I think you misread the comment you’re replying to?
- 7zip (archive tool) People still use Winrar for whatever reason.
- Firefox (web browser) - It’s well known but still under-used. Stop using chrome. Chrome will be the end of the free internet.
- windirstat (visualise used disk space) - I use this to clear free space
- musicbee (music player) - replaced VLC with this because VLC has had a bug that makes it not playback FLAC files properly for like... A year?
- Screen2Gif (gif recorder & editor)
- ShareX (screenshot/video tool)
- Open Video Downloader (GUI tool to rip YouTube etc.)
- uBlock Origin (ad-blocker) addon
- Sponsorblock (sponsorship skipper) addon
I fucking hate Teracopy with a vengeance. It’s such a buggy piece of shit. I have never seen it not fuck up and crash when you ask it to do something remotely challenging.
Robocopy is the only thing I use for serious file copy/move jobs.
Federal Trade Commission is maintaining its opposition to the deal but it cannot prevent Microsoft and Activision from completing it
Wasn’t the FTC specifically created to block/prevent corporate mergers to stop companies from becoming too big?
I reckon you’re 100% on the money here. The big tobacco companies push all this drama and concern about the health effects so that everyone thinks the industry needs to be more regulated, that allows them to kill off the smaller competition and push up prices.
What’s your experience here? I’m interested to hear about projects that you have done this for.
The source engine has code that’s over 20 years old. A monolithic project like a game engine, which is statically and dynamically linked with god knows how many libraries they don’t even have code for, let alone permission, to compile in a different architecture, is not gonna be an easy thing to do.
Our society is fucking falling apart. A massive cost of living crisis, food bank usage is at an all time high, the gap between rich and poor has never been higher, entire generations are completely unable to buy a home, each year breaks through the ceiling for “hottest year on record”, we’re completely blasting past the paris climate accords, still massively subsidising fossil fuels, inflation is absurd, the NHS is falling apart, along with every other public service, and Brexit is not only hugely unpopular but is actively damaging our opportunities.
And what bold, decisive answers does Labour have to solve these problems?
close ties with business and a “competitive tax regime” to solve the housing crisis
not go back into the EU
not rejoin the single market or a customs union
not re-establishing freedom of movement
not committing to investing in renewables or other green policies
prioritising “””efficiency””” in the NHS, refusing to increase funding until they’ve undertaken an assessment
focusing on “””economic growth””” rather than green policy (which means sacrificing the environment for the benefit of the wealthy)
“getting people back into work rather than increasing their benefits“
“Deploy the power of artificial intelligence“ to help fix the NHS
ruling out any sort of wealth tax or increasing taxes for the wealthy
Labour under Starmer inspires no hope or enthusiasm whatsoever. They’re literally the party of, “I guess they’re technically not the Tories”. But make no mistake, they’re running on a right wing platform.
Labour claim to be “for the many, not the few”, but that’s not true. They’re “for the money, and none for you”.
If you want to vote for them because they’re better than the far-right Tories, you go ahead and do that, be my guest.
But I’m not going to be voting for a right wing party next election.
I’d have thought the pain point would have been the processor architecture (ARM64) rather than operating system - MacOS still supports AMD64 using a compatibility layer but it would probably be quite a drawback to game performance.
“The majority of studies show that a global transition to 100% renewable energy across all sectors – power, heat, transport and industry – is feasible and economically viable.”
I agree that having all the eggs in one basket isn’t a great idea - luckily there are a good 4 or 5 sources of renewables, most of which are cheaper and better than nuclear, such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric.
Nuclear is more expensive than renewables in total, not just for startup cost. Per kW generated, nuclear is somewhere between 2x and 5x more expensive than renewables.
When it comes to benefiting from economies of scale, wind and solar are far more poised to benefit than nuclear. Nuclear is not gonna help us. It’s too expensive and too slow.
It’s not the first of its kind though. It’s just the first in Africa. There are already a bunch of these in Europe and America.
If the researchers are in Europe then it doesn’t work for the plant to be in Africa. I don’t know why you’re arguing such an obviously wrong position lol
Governments are probably already directly influencing Lemmy with the usual astroturfing at the very least
No, the comment you’re replying to says “If you’re forced to rent because you can’t get on the housing ladder, you should be allowed to have an animal as a pet. Full stop”
They’re agreeing with you, I think you must have misread should as shouldn’t or something like that. It’s easily done :) I was just a bit confused reading the comment and reply.
