As somebody from a poor EU country with good weather - Portugal - if Albania is anything like here, it’s a great place to live as long as your income is at the level of somewhere else.

The problem is to live in such a place with the level of salary of such a place.

A lot more humane, though, as the flies get upright much more easilly than the cows.

Gruesomely mass murdering civilians using bombs to get the rest to comply with your will is only “Terrorism” if the bombs were placed on the ground and then exploded, not when they were dropped from the air.

Hence the smaller per-capita representation of white people in the count of terrorists.

Sorry mate but only a Racist is pro (or against) an ethnicity, any ethnicity.

Further, if people being against “those who would harms others” is not enough and one wants that they’re specifically pro the ethnicity one belongs to, then that person is a Racist since they’re explicitly demanding differentiated treatment based solely on their race.

Humanist is being for good people and against bad people. The specific race of the aggressors is irrelevant as is the specitic race of the victims.

It’s pretty incredibly to, in the face of people actually turning against the baddies, watch some people who themselves are not in any way form or shape victims of these baddies, whine about how there’s no different and superior treatment for people of their ethnicity compared to people from other ethnicities.

Category 5 is even easier to make than 5E.

They’re about as well prepared to deal with computers as people who had a teddy bear when they were children are prepared to be a veterinary.

These “” seem to have fallen from around the word convenience, so I picked them up for you.

Nah, that stuff is the Dictatorship Of The Proletariat, which is a supposed way to Communism, rather than Communism itself, and as the “dictatorship” in the name indicates, it’s an authoritarian regime.

The valid criticism of Communism is not that it’s authoritarian is that in over a century all countries who tried to get there took the authoritarian path and not a single one ever left that stage and reached Communism - in other words, Communism seems to be a unachieveable ideal.

There are people whose entire modus operandi is to not give a shit about others in their choices and actions, apologize when challenged about it and carry on doing the same.

Their “apologizing” is just a confrontation-avoidance technique, not a genuine expression of regret.

The twist is that it’s a German Humoristic tale.

Yeah, but the coke isn’t car friendly, probably because you end up with white powder everywhere.

Sorta, since those from the other side don’t really know if that person is a non-expert or a domain expert from just a post, which is even more so here in Lemmy when it comes to Technical subjects because there is a much higher proportion of Techies around than most other Social Media.

Also, for a domain expert used to using the term “algorithm” for far longer than the common population has even heard it and started using it, it just feels wrong when people misuse it, so it’s pretty natural to want to correct the way others use it.

Also it makes sense for the domain experts who have been using that word from well before it was coopted by the Media, to be the ones with the strictly correct definition of the word.,

Personally and from personal experience I think it’s a thankless fight one is bound to lose - spoken languages are what the masses make it be, not what a few individuals are used to - but that doesn’t make people trying to correct the use of the word wrong.

Only a dehydrogen monoxide addict will say shit like that!

It’s a “domain expert who interprets ‘algorithm’ as a technical term from their domain of expertise” vs “non-expert who interprets ‘algorithm’ with the meaning popularised by the Media in the last couple of years”.

Both are right.

It’s really down to fitting the machine to one’s Requirements, present and forecasted ones.

So my home server is just a N100 Mini PC because it’s just a TV Media Box on my living room that doubles as home NAS and Torrent server with a dedicated VPN connection, for which an N100 with not especially large or fast memory and a decent-sized SSD, is more than powerful enough since the CPU heavy stuff - video decoding - is done in dedicated silicon inside the N100 so doesn’t really run on the CPU cores, whilst the other functionality is mainly bottlenecked by network speeds and my network is just Gigabit Ethernet.

If I expected heavier CPU loads I would have gone with a different CPU (plus associated elements such as motherboard and memory) whilst if I wanted to run the heavier AI stuff (such as image generation) it would’ve been a Desktop PC with a dedicated Graphics Card with lots of video memory.

As it is, my games PC doubles as Image generation machine and also works fine if I want play with VMs or Databases since that’s running Linux and is a lot more powerful in almost every way (curiously, not disk speed since it’s a bit old with upgraded parts, so it’s still using SATA and does not support M.2 disks on PCIe) than that Mini PC.

A machine on my living room is supposed to be quiet (so, no loud fans, hence low power consumption), so I was hardly going to over-dimension that living room TV Box / Server just to once in a while I could play with heavy stuff in it, given that I already have a different and much more powerful Linux machine at home that I can use for that, hence why I partitioned my needs this way and can have an always ON server that just tops at 20W (though generally it uses less than half that power).

PS: Also keep in mind that merely running a database isn’t by itself any kind of heavy load (even for heavy stuff like Oracle, much less mySQL or PostgresSQL), it’s what uses it that dictates the load, so even running a DB there is not an issue unless I’m doing tons of massive non-indexed queries against it (or huge dataset indexed ones, since non-indexed ones on huge datasets end up disk bound unless you have insane amounts of memory) or a similar pattern of usage.

Sadly, for a few years now I’ve had TDP as one of the main criteria when buying parts for my machines, so there really isn’t enough waste heat from my machines to even just keep a room warm in Winter by playing heavy 3D games (the worst machine tops at around 180W with 3D and CPU heavy games - so basically the same heating as a really bright incandescent light bulb - whilst my home server uses about 20W at 100%)

On the other hand what I save in power consumption on my machines can be used on a dedicated heating solution that’s ON only when I need it rather than the whole year.

Bread is like the shady dealer standing just inside a dark alley who, when somebody passes by on the street, goes:

“Hey you!”

“Yes, you.”

“Would you like a little something to make you feel good?”

* Opens long coat, showing a collection of cheeses, butter, peanut butter, jams, ham and other cold meats, and other delicious things that aren’t all that healthy *

I come from a country with quite the tradition for good bread (Portugal), so I actually miss it (the good kind of bread, with some butter or cheese), but nowadays it’s just a once in a blue moon treat.

However I do feel the same as you describe for other things: so much of the almost pure carbohydrate foodstuff is just cheap filler and once you wean yourself off of it, eventually you get to a point were it’s really just bland and boring. Similarly, nowadays the heavy sugary stuff is just too much in terms of taste and actually unappealing.

The most shocking thing for me is how little I now eat of carbohydrates whilst feeling just fine, which to me shows just how excessive the amounts I was eating before - from bread twice a day to some kind of carbohydrate filler with every main meal, all quite similar to most people around here - were.

For health reasons, a year or two ago I had to cut hard on carbohydrates and so, amongst other things, started eating a lot more salad so I invested a lot of time and effort (and experimentation) into figuring out nice ways of doing salad.

Let’s just say that it’s perfectly possible to do very tasty salads, even without using sauces (which is seldom a healthy way of doing it) and, further, you can make quite a number of different varieties of tasty salads if you’re willing to go a bit further out in your choice of ingredients than lettuce and tomato.

Good thing, too, because otherwise my diet nowadays would’ve been horribly bland.
