It is a common trophy for prominent romans to trace their heritage down to the gods in order to add legitimacy to their extraordinariness. Jupiter knocked up virgins left and right, that was a common story why someone would be in a heritage of devine decent. I believe the biblic storytellers did the same to give their protagonist the legitimacy and importance that was required by the times.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Crows are intelligent birds and learn quickly – even from each other. In Sweden, they are used to collect cigarette butts and bring them to a machine that automatically rewards them with peanuts.
10·15 days agoBut their social media hype campaign worked and will be regurgitated as feel good news for a few years. Ghost hype trains still go choochoo!

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite (GamersNexus new Linux Benchmarking is here!)English
1·27 days agoStill, it is okay for a big channel to avoid inciting fomo. Being a late adopter is also okay. Linux has enough media coverage to be found once you are ready for change.

Buy European@feddit.uk•Saab says Canada's air force could have Gripen fighter jets in as little as 3 yearsEnglish
4·27 days agoSaabs offering includes manufacturing it in Canada. It is complicated technology and you might get humans educated in this field so you could make your own next time.
I’m more productive if I have to reboot between work and leisure.
Have you done it? With grub not bios switching efi partitions?
Yeah you need to tell grub-mkconfig in /etc/default/grub to run the os-prober on everything during updates and put it in the cfg, but bazzite is immutable and seems to be only configured for parallel windows and it’s own version history. If i read the docs correctly, screenshot in other comment.
I could only find the ugly bios option, normally the os-prober of grub-mkconfig would be configurable to take care of it, but we are immutable there. I assume this is also valid for debian or arch:

Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.
Good old days :') I only noticed yesterday the grsec patches are no longer available, such a shame.
I always wondered, did anyone ever find something with it? Wouldn’t a rootkit that is known enough to be in the detection file be outdated? But yes, you read the docs, points to you!
Fuck yeah, that’ll show them!
You can’t impress me with a bog standard Gentoo. If you want to show power, build a fortress. At least put some tripwire you mostly trip yourself on (program that keeps an encrypted hash database of your system files to find intrusion changes, needs an update with every update of course or it alerts only your negligence).
Ah yes, a Linux teenagers power fantasy. Hardened Gentoo and Selinux beats deblobbing btw, noob.

Buy European@feddit.uk•How do I easily invest in green, European businesses?English
2·1 month agoThere are private, closed investment funds for things like windmills in the north sea, but these are of course super non-diversified and non-liquid. You could also try to find an etf that matches your preferences as much as possible and use a cheap/free neobroker to buy it, for example: Amundi MSCI Europe SRI Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF DR ©, you can see the full list of holdings at Amundis website
I would go the etf route, because it is diversified and you can get your funds out at any time, you also don’t have minumum or maximum amounts of investment. In some countries you can even do it tax free as a pension.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Should I buy an Alienware X51 r2 for 100$?English
7·2 months agoI wouldn’t. 10-15 years of age is a long time for silicon chips, it is a matter of time until some voltage regulator dies and gaming is a power intensive use that could easily overload the remaining chips. And these are the static parts, the hinges and fans could also spell trouble. Even if you can get it for free you should at least repaste the cooling and check and maybe replace the ssd. Linux… not sure if this laptop is from the igpu/gpu switching for powersavings era that spawned bumblebee and never worked really well but watch out you don’t accidentally game on the igpu and you definitely need to use nvidias odd-supported legacy driver.

theNetherlands@feddit.nl•Waarom is vermogensbelasting geen groot thema in Nederland?Nederlands
3·2 months agoOmdat ‘eigen verantwoordelijkheid’ heilig is verklaard. Het triumph van het individu over het gemenebest, de overheid, samenhang zit er diep in. De Nederlandse droom is een eigen huis met tuin in de buurt van water waar iedereen je met rust laat, sowieso de blastingdienst. Dat terzijde, het afschaffen van de hypotheekrenteaftrek was een verkiezingspunt dat het subsidieren van huizenaankoop had gestopt, een soort vermogensbelasting. Komt steeds weer op omdat het de huizenmarkt duurder maakt. En komt er niet doorheen omdat je te veel huizenbezitters hebt. Dus worden belastingen verhoogt door de belastingtabellen niet te indexeren en iedereen bij een salarisverhoging het duurdere deel in te schuiven, of door de btw omhoog te gooien en de toeslagen zodat vooral de middenklasse wordt geraakt.

That’s really cute until you apply the “alive in wrong space at wrong time” philosophy to cockroaches and termites. Clean your house and keep the local wildlife outside.












You guys have a government? :O We only have formation talks and a demissionary minority kabinet that stumbles ahead. Our polititians deserve a medal in this incompetence race, too.
