 80s and 90s. And if you look to outside of the US, in the UK serialised TV was extremely normal, and had been for decades - ever since TV started, really. And even before that it was common in radio plays.
Picard was fumbled hard overall.
They had some concepts that could’ve been deeply interesting, such as [SPOILERS] a dead Borg Cube in Romulan space, being studied by the Romulans, and looking for Bruce Maddox, the scientist who wanted to study Data in Measure of a Man (S1), Q dying and wanting to engage with Picard before he goes (S2), but they did a really bad job.
Season 3 is a lot better. A lot of the sound and cinematography is great, it feels more like a Star Trek film than a TV show in terms of how it’s presented. That in itself isn’t a good thing or a bad thing, but I personally liked it.
It’s a bit fan-servicey - there were times when I liked that, but also times I rolled my eyes. I’d say Season 3 is worth watching, and you’ll either like it or you won’t. Thankfully, the show pretty much resets itself for season 3, and you don’t really need any info from Seasons 1/2 going into it.
Report away. Anybody reading this will agree it’s utterly insane to talk about drinking a glass of wine and fucking a toddler as of they are the same thing.
No, he thinks raping children is a good thing.
Saying “thought” implies he no longer does.
No I’m not
Yes you are.
This ban covers both the sale and operation of iPhone 16 models and extends to units already sold.
They’re getting it from there.
Finally, something I can get behind!
Bikes obviously have their place. For the time being, so do cars (although cities could certainly benefit from being less car-centric).
The operator of neither should be pissing about on their phones, both for their own safety and the safety of others.
I’ve had my jaw fractured by a cyclist who knocked into me due to not paying attention. I now have an ugly scar because of it.
There’s all kinds of obstacles in cities. Including hundreds of thousands to millions of people. I can tell you from experience that a bike going into you at 30-40 km/h will hurt.
It’s not at all unreasonable to be against people pissing about on their phones while cycling.
The issue is compounded by cyclists who ride through pedestrian areas, cyclists who seem to think red lights don’t apply to them, and people getting electric bikes and whizzing around effortlessly at a high speed.

I have iPlayer on my Nvidia shield, although I imagine it’s available for all Android TV boxes.
I’d avoid the no-name Chinese devices though. A shocking amount of them have straight up spyware on them, yet are still sold on Amazon.
Bonus tip: install ProjectIvy launcher to get rid of home screen ads.
Riker would bang them either way
My wife took my name, but I would not give the slightest shit if she didn’t, which I made clear to her at the time.
We briefly discussed having a double-barrel surname, but writing that out would be a mild inconvenience that neither of us want.
And maybe this is a dumb question, but what happens when forename surnameA-surnameB marries or has children with forename surnameX-surnameY?
What is the resulting name? forename surnameA-surnameB-surnameX-surnameY? Do they pick one of each, e.g. A-X?
A lemmy.ml mod, being an absolute joke of a mod? Say it ain’t so!
I know people meme about “Zen 5%” (sidenote: genuinely a clever quip), but most of that is down to AMD massively reducing the power draw of the chips.
If you set it to the same power limits as Zen4, you can get large performance improvements.
Gamers have been saying for years that stuff is getting too power-hungry, but when steps were made to reverse this, they collectively lost their minds.
Seriously, what are they expecting, a 25% improvement in performance at half the power draw, while staying on a 5nm-family node?
AMD were dumb for thinking gamers give even the slightest fuck about power usage. Gamers would much more readily accept a CPU going from 120W to 500W if it meant an imaginary +20% perf uplift over a CPU going from 120W to 70W with a +5% perf uplift. I say imaginary because nobody with a high end CPU and a 4090 actually plays their games at 1080p low.
