Have you tried increasing the size of your swap memory in windows? Otherwise known as "virtual memory". Depending on the speed of your drive and available space, you might be able to increase the vertual memory size to get more performance.

But what about using a page archiving service, even a self-hosted one, like Shiori. Shiori has an extension that can allow for single click page archiving right from the browser. The pages are saved as html files or txt files and it will create a readability version of the file which is just the text and images. You could then search the files and their contents using something like VS Code to search the whole directory where the files are stored. There are plenty of other ways to do that search once you have those archives, though. I think even Windows File Search will search the contents of a txt or html file stored on the device.

Shiori also has its own search, which is pretty fast, and searches the contents of the archives as well.

Listen, if you set the bar that high you'd have to discipline the whole force.

Just yesterday I had someone tell me "They're throwing away their future for nothing". Let's hope the preasure leads to more results.

Libs identify fundamental features of Capitalism, but can't except them as fundamental features, and thus create new isms that somehow they believe can be dealt with in isolation. Just doing the math out loud. I had someone mention "corporatism" in conversation recently, and it frankly flew right by me.

Please continue to deny reality. Tesla sucks, that's why its stock is going down.

We also have to get away from the Panopticon we've created out of schools. I speak from experience here as a person who manages and implements these systems: You can not walk a hall without being recorded, you can't send an email without it potentially being flagged and sent to administration, you can't browse a website without it being logged and eventually used against you.

Schools have become little state surveillance conditioning centers.

Linked to this is the total lack of critical thought when introducing technology into a students academic life. Computer labs are things of the past. More and more districts are implementing 1:1 programs, which do help with equity but create new problems. Very often there is no guidance on when it's appropriate to use technology as part of the curriculum, and at worst an outright mandate that technology is used at all times to justify the cost.

I've been witness to dozens of cases of kids who are rabidly attached to their devices in an unhealthy way. Often its a symptom of an underlying neurodivergence.

No critical thought or material understating of the implications of requiring device use for K-12 students. No thoughts on if this establishes a bad pattern of device dependency. No critical thoughts on Google or Apple and or the ethics of shuffling students down a pipeline that makes it harder for them to use alternatives, incubating future consumers. No consideration of alternatives, mostly do to lack of manpower required to implement them. Not a single shop equivalent education path that teaches you how computers work, how you might service them, and so on.

I think about this story often:

https://opensource.com/education/14/9/open-source-benefits?ool

https://opensource.com/education/16/1/getting-started-in-it-through-a-student-run-help-desk

I wonder what kind of impact it had on even the tech neutral students. What kind of opinions or skills did these students pick up from being participants? What kind of culture did the kids have as a result of getting their needs met by other students? The benefits for the students involved in the helpdesk are obvious, what about the subtle benefits?

Laws like COPPA do more harm then good frankly. Once administration understands the filtering system required to comply with COPPA can also pull logs at any time, its instantly weaponized against students. Often what is filtered comes down to not just the letter of the law but also the individual biases of the staff managing the tech or the administration.

I can't imagine what its like from the perspective of the average student and how it shapes their worldview.

Looks up for me, not sure about others.

You replied to me literally stating that my opinions were flawed from the get go based on very big assumptions.

Typical Redditor behavior, you don't even stop to look at who you are speaking with, you just assume every comment below yours is somehow the same person, and not possibly someone else who also thinks you're a total chud.

On what basis do you make such a claime?

This is rational from China's perspective. Divesting in the American technology pipeline not only weakens Americans grip on the global economy but also positions China as the leader in global technology.

Also, we have more evidence of US putting back doors into technology then we do China. If you're living in the imperial core, it's far more likely that the US is monitoring your activities then China is.

These chuds look like cartoon Nazis from some hana-barera cartoon from the 70s. Like some kind of Scooby Do shit.

Send an anonymous note about his rampant sinophobia to the administration. Probably wouldn't fly in the uni near me because we have a high population of Chinese students. Not sure what the demographic is in your area, though.

 

I'm not a language learner. It wasnt a requirement when I was a kid and in highschool I never had an interest. However, having just learned about it, and learned of its etheos and properties, I think it could be fun to learn. Helps that my partner is also interested.

Also, a stateless international language seems like a good fit as an international movement. A movement that is striving for international solidarity and a world without borders.

At a minimum, learning it would make Hitler spin in his grave:

As long as the Jew has not become the master of the other peoples, he must speak their languages whether he likes it or not., but as soon as they become his slaves, they would all have to learn a universal language (Esperanto, for instance!), so that by this additional means the Jews could more easily dominate them!

Barbie: who saw it? (lemmygrad.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Today was the first day that both our kids are in day-care all day. Effectively the end of our parental leave. Me and my SO decided to treat ourselves to a movie and saw Barbie. We figured if the conservative sphere was getting pissy about it, it must be good.

Anyone else see it?

I wasn't expecting much. I have to say, I don't think I could have ever expected this movie to be what it was. It's campy, funny, colorful, and steps on your throat with it's message and hardly let's it off. I say that as positivity as someone can.

It's amusing to me that some people think the movie is anti-man. It did make me feel mournful for my daughters inevitable loss of innocence. A corporate, big budget toy advertisement of all things. I think that's the most surprising part. In some ways Barbie is the most unlikely and perfect vehicle for what the movie has to say.

I don't know. It's conflicting because, at the end of the day it's a huge corporate puff peace, but also... What else could deliver it's message to so many people?

 

I gotta know. It just looks so forced. In the most recent video I saw homie was "buying his first computer" and he was a "compsci professor" in cuba but never owned a computer/laptop.
