I really don’t get the issue with kWh. Things are rated in W and we mostly care about the hours they’re powered on. If I wanna figure out how many kWh a PC that needs 300W used in 4 hours, I multiply 30*4. If I wanna know how many joules it used, I have to do 300*4*3600. Only one of those can be done in your head in 3 seconds.

1·6 months agoI specifically avoided, not only calling cyclists assholes, but calling the people in my story cyclists. It also takes like 10 seconds for a cyclist to get off of the cycling path to allow a line of 10 cars that have invaded it to pass. That’s entirely not the point. If a cyclist is aware that they should keep their distance from a pedestrian, then they wouldn’t be on the sidewalk or they would get off the bike and push it, which is what the law says. There’s no ifs or buts. Giving motorcycles to people who don’t understand that and calling them “ebikes” will just endanger everyone.
Pedestrians do have the right of way, specially on the sidewalk. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a jerk move. A pedestrian crashing into another person also can’t do anywhere near the damage someone on a bike can. By your same stupid logic, cyclists shouldn’t use the road because they hold up traffic.

you don’t have to tell me that Windows sucks.
Then I don’t see why you have a problem with me saying macOS is better than Windows.
I don’t use any accounts for my OS at all.
You mean Linux? I don’t either but that’s irrelevant, isn’t it?
Here’s a story I have for you: A couple of days ago I was calmly walking home with my wife when I heard a little bell ring behind me accompanied by an annoyingly high pitched “Make way, pleeeease”. I turned around to see, I shit you not, at least ten assholes on bicycles on the fucking sidewalk. Naturally, I reacted the only way a sensible person would by yelling “Fuck off. You’re on the sidewalk.” and kept strolling home followed by a line of jerks on bicycles absolutely shocked that someone disliked their behaviour. Giving motorcycles to idiots who think they can do no wrong because they’re not in a car is not the solution. Stop glorifying bicycles and start pushing for walkable cities.
They’re both about the same in terms of privacy so that’s quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.
Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don’t have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.
I resent European imperialism for killing interesting architecture.
Still better than Windows, though.
14·6 months agoNah, you’re just in a relationship with an immature person.
I’m so tough. I’m the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren’t tough enough. I’m the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I’m tough.

One of my friends had a cat named Little Shit. Named that way because one day we came back from the bar at 3am and found he had let himself in and taken a little shit on the couch.
Good effort but Lemmy is all about superficial progressivism. If you even so much as approach any kind of nuance or try to make them see their internalized sexism, they lose their shit.

Fun story: I used to be a Tristan Tate fan. Now, now, put down the pitchfork, I can explain. Back before these two blew up, I kinda knew who Andrew Tate was and the kind of content he made but had never actually watched anything he put out. One day, scrolling YouTube shorts, I was served a video of a guy saying shit so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh. I then noticed his name was “Tristan Tate” and thought to myself “Oh, he must be a satire of that Andrew Tate guy I’ve heard about”. For the next several days, I watched almost every Tristan Tate short I was served — I couldn’t believe how fucking good he was at satire. Then I got served one where he talked about his brother and everything clicked in my head. I guess I’m grateful I never shared anything.

Mexican here. This is happening as much as “the wall” happened. Don’t let him distract you from the H1B issue.

Brother, that’s a whole new computer. Anyway, have fun and, if you haven’t already, you should install KDE Connect and Syncthing. I don’t know what you use your computer for but I have yet to meet someone who wouldn’t benefit from it.
