There wasn't consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.

How can it be loss if the wall is still standing?

Going nude adds to the fear factor for the intruder. They know you mean business and don't give a rat's ass.

Weird to see Mint ranked below Ubuntu, but I'll take it.

The Gandi quote about Jesus isn't actually from him. However, Indian philosopher Bara Dada in the mid-1920s did say, "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him." So it was probably a common thought among non-Christian believers.

That seems optimistic.

"My party is taking up for pedophiles": Massie explains split with MAGA, Trump - Salon.com in c/news@lemmings.world

It's an older video, but I just ran across one liberal YTer who debates MAGA live, and when the caller asked him to explain why raping kids was a problem... he was just speechless. What do you say to that? And called him a pearl clutcher because of his reaction. Just wow.

Tolkien predicted the failure of marketed AI? I'm not surprised, it's a product of human industry and progress, something he was critical about.

I say marketed AI as it's not really AGI, even though it's sold that way. The good/bad news is that actual progress in AGI will have worse results, and current AI is just demonstrating the issues that will crop up without the faster pace and worse destruction AGI could possibly bring. (See the AI alignment problem for details)

But hey... we learn lessons from history, right?

Right??

Wait, it's all a trolley problem?

It's a weak loss.

Made a thing - an astronomy journal/notebook for observations in c/astronomy@mander.xyz

Thanks for the feedback. I wish Amazon made it easier to provide different selections. I basically have to resubmit the whole thing every time. But I did create a "basic" cover for the small/cheap one.

Made a thing - an astronomy journal/notebook for observations (www.amazon.com)
 

Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page).

Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

Made a thing (www.amazon.com)
 

Made a thing: a couple of Bad Apple puzzle books.

Turned it into a maze book and a word search book because... well, it's Bad Apple, and that's what we do with Bad Apple, right? Find a new medium for it. Available on Amazon for anyone who thinks "I need a physical puzzle book based on a 2007 fan video" is a reasonable thought to have.

Genuinely curious about opinions.

My biggest worry throughout (especially for the word search) was to get the lore as close to accurate as possible. I feel I did my best given the many hours of research, comparing conflicting information out there, and being generally overwhelmed.

At some point, the realization kicks in that what you're doing is causing harm, no matter how far down the road. When you decide to keep going anyway, that's your moment of sitting at the table with the nazis. Doesn't matter if you're totally removed from the evil doings, you're helping, and you know you're helping. And you're okay with it.

Need help with VLC and using one instance (fedia.io)
 

Running Ubuntu 22.04:

I've tried searching for a solution to this, but there's way too many false positives. I know you can enable/disable using a single instance in two places, but that's not my issue. If I open a video the first time, VLC works fine. If I have both the "only use one instance" off, I can click on other videos and they run too. But if I have any combination of those boxes checked I can only play the first video, and to play a new video I have to manually close the VLC player.

What I want to happen is to have one player spawn, but any new video will run in that player, overriding the existing video. Is that just not possible? I don't want to have to close the window every time I run something new, and I don't want to have to go back and lose a whole bunch of separate VLC instances when I'm done.

Update: I found the solution, and I should have tried it first before posting. Oh well, at least I didn't leave anyone who might find this hanging like a DenverCoder9.

Being Ubuntu, VLC was installed via Snap (I can't recall if I did it or it's default). I suppose I should look into the de-Snap process I've seen mentioned before, as I've also had a few non-crash errors since running Ubuntu where snap was the source.

So the solution was to install the Debian version in terminal, not Snap. It works like I expect and wanted, and I can run video after video and it uses the same window.

How usable is an old lithium battery with less capacity? (fedia.io)
 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
