Probably because "save the planet" and "we're pumping more oil than ever" don't go well together.
Scuse my ignorance, but why put 'won' in quotes? Did he not actually win?
I didn't completely leave behind reddit. I still view, but I only comment/post on lemmy.
lol@ this. My bet what is actually happening: cost cutting or future nitro feature.
I don't think this will happen. What they want is for PCs to be like phones, a closed system where you are pretty much locked into installing anything you want on your PC(and thus anything you buy as well) from their exclusive app store. The cloud thing just extra expense for no real benefit to them. However if there's an opportunity to push one drive you can be sure they will. And MS has been trying to move in this direction since windows 8.

it will be a banking experience where musk will get all of your banking data. I bet that's why he's so into it and the "do everything" super app approach.

Someone that youtube blocks now is a customer for youtubes now/eventual competitor. You might say they're low quality since they won't pay or view ads, but they still share and maybe upload content.
agreed, paywall. Not subscribing to a dozen different news websites, and bloomberg wouldn't make the cut anyway.
You know what would be hilarious? Eventually blue sky buys the leftovers of twitter and renames itself twitter. Although by that time it may not be a prudent move. So maybe not.
Lol, good luck at trying to get meta to listen to what users really want.

My only issue with this is that it is specifically directed at jewish people. This is common practice in america regardless of whether you're jewish or not. For example I'm circumcised and my parents have never been jewish. Otherwise yes, stop circumcising your kids.
Americans are desperate for change, but half of them want to go backward and half want to go forward. Add to that it basically takes a supermajority to pass legislation that makes real changes and well... you're pretty much left with things you can do via the executive branch.
So yes, a big part of the problem is that neither party really has the ability to appeal to the other "side" at all. We need sweeping social change before we get sweeping political change.

I seriously doubt this is a good faith effort by meta to be a part of the fediverse. Give this article a read. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
yeah after doing more research it seems 99% isopropyl is better for what I want to use it for anyway, and that's what I ordered. So not really looking for this anymore, and yeah someone else pointed out what you did and I admit it was a bad assumption that it was 100% alcohol.
I actually ordered a bottle of 99% isopropyl to give that a try
I think the point that it's not 100% is fair. It's just hardware store denatured alcohol and I assumed it was 100% since every other alcohol bottle either says proof or %, which was a mistake on my part regardless of whether it is actually 100% or not. It has always worked better for me than 91% isopropyl though and was the only other thing available.
I don't... sounds like something I should have had many years ago though.

What happened to denatured alcohol?
I'm in US-GA and I cannot find denatured alcohol locally. WTF happened? I need something 100% alcohol for cleaning electronics.

help w/vrchat build(on a budget) pc VR with quest 2
Sooo... I'm wanting to give vrchat a shot, but I haven't upgraded my PC in a long time since I haven't needed to. And I mean, I guess if it can't be done then it can't be done.
So here's what I have now: ryzen 1700x w/16gb of ram and a b450 mb. I can go to 32gb if needed, it has 4 ram slots. The GPU is a rx 570 4gb. PSU: uh... I'll have to look. it was ok at the time, it's like a 550w psu.
So clearly that isn't going to give a very good PC VR experience. I mean I'm sure it would run vrchat on desktop just fine but that isn't what I want.
So here's what I WAS thinking:
undefined
5700/xt - $150 ish used - unfortunately the power consumption on this is kinda high and makes me think a new psu would be in order. but throwing it out there anyway. 5600/x - 130 ish used extra 16gb of ram if I need it - $30-40 Oculus quest 2 - preowned(I'm fine with preowned for everything). $150-$200 AX router or usb adapter in ad-hoc dedicated to airlink - $30-60(adapter -> basic router)

Food frugal: So I'm looking to mimic this thai peanut noodle box.
So I guess this is half frugal and half just wanting a guilty pleasure with as little effort as possible, but I used to eat some box noodles that I had to cut out because the price went way up on them. It's so ridiculous, used to be like $2 a box before the pandemic, now it is hard to find for less than $5. Anyway the product is taste of thai peanut noodles. I can link to it if needed. But here's why I liked it.
- I'm on a limited diet, so no wheat, dairy, and a few other minorish things due to food allergies. This eliminates most box noodles and a lot of good options for portable meal things.
- good # of calories. 600ish calories in a box. Not too much sodium, less than most box noodles. Not that I need to watch sodium but ya know. The amount most things like canned food and instant noodles have is just downright suffocating.
- tasty and filling. What can I say? it's peanut noodles, way better than most box noodles. imo anyway.
- very portable. I just need water and a microwa

Interesting warmapper post about the front line(screen capture)


War Mapper @War_Mapper 7h Recent satellite imagery reveals a 20km wide band of green along the frontline, stretching across farmland that cannot be maintained due to the war.


The day before, we wrote that Raytheon would increase production of MIM-104 Patriot and PAC-3 interceptors, while Ukraine received five more batteries of anti-aircraft missile systems. The Wall Street Journal article stated this. However, there is another interesting statement in the piece.

the wall street journal is the original source for the article but iirc it is paywalled.

Institute for the Study of War - Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 14, 2023
Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations in at least three directions and made gains on June 14. Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar stated on June 14 that Ukrainian troops have advanced between 200 to 500 meters in unspecified
