I’m skeptical of this list. I’ve lived in Colorado and Maryland and there is no way Maryland is healthier than Colorado.

That was the intent. Take a look at the judge who made the decision.

Haven’t tested it against meta glasses. Essentially it requires the MAC address of the device and pings the shit out of it. May or may not work against the glasses.

Requires Linux. But a raspberry pi should do the trick.

I was fortunate. I was offered a research position from an EU country so it comes with a work visa.

I am one of the US scientists who is moving to the EU due to the US’s anti science policies. I, of course, cannot speak for all US scientists, but China is an unlikely draw for most of the scientists I know. While the US is descending into fascism, China is already there. I’m not sure how many people I know are eager to live in that type of system in exchange for funding. I know a few who are heading to the EU and Canada. Those who are in dire straights due to funding issues are switching to industry positions or changing fields altogether. People from China or Hong Kong who are in research positions in the US, I would expect are more likely to go to China though.

I agree it won’t happen. But it is a simple solution.

The majority of problems in the US could be fixed with one simple solution: eliminate lobbying completely. I know some small causes would suffer, but it would overwhelmingly be a good thing. The vast majority of people in congress right now are there because money is involved. They are not there to help or represent their district or state or country. They are there to get rich and it works. If there was no money in politics, more of the people trying to get elected would actually represent the people. It wouldn’t solve everything, but it would be a heck of a start.

Holy. The comments on the article are a dumpster fire. No surprise since it’s Breitbart but still a mess.

Yea, most developed nations are struggling with birth rate. Certainly Finland is one of them.

I was replying to your comment that Finland doesn’t tax their wealthiest. They do tax their wealthy via income. Finland ranks as one of the best countries when considering income inequality.

One consequence of multi-party systems is you’ll find out that every country has a minority of racists. Some nations are higher (~40% approval of trump in the United States is an example). Germany’s AFD party currently has 20%.

I think you might be thinking of Japan. While Finland does have a low birth rate, it is similar to a few other European countries. Japan and China both have lower birth rates.

Finland has a progressive tax. If anything, they do a better job taxing the wealthy than the vast majority of other western countries.

I’ve spent a significant amount of time in Finland, and while there is some xenophobia and racism (like everywhere else) it isn’t “extreme”. There are many countries far worse than Finland.

‘Kevin Kellenbarger, 69, a three-time Trump voter who retired from a printing company, said his Christian faith led him to the Republican Party. The Lancaster, Ohio, resident thinks the president’s immigration crackdown is necessary, though he expressed dissatisfaction at the recent killing of Renee Good by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.’

“I don’t like anybody getting killed, but it wasn’t Trump’s fault,” Kellenbarger said, adding that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, "let millions of people in. They have to be taken out.”

A lot to unpack in that ‘christian’s’ statement.

Did you buy those pants or make them? Where would one buy pants with fire-breathing unicorns on them?

It was likely due to the publicity of the case, but nonetheless the police did their job in this one.

“According to a release from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, a male student is now facing 10 counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence, and more charges could come.”

“Another 37 percent said they believed he has got the balance broadly right, and a further 7 percent said, perhaps surprisingly, that he has not gone far enough.”

This percentage will never change no matter what he does. If in a year, Trump is raping Trump voters’ families, this poll will be exactly the same. This is also why you’ll never see Trump’s approval rating drop below ~38%.

Holy shit that was tough to finish that article. There are so many quotes from this idiot that are just fucking nonsense. Here are my top three:

“It is just as tough,” Liebman exclusively tells Fortune. “Back then, it was more difficult in some ways because you had less neighborhoods that people would live.”

Plus, she says, never has there been more opportunity at young people’s fingertips—not just when it comes to inventory on the market: “If you’re not afraid to show off your skill set, and you try and find yourself an opportunity where you’re going to be appreciated and where people are going to allow you to expand your horizons and hopefully add value to the company that you’re at, I think it’s an unbelievable time.”

“It’s not that expensive,” she adds. “So if you’re willing to move around, which people are now, I think that there are definitely opportunities out there… You’re going to secure a much, much less expensive apartment than if you are insistent on being in the West Village.”

Yea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

It will choose for you, but you can select specific drivers if you’d like. I’ve only had to mess with installing specific drivers on edge cases.

PopOS in my opinion. It (mostly) solves the issue of getting the drivers needed to run GPUs.

I received these socks when I wrecked my ankle in the emergency room so they could fit over my air cast. Or… did I just think I was in the emergency room…. I may have some thinking to do.
