I use it, just because some people’s first reaction in an argument is to look you up. While if you hide it then googling you takes longer and is not ordered properly. Hell a while back I replied to someone about my opinion on something and the first thing he said is “a guy who’s into x hobby can’t seriously have valid opinions”. So yes, since then, my profile is private.

But even if it were, wouldn’t a dyson sphere on the sun mean no more sunlight left for the rest of us humans on earth? We’d have to build it on a neighboring star, which would then complicate bringing it back.

It will always feel so weird to me watching a movie in French french, the villain trying to sound badass or evil but then says something in the parisian accent. It fails everytime, it basically sounds funny. Hell even their insults sound funny for some reason, not in their choice of words but in the delivery.

Well if you go back 500 years, every little corner of france has their own version of french, with Paris speaking roughly what they speak today. Canadians descend from other regions, mostly the north and west and inherited their way of speaking. So I call it “actual french” but really I just mean the french that was most common at the time, since this was the most populated region of france with a lot less people living in Paris.

This can be traced to a variety of sounds that we have in canadian french that are present throughout France as accents but not in the modern “standard french”. Such as the “eu” in “beurre”.

I don’t really have a source for this, this is what they teach us in school.

There are plenty of dialects in france similar to or worse than Quebecois. Maybe I’m biased, but to me parisian french is the one that sounds bad. In the end it was the accent of the nobility, hence why it sounds so pompous, while Quebecois was the accent of the commoners.

Vous parlez mal". i.e. You speak badly. I’ll never forget the horror in her eye

It’s funny that she would think that our french is worse than theirs, when canadian french is closer to actual french than parisian french.

For some reason Newfoundlanders have been the butt of every joke for a long time and I still have no idea why.

By default, most FDE have horrible performance hits and require significant tweaking, configuring and benchmarking to get it right depending on hardware, use cases, conditions… I’m sure there are quite a bunch of people out there who don’t want to do any tweaking while still having the performance they paid for.

/var/log and the likes aren’t really issues, I just have mine as a link to the real one in an eCryptfs folder. Though I guess you’d be right about qbittorrent, this is something pretty rare.

In the most paranoid hypothetical scenario, someone could mount your unencrypted /usr/bin and replace openssl with a compromised version.

I suppose if you’re in this situation, you have way more important things to deal with. That would imply someone has physical access to your computer, at that point if they really want to know what you’re doing they might as well setup a camera.

Is there any reason to do full disk encryption, vs encrypting a single partiton or a folder with eCryptfs? It’s not like your /usr/bin, etc… needs to be encrypted, but encrypting it reduces performance.

I have no clue what you’re trying to say.

If I ask an AI to write an email and it does so both better and faster than I could, how can you say it’s inconvenient and doesn’t save time?

But if it saves time on some simple tasks, how can you say it’s not convenient?

Are you trying to deny that AI is also convenient for regular people?

Pretty sure it would, or at least be close. The brain loses consciousness after 5 to 15 seconds without oxygen.

Mods are what make rimworld great. Since they wouldn’t work on mobile, I don’t think it would have the same appeal as on PC.

Honestly looking at a bunch of articles it seems mostly fine, even some facts you’d imagine republicans would disagree with seem to be there and mostly objective. It seems buggy on mobile though half the buttons don’t work, my phone runs hot and I get javascript crashes.

Though it feels written by ai, there is a LOT of text that is ultimately saying the same things over and over, or not really saying anything, greatly inflating the size of articles.

Though generally with fruits the added amount of vitamins and all the good stuff that’s concentrated in the skin far outweighs the small amount of pesticides you might consume.

There is, but it’s a massive effort. I do try it sometimes and I do have more vegan recipes than before, but I can’t just replace meat in my meat stew with tofu. The more time passes the more vegan recipes I have in my repertoire. I do try to avoid red meat and replace it with chicken or fish though, honestly I care more about the health aspect than the ethical one.

I’d do it too if only because it’s heathier, but almost every recipe I know has meat in it that’s pretty hard to replace, it wouldn’t be easy. Maybe if/when meat gets more expensive, I might give it a try.

That’s something I’ll never be able to understand. Something having no beginning. Just like I’ll never be able to understand a moment before the big bang, or at the moment of the singularity, where time did could not exist. If there’s no time, how can anything, like the big bang, happen? Unfortunately the singularity is something we know nothing about whatsoever, and probably will never know.
