“Survivor bias” also applies here.

Those are not remotely analogous situations. What is the risk to you from voting for Biden? What does it cost you? How does it endanger you?

Voting is free. But you would rather further endanger vulnerable people than do something that makes you personally feel icky.

Because that’s what this comes down to. Given all the choices available in this situation, there is literally no downside to voting for Biden. All it truly costs is swallowing your pride.

But you can’t even do that.

It is a simple, statistical fact that votes for Biden reduce Trump’s chances of winning. So you can either choose to impede Trump’s chances of winning, or choose not to.

Explain to me, if you can, how refusing to take an action that reduces a fascist’s chance of assuming power is, functionally, any different from assisting them.

And do you understand that under the current American electoral system, any action other than voting for Biden will directly assist Trump in getting into power?

They just told you. You have two realistic options (sorry, third parties are a fantasy under the current American electoral system). One of those options will permit and even tepidly support genocide in Palestine, the other will actively and eagerly encourage it. You pick the lesser of those two evils, and then you fight like hell against them until you get the results you’re actually looking for.

One of the smartest things I’ve ever heard about Western liberal democracy is this; “Voting is when you get to choose your opponent.” You’re not endorsing a platform, you’re arranging the battlefield.

At the end of the day, Trump will be somewhat worse for the people of Palestine than Biden will, and much, much worse for everyone in America. It might feel icky voting for Biden, but if you truly care about the lives of the people in Gaza, it is the best choice you can make under the options available to you.

Will Trump getting into power make things better for people in Palestine?

Me, ignoring my problems

They’re presumably going to be doing this live. If someone manages to hack into the component that feeds text in…

Ironically, my favorite story from that collection is a hundred word horror story about Santa.

Huh… Maybe OP is just really offended on St Nick’s behalf?

Also I don’t think a teenager being comfortable with a GUI, but not with a command line is a particularly big stretch. Kind of seems like the opposite would be more ridiculous.

Quantity of recalls combined with the quantity of quality control issues, combined with the price-tag.

For that kind of money, you generally expect something that went through some road testing. And it’s not like these are issues that took years to develop. Stuff like the problems with the foot pedals should have come up during their testing… Assuming they did any.

Calling this a startup is being excessively generous. Startups are meant to eventually be viable.

This is a scam. The product just feeds your queries into ChatGPT and spits out the response. The backend tech they’ve described flat out does not exist. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Coffeezilla did a really good video about it

More importantly, why is the gay room so small? You can barely get any gay in there.

Absolutely. A lot of the time the biggest difficulty with researching something is not even knowing the right terms to search for. Asking a few questions can give you a starting point to know where and how to look.

And the thing is, I personally hate asking questions on forums and the like. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve done it. I’m very good at digging up answers by myself, and I generally do work better with essays than I do with conversations. But my experience should not be seen as the default, and people shouldn’t be shit on for trying to learn through community rather than through textbooks.

So, when you create a virtual machine in KVM, you have the ability to attach a Spice or VNC display to the VM.

Unlike running VNC inside the virtual machine, what this does it is runs VNC on the host, at a port that you designate (or a randomly assigned port if you don’t designate) and then you can view that by connecting to the host through VNC. For Spice its exactly the same, except you use something like the Remote Viewer application to connect to it.

As others have mentioned, the easiest way of handling all of this is with Virtual Machine Manager, which integrates its own Spice console and makes everything happen automagically. You can also install Cockpit with the Cockpit-Machines plugin on the host, which gives you a web interface for controlling virtual machines, just like vmware esxi. The display manager on cockpit is pretty rough at the moment though.

KVM is a very “build it yourself” virtualization solution. I use it extensively, and I love it, but you’ll need to be prepared for a lot of “Oh, KVM doesn’t do that, that’s handled by this program/library/whatever”. It’s definitely not a user friendly toolkit. If you’re looking for a Workstation Player alternative, you may be better off with something like Virtbox (although do try out Virtual Machine Manager first, it’s really slick and for your use case probably solves all the problems I’ve mentioned). If you’re looking for an esxi alternative, maybe look into Proxmox.

I’ve been looking for documentation on this but Google search is now so bad that technical documents are completely hidden behind marketing blurbs or LLM generated rubbish.

Its honestly tragic that people feel the need to put these disclaimers. “Just google it” was always a shitty response to people asking legitimate questions (some people learn better from conversational interaction rather than just reading an essay), but with the slow death of search engines we’re now experiencing, at this point anyone who yells “Just google it” needs to be ejected into the fucking sun.

Is this a question?

For the people who don’t know the answer? Yes.

Not everything you see is intended for your consumption. Let people enjoy learning things.

Fair enough. Well, you definitely should be moving those over to Docker then, it’ll be much better for efficient use of resources.

Shattered Horizon. It was awesome.
