Hoping it was just a marketing dude talking shit and not actually knowing what the research teams are doing. There ought to be a full investigation of their operations now, tho. Good time to not own Pfizer stock I guess.
@profoundlynerdy@Moon I don't believe a "weaponized strain" would have been any different. If the research was to see how dangerous a coronavirus could be so we are prepared to defend against it, that's the same goal as weaponizing it.We're already beating the American 1918 pandemic top score (675k) handily and they didn't even have vaccines to slow it down!
@lain The canonical Slashdot iPod review is basically the same mindset people have towards crypto because they're too stubborn to see why people want it:“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”
@flav@luke if you don't believe Trump is a white supremacist you're being willfully ignorantit's still your right to follow and support him, but don't be stupid about it. you might as well embrace it since you've gone this far.
@flav I don't think you understand how freedom of speech works in practice. let me give you a refresher:- you can say whatever you want- i don't have to listen to it- if i own a platform you're trying to use to spread your speech, i can censor or suppress it as this is a protected right of mine in the 1A toothat's it. that's the whole thing. it's very extremist.
@lain@Moon I think they're just referring to the biggest jump in death rates since we found something that works on a lot of infections that used to just kill everyone
@shmibs@lain@pony I'm talking about MacOS right nowI wouldn't remove swap on Linux or BSD. Using swap is not a bad thing, it's a very very good thing. It's only bad if you're paging in and out for an active application which should never happen unless your entire system is low on memory.
@shmibs@pony@lain 4 different browsers, IDEs, building by code, running database, multimedia stuff, 10 slacks, etcIt all adds up quickly

Really Whipping The Llama's Ass> So Apple's focus on keeping memory consumption under control, which includes but is not limited to going all-in on reference counting where pretty much the rest of the industry has adopted tracing garbage collection, is now paying off in a majory way ("bigly"? Too soon?). They can get away with putting less memory in the system, which makes it possible to make that memory really fast. And that locks in an advantage that'll be hard to duplicate.> It also means that native development will have a bigger advantage compared to web technologies, because native apps benefit from the speed and don't have a problem with the memory limitations, whereas web-/electron apps will fill up that memory much more quickly.So I guess as long as I can find a way to avoid electron I really shouldn't need more than 16GB right now :thinkface:
