I feel like the sort of people that want to close libraries, want to close libraries because people use them.

manicdave@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Labour suspends Diane Abbott for second time over racism comments54·17 days agoWhat she said is so obviously true that her comments biggest flaw is it’s redundancy. She’s talking about Tomiwa Owolade’s words on racism in Britain. A copper isn’t going to spot you from 50 yards away and stop you based on the fact that you’re Irish or Jewish because they can’t see that. Security isn’t going to follow you around a shop and hurry you out the door because you’re Irish or Jewish because they can’t see that.
I hate identity politics and hierarchies of oppression and language pedantry and all that more than the next person. But when you pretend to not understand an argument which is so obvious and valid, it’s hard to believe you’re here with honest intent.
manicdave@feddit.ukto /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•What do you all think about this?English18·20 days agoHe’s right. It doesn’t mean you hate foreigners to understand why bosses would prefer to hire someone with less rights and who needs less money to raise their family through remittances.
OP is just atheist propaganda. It’s actually because of ghosts. Don’t get complacent near the corn fields.
manicdave@feddit.ukOPto Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•When you're not the only person watching a peertube videoEnglish21·23 days agoThe underlying tech was designed with HD video conferencing in mind. It’ll happily max out your connection. As long as the server has enough bandwidth to upload one stream and the average peer can handle uploading one stream it’s theoretically infinitely scalable
manicdave@feddit.ukOPto Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•When you're not the only person watching a peertube videoEnglish28·23 days agoI want PewDiePie to try peertube on his self hosting arc, if only to see what happens with thousands of simultaneous viewers.
manicdave@feddit.ukto TechTakes@awful.systems•AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slowerEnglish11·23 days agoThis is a very “nine women can make a baby in one month”.
The idea that there can even be two half as good developers is a misunderstanding of how anything works. If it worked like that, the study would be a dud because people could just run two AIs for 160% productivity.
Is there any plans for yunohost integration?
I’d love to self host piefed just so I can munge my peertube and threadiverse feeds.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full HitlerEnglish18·25 days agoI wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish4·26 days agoI think it was only like 24 hours. It’s all automated though. So you get a thirty second countdown mashing buttons to try and work out how to get your headlights on if you spawn at night.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish11·26 days agoI actually made it because I got banned because I couldn’t use my lights in euro truck simulator 2 multiplayer mod. I’m not sure I’d want to use it in any competitive games as it’d likely break off if I got mad.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish8·26 days agoIt’s an extra 12 button Bluetooth controller using an esp32 dev board. So your games need to allow you to use multiple controllers. You could also program it to send keyboard keys but I haven’t tried it.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish11·26 days agoYou can download an stl for the battery cover. I modified it to allow the backpack controller to attach to/detach from the main controller. The original is in a box somewhere safe and well.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish25·26 days agoWhen your villain origin story is getting banned from a truck simulator mod because you forgot the macro to turn the headlights on.
manicdave@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish57·26 days agoThen there’s the back paddles. Only two of them.
Speak for yourself. Mine has 14 lol
Do we even have mozzies? I thought we just had midges in this country. Maybe I don’t know what a mozzy is.
manicdave@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Israeli embassy 'deeply disturbed' by Bob Vylan's 'death to the IDF' Glastonbury chant20·1 month agoIt’s funny that the chud line is to question the loyalty of the festival goers, when they’re going to bat for an organisation that murdered three British citizens last year.
I’ve always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there’s some part of growing up that they’ve missed.
Tribler has inbuilt onion routing. If I understand it correctly, tribler <-> tribler connections don’t need exit nodes and it’s fast enough to stream video
