That highschool never ended for most people and the shitty cliques and drama continue for decades.

Bowling For Soup said it better than I ever could:

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
\ With who's the best dressed and who's havin' sex Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
\ Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess

And you still don't have the right look
\ And you don't have the right friends
\ Nothin' changes but the faces, the names and the trends
High school never ends

Somewhat fucked, but not to a terminal degree.

Privacy: The thief would gain access to graphic material of my girlfriend and I doing naked things that would confuse grandparents and excite therapists.

Security: My phone is logged into my emails l, so I'd have to react quickly to cut it off.

2fa: No issues, as I can easily migrate to a different device.

Billing: No issue. It takes 5 seconds to block the SIM.

My main concern is the short-lived email access they would gain. While the inbox does not contain anything horrible, they would be able to reset some passwords, so if my phone was stolen my number one priorities would be to get it my PC to lock out and erase the phone, change mail password, and check All of my user accounts whether they'd been compromised.

Was that two years already? I thought that was last year. Tme flies when you're having fun, I guess.

Projectgus.com He doesn't update very often, but it's quite interesting when he does.

I remember asking a friend of mine a similar question years ago. His answer was that the propeller of the weaker motor will slow down the boat unless you apply some extremely high blade pitch.

I have no research to back this up, but I think it's just a glitch that isn't detrimental to passing on one's genes, so the trait got to stay around. Not everyone has it.

But if I were to hypothesize an evolutionary benefit, maybe it is a good thing to sneeze out all the fungal spores from your cave once you emerge. But then again, if it was important, shouldn't this also induce coughing?

Ice cold!

I liked Java a lot more before Oracle acquired Sun. I've used Oracle databases enough to hate Oracle with the passion of a supernova.

The answer is probably "no", but.... Any interest in rolling your own? I once wrote a webcomic engine for a friend, and it was pretty trivial: a simple mod_perl script that grabbed a template and substituted a codeword with the picture the client requested.

Nothing fancy and pretty lightweight. My friend uploaded any new comics via FTP and made some minor changes to the template from time to time. It did the job well.

Not sure if Bad->Good is possible, but the other way around certainly is.

Imagine BBC nature documentaries being voiced by Gilbert Gottfried instead of David Attenborough.

I once did some research on this exact topic, and my findings pretty much mirror your guess.

Simplified explanation (shut up, Richard Stallman) : It's an operating system. In the same way a PC (or any other computer) has Windows (or OsX/MacOS, android, et.al.) as the connecting layer between the hardware and individual programs.

Linux can serve this role as well, and as it's free and open source, it's particularly popular among the tech and privacy enthusiasts here on Lemmy. Some use it for everything, some use it alongside windows (dualbooting), and some use it in a professional setting.

Linux is especially common on servers, but it's also gaining a lot of ground in the desktop space as well. Since Linux is free to distribute, many have over the years made lots of nux distributions specifically tailored towards particular use cases.

Tip: The Linux mint installer can boot into a fully fledged Linux without touching anything on your hard-drive, so if you want to check it out without installing, you can.

Lol Hi, plague critic!

0, because I hadn't enabled the option before now.

And just like that you're +1

I find it analogous to IRC - Many servers connected together with shared users and chat rooms.

I use the Element app on android, and https://app.element.io/ on PC

That reminds me that I was going to set up an "official" CasualConversations matrix chat, but then completely forgot.

This consumer electronics store here in Norway offer what I refer to as dumbass-insurance. If you break your TV/phone/whatever, they give you a new one if it can't be repaired. And it covers literally everything, as long as you still have the damaged devices.

It's relatively expensive, but as a parent of four, this has covered the cost of quite a few things in our household.

It might take a while for them to replace it (they may not have the exact device in stock), but it's worth it for me.

The entire country of Canada approves. Whether it'll work is unknown, though.

On the surface this might seem like a good idea, but I'm planning for the long term: more engineers.

The factory must grow.

Daytime. Instead of increasing iron production I'm currently focusing on keeping offspring alive.
