  • Likewise I'm a "safe third party adult" for my niece but the prospect of ever actually needing to act in that capacity is terrifying.

  • The thing I find odd about the argument that a power imbalance makes consent impossible is that would make it effectively impossible for any POTUS to have consensual relations except for maybe with other world leaders.

  • but for the actors?

    Animated porn superiority.

  • Not keeping a buffer that covers any upcoming bills in an account from which bills are automatically paid is deranged behaviour. I don't care how much interest you may or may not get on that money.

  • Really depends on the type of mess, I think. If there is a lot of dry crumbs I'd give that a quick brush into the dustpan before spraying and doing the full wipe down. I don't want to just smear a bunch of wet crumbs around.

  • Those are type definitions for typescript. The results are completely relevant to your search.

  • "Would you do X for $Y" questions are always wild to me because the X is almost never anything that objectionable, and the Y amount is almost always enough to solve literally every problem in my life.

  • For a while (maybe even still, I haven't kept up with it) you could unlock paid features with a modded client, so they absolutely have a history of using client-side verification.

  • Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

  • ...why hold back from saying it though?

    I get it. There's social friction in that kind of altercation, but fear of that social friction is a contributing factor for the current state of things.

    Sure, you can't walk out on your job to start protesting in the streets because for all practical intents and purposes everyone is a single paycheque away from financial ruin, but Jesus Christ people, you can stand up to the batty woman in your local parish telling you that trans people are grooming children.

    Yes, there are social consequences, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere, right? Are you seriously going to tell me that quiet acquiescence is preferable to ostracism from a sexist/racist/homophobic/etc social circle?

    There are countless tiny opportunities to stand up and none of them are easy, but we're long past the point where they're necessary.

  • Unless you really need to optimise for land use. An arbitrarily large solar array in space could transmit to a fairly small collector in the surface.

    As for losing power to atmospheric attenuation, high frequency microwaves will pass right through most everything that would scatter visible light. Clouds, dust, etc wouldn't really impede it.

    I won't say it's not a silly idea, because it is. It's fun to think about though.

  • Satanic is not the same as satanistic.

  • I never cared much for the orange juice, but minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate is amazing. I'm going to miss that one for sure.

  • For reasons similar to why plain bread doesn't show up in sandwich recommendations.

  • I offer that it's actually worse, since it requires acting on it and knowing it's wrong.

  • ...what do you think the point of marriage is (or was)?

    You know you can have sex with someone without being married. The two concepts aren't actually requisite of each other.

  • If you're using vague, borderline nonsensical phrases like "install files" when trying to find out how to do things that might go some way towards explaining it.

  • Old hardware is certainly possible. I salvaged it from my parents who were going to throw it out. It's got an A10-8700P and is limping along with a single 4GB DIMM. The thing doesn't even have a second memory slot.

  • I do like the dedication to Mint! To be honest it's generally my default pick if I need to slap Linux onto something. I actually tried putting it on the gaming table machine but for reasons I didn't feel like digging into it just did not cooperate, and Debian did.

    CachyOS on the luggable gaming machine is mostly just because I hadn't used it before and wanted to give it a spin. So far so good.

    As for the Windows machine, it's a gaming rig and at the time it was built, pre-steam deck, Linux wasn't quite yet in as good a position for that as it is now. I just can't be bothered to switch it mid-stream as it were. It's almost certainly going to be the last Windows machine I ever own though.
