While true that originally it also meant “balance” (in late latin we later got the word bilanx for scales - literally two plates), lb is for latin libra, and it was an actual specific weight (with a corresponding economical value in the Roman as coin) in use since the Roman republic, and it has remained in use for more than two millennia all over the world (with slighly different values depending on time and place, but usually between 350-450grams). It’s not an accident the the UK pound stirling coin still has the same L shaped symbol £, same as the italian lira, etc

Got him

Or should I write Goþim

She’s transgender victorous now, thank you very much

100% And it’s almost always a corpo fuckwit that constantly needs financial help everytime they build, hire, tank the business, and political help with ad-hoc rules and laws. Losers, they probably couldn’t compete with the little guy in a fair fight. Sorry for the rant

Exactly.

We like sportz and we don’t care who knows. Also, we are just 2 guyz and we’re having a good time (:

You’re not way off, digital is superior and less wasteful in theory, and in a progressive society we’d have already realised that digital goods should be transferable and should not expire (= should not have DRM), certainly not sooner than physical goods! We do not live in that society atm (:

A practical example from experience: a steam game can only be gifted (aka transferred) to another account if you buy at least a second copy/key. The first copy is therefore less valuable than a game on a physical copy, that I can lend or gift to a friend.

Don’t despair, Vespair,

I like your vibe btw;

Being on the penguin side,

having a sharper mind,

does not garantee.

Let me assure thee,

for plenty of us,

are plenty dumb.

Unauthorized Bread is a tale of immigration, the toxicity of economic and technological stratification, and the young and downtrodden fighting against all odds to survive and prosper.

So good and probably my favourite of the four stories

Womb Raiders

I’d be worried even more of the tip not going to him

Fantastic video! As an amateur I put the pickups at the top right away and found the third company’s response to be the most genuine (who put the player first then the pickups)

About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding

Ez pz

How many trees to send some text? Lol, my aging phone depletes its battery more if I don’t use it xD

I just have a high level of distrust of FAANG, and of proprietary software; I still use most stuff I’m not very extreme in practice

Who’s to say that local LLM model won’t be used when we leave our device on standby, to ease a usage spike from other users? It’s technically possible, the things stopping many companies are the potential legal trouble (but there’s an ever longer TOS for that), different levels of morality, company culture, etc.; many botnets were from simple games installed by regular people connected on a residential line. Some VPNs have been caught using their clients line as an endpoint for other clients in different countries

You could say it’s a ridiculous thought for now regarding this “hidden” Gemini local LLM, I just feel like it’s a possibilty.

Bingo

Probably a ridiculous notion but personally I wouldn’t feel 100% sure my device isn’t joining a distributed bot net ai datacenter for other people’s slop generation, burning my energy, my battery, my ssd (higher temps shorten their half life) without my consent

It’s from KDE so usually Linux

Edit: …realising there’s also Dolphin Emulator and now I’m also confused lol but still feel they’re talking about KDE file manager vs Win Explorer

Yea and they’re increasing too, skirting immissions regulations by being imported as agricultural machines

I’m sure it’s fiiine, lots of babies are doing it. They can’t read your PSA anyway so it’s all good :P
