How does that work when nicotine products that are every bit as addictive as tobacco exist, maybe you're just not aware of them? Sitting here with non tobacco snus (Swedish nicotine pouch) under my top lip, something I have been utterly unable to quit. I believe "nicotine free" tobacco would be completely non addictive.

I think you are both talking about slightly different things:

* Herniated disk in the spine * A "hernia": is the abnormal exit of tissue or an organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides.[

Thanks, they seem like more than just random splashes of color.. possibly I'm anthropomorphising but it feels like it was straining to draw something specific like a young child would.

I configured gnome to look like win 95/98, tried to use it for a while but the novelty wore off quite fast. Weirdly the mouse pointer still looks like win95 randomly in certain applications, guess I didn't clean up thoroughly!

No RMS? A shocking omission, I doubt that he would appreciate it any more than Rob Pike however

First time hearing about this, couldn't find any info about who is behind this or if it's a real project with a chance of success. I hope it is, carrying around an incredibly powerful computer in my pocket but not allowed to use it the way I want because google/apple says no sucks, we need this.

It would have been ironic had this https://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/salesguy.html been hosted behind cloudflare.

It's insane to me that big internet uptime monitoring tools like Pingdom and Downdetector both seem to rely on Cloudflare, as both of those are currently unavailable as well.

Because it's not popular, and they are a populist party. I'd wager they will be all for it if they were to achieve power.

I guess that's better than nothing! Still, it wouldn't allow connection to a thunderbolt dock with 2 displays, network and peripherals I guess.

Ideally it would run stock Linux with Android apps via waydroid.. reliance on banking apps makes this fully converged experience using only open source a bit of a pipe dream :(

mrintegrity — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 18:36:23 +0000

My dream is to have a phone like this that supports thunderbolt host mode, runs grapheneos or similar and can drive a couple of displays via usb-c docking station. With the memory and CPU this phone could easily replace my work laptop (vscode and ssh for the most part). Sadly I haven't found any phone that would make this possible (Samsung Dex doesn't count because it's proprietary)

New comment by mrintegrity in "Did California's fast food minimum wage reduce employment?"

mrintegrity — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 05:50:27 +0000

Sweden does not have a minimum wage but does have strong unions which negotiate wages on behalf of workers.

Norway has minimum wage for some sectors (including unskilled labor), these minimums are also due to strong unions and collective agreements which have become law.

Denmark, no minimum wage but strong unions and collective agreements.

Finland has no legal minimum wage but also collective bargaining mandates minimum salaries.

All of these countries have strong social security nets.

mrintegrity — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 00:28:59 +0000

Newly discovered nematode individuals have been reanimated from Siberian permafrost after remaining in cryptobiosis. Preliminary analysis indicates that these nematodes belong to the genera Panagrolaimus and Plectus. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the Panagrolaimus individuals have remained in cryptobiosis since the late Pleistocene (~46,000 years)

New comment by mrintegrity in "Fuck dopamine, we're voluntarily breaking our own brains"

mrintegrity — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 13:30:46 +0000

I wrote a "funny" email to a colleague who asked for a formal request to do a task I asked him for. I took it seriously and wrote extremely formal ("Dearest Steven... " Etc). He laughed and said "did chatgpt write that?".

It made me irrationally angry, no, I spent two minutes of my own brain power to come up with those five sentences. This kind of thing happens constantly now, everyone assumes everyone else uses gpt's for everything and I find it a bit depressing to be honest.
