…except there’s no hardware to run it on. They’ve chosen an ISA profile that’s not been decided on for long enough.

You know that over-the-air update facility you all loved?

Errr … there’s a downside.

I tried it a couple of times and stopped both times because it puts it own password dialogue box up for my password. I assume it wants to sudo for some reason.

No! I will not give you my plaintext password.

1. No other piece of screen sharing software needs this.
2. You’ve not told me what you need it for.
3. Even if valid, no user level software should have my plaintext password. Make a request to the system, it will prompt me.
4. You now expect me to trust the software developers that make such brain-dead security choices with sharing my desktop? Not going to happen.

Uninstalled as fast as I possibly could.

I think people who dislike flatpaks or similar aren’t having “problems”. They work, but they’re using using a sledgehammer to drive a nail.

…and it’s turned them into the state with the highest standard of living in the US…right?

If ethical boundaries get thrown out in times of trouble, we don’t have ethical boundaries. It’s easy to not step over the line in times of peace.

A better way to say that (more accurate) is that abusers often learnt “how” through personal experience.

The key point is not to look at someone who has been abused and think that they are likely going to become an abuser.

They just assumed a constant draw I think.

No, but I don’t think you’re appreciating how difficult it would be to fill that 3%. It’s not just about having 3% more power from something. It’s having it at the right time. It needs to be on demand. Having something on demand that has to cover all it’s costs selling just 3% isn’t easy.

It’s more resilient to have mixed supply where multiple types of generation take a proportion. Then when one falls short another can scale up a little.

If somebody has to keep that gas generator serviced only to run it on winter mornings, that electricity is going to be very pricey.

Rules that apply to all nations, much like we have for Antarctica.

Exactly. They’re not “accusing Putin”. They are saying to Trump " He is humiliating you! What are you going to do about it?"

I’ve tried this a few times. I don’t think it works.

Basically the way you want to explain a piece of reasoning , and the order in which things need to be defined for a program, are different. You end up either making the document match the code structures, or the code structure match the document. Both are bad.

I can speak a bit on the UK as I live there.

The use of gas is for two things.

• Balancing against wind and solar, both of which can evaporate at certain times of year. Without more storage we’re left in a position where we basically need to be able to support 30GW of demand just on gas.

• Frequency stabilisation and cold start capability. We never seem to drop below 4GW of gas (or biomass - anything spinning mass) generation. Even if we had excess wind and solar, some gas will be burnt “just in case”.

Right now we need more storage, and better connections from the new sources of power (the coast for wind and international connectors) to the centres of demand (the cities). Power stations were historically located much closer to where the demand is, and our electricity grid is still shaped by that.

Today has been a good example. Lots of wind and sun but still 16% gas. We even switched some wind farms off today because we couldn’t get the power to where it was needed or a way to store it.

there’s just no market demand for it

Oh… There’s demand for it for sure.

The image generation models that exist are unquestionable proof of demand for penises. I think what’s missing is the kahunas required to make a business around it. There are places even pornographers fear to tread.

You know how when you look at a picture of someone and you cover up the clothed bits, they look naked. Your brain fills in the gaps with what it knows of general human anatomy.

It’s like that.

That could be a socially healthy place to end up at. I don’t see it anytime soon though. Just look at the other response I got.

Disagree. Not CSAM when no abuse has taken place.

That’s my point.
