There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....
Depending on what country you’re in, it’s either a resumé, or a supplement to a resumé that summarizes academic achievements for an applicant with a graduate degree.
If there was such a thing, a “Chinese learners” community for anglophones would be very welcome. I am trying to learn Chinese currently and it would be neat to have an online forum to bounce questions off of.
My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we’ll seek out a fruit or vegetable we’ve never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?
How exactly does a jury trial work in a case like this? Aren’t juries supposed to be “peers” of the accused? How can a corporation be tried by a jury of its peers?
There’s a running joke in DS9 about Dax having a thing for a man with a transparent head (so you can see his brain stuff). But of course we never meet this guy because they didn’t have the CGI to actually make that.
Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....
I always wonder why sci-fi gets mixed in with fantasy so much? It’s always a pain to find decent movie/show or a book because these categories are treated as the same thing.
As Arthur C. Clarke famously said: “You have reached the end of your free trial subscription to ArthurCClarkeQuotes.com” “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”
A lot of Sci-Fi stuff is just fantasy with a different coat of paint. Any universe where the technology is just acting as a stand-in for magic qualifies. There are even many settings that blur the line between the two, like Warhammer 40K.
“Hard” Sci Fi is another beast entirely. That would be more like OG Star Trek or even something like The Twilight Zone. Something where the “magic” exists to explore thoughtful/philosophical “What if?” questions rather than simply as a system of magic to serve the fantasy.
I hadn’t heard of Microsoft Pluton, so I looked it up. It sounds like it’s some kind of CPU hardware module that implements security policies directly into the system. Pretty gross, but should be easy enough to avoid by just not buying computers with that processor.
IMO this post is a bit misleading because the image without context makes it seem as though the Windows OS is the thing intervening here, when that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I thought my university provided a copy of Mnova, but they didn’t. Are there repositories for this kind of software.
