  • I love opening these posts to see a wave of garbage europeans who would turn around and claim they have best free speech and nonsecularist nations in the world.

    For all of America’s insane faults, it is ironic that the first amendment is still something a majority of the EU has failed to match, and is often surpassed by plenty more third world countries and actual warzones.

    These same people were defending France’s pool swimwear law banning full cover swimwear and water proof headscarves.





  • I keep posting that the zfold and zflip 8 is gonna be the last good foldable generation from Samsung because this cycle crap is what happens every time Apple finally catches up:

    1. Small OEM makes some sick hardware advancement
    2. Samsung applies cool hardware into a secondary product
    3. Everyone is happy and enjoying product
    4. Several years pass
    5. POS Apple finally catches up with the hardware standard and releases their next iphone for a morbillion dollar price tag
    6. A shifu ton of Apple users buy it as usual
    7. Samsung marketing makes fun of Apple for two months
    8. Samsung execs see all the Apple money and then copy Apple’s POS hardware spec for the next generation of their product
    9. Repeat

    I still remember when Galaxy was the flagship of Android and made the iphone look like a joke Chinese knockoff in comparison and now it’s just an iphone clone with equally crappy software to match.

    Apple, Apple slop buyers, Samsung, and especially Google can all go screw themselves.







  • Dunno how well zswap handles at that size, but the point is that is compresses swap into RAM, so it would use a max of 819.2M for a total of 2457.6M of swap space. If you need more, then by all means, use a swap file or partition lol.

    Actually linux easily supports multiple and tiered swap mounts, so you could even go zswap + ssd swap + hdd swap, or a cheapo “burn at your own risk” usb flash swap lol.


  • I wish these braindead news outlets would stop doing free marketing for anthropic or openai.

    This shit is as bad as everyone suddenly acting like foldable phones are relevant just because shitfuck apple decided to finally enter the market with their $2k phone made of recycled sewage.

    People were doing all this stuff back when GPT-3 dropped and literally every model on HF has hundreds of ablated/uncensored versions that makes whatever limitations anthropic and openai impose completely irrelevant.

    Even if some adversary wanted a high quality output for nefarious purposes, they’d just download uncensored deepseek and run it on their expensive hardware they can already afford.

    Why is every god damn article pretending the past 3 years never happend?







  • Eat what you can afford.

    Is the real take away but I can pretty much always taste the difference between farmed and caught fish because their diet and exercise isn’t the same. And no, I’m not talking about the freshness quality, that’s just universally ass in the USA because we import fish from across the globe.

    But the global demand for seafood is so damn high that I’d rather put up with farmed fish than nuking the entire ocean.

    My main issue is diet source and water filtration. (most) Fish evolved to basically not spend energy mitigating toxins and other heavy metals in their bodies because they’re used to living in a constant stream of water, hence why they generate ammonia instead of urea, because the sheer volume of water will dillute it away.

    Both wild and farmed fish are highly susceptible to polluted food and water, which we really do not take enough care of these days lol.


  • I’m gonna take this opportunity to also point out that a lot of major banks’ online banking portals are actual dogwater. I have a credit union account and it is almost hilarious to me how well made their online portal is because it actually loads fast and doesn’t throw errors every 5 seconds probably because they hired a qualified dev to make it with a solid HTML/CSS base and not a bloated JS framework hell PWA.

    Unlike a certain penny colored bank site that can’t even handle my auto filled password and complains I need to enter the already filled input box.
