  • Maybe because that server synced with this server, assuming this is your home instance. If the comments aren't on any record here, they might get deleted from the other server.

    Option 2: you attempted to make those comments but they never went through because this server was already having problems. So they never truly existed on the other server?

    I'm just guessing, I don't know how the hell this fediverse stuff works.

  • It's possible. Drive failures can have very strange side effects that seem almost random and are difficult to diagnose. If your SSD is throwing errors then I'd be suspicious of it, not just your storage disk (I'm assuming we're taking about two different drives here).

  • There are different ways to do it, some decent, some bullshit. And it's only useful if it's powered by renewable energy like wind/solar. But it's largely unregulated, so a lot of corps grossly overestimate the amount of carbon they're capturing. Or just flat out lie.

    The main problem is that it's presented as some sort of big solution, when it's more like putting a SpongeBob band-aid on a gunshot wound. Corps use it to justify continuing to fuck the atmosphere with things like....jet fuel, for example.

  • Brendan Eich is vocally against gay marriage, it's not a secret. Also Brave is fuckin SKETCHY. They've always come up with "creative" ways of making money, sometimes inserting affiliate links into their users' searches, sometimes selling their data, other times getting into weird crypto schemes.

    Every time somebody catches them doing something sketchy, they put out a big "OOPS SORRY THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT" statement, and their fanboys just forgive them and act like it's no big deal. Then they troll Reddit (and now Lemmy) blindly repeating how great and privacy-focused Brave is.

    The only browser worth your time is Firefox. If you insist on sticking with a Chromium-based browser (which is most of them, including Brave), then Arc is pretty damn cool.

    1. American internet is garbage, as others have already pointed out.
    2. The term "third world country" is outdated, inaccurate, and usually offensive. It often comes off as racist, even if that's not intentional. Try to avoid using it unless you're sure it's appropriate (it almost never is).

    What that designation OFFICIALLY meant is that the country remained neutral during the Cold War. That's all! The "First World" countries were NATO allies and the "Second World" countries were the other side led by the Soviet Union. The implication is that the countries that didn't pick a side in the Cold War were underdeveloped (which is a flawed assumption, but it was partially correct AT THE TIME).

    More recently, the term has become synonymous with "poor" countries, usually those filled with non-white people. Which is dumb, because plenty of the first- and second-world countries WERE and ARE very poor. And some countries that WERE under-developed during the Cold War have since become more developed. India is the most obvious example, it's surpassing China in a lot of population+economic metrics now.

    tl;dr "third world country" is a designation that's not only offensive; it's outdated, inaccurate, and dumb.

  • Wait, what the hell happened at the end with the enormous "FUCK SPEZ!" that covered the whole thing? Watch the timelapse, you can see it as all the pixels start to fade to white:

  • Yeah, she didn't present because she's not an idiot. And these lawyers and judges just did what they do best and fondled corporate balls, probably didn't even look at the evidence or make an effort to find the truth.

  • She's an Australian citizen, it would be idiotic to expect her to fly to America to attend a trial for something she didn't do. If I got a letter from an Australian court telling me I had to fly there to defend myself, I'd tell them to fuck off.

  • Don't tag it, report it. This post breaks Rule 6 of this community: no trolling.

  • Well, this happens to affect the Ryzen 5 3600, which I'm pretty sure is one of AMD's most popular processors ever....so you're certainly not alone.

  • X.org

    Jump
  • His funeral was lit

  • It's not a sensible path for a school with budget constraints (which is most schools). They would need to come up with a new MDM solution because they can't manage their computers with Google anymore. So their IT costs would increase dramatically, probably more money than they would save by keeping the old hardware alive. The simplest path forward is to just buy new Chromebooks.

  • the original creator

    Your mean like..... God?

  • Wow get this genius some venture capital funding

  • The decision probably involved a big line of cocaine

  • I think it's new, I've only seen people sharing it recently (in the past week). That count is likely outdated.

  • Supposedly this is a temporary logo until they can create a more permanent one. It literally came from some random that tweeted at him (X'd at him? Lol). He asked for submissions and just chose one, maybe he accidentally laid off all the graphic designers.

  • DDG is still probably the best option. Their CEO gave a pretty extensive explanation of why this is happening and how it's sort of unavoidable at the moment, though they're trying to change how things work.
