It seems like a weird point to bring up. How often do y'all convert your measurements? It's not even a daily thing. If I'm measuring something, I either do it in inches, or feet, rarely yards. I've never once had to convert feet into miles, and I can't imagine I'm unique in this. When I have needed to, it's usually converting...
Look... Im sure this is not the first time the pope has been called the antichrist. It likely happened in 884, 964, 997, 1012, 1378, 1409, or 1418 to just name a few.
(This is not be taken seriously, I grabbed a bunch of years from the Wikipedia list of antipopes to make a point when the role was contested. In the case of the ones between 1378-1418, where a bloody mess is an understatement (I would rather read history on the war of the roses), there have been significantly fewer violent disagreements regarding the title/position since then)
I just block the side-bar using Ublock Origin. Makes more room on the page and im not sold shit. If I want random videos ill hit the home page the post-screen after a video.
Degoogling your self is a process and needs to be handled carefully. Realisticly, this quite difficult if your not a fruit phone user, but there is hope for people who arn't neck deep in Apples walled garden. GraphenOS announced last year they would be expanding their range of supported devices. [Link]
Once that happens, closing the ol' google account will be much easier or atleast use a modern smart phone without having it tied to the tornent nexus.

Im so excited, Valve COOKED, I love the little blockhead minion on blue team and everything looks amazing. The only thing left on my wish list is a draft pick.

But they could have called it Star Command or something more sci-fi. Im giving them no credit for creativity to the point there is even a Netflix comedy show released that same year.
I can only imagine the bellowing ghostly laugh of Erik the Red and Leif Erikson as yet another fool falls victim to one of the best jokes in human history.
Perfectly fine, if your worried about the storage get a bigger one and reinstall what ever OS you want on it before you get comfortable (queue linux enthusiests here).
16gb of ram is the functional minimum for windows 11 and I would not push for an upgrade at the current time. Just be aware of your memory useage, Windows 11, Chrome and Office 365 services are memory hogs.
For the CS stuff, dont worry, your machine needs to run a terminal. You WILL be connecting to more powerful machines to do the heavy lifting. Leasing AWS time or using machines on your schools network is likely how all that will go.
Furthermore, its a Dell, so you can throw the service tag into their support site and get the exact parts list and specs (if the bottom is scratched off, its in the BIOS too).
If you need tech support, just let us know (nerds are always here to help).
Come give Warmachine a shot, army sizes are usually smaller and the rules are less "my rule book was published more recently, that means I win" (Plus the models are slightly cheaper).
Is it possible to understand this somehow, for example, with the help of drafts? Or should a person post a draft and edit it in front of the moderators?
I dont, I just assume you are all robots. Nice robots, who usually say smart or nice things, but unless I can drive to a place an punch you without breaking my hand... Best to just assume yall are to avoid the disappointment later.
As for proving to the rest of the robots that im not a robot... For Lemmy, I completely turn off spellcheck and amy grammar assistance. The frequency of errors, poorly constructed sentences and bad use of frequent AI tells is hopefully enough to validate that im beep boop not a robot.
Do you do what Calvin & Hobs do where the draw a line through the peanut butter jar and only eat from that one side, then scoop from the bottom on the other side, until the last of the jar is the perfect untouched half on top?

Incorrect, a raspberry pi will run off of a phone charger (it will whine at you if it provides less than 2 amps).
And for some of the projects listed that are meant to be out in the field like Meshtastic, there are plenty of guides to get them hooked up to solar cells.
In addition, to avoid costs of the RAMpocalypse/data centers butt-fucking the local power grid, reduce, reuse and recycle. Older desktops can run hypervisors like Proxmox or other VM/container solutions to split the work load into a bunch of VMs. (Dell Refurbished has decent deals, if you dont mind scratched up cases, but its beena bit since ive checked them)
In my case, the same device hosts multiple services split into several VMs, and I just got the backup server taking nightly snapshots. Wont save my data from a fire, but if hardware issues happen, backups are being taken (still need to test them, but thats a problem for future me).
If its as rural as you say, next time you seem them ask them what the price of brisket is. Surely one of them is will remember the price from a year ago.

For FMA, start with the original, because they spend more time during the opening chapters, and switch to Brotherhood at the exact scene when they vault the labratories fence.
For Total Recall, the point was that the state of the film was ambiguious. Were the events on screen the memories bought and paid for, or was it a real spy thriller.
The remake answeres that question and ruins the entire premice of the film. This is a key example on why these Hollywoo "remakes" are widely panned, they usually miss the point of the origional art and audiences are dumber for it.
The main issues a lot of the FF purists on this site take with Brave is-
its a chrome fork, which is a hard stop for them, and thats a good enough reason alone to avoid a product given how anti-corporate and anti-google the residents of this site are.
the systems in the opt-in list are still part of the application. There is an anxiety that the developer may decide at a future time that those features are not opt-in/enabled by default after an update.
So the natural response is to advocate for browsers that simply do not have those features and are open-source so that users can verify rather than trust the dev team to not put features like that in the product. Or rigoursly vet every update installed on your system to prevent that stuff from being installrd in an update, which is not viable for most people... (Run apt update/upgrade and manually approve every package change, we will see you in a few days).
And some people like mods and options, or would you prefer we just use the classic retort "git gud".
The mod just made the game more challanging, resources were consumed in crafting rather than refreshing on rests, it set geralt's roll and step it to the camera angle, and made regen of stamina based on a % of current health.
Let people enjoy things and set your games difficulty setting to where you have the most fun, now sit down.
Was reluctantly on Hinge a while back (was 31M at the time). My sibilings twisted my arm to make a profile and helped design it (I dont take pictures of myself so it was challanging to make). Overall expirence was negative to neutral, over ~2 years of minimal useage just to the profile active, threw 15$ at the app to see if it changed the algorithm (it does). IIRC ~12 replies, 3 first dates/meet-ups and 0 second dates. Cant say I put a ton of effort It so I wont lose sleep over anything.
The shocking part of the whole thing was compairing results with my sister. She functionally did not need to go to the default feed, dozens if not hundreds of contact requests... We had a joke back when she was in college that if she felt like it, she would never have to pay for a dinner (obviosuly that would be a dick move, and she never took advantage of anyone, but the data was there).
Once it became obvious that the platform was full of bots, dumby accounts, and was noticably trying to prey on desperate people with credit cards, I just moved on. Over all advice, if you find an app thats very new and not owned by match group, go for it, you will likely meet people earnestly trying to make connections. Otherwise, dont bother, go find a date the old fashioned way, outside.
Its the secret to cooking for guests. Everyone is like "wow, your an amazing home-chef", and im just hoping noone notices the entire diced onion and minced garlic I carelessly threw into the meal.
The latest patch reduced the file size dramaticly, so it runs a lot better.
And as stated by others, for best expirence, play with friends, sweaty players tend to bounce off it as there is no rankings or ratings and global progress is slow. Have fun, Freedom and managed-democracy await your support.
Yep, thats corporate monitoring software for you. Everyones got it, if you dont see it, assume its there. If the PC is not yours and or built with your own hands, assume its bugged or key logged. This goes for school PCs as well for the youngins, this is not to make people paranoid, just manage expectations on privacy. If you didnt make it, assume its recorded.

My Fluke Intelatone copper cable tracer and pin mapper. Had one as a company tool back early in my career. Bought one for myself when I moved and just carry it around in my magic bag of tricks. It is just the best at finding its other half, so much so that ive had multiple employers buy their own because I use my own and wanted me to stop using the shitty cheap ones they get off amazon.
By "Asian Countries", I'm specifically referring to East Asia and Southeast Asia... you know, the countries affected by british imperialism and the drug problem the brits caused in the past....
No, im of the opinion that the Amsterdam model is the most ethical response (so far) to drug abuse and mental health assistance. If addiction is a factor, punishment is not a deterant (and atleast in The US, an excuse for authorities to abuse the carve-out in the 13th ammendment). Treating people as patients instead of criminals provides the most good to society.

Given what Microsoft is smoking these days, no AI would be a selling point, and Mozilla does not seem to realize they are playing with fire. Their userbase chose their product instead of using the system defaults of Chrome, Safari, and Internet Exploder. Their users, just like Lemmy, are tech-litrrate and more socially concious than the masses. If an alternative or fork appears, with sufficent support, and Mozilla does not put the breaks on their AI train, were all just going to jump ship. We do it every time a new OS is installed, there is no Firefox loyalty, only lesser evils.
I was in the trenches for that nonsense fixing stuff daily because of them. Oracles wacky tacky shit that kept their users locked to Java 7.21 for a decade past the support date. Bloated language packs and not being able to keep up with basic HTML tags... You dont know how good yall have it today.
I dont care how much MS dresses up Edge, we know its just Chrome in a poorly fitted suit. The old addage still holds true, Microsofts default browser (formerly IE, currently Edge) is the best browser to use to go download another browser.
