Exactly. We like sweet things as this is our way to detect glucose for our brain; salty things for minerals, etc. Our pets diets are different, so are their taste preferences. Iirc, a totally blunt piece of dried food tastes great for a cat, since they seek protein more than anything.
You’d want to also consider, that desktop components were not created for 24/7 usage. My previous motherboard died by overheating south bridge – it likely wouldn’t happen in a desktop usage, but 24/7 didn’t let it cool ever. The chip has a small ‘volcano’ in the middle now.
Well, it’s never lupus, so…
Well, hardware-designed dock station would work, sure. They don’t require any additional software. For example, for M1 MacBook Air with MacOS there are two options: HW docks would work out of the box, no software or tinkering needed. But you are limited with only one external display (Apple decided so). SW docks (DisplayLink) work great and give you multiple displays and stuff, but require drivers. And also after reboot you have to log in before dock can launch its software companion. Also, since it’s software, OS updates can cause malfunction and/or incompatibility. I expect situation be more or less the same with all OS.
That’s true for any OS though. DisplayLink dock is software dock and must have proper drivers installed to work.
While a nice addition to the meme, the stated is incorrect, according to the investigation from article.
Sorry for being that guy.
But we already have countries with free healthcare and education for citizens.
UBI experiments are also ongoing in many places and government programs are usually available at least for limited groups like disabled people, veterans, some unemployed, etc.
And less consumption-centric world would do much more good for these initiatives than further automation of low-level jobs, I think.
I think screenshots are kind of normalized already. They are detached from the original and we accept that we can’t alter those. Integration, however, is another thing as we can now define how in sync it should be. Anyway, even our chat is already proof of the point :-)
Yeah, I think in technical sense the best way is to retrieve the linked post as some package (ZIPped JSON, for example) and cache it for a while. And then check once in a while if the original has changed. So you can display latest available version of the original was removed.
However, this way sparks another conversation about if original author have a right to take his words back (remove/edit the post).
There is a potential problem with deleted posts, however. Basically, screenshot is less likely to be removed than post. Same issue as with leaving hyperlinks vs. copying content.
This should be handled by (auto)mod tools, allowing good faith users to help filter non-fitting or low quality posts, and preventing bad actors from downvote fireworks.
There are possibilities to limit available downvotes either by throttling amount per time/community/instance/user, by demanding to have a certain “reputation” in the community/instance or by making downvote cost your own “reputation”.
None of the above is perfect, but IMO outright removing a right to disagree is against community interests.
Currently I can either leave a “harassment” comment: “wtf this is doing in this community”, make complain to a mod (if there is any active), or ignore the post. Neither help community grow stronger, I think.
