lol and now they’re playing AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’.
In case you’re not watching, the disappointed faces of Trump and his toadies are actually quite enjoyable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Unp5XoyXg
It gets better ⚡⛈️
There are word filters for Lemmy?
See also this commentary on Democracy Now! by a former US government spokeswoman, the part beginning at about 20:40.
lmgtfy always was needlessly unfriendly, but in the age of search result enshittification, it’s even lost the excuse of technically providing a good solution (at least in cases like this).
Creating a live USB with persistence is lengthy and even the decent tutorials out there vary greatly in their suggested approach, making it perfectly legitimate (even for non-beginners) to ask for guides that others have found helpful.
What a needlessly unfriendly response.
Also, more amateur-ish, but trying to get a scoping overview over the arguments against the gate theory: https://classictheology.org/2021/10/12/through-the-eye-of-an-actual-needle-the-fake-gate-theory/
And maybe bring up actual positive initiatives, like unionization, whenever discussions do revolve around his self-serving talking points.
Some local libraries (e.g. in Heidelberg) or ecological initiatives lend devices to measure electricity consumption at the power plug. In particular, this is useful to measure other appliances as well.
Specifically for computers, they probably have some means to tell you their own consumption, but they may not be accurate or complete and will most certainly omit any peripherals, e.g. external hard drives.
In case anyone wonders about the context, this is the paragraph:
In April, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale got into a brawl with former Coinbase chief technology officer and Network State advocate Balaji Srinivasan. It wasn’t on a prominent stage or even Twitter/X; it happened in a Signal group chat that’s become a virtual gathering place for influential tech figures. Srinivasan wasn’t going along with the tech right’s aggressive anti-China rhetoric, so Lonsdale accused him of “insane CCP thinking.” “Not sure what leaders hang out w you in Singapore but on this you have been taken over by a crazy China mind virus,” he wrote.
There’s also SomaFM, a listener-supported, commercial-free radio project that has numerous stations with very great music selection that are suitable for coding. It’s quite nice not to have to decide about individual songs, and it’s free from large capitalist corporations like Spotify.
For Linux, I have described in a comment how one can get an easy command line control over SomaFM stations: https://feddit.org/post/9775341/6942148

TIL about the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. From Wikipedia:
The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is a cognitive bias describing the tendency of individuals to critically assess media reports in a domain they are knowledgeable about, yet continue to trust reporting in other areas despite recognizing similar potential inaccuracies.
Rubio was even worse by the way (on the two or so occasions where the camera showed him).
