It's pseudoscience in both cases, saying you're so and so because your personality is INFJ has almost as little value as correlating to being a gemini. Now if you find some sense in those personality types, maybe that contains some lessons.

idiotic takes make them an idiot.

just before that comment i was in a thread where they (op hacktheprisons) insisted through dozen of comments that they've never seen anyone ever say that biden and trump are two sides of the same coin, as a justification to vote for trump or to not vote at all.

reminds me of the improv "Bears gotta get knowledge" on the Dropout show Play It By Ear.

This one.

I have never agreed more with a stranger on a topic so niche

In Switzerland we don't even have Amazon. We can order from one of the neighbourhing countries' Amazon, but they don't always ship here. There are a lot of alternatives though.

The sad thing is I knew at the time, but lack of games and, most of all, the lack of my friends having it, made the dreamcast lose in favour of its contenders.

I thought the Dreamcast earned this title

My bad, I edited my comment.

So two ministers of the actual israelian governement are now "two random dudes".

These misconceptions indeed do not excuse supporting Hamas, which is why I said demanding a ceasefire and an investigation into a potential genocide and denouncing Hamas' terrorist acts aren't exclusive positions.

Disagreeing with someone saying there is a genocide happening, when there is indeed one happening, is not just a matter of opinion, it is effectively denying the suffering of thousands, or giving it some legitimacy. You can't just complain about hostility when your opinion, whether consciously or not, carries its own share of violence.

 

Hello everyone!

As a photographer without a lot of money, my girlfriend used external drives to backup her files. A few years ago, she was able to upgrade to two 8tb WD My Book: one that she uses on a day to day basis, the other as an exact copy (thank's SuperDuper!).

But we now want to upgrade to a NAS. Since we will need a lots of storage (I was thinking four 8tb drives, so that we can have a few tb each with redundancy), I was wondering if I could use the drives inside the My Book in our NAS?

I could just open it, but I don't want to ruin her hd before we buy our NAS, and I can't find any reliable info about what's inside. I'm sure there are some reliability issue in using used hd in a NAS, I'm just curious.

 

Hello community!

I come to you for advice. Using an m1 macbook air since 2020, I installed popos on my old 2013 macbook pro and I was quite happy with it but... I bought a steamdeck two weeks ago and exploring its desktop mode made me reconsider some choices. Using distros based on different systems, with different commands, desktop environment, etc. gets a little confusing for someone like me, who doesn't use linux as my main machine. Do you have any advice for me? From what I understand, steamos is debian-based while popos is ubuntu-based: is that the biggest part of how a distribution works, ie commands, etc.? Good ui/ux is important for me so i should maybe use nitrux or deepin, that are debian-based, or is it a bad idea to choose a less common distro for a amateur like me?

Thanks in advance, I'm a bit lost.

 

A lot of things come and go, planking should come back

 

Following the unfortunate death of Kevin Mitnick, I tried to search an episode where he personally appeared but couldn't find it. I was sure there was one, do you have a suggestion? Much appreciated
