RAM is memory inside the computer, ROM is memory on the disk (5.25" floppy)

Only for the moment. Spammers have already found us, but so far in small numbers. All the other bad parts of social media are already here too, just so far not in large amounts and so you can find useful content. But those who gain from the garbage are coming and decentralization doesn't help.

If you must be on those platforms (because face it, that is where grandma is) don't doom scroll. I block all from the creator of shared memes on facebook - then when I block two I use that as a sign I'm done for the day. You should follow similar rules - make it clear that you want social media for social purposes and the memes, information (which is likely false or exaggerated), and everything else is not welcome to you. Alone you and I are nothing, but together we start to become a statistics that they will notice. Thus my plea that you follow similar rules as me in blocking the non-social parts and not doom scrolling - if there are enough of us they will be forced to make their platform more useful to keep us for one more ad.

So why are we talking - nothing gives me any indication you are in the same community as me (odds are strongly against it), so nothing is being organized. The world needs more ways to organize communities not large groups who don't have a small communities in common to do something about.

Just like kde 4.0 and wayland were not marketed to consumers and yet consumers used them anyway and then decided latter releases marketed to consumers must also be bad.

There are some linux tablets which may be better if you want unlock. less apps but much more hackable.

Unless you can buy them out assume dump trucks in your backyard. I'd refuse to buy with those terms. Worse than a hoa.

What rights do they have. There is a big difference between they have (or plan to have) a tunnel under your house if the vein of whatever they are mining happens to go that way, and they have rights to knock down your house. Different states have different rules.

Oil is a liquid so if they have a well on your neighbor's land they are taking "your" oil so it makes sense to make them buy out the entire neighborhood - but they are don't need to access your surface, the pump elsewhere is enough. Similar for underground mines, they follow the vein of mineral wherever, and don't care what you do on the surface.

However there are other cases where their pit mine gets bigger and they need to take your land and your can do nothing about it since they have those rights they give you notice and a check (they probably have to buy your house, but maybe not!) and you have to leave in a few months.

In between they can put a well or ventilation shaft in your backyard, but other than having to look at it forever, and the time when they build it there isn't much loss of your yard (some loss, but not much).

The good news, in places where this is done all the time the courts and law have worked out all the details. The contracts tend to be 1 page that just refers to the hundreds of pages of legal documents saying how things are done. (by contrast if you lease land for a wind turbine it will be hundreds of pages - the legal details are not known so they have to cover all the details) You can go to a local cafe and ask a stranger and probably get reasonably good advice since everyone will know what really happens based on what happened to someone else. Or half an hour with a lawyer and get real information.

The bad news, different states have different rules. Sometimes cities or counties also have rules. As such there is no way anyone can say anything without knowing exactly where you live.

Swiss banhs used to do this, but not anymore. Cayman islands is said to do this but I don't know details. Otherwise russia or north korea might help. nothing where you should trust your money to though.

note that even though you might find a place to do this it is still illegal and it is generally not hard to follow money trails so you ard likely to be caught.

That Is one reason why I choose to join a kbin instance back in the day. Many lemmy devs are scummy people who support this.

i try to block all .ml groups so I don't engage them. You should too.

How does trumb have this power? Taxes should start in congress

Like Mormons, many christian groups consider the theological differences strong enough to not call them christian. Of course Christian is a label that was applied by outsiders to talk about this new sect and so I guess really what counts could be how outsiders think of them.

Take your pick. You can argue either way.

I wouldn't call them a cult - they have some elements like a cult, but I want to reserve the word cult to something a little stronger/less moral. Cults tend to abuse children (child abuse is everywhere, but cults it would be part of them) or commit mass suicide.

Note that you never notice the things you are doing wrong. So you yell at the person tailgating you, while not caring that you are following too close. When someone else doesn't use a turn signal they are an idiot, when you don't it was a honest mistake.

I can still hate choices that are hostile to my ability to use teams. I still miss lynx which did much better for my needsi

There is a tradeoff. When someone is sharing a screen I want to see more of their screen. A powerpoint should 10 lines mx of large font. A screen share often needs me to see what they do and zoom in loses useful lines - to teams things I don't even care about.

It demands too much screen space. you can't rum less than full screen without losing important things. Even full screen I often can' see the presentation clearly because it shrunk the presentation in favor of avitars / videos of other people.

now that I'm old I cannot see tiny text like I used to. I thus get really mad at useless spate while I'm strurgling to read the presentation. you will understand when you turn 45 too.

Having checked the mod logs I avoid anything from there. They regularly show up a deleting insightful comments - I thus wish to 'punish' the instance by ignoring is. I hope that makes it less valuable to everyone who uses it.

alone I'm almost nothing of course but others are like me and together .ml is the worse.

yes but you have to open both shutters at the same time. The ground doesn't have a shutter.

Sockets with flaps are code in the us too and have been for a while.
