It could loopback to you…

IMHO everyone is entirely missing the point pointing their finger at Boeing.

The main issue is the FAA and how it failed to control Boeing. It’s obvious a business will try to sacrifice safety for money. But there should be check and balances. Someone making sure a business doesn’t do that.

The FAA let Boeing supervise itself.

Just to be clear some of the higher up at Boeing are criminals but so is the cop that told him he could police himself.

Also if you put “sensitive” information in your history by mistake you can use “history -d <line#>” to remove it.

Unfortunately I had to use this command too many times.

I have the same version with the white spot on the chest :)

Are we bros ?

Seriously, some people are that good that you know they could do almost anything very well in a matter of days.

So why not ? I always have a lot of respect for someone that is willing to drastically change their lives in order to improve.

We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.

Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.

Also as DDG is based in the US it is most likely legally bound to give your informations to any agency with a nice gag order on top of it.

I can’t imagine any serious privacy oriented business to be headquartered in the US.

The whole better privacy is true with DDG but certainly not to the extent people would like to think.

That being said DDG has decent search results and is slightly better than Google for privacy. Google is an ecosystem so every little bit you don’t give them is a success.

It’s really too bad we don’t have good private search engines…

Same devs as the Nvidia driver installer?

I always select the custom install option and always get recommended the same version that is already installed.

(Physics engine or something).

Oh no you have to say it out loud EVERY time ?

I would use the second one as a backup.

You could use one of these USB SDcard reader and script something that backups the content of the running/live SDcard to the second one on the USB stick. With dd or something you could have an always ready backup SDcard of the RasPi system.

That or using an old Android phone as a media center and putting the second SDcard in that.

Or using an old Android phone as a surveillance camera but that would be a bit overkill to have 256Gb.

Also if you have an early model of the Switch you could hack it to run pi… homebrews and in that case having a super large SDcard could be good.

Rocket league.

I thought it was just some soccer car game and could not see the complexity and skill required to master the game.

Went back to the game years later and pretty much never dropped it then.

I will just say that the recent video from Veritasium about night vision goggles does indeed say that you see better the blue light in the dark rather than the green.

And that’s why high end military grade night vision goggles are in the blue spectrum.

Now code is imprinted straight to your retina.

You can see the code long after in your sleep and keep on optimizing it.

Is there a feature to migrate users from one instance to another ?

I think it will be important when some instances will shut down. As long as people can move, then I think we can spread out the load.

I know my instance is handling the load very well and I’m really grateful for it.

Oh I’m sure the incredibly powerful lobby you are speaking about will be totally fine with a law dictating the way they style and display their packaging.

Also the pure nightmare of implementing in law what you say for a wide range of products. Let’s say I want to sell an individual vegan “steak” but I can’t put a large packaging just for the label ?

Also, the purposefully misleading labels in the food industry is already pretty common so I think I’m not exaggerating when I say than any gap in the law will be abused.

And it’s again extremely difficult to protect one single word without it’s context.

For instance, in steaks we usually try to have the amount of fat in it because it gives you an indication of the amount of actual meat in your steak. Because I could wildly vary the amount and sell you 0.1% meat steaks that is actually vegetables which is much cheaper. It is not the first time that the food industry has tried to sell litteral fake meat. It’s an expensive product and if you can make it for cheap and keep at the same price it’s obviously worth it.

What I genuinely don’t understand is why vegan products are trying so hard to look like non vegan products?

Is it important for a bunch of vegetables composition to be called a steak ? If anything I would think a vegan product would want to stand out from standard meat ?

You won’t convert to veganism people by selling them fake steaks. It doesn’t work.

You achieve so much more teaching kids that eatings meals without meat is fine and we are starting to do it in schools.

But thinking someone that ate meat all his life will become vegan because he found this wonderful vegan steak is imo quite delusional and missing the point.

Food industry wants to sell you a product not matter how. Less restrictions for them is not a good news.

I definitely think people can and WILL get confused by purposefully confusing packaging.

If the law says you can use vegetarian steak the producer will put an ultra large font STEAK and a minuscule “vegetarian” in front.

So laws that ban explicit sentences are absolutely useless and will be avoided in a matter of minutes.

I’m all for french people eating less meat but it will never work by “tricking” the consumers by using meat terms for vegetarian food.

And I’m not gatekeeping the meat words for it. I just think we can easily find new words for vegan products and that’s fine and avoid getting misleading products.

Seriously, what is the real-world impact here? Imagine for a second that some miracle vegetarian steak could be confused for a beef one. Why does it matter? Someone might accidentally eat a vegetable?

I’m sorry but you have no issues with a product label being misleading as long it’s pushing people to eat vegetables?

Would you have the same opinion if it was an animal steak being sold to you as “Vegan steak” ?

Point is, we don’t want misleading names for products. Imo people are actively trying to make this topic a political one when it’s a consumer protection issue.

If it’s not a steak, call it something else. It will be clearer for the consumer.
