For anyone else wondering what a “MENSA” member is:

Mensa International is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world.[3][4][5] It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardised, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.

I was already questioning why school/university cafeteria staff should get any benefits that aren’t present in other jobs.

Surely you must love VS Codium even more.

Goddammit why do you English speaking people keep dropping letters from words you borrowed. Don’t you know it’s rude to break things someone lent you?

Please no.

The current UI is bad but it has charme. I like the inconsistency as more and more design tweaks piled on.

Any redesign risks keeping the UI bad but only removing the charme.

Pretty decent news for us non-Americans tbh.

It’d be a real shame if fewer GPUs are sold in the US and more supply hits shelves across the rest of the world.

It does increase the likelihood - marginally.

Fingerprint readers always got to balance between false positives and false negatives. If you want to reduce false negatives, false positives must be increased.

This shouldn’t really matter though. False positives are very low as-is so increasing them a little has nearly no impact on security.

Ortis has claimed that some unnamed Five Eyes foreign agent introduced him to the honeypot operation and that he didn’t notify his superiors at the RCMP about it.

How can you trust an unnamed intelligence officer though? For all we know, they might have an actual honeypot competing against Tuta and want to gain marketshare.

After all, intelligence agencies are guaranteed to be the first one’s who discovered Ortis was selling secret information. Might as well give him fake information to spread around and make criminals doubt any previous information sold by him.

Ah, I meant increasing the pressure when I notice it’s a bit too low for my liking.

My shower lever has to be pulled in a specific diagonal direction to increase pressure without causing the temperature to change drastically.

Oh god, same.

I have nearly figured out how to increase the pressure without changing the temperature.

I still boil/freeze myself sometimes though.

Nah, I think it’s neat as well. Lemmy would be more boring if no user had idiosyncrasies.

Hell, I’ve even tagged you with “CC BY-NC-SA 4.0” in my Lemmy client - which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.

The report:

https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/09/update-chair-independent-international-commission-inquiry-ukraine-51st-session

In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from four to 82 years. The Commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined. Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons.

Not at all.

Hardly any Lemmy instance is hosted in the US and other countries never had this section to begin with.

Most Lemmy instances already need to comply with laws making them responsible for keeping illegal content up.

I wish I had top notch gear :(

I just don’t think a price-to-performance improvement of 12.5% for a new generation is good. It’s OK, sure, but nothing to write home about.

It’d be good at $449 and great at $399 but I haven’t seen any leak suggesting these prices.

I just don’t want this card to be an incremental improvement over the 7800 XT instead of a substantial one.

Edit: Wouldn’t this make the 9070 XT pretty much identical to the 7900 GRE both in price and in performance? From what I can tell, the 7900 GRE is the best price-to-performance upper midrange card AMD has.

Hopefully, because something like 10% lower performance at 20% lower price is nothing to be excited about imo.

It’d make a good card if it matched the 7900 XT and a great one if it beat it.

I’m aware, but right now I could purchase a 7900 XT for a bit less than 699€, including 19% VAT - meaning the price before tax is closer to 566€.

Right now there are some leaks suggesting the RX 9070 XT will be sold for $499 - or 476€. After adding 19% VAT it would be 566€ - or 130€ cheaper than the average 7900 XT:

If the card also performs worse than the 7900 XT, I don’t think it has great value.

That’s not that great imo.

In terms of pure numbers, it’s significantly worse than the 7900 XT, which had 5376 shader cores, a 320 bit bus width, 20 GB of GDDR6 memory and a bandwidth of 800 GB/s. Only the boost clock was worse, at 2.4 GHz.

Let’s hope the additional clock and new architecture offsets this to match/beat the 7900 XT.

It’s also not the best idea to sell both an AMD Ryzen 9700X and an AMD Radeon 9700XT.

Storage is fortunately pretty cheap and resource efficient though.

In the grand scale of things, a couple petabytes are like 100 modern 32 TB hard drives. Powering them would require maybe 2 kW?

Countries share information though. And it is not below a fascist US to give China some nice trade deals for detailed information on queer US-Americans. Nor is it for China to accept such a deal.

I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

This isn’t that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior “reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland.”

Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

So the reason for the ban was that hyprland’s developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I’ve rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with “I hope we can resolve this constructively” and “I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me”.
