Not to doubt that those numbers are accurate (it's probably worse honestly), but the citation for that quote leads to a broken link on a Utah recycling site. It probably mostly goes to a landfill but they were probably saying that 30% of the total makeup of US landfills is EPS; not that only 30% of all EPS actually gets there.

I interpret it as a way to try to convince other countries to join the cause or to embolden those that have. The US has been ambivalent about supporting the Paris agreement and several blows have been taken thanks to a certain political party.

It's simple: be intolerant to intolerance. Speech or actions that promote hate or violence against groups of people should honestly not be tolerated like it is. We need to call that shit out for the oppression that it is.

You may have to set the refresh rate manually to go higher than 60hz. Things should look much smoother.

Run 'xrandr -q' and see if it gives you multiple refresh rates for your displays.

Also, what GPU are you using?

In my mind it makes sense that the more extreme people tend to gravitate from public circles and tend to land in places that have less moderation and more freedom of speech unfortunately.

For real. I didn't realize how bad all of the YouTube alternatives are. They are just flooded with neo-nazis and bigots. It just sucks with how we really don't have much choice other than to use something like newpipe.

So, Israel shot down an incoming missile while it technically was in space. I can only imagine that this is the start more of headlines like this.

Thankfully it only lasted 2 years. But during that time it sounds like it was a plan to suppress the presidential competition that backfired. It's good to know that humanity has always sucked.

The thing is, you have to look at sunrise too. Would you really want the sun beaming at you at 4:30 AM in the morning during the Summer Solstice ?

I think everyone needs to remember that we have essentially turned this virus into the new flu. We'll probably settle to pushes for yearly vaccines to reduce symptoms and the chance of passing it on, like the flu. And if you're not immunocompromised or elderly, then think of those around you who might be. They are the ones you're affecting as well as yourself if you get this vaccine.

Here's an article on vaccine immunity timelength and how it compares to the flu: Time.

From what it's describing, it sounds like it would only impact Linux computers that allow SMB1 access, such as domain-joined systems with samba access allowed. It sounds like this would target mainly enterprise Linux deployments but home Linux setups should be fine for the most part.

It's not different for the Internet. We've always had people that have been opposed to ideologies separate from their own. Book bans aren't anything new and neither are restrictions to free speech. Nazi book burnings and the US Red Scare are extreme examples of this. It's all a symptom of nationalism and ethnocentrism, just a different place/time/media. What really sucks is that the nationalists have a lot of power now all over the world, and we're slowly seeing the results of that.

This isn't about saving the kids. This is about controlling the populous.

I'd honestly say it's a bit of both. The regulations affecting this are pretty terrible and allow for the loopholes that are creating the issues we're seeing today. But from my perspective, reducing these regulations won't solve the problem. I would argue that we need both incentives and regulations that address this directly. That way, any companies that are still producing larger vehicles just to shirk regulations would be doing it at their own expense and for (hopefully) a niche market that still wants larger vehicles.

The more I read about them, the worse it gets.

It seems like auto manufacturers are using vehicle footprint as a means to reach higher safety statistics instead of actually designing safer vehicles, which in turn directly impacts gas efficiency.

It's like a rat race to the biggest consumer trucks we now have on the road; the more truck-class vehicles we have, the less safe it is for cars. So they make bigger vehicles to accommodate and the cycle continues.

Have you considered using Bitwarden Premium? It has TOTP support and is $10/year currently.

Also, regardless of how your hosting your data, it's probably good to keep a secured backup of your vault or two just in case something unexpected happens.

Fair points. I'd say it depends on what we're focusing on.

Maybe a good compromise would be to have the account that sent the message generate the preview. At least that way you'd maintain E2EE and save the webserver some unnecessary demand.

I can also see how this could be less reliable (because we're now relying on a client with all sorts of variables) and less safe (malicious sender could mask malicious links with benign previews) than the server method but it all depends on which you prefer more.

After thinking about it in this situation, previews are just a nightmare to deal with privately and I'd probably just want to turn them off.

I agree. That's a terrible choice to me.

Why would they not just offload this as a feature for the client to handle? At least then the security and privacy ultimately would be up to the user's decision.

What does that mean?

For me the past few days:

• MO: Astray - fun & difficult puzzle platformer with an interesting story
• Deep rock Galactic - fun, short, & mostly friendly public multiplayer
• Factorio - good for turning my brain into a smoothie
• Pilgrims - comical bartering puzzle game

I'm not sure it's that much of a barrier. Requiring that installed a/c units have a minimum efficiency to sell a house or lease property would be something.

Actually, it looks like there are some newer regulations for just this: https://www.iccsafe.org/building-safety-journal/bsj-technical/2023-efficiency-requirements-for-air-conditioning-systems-what-you-need-to-know/.

I wonder if there are statistics that we can find regarding the impact of this requirement.
