It is not uncommon for Americans to move multiple times in their lifetime.

There are around 350 million Americans, with 50 to 70 million Gen Z alone.

In that context, yes, 100K is insignificant, being 0.0286% of the total population.

True. Which begs the question, what is this map for?

I always assume some political angle on posts like these.

I know I am assuming malice when incompetence may be the better answer, but my uninformed speculation leads me to think the mismanaged numbers are trying to send a message.

If Gen Z has 50 million people, then this map shows that they are not moving.

23K is only 0.046% of 50 million.

All together, only half of a single percent have moved, according to this graph.

Seems like everybody’s staying put, and this map means nothing.

I had to stop listening entirely as well. That show definitely had and effect on my mental well-being.

It’s my work computer. I’m definitely violating a few policies by installing Linux, but the computer was non-functional. So, I excused myself because at best, the computer will have to be wiped anyway.

This is good to know! Thanks!!

I have been testing the waters on my home PC, and was thrilled to see the live USB in my bag.

It might be time for me to bite the bullet and load it on my laptop too. I am beyond fed up with Windows at this point.

The minimal software compatibility issues were the only thing holding me back. (and GeForce drivers…)

I know that story doesn’t really go anywhere, but it was a big deal to me!

To out myself, I’m actually in education in America. Though it has serious flaws, I don’t know that the education system can take the full blame for this one.

My major worries at the moment are: firstly, the instant access to information, which students prioritize instead of doing any heavy lifting with their own minds (especially as AI is being thrust on to them to do the thinking for them), and secondly, the lack of accountability from within the system and without, as parents and administrators refuse to place any boundaries on student behavior.

Both of those things seem to be crippling any growth beyond primary school.

Every American is 12 now. I don’t know what’s causing it, but it’s becoming truer and truer.

I think part 2 of that link sums it up a little bit better.

The invention of a boogeyman allows them to feel much more self-righteous and morally upright.

His example of the satanic panic is emblematic of an invented evil that allows people to rush to the security of bare-minumum morality as if it is some brave stance to take.

Something may have gotten lost in the mix. You are taking a very defensive stance, when I asked a neutral question.

I looked through your responses, and at no point did you clarify what you actually meant by the phrase “hits the receptor sideways”.

I’m pretty sure you are referring to the fact that it is a partial agonist, and all I requested was that you clarify if that was the case.

I apologize if that somehow put you on your heels.

That said, there is no need for name calling or projecting ill intent. Thank you very much

What are you actually referring to though? Was I correct that you are implying that it is a partial agonist?

“Hits the receptor sideways” may be common pseudoscientific jargon, but it means nothing within the context of neuroscience or neuropharmacology.

So, to clarify, what exactly do you mean by it?

Maybe they are referring to ibogaine as a partial agonist for opioid receptors. “Hits receptors sideways” is an odd and incorrect way of stating that though

Different AI models to run locally

KY crew unite! Charles Booker in November would be a pleasant surprise

He’s really been tapping into his GG Allin roots lately, I guess!

I conspiratorially see these articles as propaganda to sway surveillance unidirectionally into governmental hands.

We can’t give people easy access to record police interactions, especially when they are upping methods of state violence like arming them with electronic shock gloves.

Better brand them as “pervert glasses” or try to associate them with pedophiles somehow so they get banned quickly.

(But also, Fuck Meta, and fuck dystopian hyper-invasion of privacy of all varieties)

I’m an educator, and we have the revision history extenstion in Google doc that allows us to see the document as it was written.

If large blocks of text suddenly appear, it indicates plagiarism.

Knowing your students and their lexicon, it’s unnecessary for most of us to use it though.

Most of the students that try to sneak AI struggle with writing to begin with, which makes it remarkably obvious when they try to pass off something that is not theirs.

It’s lightweight, open source, and does exactly what it’s supposed to.

I kind of legacyed my way into it. It was the first thing I grabbed after uTorrent went to hell decades ago.

What is the advantage of qbit over it?
