  • Watching this post. I still don’t fully understand how Usenet works.

    It's ok not to understand something, that's always the default. And I'll try to support that sentiment by admitting: me neither! 😅

  • Sure, for a basic machine that allows for better than 20mph, or 35kph.

    What makes you say that? Wearing a helmet is always recommended, since it provides protection against debilitating injuries whether the cyclist moves at 35km/h or is at a standstill. The basic risk of injury stems from being a mere participant in traffic, after all. Just like the basic risk of a debilitating defect in a piece of electronics that gets used every day stems from it getting used every day.

    Trying to compare that to my phone is a false equivalency. Try trolling someone that hasn’t had both university level ethics courses, and university level debate courses that I fucking hated. The debate ones, not the ethics. Ethics I breezed through. Debate is some absolute bullshit because you have to entertain the viewpoint of liars, like you.

    While I don't understand how ethics figure into this, I'm glad that you understand how a debate works! I'll graciously ignore the no doubt involuntary ad hominem (which you as an expert will know has no place in any kind of discussion) and will ask you to now employ the most useful technique you've likely learned in that course and rephrase the original point I made in a way that makes me go "Yep, that's what I said!", because from my point of view there must be some kind of misunderstanding. What (did you think) was I equating with what?

  • Exaclty … certain types in certain areas with a reason. That’s regulation.

    Which is just what I wrote, yes. Excising every unmaintained or outdated vehicle from traffic everywhere for example is just as valid a regulation as excising a certain type of food - any food - from general consumption. There'd simply have to be a good reason. And once there is, yep, what can and can be eaten gets dictated.
    Again, that's already how it works, in traffic and in cuisine.

  •  
            This would mean they’d be against food safety regulations, would it not?
    
    
      

    It would not.

    Having traffic laws isn’t the same as banning cars, either.

    Of course it is. Part of traffic legislation literally involves banning certain types of vehicles, either in certain areas or on any kind of public road in general.

  • Monetary needs and all that. If it’s a startup with VC then there is either not enough people paying or not enough private users supporting by other means like bug fixing, support, etc. Or greed by VC.

    Well, VC is greedy by design. A VC-funded business will never be optimized for longevity, a good product or happy customers. They may achieve those things en passant, but they're never the objective.

    For example: Any case of "there is not enough people paying" can also be rendered as "the scale and moving speed of the business is way off".

  • He puts on the veneer of caring about quality, but then gives up the game by admitting the real goal is the cheapest labor possible coughslaverycough.

    I don't even see any veneer there. "Especially if you're building lean, moving fast, or trying to scale without blowing your burn rate" doesn't exactly scream "I want to make something nice". Dude, stop moving and scaling, just sit down and build.

  • Hm, so usenet might be a bad idea if I were looking for old RPG rulebooks and adventure collections for Das Schwarze Auge, for example? That's too bad, I had considered signing up just for that, as the selection on Anna's archive is most incomplete.

  • This might be a bit of a bad question, but I don’t know where to ask to get the least biased responses.
    So, I have about $1.000 in Bitcoin that used to be $300 (I’ve put in about $1.500 in various shitcoins before getting those BTC)
    I fly drones as a hobby and I was thinking of getting a new system for that amount of money.

    It's not really a complex equation. If you need liquidity, liquidate assets. If you don't need liquidity, don't liquidate assets.
    How badly you want your new hobby system is something only you can answer.

  • Kind of offtopic: Can we call something offline if you need a server to run it?

    Sure, you could run it on your own PC and that’s it, but I don’t think that method fit well with this community

    Er... maybe I am misunderstanding your post but this community is literally built around hosting your own local infrastructure.

  • The Microsoft account holds a backup of the recovery key, which you need to use to restore access in if you do something like significantly change the hardware or move the drive to a different system (which are effectively the same thing).

    You don’t need it for day-to-day use of the system, and you can also just get the recovery key and print it out or write it down somewhere, which is usually how it’s handled on systems that don’t use a Microsoft account.

    Not as disastrous as I assumed then, thanks!
