  • It's put into a semi truck trailer where other, many times heavier packages are most certainly placed on top of it. Those packages along with the beating it'll take from the road that desperately need to never be paved with concrete as it goes cross country, it will take some dings. The only way to be sure it's to make sure your package has adequate packing material.

    Otherwise your cardboard box will turn into a cardboard sack.

  • Because it's been so long since I've done any programming. I don't remember syntax other than BASIC and I'm 80% sure my if statement is done incorrectly.

  • If your package looks like that after shipping, you didn't use enough packing material.

     
        
    10: pack your box
    20: close box then shake
    30: If contents of box rattle around add more packing material go to 20 else go to 40
    40: tape box on seams and apply shipping label on box but not on box seams
    50: give box to courier
    
      
  • This is about half life on the dreamcast, not hl2.

  • Half life predates steam

  • I look at 'source available' software as the right to review the code yourself to ensure there's no malicious behavior, not for community development.

  • I'm more apt to believe that the government asked Microsoft to name it that to get SEO for Snowden messed up.

  • true value

    Glad you brought that up. The US Dollar hasn't meant anything since coming off the gold standard, and we can't control it's value so long as the Federal Reserve controls interest rates, and the government has a monopoly over what currencies we can and can't use. (No this isn't advocation for company script, if you can't spend it anywhere else it's not currency)

    With actual competition between companies, the laborer could actually compete for the best jobs and get the best compensation for their labor.

  • Because no one should have the rights to someone else's labor. If it's a completely voluntary system, that's a different story

  • Of all the things I've self hosted, it's by far the easiest. TrueNAS scale's kubernetes chart was pretty install and run. See ya over in !selfhosted@lemmy.world

  • Yeah, I would-be been fine if they just added a listing that was actually an ad, but replacing actual results with no option to not click the tracking injected link was enough for me. Ignoring their shitcoin is fine, it's not required to use their search. But I don't take kindly to bullshit if it's forced on me.

  • I used to, until they started changing links for actual results to have trackers built in. I couldn't click on specific websites i was searching for without my adblock putting a stop to it. Asked them about it in their discord and they basically told me to turn off adblock. Dropped them like a sack of potatoes and spun up a SearXNG instance. Before that I thought about spinning up a presearch node. Glad I switched to SearXNG. It basically accomplished what I wanted from Presearch without the ads and crypto shitcoin.

    If I had to switch to a new engine not run by me, I'd consider Qwant or maybe Kagi if paying for it is worth it. I'm old enough to be used to having stuff for free on the internet, doing it yourself to keep from having to pay for a service is a perfectly fine option for me.

  • Because HDMI predates DP. HDMI was initially just DVI-D with audio and encryption. That last part is what got the content producers to push the standard because piracy.
