The original Wired article is a substantially better source than the IBT, which is slop that owns the likes of Newsweek and the Latin Times. On Wikipedia, we avoid citing it wherever possible.

I definitely think Juneteenth fits best as the final application of that proclamation. Although it’s slightly incongruous with July 4th celebrating the Declaration of Independence (rather than the end of the war), I think what distinguishes them is who declared the independence: the oppressed or the oppressor.

Independence Day celebrates the oppressed declaring their freedom and then later fighting to win it. An EP day would celebrate the oppressor declaring the freedom of the oppressed, so it seems less like it’d be celebrating black freedom and more like “wow guys look at what a good thing we did”. I’d imagine the EP falling on January 1st does its viability as a holiday no favors either.

Celebrated as the end of slavery in the US. Obviously excludes the clause of the 13th Amendment that served as a loophole, but emancipation holidays aren’t always so cut-and-dry.

I would say that most vegans, even if they’ve never heard it, at least approximately follow the Vegan Society’s famous definition:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Striking the parts that seem irrelevant to this specific question:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for […] any […] purpose […]

Keep in mind that “animals” in that first part is widely treated as “humans and non-human animals”. So you would have to decide 1) to what extent cruelty was inflicted to create the distro, 2) to what extent people and non-human animals were exploited to create the distro, and 3) if there exist practicable alternatives that meaningfully reduce (1) and (2).

Thanks, OP!

This looks really neat! Are there any updates, given this render was from almost three years ago?

Okay, but she just responds with the misandrist “why are men”, obviously directly accusing him of being sexist on inconclusive circumstantial evidence. That’s going well beyond “suspecting” him of anything.

They tried and failed to be a pedant about “memory” (you can’t tell me everyone didn’t know what the OP meant even if they hadn’t been correct); I don’t see why an attempt at keeping things factual is “really unnecessary”. The meme itself is stupid as hell and has no nuance, but tbh that’s par for the course for tech memes.

Everyone knew what the OP meant by (correctly) saying “memory”, but I don’t see anyone but me criticizing the top comment for that. But to clarify, yes, their actual point about how the memory is used is valid; I pointed out the exceptions on the PS2 as a neat fact, not as a way to nullify their general point.

Hope this helps!

A few points:

• It’s save data, not “save states”. That’s an emulator feature.
• They’re basically correct that you’re only using memory cards for save data because the game itself is on a disc (point of pedantry: it’s a “disc”, not a “disk” unless you were using a HDD like they referred to). I was just pointing out a neat little fact that there were very rare cases when it wasn’t actually just used for save data storage.

They’re correct they aren’t used for the same purpose. IIRC, a PS1 game would’ve been more akin to at most around 2 GiB for the ones that featured four discs.

I don’t know what you’re a beacon of, but it isn’t literacy.

But memory != storage so this meme doesn’t work at all.

This objectively isn’t true. “Memory” isn’t strictly random access memory (RAM) or even volatile memory in general. Secondary storage is nonvolatile memory.

I can’t speak to the PS1, but the PS2 does have some unique exceptions to what you’re saying. (Edit: to clarify, these are rare exceptions; I just thought this was a neat fact.) This doesn’t really matter, though, because your comment is predicated on a misunderstanding of “memory”.

Why are you dismissing this as a possibility?

They’re not. The burden of proof works in a way that the person making a claim (“they’re sexist”) needs to back it up with evidence. They’re not saying he’s definitively not sexist; they’re saying there’s insufficient evidence.

Just bend and glue them to make a toroidal sandwich.

A spherical sandwich would just be a 3-ball of air surrounded by a 2-sphere with the following layers: bread (inner), contents (middle), bread (outer). You could also have a 3-sphere sandwich – homeomorphic to a calzone which has a little 3-ball of bread in its center.

she’d actually do what she intends

She already did what she intended. Donald Trump made it into office in 2016.

I’ll allow this weird leopard ouroboros. She seems to sincerely believe in American isolationism bullshit, so I can buy the logic that she’s feeling pretty betrayed in a way she obviously should’ve expected. The only thing I’d ask in the future in keeping with Rule 3 is to use a source not owned by IBT. It’s just slop. The Associated Press has a pretty good article, for example.

• This is a “leopards ate my face” community, not a “Trump bad” community or even an “American politics” community.
• This doesn’t explain how e.g. Eric Adams got his face eaten. Absent other context, “getting your face eaten” isn’t just “not getting a job in the administration”. Even assuming it is, was Adams even looking for a job, and if so, why am I supposed to know that?
• Even if I’m supposed to be particularly informed, Lemmy is a global social media network, and even then, plenty of American readers probably couldn’t name these people.
