amazing! thanks for the clarification

that’s correct. part of the reason mac doesn’t have the same gaming community as linux with proton does afaik

apple silicon has specific changes to amd64, and some extra instructions to help with x86 translation afaik (1 of the main things i think is how memory is laid out is different somehow? so every memory access needs extra clock cycles to accomplish in standard arm64)

but in general, rosetta2 is incredible: very little performance loss… i thiiink it’s something like 2-10%, which is made up for by the cheaper cores

from what i understand, graphics is more of a problem… metal just isn’t well supported - i think the standard thing is you have to do direct x <-> dxvk <-> vulkan <-> moltenvk <-> metal, which is a huge overhead and is far from perfect in its translations

Religion is the most destructive force on the planet mostly because the followers are easily fooled.

was the original comment, and then you started complaining about using the word destructive to describe religion in an “unprovoked” way which according to you proved that the original comment was talking about israel

i am merely pointing out that describing religion as destructive is pretty common, and can’t be used as evidence for interpreting the original comment in any particular way

as a gay man, i and plenty of other queers talk about religion as “destructive”. its a common part of the vernacular, and you wouldn’t be quibbling over the language if you saw and understood how destructive religion is to both queer communities and queer lives

i don’t see anyone here cheering

absolutely! it’s the “need” that i have issue with. we need to protect the environment from plastic. they don’t need to reduce their burden by washing a few dishes the next day

if god is real, i truly believe people like this will not “pass” whatever test life is… if you think “god” is rules lawyering you’re a complete idiot… what you’re gonna sovcit an all seeing, all powerful entity? either strictly follow all the rules or make the choices based on the intent of the rule or the origin (ie someone saying people always get sick from eating X so god must not like it is, imo, not valid when we find out about allergies and food poisoning but was probably a good general rule before then!)

need these things to adhere to their religious and cultural prohibitions

i guess orthodox jews didn’t exist until the ~60s if the tools to practice their religion weren’t available before then… i always assumed they were around much longer than that! /s

also, thanks for the explanation!

for the same reason that everyone is entitled to due process even when things are incredibly obvious… it’s important to follow a process, to document formally, etc

that’s absolutely true too! there are multiple parties who share the responsibility… as always, the world is complex and rarely are things black and white

but also, spending energy on prevention (the publicity) and then when the thing doesn’t occur saying “i guess we were wrong” is the wrong take i think

same thing with Y2K and plenty of engineering things: people were saying “it was no big deal! yall were saying planes were going to fall out of the sky! we wasted so much time and money!”… yeah; it was a huge and expensive effort that’s why the bad things didn’t happen

i take hope from the fact that since the war begun people have been saying ukraine has no chance, and yet here we are with ukraine still existing and independent… i guess when you’re defending your home you can pull some pretty impressive manoeuvres out of nowhere that people hadn’t accounted for

and now we collaborate quite nicely! we share fire fighting helicopters and fire fighters often fly over to help each other, since our seasons are offset

hopefully that remains and isn’t just seen as “giving things away” and used as a bargaining chip in a perverse game of number go up

the drawbacks are that they’re made from cotton and plastics, which are all absolutely horrendous for the environment… cotton is among the worst offenders for water use, and polyester etc is bad in clothes let alone chucking an entire wet wipe multiple times per day

it’s absolutely wild that the US still allows this… it’s 1 of the first things my friends all comment on when travelling there (australia)

perhaps to begin with (the distinction is members of or invited by the EBU so broadcast range seems reasonable), but given that australia participates now the criteria seems like it’s changed

why are any countries but greece in the olympics?

because times change and events transform to include more people who enjoy participating

first time you can almost forgive as an accident… second time means it wasn’t an accident and the society is built around that being viable: you never know when it’ll happen again, and that’s not a viable strategy for long-term investment of either capital or influence

BUT… governments and businesses have a short memory and bad risk evaluation where money is concerned

a future queen has far more future influence than a forever princess
