And I would say that Waimaea is like, maybe not as scary as Nazaré, just because it is more slabbed up and a more reliable right. Like, I coudn’t say that when Waimaea is firing its not pure chaos because cmon. 50+ft waves. But like, the way the break is and how it forms, its why people can still paddle into that wave an not have to get towed in.

And structurally its the same concept. Waimaea canyon is right behind the break and its a deeeeeep canyon. Just that we get bigger direct sets with a lot more ocean behind them than Portugal.

So when you go to the Eddy, which is the big wave tournament that runs on North shore if the waves are 40ft plus, like, once a wave starts getting above a certain size it starts changing behavior in weird ways. Like I can remember during the last Eddy when the waves were 50ft plus, they would get like, little cracks or rivers forming on their face as they continued to gain size but were also falling apart as they did so. It was truly bizarre and surreal and even more surreal to watch surfers ride the face of something the size of an apartment building.

I’ve heard they get bigger in Portugal, but I’m pretty sure it’s close to the natural limit of how big a non tsunami wave can be. And tsunami waves are very different than sea waves in their structure. Still, it’s one of the only times you can get close to wave like the one in the sim.

Yeah but the damage happened in real time. There would need to be standing to sue for the damages cause and accumulated since.

Anecdotal but it’s a real story about getting doge’d. I was working on some climate research as part of a climate smart commodities grant (search that program for details), a big one which took years to gain the trust of hundreds of indigenous farmers and non profits to participate in. We were already struggling with USDA bullshit and red tape trying to get payments to farmers who had already spent money and been approved for certain payments, before doge came along.

And because of doge, the entire 50mil program got cut. Maybe not hundreds but dozens of farmers and non profits went out of business because they chose to trust the federal government to be reliable on their word. Not to mention an almost 40 person research team, practically a whole department.

and the trust that took years to build to get these historically disenfranchised groups to the table, to get them to trust the process and work with the government… that’s NEVER coming back.

I’ll pay you to create content, like its always been. I’m not gonna pay a third party to put up barriers. If you don’t want an idea or information to be shared freely, keep it to yourself.

I used to renew and binge for a single show.

Now I’ve got effectively 0 services. I’m subscribed to like 8 patreons. But I’m just straight downloading what I feel like. I dgaf.

Lenovo and Dell laptops are the best for Linux for some time already. Thinkpads get the spotlight but the Latitudes are no hassle too.

A costco HP I grabbed in a pinch has been rocking linux without any issues from day one.

I’ll go back to physically mailing letters.

Yeah with firefox its not necessarily how many tabs, but what those tabs are doing.

Yeah its basically all firefox.

Just fire fox and open office at the moment… Just a few tabs…

I mean I’m on ubuntu with my current machine, not running anything particularly demanding and using 37 gb of ram.

Just saying, ymmv.

Seems like they are sacrificing revenue to guarantee they’ll be able to execute in the delivery. It’s not the highest bar, but it is a bar.

128 for a server seems crazy unless its like, an actual server. I’m homelabbing an old laptop with 32gb and thats overkill. And my NAS has 8gb I think?

I mean. I agree. I can’t imagine a modern system with less than 16gb and a competent system for any thing beyond a basic user needs 32, at a minimum. I’m on 128.

Release controller -> people buy controller = news

R = Release P = people B = buy C = controller N = news

[Release controller] -> [people buy controller] = [news]

[RC] -> [PBC] = N

[RC]/C -> [PBC]/C = N/C

R -> PB = N/C

[R -> PB] - N/C = 0

OR

[Release -> People Buy] - News/ Controller = 0

I mean it’s basically Lemmy with a different wrapper.
