On our end (Aus), I'd argue that we were "successful". Outside of a few desperately keeping their culture alive, much of it is dead and gone.

The really shameful part is that we didn't do it 2 centuries ago, it was 1960's. And given we keep destroying their historical sites to make way for mines, it arguable hasnt entirely stopped.

It didn't murder you, but do you keep much of your original culture?

The whole point of the stolen generation policies were to destroy the aboriginals culture. Its not a genocide in the murder sense, but the end result is the same, the group will no longer functionally exist.

Edit: to those downvoting DeathByBigSad, please reconsider, they are asking a valid question.

There is more than one way to genocide. Contact likely ends in assimilation, which is functionally a genocide.

For a historical example of this, see the "Stolen Generation" in Australia.

Not to mention spinning up an instance with thousands of accounts to downvote brigade.

Its definitely not a black and white problem.

3-ball-Dave, can you come here for a minute, we need a scale for this fish brain

It was a generic action film, not bad, but not top 100 IMO.

I happy to believe that its probably trending down, overall PC shipments have been trending down for a while, but 400m drop over 3 years is a huge amount that just doesnt smell right.

A lab computer is used by up to N students typically, so by removing it, there is potentially N more devices being purchased by the N students. So that could mean more iPads or Chromebooks, or even more PCs overall.

And converting a university device to a byod device doesn't necessarily remove a PC either, given the user may purchase a new device for work.

With any statistics to back it up (which none of us have, especially not the original article) all we have is speculation.

Also quite disappointing that no one is questioning, "where did they go". If Chromebooks or Apple picked up a fraction of the "lost" users, they'd be shouting from the rooftops. And a fraction of those users would crush most Linux distros infrastructure, so we'd have heard something.

Yeah, this is just terrible journalism.

100% agree, this is probably a soft launch so they can go hard later.

Super scummy.

Smoking is also quite common, it still harmful.

Seems like its been pinned there somehow, despite being 2 days old. Happens when logged out as well.

 

Hi All. This might not be for everyone, and is very rough around the edges, but I have written a tool to more easily test how custom addressable RGB effects work.

Simply copy the code portion of the lamba into a text file, and then build and run, and it will output on your terminal how the effect will look.

It is very rough, you need a C compiler, and a RGB/TrueColor capable terminal.

If it works for you, let me know, if it doesn't, also let me know.

I dunno if this is appropriate for this community, so mods, please delete if not.

I have been writing a screen clone in rust.

https://github.com/cameroncros/PoorMansScreen/tree/better_screen (The main branch is how I currently use it, not at all screen-like, the better_screen branch is much closer to a screen replacement.)

It all currently works fine, albeit quite simple, and I suspect not following best practices. Please talk shit about my code so I can fix that :D

For my next stage of development, I would like to use some combo of vt100 and ratatui to wrap the shell in a border, or add a menu bar at the top or bottom to make it clear when the user is inside a "screen". Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about doing that? I am very unskilled at ratatui.

 

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

Cutting Garolite (G10) (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by CameronDev@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.ml
 

I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size.

...

Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth.

For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better.

So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.

 

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
