The US cutting off the rest of the world first does the exact opposite of this. No matter how big the US is, there’s not a chance in hell the US can both compete with China and antagonize the rest of the world at the same time. This is pure fantasy.

Been on Lemmy from Reddit for over a year. Really don’t miss it, except for a few niche communities.

Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

US policy doesn’t get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction. The US acting like it gets to bully the rest world into doing whatever it wants is the whole issue at hand. That’s the point: the trump admin wants to use US influence to intimidate, bully, and antagonize other countries by disrespecting their sovereignty.

Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.

For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.

“So what do you do for fun?”

If that’s too direct, just mention something fun you did recently and let them decide to respond in kind. If they don’t open up to you like that in the slightest, after you open up to them in such a small way, then you should just take the hint and go talk to someone else.

I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

I think it’s safe to say that intent is what matters, not the technicality of communicating that intent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention

This opinion is so backwards, it’s actually impressive.

The purpose of a locked boot system is to control what the device does as much as possible, which intentionally, or incidentally (it makes no difference) means the manufacturer and only the manufacturer gets to decide how much privacy they get to invade.

Get real.

It’s a tech demo. It’s not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.

Touch grass. No really. There’s an ultra high def Instagram for free, for real. /outdoors

Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.

Learning ESPHome has been the most liberating thing. Take back control of your home. Local first. Privacy respecting.

Oh well. Federation makes this a non issue.

Tobacco company selling cigarettes to kids. More at 11.

I’m pretty liberal and haven’t had much issue with lemmy.ml. Stay away from lemmygrad.

Been on Lemmy since the App/API ban. Haven’t looked back at reddit since, other than the occasional search result pointing to someone’s q&a.

Side note, anyone else tired of all the sanitized AI slop that pervades search results? The only websites worth visiting these days are user forums (incl. reddit/Lemmy) and wikipedia.

Fun fact, the accent circonflexe, the ^ in “â”, is basically an old silent s in French. So “râpe”, pronounced RAH-Pe, shows the etymology of the word: rasp. Similar with Hôpital, HOE-PEE-TAL: hospital.

Another fun fact, these style graters are also really great for making spätzel at home.

This isn’t a hate crime, it’s terrorism, since it was politically motivated.

everybody else, whether influencer or consumer, get fucked over in the process.

Enshittification correctly defined.
