Ever since the puck (and needing right click for some 3D modelling software - Ray Dream Studio), I’ve been using third party mice with any Apple computer I use. I had almost forgotten they even make mice.

Let me guess, UltraAV whitelabels Kaspersky…

The United Kingdom (and hilariously, it’s an American company that employs me and gives me private healthcare).

This is madness. Where I’m from, we have a nationalised healthcare system and yet my employer offers private healthcare coverage for no additional cost to myself (free)!

It’s like the PHB. You don’t need to read it cover to cover but there’s a couple of chapters you’ll want to read entirely up front and then it’s just a resource with suggestions on how to adjudicate various scenarios.

Which I always find kind of hilarious since it’s basically expressed on the first page of the DMG.

None of which are intelligence, and all of which are catered towards predicting the next token.

All the models have a total reliance on data and structure for inference and prediction. They appear intelligent but they are not.

Thank you! What a clickbaity title.

Team Ginger all the way!

Not entirely. Yes there was blight affecting crops but there was more to it than that.

Huge volumes of unaffected produce were exported to England for profit - the decreased yields only impacting the market for locals. Previous famines has seen the British ban exports to ensure the local population had access to food (which also decreased the prices) but not this time around.

English landlords of Irish property were evicting their tenants who weren’t able to pay (since the blight impacted many people’s ability to work) with zero notice or rights for the tenants. Absentee landlords were extracting huge amounts of capital out of the Irish economy, owning vast swathes of the entire country.

The Irish were widely dependent on the potato as a primary form of sustenance but it was due to the potato being high in calories, cheap and easy to grow, and high density yields from relatively small plots of land (landlords dividing up the land into incredibly small divisions whilst simultaneously extracting the highest rent possible for the land).

The Irish were, in essence, forced to eat potatoes due to the extreme economic exploitation they were subject to.

Yet there was no aid from England; she simply sat by reaping profit and leaving things up to the divine - “the market will provide”. There had been efforts to change tariffs and laws but the contention in the governing party about providing aid caused the Prime Minister to resign and the subsequent government threw out all efforts (except those such as offering relief to those without land which forced many Irish to sell what land they had to gain relief and aid).

A Prime Minister at the time launched a commission to investigate and it was found that the absentee landlord system was abhorrent and principally responsible for the famine.

Sadly 1/4 of the population perished, and another 1/4 simply left the country. In some ways, Ireland never recovered.

Then don’t use the apps? You’re getting angry about free apps that you aren’t forced to use or even install (they are not even installed by default so you chose to install them).

Also as a LiO user since StarOffice, Apple’s apps are totally different beasts and I don’t see how they could be compatible. It’s like comparing Scrivener to WordGrinder; sure you can write a letter in both but they’re still fundamentally different apps with different functionality and design goals and their file formats aren’t ODF because of that.

If you need ODF/OOXML-like word processing, use apps that support them. Don’t expect non ODF/OOXML-like word processors to handle files they’ve no reason to be mucking about with.

Just remove the apps and install Libre Office? You can literally drag the apps to the trashcan.

I agree with you. It’s not identity, it’s an account. Laypersons are used to drivers licenses (IDs) and bank accounts. The rename is definitely a welcome change and makes Apple consistent with Microsoft and Google etc.

Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia has a capacity of 100,000 and instead of being surrounded by parking, it’s surrounded by parks.

Microsoft aren’t kicking people out of kernel space but expanding the capabilities in user space to minimize the reasons to need to run security components in kernel mode so they can develop and deploy solutions with minimal risk (no security vendor wants that risk when they’re running on business/enterprise machines like CrowdStrike).

Kicking everyone out of the kernel is a long journey and even Apple, who are much further along this path, still haven’t completely closed the door on kernel extensions. It’ll be several Windows versions yet before kernel drivers are no longer a thing.

Eugene Jarvis made such awesome games. If you loved Smash TV back in the day, you should check out Nex Machina for a modern take on his classic twin stick shooters.

Neo Scavenger is such a gem of a game. I’ve been hoping Ostranauts would get since love since the premise is awesome but the textures/tiles were too low contrast / visually noisy for me to really love the game. This gives me hope.

Totally recommend picking up Neo Scavenger even not on sale - such a blast and some totally crazy things can happen in that game that makes it really compelling to play over and over even if you die.

Nonsense. If they were perfect, wouldn’t they have used a question mark? Your judgement of character is laughable. What empirical evidence is there that they are perfect?

(How was that?)

Yeah I mean come on, this is absolutely stunning /s
