Now I’m definitely on your side by temperament but my understanding is that they do this to try and build social bonding. (They don’t have the capacity or inclination to bond by infodumping about their special interest(s))

Just imagine, being stuck in small talk for as many as 5 minutes!

Be careful, criticism is only allowed against Bad Countries, or else the Downvotes of Freedom will come for you

Fair enough, I capitulated and I use spotify for podcasts now

Have you used Firefox recently? There are a few chrome only sites but I’ve been daily driving it for a few months and it’s mostly upside

I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/

I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.

If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?

I suspect it would be at the bottom right blue cluster with the legumes

ELI5: a database is the “memory” of a program.

Every piece of data that any software uses almost certainly comes from and goes to multiple databases.

Once the data is stored, you can execute “queries” to have powerful access to update many records at a time, read particular records based on their relationship to other records, and so much more.

Your bank balances, your purchase history, your emails, every part of your digital life is almost certainly spread across a constellation of databases.

Bonus Fediverse content:

Lemmy itself uses the Postgres database extensively. Posts, users, comments, votes and more are all individually stored in the database.

Mastodon also uses Postgres. If a post goes up on Lemmy, and a Mastodon server is federated with it, the Lemmy server will send out a HTTP request to the Mastodon server containing the contents of the post. The Mastodon server will use this information to write its own record of the post in its own database.

Regarding your question about VMs: You can run a database inside a VM, or give the VM access to an outside database via queries, or both! You might run SQLlite (a small and excellent embedded database) on the VM to track its local state, while also running queries against a large postgres database to synchronize with other services in the cluster.

Sorry for the Walmart link but I have been very happy with this product

I have only had it for a couple months though.

Takes two aaa’s, if you make them rechargeable it can be zero waste

Your trackpad + driver would have to have Linux gesture support, not all do

“useful and convenient”…

How about deadly, destructive, and isolating?

Or we could just ignore the corrupt alliance of industry colluding to eliminate other transportation options and wax poetic about the Free Market and Rugged Individualism, right?

Fuck cars and fuck Uber but this sounds like a reaction to Lyft being integrated in the (excellent) Transit app

I think blocked by you and deleted from their home instance

I think they are “deleted user” and “blocked user”, respectively

It’s pretty standard to send keypresses to the backend before the user hits submit (otherwise search boxes couldn’t do auto completion for example)

You could maybe write an extension that tries to detect the difference between this and a ‘full submit’ (and block those network requests) but I bet it would be very unreliable

I don’t know for sure but I know their moderation is dogshit. I think they don’t want to face down the deluge of Nazis like we have had to here, they’d rather be a clique-y cool kids clubhouse of Twitter brainrot

And the “shoulders” are speaker drivers?

Perhaps you have never been oppressed by professing Christians before?
