You mean for fucks sale (or, well, they do)

How could I? Even saying "hello world" in your format is like, what, 35 MB?

Yeah, that's, like, incredibly wasteful. 720p is fine. Where are the 540p ripcorders at?

Please don't, it's still usable to browse Gemini content with software like Buran and Deenum.

Not really federated. You can't, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.

Never have been.

inb4 "it depends" but, well, really, it depends, on the what.

Having something to lose because you care for them means they are a liability and a weak point that can be exploited. They are also a natural distraction. In that sense, their presence and status as "things to care for" make you weaker; however, the fact that you care grants you motivation, as well as spite, that can be pretty hard to find elsewhere. You won't find people who truly care so much as to give their lives for their employer, even top level bootlickers shy away once things get dicey. And spite is quite the damn effective motivator! So, the fact that you can have something to lose promotes you to keep up a higher "action baseline": waking up in the mornings, keeping yourself healthy and open enough to actually go and protect, etc...; those make you stronger.

As someone who has had 8 cats before and has also provided support for 7 other ones, I can easily tell that their cute little purrs are energizing and I'm more active and aware of the world around me simply because I have to find good quality cat food for cheaper. So if anything I'm a "stronger" agent in the commerce.

Boot it once, don't let it ever fully power down (suspend is fine).

If your V1 is on firmware 3.1 or 4.1 but does not work with the RCM jig and you have run your serial ID through the test site and it comes up as "possibly ipatched", you might be able to use "online boot" via Pegascape, which you can also host locally (eg.: in a raspberry pi) and there is at least one alternative frontend. It's pretty much the only way to boot an ipatched > 3.x into hekate without a hardmod, and even then it's only limited to firmware 4.x that I know.

(On such a setup, you'd then install an eMMC partition for CFW with the firmware you want, eg.: 16.x).

That's the neat part, you don't!

Aaaah finally, a counterpart for the "two women angry at cat" meme!

The void:

Hey! Listen!

Void in training!

"Hoooman, I'm not gonna help you with that 23 kg limit"

What are those benefits? The only potential one I have direct experience with (besides speed) is that the connector is reversible, but even that's small-time and a flat out objective downgrade compared to the circular connectors of the 90s, which could be plugged in regardless of orientation.

Sure, if you want; as long as whoever does that retrofits all my USB-A devices.

Wow hadn't seen that image in a good while!

It changed my economy game.

Now I have to buy an USB-C to USB-A adaptor to plug USB-C stuff into my already standing devices. Honestly, no idea why didn't they make it connector-compatible. Wasn't that the entire point of the "U" in "USB"?

Reddit is going to transition to a right wing platform right before our eyes.

is going to

effectively forcing their own personal feed preferences on everyone who uses Lemmy

But... that's how voting literally works. Hence one of the smartest ideas I saw once for Lemmy (and for the Fediverse in general) was to substitute upvoting/downvoting for "voting on tags", such as being able to tag a post as "fake news", "inspiring" or "AI generated" and have people vote on those instead of on the psot / comment proper. Alas, I don't know what ever happened to that proposal, and could never find it again to track it down.

But, see, that's the thing and that's why there's an important difference between blocking and downvoting:

If I block something bad, like say fake news or fascism or AI, I block it only for me, it's only protecting myself; but if I downvote it, I also help protect my peers. If we want to make community, that's very important. And like any measure, it can be gamed, but so long as it's the one option we have, we gotta use like that. I expect AI slop to be batch-downvoted; if I didn't, I'd be back at Reddit.
