Yes because again it’s the mismatched ram sizes and the different clock speeds. IMHO the clock speed issue is way more likely to throw things off than the different stick sizes, although neither are ideal.

“Personware” sounds like Elon’s brain implant plan

Don’t buy any of those toilet tank tablets. They often will corrode and wear down the tank valve over time, and your toilet will start to run on its own (or could even break).

White vinegar is good on any wood or porous surface because it’s small enough to get inside and kill the biological things (black mold, etc) while bleach just tends to just clean the surface and evaporate quickly.

The thunk and all the silverware and glasses rattling lol

Probably important to also include that personal property is not private property. Private property would be means of production such as farms or factories - they are owned by the workers collectively. You still can have a house, a bed, a refrigerator, a TV, etc.

These days, with “big data” analysis being possible on such a large scale, it’s possible to gauge the position of the general population, or of subgroup of such with ease. This makes it easy to divide and conquer, to manufacture consent, for whatever those who have access to said analysis desire.

I always tell people, it’s not about your data, it’s about our data.

That first guy went 3 days and then posted a follow-up looking for constipation relief.

Seems that opened the floodgates. 😏

And, if you’ve reached Gopher Ted, you might respond with “Go for Gopher Ted”

Roger, Roger! What’s our vector, Victor?

Tower to radio clearance, over!

That’s Clarance Over!

What? Huh? Who?!?

Doesn’t moving to out of the spam folder tell it?

Or, to put it in a simple one-liner: Instances are servers.

However you would set up any other server, you set up a Lemmy instance. There is no central datacenter as there would be with a corporate-owned site like Reddit.

Think of it like a bunch of little messages board sites and they automatically import posts from other message board sites - because that’s exactly what it is.

While that’s a bit different to navigate than what we are used to, an instance (aka a server) going down or becoming hostile and being defederated only removes that one server from the network.

It’s similar to how IRC networks function; except with those, the server owners decide what servers they link up with. With Lemmy (and other ActivityPub based services), the users decide (by subscribing). Instance admins can block (“defederate”) other instances though.

The amount of people I see on Lemmy saying “Ugh Google is so bad with all their Chrome shenanigans! I install Brave on my own and all my family’s computers!” is honestly heartbreaking 🤦‍♂️

If no one on that instance subscribed to a community, doesn’t it not show up in your all feed? Maybe just no one on that instance subscribes to any explodingheads communities.

Elon Musk wanted to drive Twitter into the dirt once he was forced to buy it. Criticism, jet tracking, rejection of fascist-adjacent opinions that are “logical” but only if you’re a heartless engineering robot.

His hubris forced him into buying it, but once he had to, he might as well destroy it. How else do you think he got the Saudis in on it for another billion?

I laughed about this theory at first, just memeing it like “ha could you even imagine?” But every single day it seems more and more like he does the worst thing possible to “monetize” and then gripes about it like the only reason his brilliance isn’t working is because big mean liberal woke mind virus society is trying to do cancel culture because they’re just jealous he’s rich.

Correct, when directly replacing estimated time instead of distance, no stops is customary.

I have no idea how many stops you need or how long they’ll be. That’s on you.

How is passing new laws going to magically detect and erase all the PSX, SNES, MAME, etc ROMs that I play offline from my computer?

By making laws that say it is ok to arrest/jail/fine you for having them. What we need are laws that say “this activity is ok, because these products are no longer worth anything to companies”

Plus, emulation itself is not and cannot be illegal, barring a complete redesign of intellectual property law from its very foundation. Games themselves, BIOSes and encryption keys are protected, but an emulator is, in rough terms, “something that achieves the same result through different means”, and if that could be made illegal, then someone could patent the hammer and you’d have to pay a fine for nailing two things together with a rock.

Ancient Luddite politicians will say it’s ridiculous to compare software to hammers, then they will call the internet a series of tubes, throw snow on the US House floor, and pay the Pentagon $40k for a hammer.

This isn’t usually true, as a power-outage could trap a vehicle inside without a manual release. This is usually a little rope hanging from the connecting latch on the motor chain or screw-traveler.

If there wasn’t a spring to help lift the door open then the manual release would at best do very little to help you open the door, or at worst send it crashing down uncontrollably if you released it while the door was open.

Trust me, it’s got a spring.

The most poignant thing I ever read from a 4chan greentext:

“Ironic shitposting is still shitposting”

Do with that nugget of information what you will.

Trying to keep them matched up isn’t always the best idea.

Your inputs are processed more often if you let the framerate go uncapped.
