Is guys really needed after youse?

The guys is needed where there's no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that

Yeah, I agree that's not great but it's still not a reason to risk rushing in to making it worse

Personally I think the fact it's unelected is great, but the way people get into it isn't so great, so would rather have reform but keeping it unelected or at most indirectly elected, with voting rights going to MBE holders (or a pool of MBE holders elected by the commons in some format which accounts for party makeup of the commons) or all Livery Company/Professional Association leaders or some other group which should know their stuff better than both the people we currently have in the lords or career politicians

The argument in favour of the lords is it allows scrutiny on laws without party politics - if something is stupid but popular their job is to say no, when the commons would want to push it through to increase their reëlection chances. Replacing them with an elected chamber is just as bad as completely removing them in that case.

I think intel support it (or at least a translation layer) but there's no motivation for Nvidia to standardise to something open-source as the status quo works pretty well

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can't compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

And here I was thinking Arc and storage were the only semi-competitive wings of intel... They just needed a couple of years for adoption to increase

High school depends, if you're bullied or don't work well in that setting or feel under too much social pressure to do what's cool then it's ~borderline~ torture, otherwise sure it's great

If it's a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it's grave robbing, but even if someone knows it's their 224x great grandparent then if there's no memory either directly or even via oral history then it's definitely archaeology

There's a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it's up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

most distros have something, yeah, generally called [something] monitor

can't ban pages anymore with https, and while they don't want to be lumped in with the authoritarian states that ban all on Wikipedia, they are like them at heart

The point of sanctions is to make it harder to run a country, part of that is making the citizens angry with the government

They don't target Russians outside of Russia, and do target non-Russians in Russia, because they're meant to actually be somewhat effective rather than just inciting hate

Sure, but people have memory and if you block people who aren't even going to contribute to the running costs of the site via the channels they provide, never mind profit, then from the site owners perspective it's pretty great if you recognise it as a site you don't want to visit as you likely won't come back

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
