I think it’s pretty common for less reputable storage manufactures to have a drive which reports to be a certain size, but trying to read data back from some sectors doesn’t work. There is this windows tool to check the drive: https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm
All banks I’ve done business supported exporting CSV or OVX files of transactions so you don’t need a third party connection into your bank account, although that is an option. It depends on region, but banks are only required to retain data for certain periods of time, and keeping a history of each transaction can be useful for budgeting or investing.
Regarding Mint, If I’m remembering correctly, it seemed like they were doing a redesign of the site and then decided to shut it down. I’d have to imagine after they got purchased, all the original devs left and maintaining each connection with each bank was a huge hassle. They probably spent so much modernizing the site and still had to maintain connections, that the operational costs outweighed the income from advertising.
If you’re dealing all in cash this makes sense, but for those with multiple bank accounts, keeping track of everything without software is burdensome. I can’t imagine copy/pasting each transaction from my banks website into a spreadsheet. Computers are better at math than humans, they should be doing the calculations, not me.
Thirding Actual, I will admit I was using Mint for way longer than I should have for convenience, and moved to Actual after Mint shut down. If you only have a few accounts, it’s not that terrible to download transactions as QFX files and import them once a month when paying the bills. I haven’t tried SimpleFin or anything automated, but that would get you even closer to the experience of Mint.
I think this is what OPs message is. There’s no silver bullet that solves everything and change will be gradual. Making any incremental improvements to our fuel consumption which has a net positive effect to reduce climate change is a good thing.
Gen IV reactor designs are incapable of going into thermal runaway, but Chernobyl and Fukashima weren’t, which is how they became a cautionary tale and resulted in better designs. It’s like basing your fear of flying on airplane disasters from the 1950’s, and instead driving, which is even more dangerous. Just like unsafe airplanes from long ago, upgrading to safer designs is needed. In order to do so, new reactors need to be built to handle the load, but get blocked because of the fear of another Chernobyl, which just leaves older reactors around that are actually a concern.
Longhorn was Windows Vista. I remember downloading what I thought was Longhorn before Vista’s release but it was just a heavily skinned version of Windows XP.
I’d search your community list for “Fediverse” or “Lemmy” and check the description and subscriber count for what seems like a best fit. For example, I’d assume your questions would be welcome in !Fediverse@piefed.social and get many eyeballs
What about watching a directors cut unknowingly and loving it?
Found someone who downloaded it if you’re itching to watch it before Youtube puts it back up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eE0JKNib88JzpHIduoSeQv6krT5kEIpO/view
Yeah, i just saw that, I watched the whole thing through when it premiered before even posting, and the only thing I assume was some paintings in the background, but they weren’t sexualized. I’m sure it’ll be back soon.
Oh no YouTube took it down

The install process should be deterministic. When you run sudo make install it should do the same thing every time you run it. If this process fails, it’s because of a missing dependency or permission issue or something like that. The failure should never be because of a statistically probability during installation that causes the installer to go off and do something wildly different.
Do ants talk?
People can change
I guess it’s up to the reader to determine if the linked article from a few days ago of Hank reflecting bullish attitude should be judged separately from the articles and videos months ago about his behavior he has since identified as problematic. Maybe he used to be a piece of shit, not anymore? People can change.
His quote from the article:
“[…] I need to come to terms with the fact that the level of dopamine I’ve been getting from interacting with LLMs…with doing more and more and more and more…is not healthy for me or good for the world. It is careless, and has disconnected me from where people are on this.
I was talking about this with [my wife] Katherine last night and she did not pull any punches. Frankly, neither did [my brother] John. Neither of them think I’ve been being healthy. I need to readjust.”
Not really knowing the drama before today, it seems like he is being very rational and speaking honestly about the effects LLMs are having on his behavior and that he identified he needs to change, which is what the whole article is about.
Not sure about the issue in Thunder, but loading slrpnk.net in my browser is extremely slow on establishing TLS connections even before the anubis check comes up. If I had to guess, Thunder is either timing out connecting, or however anubis is configured on this instance, it’s blocking access from Thunder.
