  • I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

  • College Degree

    Jump

  • electricians, plumbers

    Doesn’t require a college degree. May require trade school or an apprenticeship.

    math teachers

    Requires multiple degrees but they are extremely underpaid and while I do think the US could use more and better teachers, the funding of the public school system does not reflect that.

    chemists

    Probably ok prospects right now but the job market in general kinda sucks right now so you still might have trouble.

    etc etc etc.

    Computer science was an extremely desirable degree from an employment perspective up until a couple years ago, but now the computer science bubble is popping. But also in general the job market is awful right now. A lot of people I know with “practical” degrees like computer science, business, physics, and engineering are struggling to get jobs in the fields they majored in. And that’s not even getting into how awful the US system for becoming a doctor is…

  • Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?

  • In response to your spoiler:

    I specifically didn’t like that scene because it’s a massive departure from the lore of all the other films. If they could just do that, why haven’t both sides been doing that all the time? Is it supposed to be that this group is the first group to try this, with the tech that has been around for at least a few centuries? If they had all died in the process I’d be more ok with that, although that also seems like a departure from how hyperspace works in the other films.

  • I’d put it at like 2 or 3 lines of text not counting keywords

  • If a country was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool proof deterrent against nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world?

    Jump

  • The treaty isn’t the technology, it’s the result of people much better informed on the topic considering the scenario you are asking about.

    The technology is the hypothetical anti-ballistic missiles.

  • It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

    However, with these types of word problems, there’s usually the implication that the pie is now gone. There’s kind of a problem figuring out where the pie went when nobody ate any pie.

  • Tbh I kinda don’t mind the podcaster ads when they put their own spin on it and are cute about it

  • If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class

  • Honestly sounds reasonable to me. But it would be nice if they could include deterring that over dramatic black-and-white effect lol.

  • Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material

    Jump

  • Neither have I really. It’s the last one I used, which was like 5 years ago.

    These days I’m mostly using docker containers but all my docker containers as well as my hosts are flavors of Linux so YMMV.

  • So that you can run the windows exclusive software in a virtual machine.

  • All I want to do is fly transport helicopters around in an online multiplayer scenario like I do in BF 2042 on winblows.

  • Possibly. I haven’t played in a while but it was quite good when I did play.

  • considers things moving at very close to the speed of light uses Newtonian mechanics

    It’s an interesting idea but this is a pretty massive oversight.

  • I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

    It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

    It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

    For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.

  • Take the computer from a real artist, they can still make art. Do the same to an AI "artist" and see how long they keep claiming to be such.

  • Before the electronic calculators, “computer” was a career. Much like today, the scientists and engineers would write out the equations that need to be solved, but then pass the work to a “computer” to plug in actual numbers. The difference is modern computers are electronic and historic computers were humans who did arithmetic as a career.

    Here’s the relevant Wikipedia article:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

    But those scientists and engineers still knew how to do math, even if they were offloading that work most of the time. The point being, it’s still important to learn how to do math, even if you won’t be the one actually doing it most of the time, and this has been true for hundreds of years, well before electronic calculators and computers.
