In this nazi analogy it would be less of buying chairs and more the nazis giving away chairs for free that come with blueprints so if the nazis started installing spikes in their chairs people can just build their own from the blueprints, they just choose not to because it’s a lot of work. Which is fine if you don’t want those chairs, but a lot of people are fine with those chairs as long as the nazis don’t start any camps.

My instinct would be yes, and this was the recommendation I found while researching it before implementation. Windows is less likely to screw with another drive than it is the partitions on it’s own drive. That said, it’s a best guess and you never know what Microsoft vibe coders will break next! But I have found it stable.

On dual booting, I’ll say I’ve been running Win11 through several updates with GRUB and Mint installed on a second SSD with no issues for over a year now.

I would assume they have two monitors connected and when the tearing occurs on the problem monitor, their second monitor flickers.

Just skip to the point and make it 1 day

Ah yes, people slow down near cops for the love of the game, not because they’re afraid of a ticket or jail time.

This is going to get so much worse with passkeys becoming more common…

I believe that’s the joke, but I’m glad someone explained this for those that don’t know.

Sadly most of those older YouTube videos have been run through multiple re-compressions and look so much worse than they did at upload. It’s a major bummer.

I have never seen a change.org petition make a… change.

Gotta say I’m surprised to see Spotify adding something people actually want. It must be getting rough for them.

Same table aligned to cents for easier reading.

AI lovers should grieve their lost brain cells.

I have two identical HDDs as a mirror, another one that has no failsafe (but it’s fine, because the data it contains is non-critical)

On separate pools, I hope? My understanding of ZFS is that the loss of any vdev will mean the loss of the pool, so your striped vdev should be in its own pool that you don’t mind losing.

that statement has been used so universally sarcastically that no one believes you’re being serious when you say it now.

The best way to find groups is actually https://lemmyverse.net/communities . All individual servers are missing other communities due to de-feds or lack of federation. While I can’t say numerically how comprehensive Lemmyverse is, it’s a lot better than any instance I’ve tried.

“We’ve spent two years requiring our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms,”

… “and that’s why we’re deleting a bunch of features never to bring them back. Because we’re just so efficient!” Crazy how many companies use this awful excuse.

Also is that a misquote by the author or did they really write “requiring”?

I’m going to disagree on this one, I’ve seem far too many comments, especially from LW users, along the lines of “I can’t be bothered to change websites because I’m already settled in.” Most people are attached to their posts and content and consider moving instance as “losing progress”. And the bigger an instance is the harder it’ll be to leave if they ever pull something seriously “power trippy” that could lock off content to some people, because there will be a large mass of communities and posts on that instance.

It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy instances when Reddit bans porn.

Especially as many Lemmy instances don’t want to host or moderate NSFW content. I don’t blame them, but I’m also doubtful pornlemmy alone could handle the load (pun intended).
