If by “nonsense” you mean “exactly correct,” sure!

J’apprends la français depuis trois ans. (Mais pas a cause de la chanson.)

Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol:

Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.

Celentano’s intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently.

In other words, divert funding from school bus seatbelts to Safe Routes to Schools.

Which of the U.S. national parks in this image do you think is the most worth visiting? There are three exceptions. (lemmy.world)

We’re talking about a vacation this summer so we can plan ahead. My mother (who will pay for it) said she’d love to go to Yellowstone, but it looks like it’s about a 24-hour drive for us. Still, I like the idea of going to a national park. We’re in Indiana, so this image shows about the limits of where we’re willing to...

grue,

There’s stuff in Gatlinburg I know we would like to see as well. My daughter loves any aquarium anywhere and it has one

Depending on how much driving around you want to do, it might be worth heading down to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. (Take this route for a scenic drive including the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway.) You’re also kinda within striking distance of the Georgia Aquarium (the largest aquarium in the US and the 4th largest in the world), although the drive isn’t nearly as scenic.

I’ve looked all over the Internet for <16" short-depth cases multiple times over the years, and I’ve learned the most important question is this: what do you want to put in it?

I’ll tell you right now that some of the things I’ve wanted, like…

  • A 2U with hot-swap caddies all the way across the front (like this or this, but <16" deep at the cost of fitting only an ITX motherboard), or
  • A 4- or 5U chassis that can fit an EATX / SSI EEB (12"x13") motherboard and an ATX PSU at the same time, or
  • A chassis of any size that has both the motherboard/PCI I/O and the drive bays on the front (front drive bays are normal and you can get front access I/O, but not both at the same time)

…simply do not exist, as far as I can tell. I’m pretty sure all of these things are geometrically possible (I did the math), but apparently I’m the only one who wants such weird stuff.

You can get a basic-bitch whatever-U case that supports a mATX motherboard and hard-mounting a couple of internal drives, with sharp metal edges, a shitty plastic door, and a price double (or more) what similarly low quality would cost in a desktop form-factor all day long, though.

You know how the right-wing nutjobs have been frothing about a “new world order” conspiracy theory for a long time now? You know, the one about a secretive multinational cabal plotting to take over the entire world?

Yeah… it turns out even .

I’m not sure what’s required for AI. I feel like it is similar to crypto mining, massive compute but relatively small amounts of data.

If you’re talking about training models, I think it requires both massive compute and massive amounts of data.

grue,

Although it’s the third least-popular of the eight songs the guy’s done so far, it’s by far my favorite. Not only is the concept great, it’s definitely the most technically successful one (in terms of the lyrics being pieced together the smoothest).

…and also because, in their minds, the point of Zionism is not only to get the Jews to Israel, but also away from everywhere else (if I understand their doomsday cult bullshit correctly, all the Jews are supposed to return there before Armageddon is triggered). But yeah, that’s just a secondary bonus compared to getting Raptured.

grue,

Apple paid to license the trademark. The various BSD projects didn’t.

grue,

The only non-bullshit downside of Snap is the proprietary server-side and the lack of multi-repo support.

I think most people agree on that point, but believe that it’s a big enough one to be a deal-breaker.

In what way is Snap superior enough to Flatpak to outweigh that downside?

grue,

It’s hardly worthy of being called a “window server” if it isn’t network transparent…

grue,

People are capable of making their own choice in privacy and tech.

Frankly, they often really fucking aren’t, which is why consumer protection laws are supposed to exist.

Nobody is forcing any of this in homes.

Note the weasel-words “in homes.” That’s because they are forcing it literally everywhere else.

grue,

Deciding how much wage theft to do is not valid “company policy.” The law is not arbitrary.

BRB, modulating my RGB to send data…

grue,

Oreos are surprisingly vegan

It’s less surprising when you realize that stuff that processed almost might as well have been constructed from raw hydrocarbons. It’s like some NileRed “turning paint thinner into cherry soda”-level shit.

grue,

There are two locations: Fort Wayne, IN and an unspecified point in the ocean. Of the paths between Fort Wayne and an ocean, the ones people are most likely to think of (e.g. from the Atlantic or the Pacific) involve crossing mountains, but others (e.g. from the Gulf of Mexico or Hudson Bay) do not.

grue,

Obviously, you use the tech in the situations it’s appropriate for. If your office building happens to be in Phoenix, AZ, then a qanat might be a pretty good idea!
