I mean, yeah. Reddit is so big that they don’t give a shit whether you use the platform or not. They can continue falsely banning thousands of people each day because their user base is so big that those lost users wouldn’t even be a rounding error.

Stop patronizing places that don’t give a shit about you beyond how much they can sell your data for.

For real, the only hard drives I’ve ever had fail on me were Seagates.

Not putting your fucking shopping cart away. There’s no better way for me to explain it than the shopping cart theory:

Is Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?

I’m going to go drop off my ballot and sit back and wait for the results. There is nothing more I can do so there’s no sense in worrying about it. Focus on things you can actually change.

For anyone that thinks Microsoft is going to be in full control of the daily operations of this plant, you are sorely mistaken. The NRC has extremely strict regulations for all power plants, and I can promise you that Three Mile Island will be run to the same standards as any other nuclear power plant in the United States. TMI had design flaws that were heavily studied after the incident, and the findings from those investigations have influenced new legislation to prevent such accidents from happening again. The plant will be entirely overhauled to meet modern safety standards before coming back online, you can’t just chuck some uranium back into the core and flip a switch to turn it back on.

This is going to be very unhelpful in your circumstance, but a filesystem like ZFS can scrub the entire pool and find/repair any corrupted blocks. It will report how many bad blocks it found during the scan.

Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.

Because you turned a completely innocuous discussion about nude beaches into an unhinged rant about sexualizing children. Nudity does not inherently mean sexual.

A short comment like “yeah I don’t know how I’d feel about children at a nude beach” would have been fine, but the extent to which you’re talking about it comes off as creepy and projecting.

Surely a company like Microsoft or Sega has enough weight to throw around to get a contract obligating the GPU provider to continue providing GPUs for X amount of years after the console’s launch, right? Maybe that was an oversight on the original Xbox, but I don’t see why they couldn’t do that now.

Never had any major issues in my past decade of using iOS. Minor bugs here and there, sure, but it mostly just works.

This sounds so ridiculous it’s perfectly on par with these people. I love it.

And the 7/11 corn dog is better than any I’ve eaten in the US.

Oh hey, I know where this is. I’ve been here before. This is near Surprise, Arizona.

Cotton Lane is a road with cotton fields on either side of it for miles. There’s a prison nearby as well as the town of Surprise and the local zoo. This is all near Luke Air Force Base, west of Phoenix.
