Technology@lemmy.world•Google requests permission to release 32m mosquitoes in California and FloridaEnglish
4·2 days agoThere is literally no option to endanger mosquito species which act as vectors for human disease while people, agriculture, and wild mammal populations exist. This is local suppression in municipal areas.
32 million would be like fighting a wildfire with a spraybottle if your goal was eradication.
Eradicating disease is an option though as we CAN control transmission.

10·2 days agoI heard this legend from the sages, are you dill on the run or did they fennely catch you?
Fuck you i don’t do what you tell me!
Oh… Oh that’s nice…
Well when it comes to sexual intercourse we say Jeez instead.

Animemes@ani.social•Look back at old photos to see how full of life and hope you once wereEnglish
0·6 days agoI had a job that had few benefits but the work was interesting and i had full control over it. Now my job has good benefits but the work is repetitive and circular and mostly diplomacy between coworkers. Both are shit. If capitalism has made anything clear its that we are producing in excess of any possible demand to deny people the use of their bodies. Anyways, the work week should be like 6 hours, maybe 8 with two breaks and an hour lunch.

memes@lemmy.world•Today’s kids don’t have to worry about turning off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboardEnglish
0·6 days agoAll mine are either labelled such that they are differentiated clearly from other on-device ports, identical to all others, or they are the only port on the device. While i could complain about the specific symbols and lack of standardization there, I have one singular device i care about fast charging with. So it’s rather moot once i identify the high power port.
More USBC plz. Looking forward to the 230V standard.
The second hard drive can be linux native file format and you can run an individual(duplicate) install of each there. SATA/SSD will be plenty fast for these games.
It’s a temporary solution until she’s comfortable enough with linux to ditch the windows install. So the wasted space(Windows install/drive) can be reclaimed and reformatted later on.
Assuming your wife is new to Linux: Get secondary hard drive and boot Linux off that, set Linux to first entry in grub. If your wife ends up frustrated with Linux then she can just boot back into windows instead of dealing with undue frustration and possible resentment.
Windows 10 still works fine and will continue to for a long time (you’re literally running a win7 VM). If you’re worried about security or whatever just don’t use it for sensitive stuff. For gaming? Security updates don’t matter.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•'Incredible' milestone reached as Sweden becomes a smoke-free countryEnglish
8·9 days agoIt’s the whole coronary system not just the heart. It also comes with the same swath of possible symptoms as most stimulants including high blood pressure, stress/anxiety, etc.
That said, IMO the biggest issue is the litter. Used pouches should go into the trash can and away from animals.
I have a slot just before lunch for fucking around but we’ll have to push finding out to next week.
Omg just take the vaccine.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When someone replies "that's not dull" to a post in Dullsters/Dull Men's Club, are they complimenting you or gatekeeping?English
1·12 days agoThere is the other option, that the post was so underwhelming as to have lost any meaningful attribute allowing categorization as something that could be described as dull.
Which again could be utter insult or the highest of praise. 🤷
I always cone back to 304. It never loses its shine.

Dad Jokes@lemmy.world•When you make an irish stew, you must only use 239 beans or fewerEnglish
7·12 days agoI’ve heard this joke a thousand times growing up and “Irish” was never used. I think it’s even better when you don’t try to explain the forced pronunciation. More groan inducing as a terrible dad joke and no weird stereotyping.

This seems so obvious the biggest shock is that someone thought it to be newsworthy.
