Japan shifting back to nuclear to ditch coal, power AI in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip
[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Woops. I misspoke. Yeah, nuclear is not renewable, but it's a helluva lot better than fossil fuels, and I'm not advocating for nuclear instead of solar/wind/hydro, but if it makes sense to do alongside renewables then I don't see why not, especially as energy demands go up and whatever your opinion getting every single person to comply with not running their own models is not realistic and a kneecap to the technological development.

I'm sure the government of Japan weighed their options and there is a good reason to do nuclear power, especially considering their history.

It's what the people want, so that's what it's gonna be used for, as long as the energy is clean and renewable, what do you care what someone spends their power bill on?

This is a lesson in humanity. Artists can be pieces of shit too and to be an artist, so committed to oneself and one's thoughts is to be to some extent - narcissistic, and in the end they look out for self interest first, and it's only that the AI portion of this threatens their self-interest do they become concerned. #NotAll, ofc.

Like I said before, solidarity of the scorpion with the turtle.

Humanity was too concerned about making the frogs gay, in their grand struggles of ideas, of cultural unity and self-determination, that they completely missed the water made the frogs dead. Or maybe it has idk I hadn't read the article lol.

It's not solvable when you're Bri*ISH and your entire government, local, city and country are landlords and give no fucks

washing machines, parking, central heating/AC, pools, gardens, outdoor grills, wet and dry bars, basements, rumpace rooms, home theaters.

Aw hell naw. Tell me you've never been poor enough to have to use a shared washing machine or even a laundromat without telling me you never had to. Those things are absolutely disgusting.

I used to believe in dense housing in cities until I had two sets of psycho upstairs neighbours and no thanks, I want to be as far away from another human being as reasonably feasible at all times, nevermind not share a fucking pool with one.

Why is RetroArch such absolute garbage? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

RetroArch never works right. Even once you get past the cores and all the other stupid bs, once you get to setting up the controls it never works right, most buttons just do not work in game, if they even work in the menus.

So many years, so much effort, all wasted.

It's still so much easier to keep BlastEm, Snes9x, Duckstation and whatever else installed, so much faster to set up controls and most of the time you don't even need to as everything works out of the box.

And yet plebbit will say nuhhh use muh libretro cores!!!!1 so heckin' wholesome Keanu chungus 100!!! I love my wife's boyfriend!!!!111 Thanks Reddit!!!!!

what's with the anti-left sentiment on slrpnk? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

This place is nice. What does it mean? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

The concept of a public Unix box is neat, but why? Is this a way to connect with like-minded people? Is this locational? I've known about this for a while and I don't really understand the purpose. What is anonradio? Lipsy gopher show? I have so many questions, I'd love some answers.

Is there an example program that illustrates how a buffer overflow attack actually executes arbitrary code? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've found lots of examples in C of programs illustrating buffer Overflows, including those of pointer rewrites which has been of great help in understanding how a buffer overflow works and memory safety etc. but I've yet to be able to find an example illustrating how such a buffer overflow can rewrite a pointer in such a way that it actually results in code execution?

Is this just not a thing, or is my google-fu rust y? Tried ChatGPT and my local Mistral and they both seem unable to spit out precisely what I'm asking, so maybe I'm wording this question wrong.

If anyone in here knows, could point me in the right direction? Thanks y'all btw love this community 🧡

Can't figure out how to get Plank working on Wayland (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hey y'all

So I've been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can't seem to get Plank working.

Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).

These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?

Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

is this an AnPrim space? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well.

But I gotta ask, is this instance anprim/anti-civ? I see green in the sub banner. It's not really a worldview I vibe with since I'm very much pro-tech, pro-civ, pro-AI, pro-medicine and pro-LGBT & disability rights, so if the majority here are of that persuasion I should probably bail, don't want to argue or start fights.
