Fun show. Remember it fondly.

This applies to so many facets of life. It is only hard if you care. Like parenting.

I find this interesting. I know the OP’s question specifically asked for things that don’t affect you day to day, but do you find any kind of daily activities difficult? Just random thoughts… Folding clothes? Parallel parking? IKEA furniture?

I actually downgraded from whatever the latest Note was at the time for a second hand 6a. No complaints. And a fraction of the cost, and I’m not paying Verizon monthly installments for a “free” phone.

Related, I used to armor my phone because I get up to things that could result in damaging the phone up to and including dropping it in several feet of water. If it happens to my Pixel I’ll just go get another used one. Less stress FTW!

So, then, according to corpo logic, you’ve setup a system that automatically repeatedly breaks the law (copyright , maybe? Ianal).

And if the liability is on you for hosting a federation service with no control over the content and you are accountable for the replicated content, then it is effectively the end of federation. Again, not a lawyer but given how much the law favors corps over individual rights in the US it seems like it would track.

In your analogy I think Google sells chainsaws, lumber, wood stoves, and paper pulp.

Glorious.

Revenge of the down vote.

I love this community.

Mint and Arch. Two lowest parts of the graph… Yeah, that tracks.

Thanks for sharing this. Started hosting a local copy of several wiki sources last weekend once this news broke.

Another commenter said downloading is missing out on the best part of Wikipedia, the ongoing editing. Which, while true, is also going to be a weak point.

How many of those amazing editors are going to stick around when their full time job becomes combatting obvious right wing bullshit, when they have to submit gov ID to have an account on the site, and when common sense and fairness becomes a crime?

Wikipedia was a high point for humanity. Whatever comes next I’d like to preserve a little piece of it.

I will fake apologize if it helps get me what I want. Maybe that makes me a narcissist or disingenuous but so fucking what. It’s manipulation all the way down. Always has been. My “pride” is a small price to pay.

This is my last hope for America as we know it: MAGAts destroy themselves once their Christ figure is gone. It could devolve as you describe, but it might also be just the lull to prompt recovery.

And their parents allow them to blast the sound in public with no headphones. I can’t fathom the lack of give-a-fucks for their fellow humans (to include their own children).

This. I’m watching it in real time. I want to grab these fuckers by the shirt and shake them until they get it.

Instead, they’ll get promoted and leave the mess to be cleaned up by someone else.

Maybe to help the OP I’ll add a bit to your answer. The entire face of an analog clock is divided into fractional sections. Sounds like you’re really good at parsing those fractions, likely due to lots of practice.

So, big hand after the nine and before the ten? Between :45 and :50. First half of that? Between :46 and :47. More toward the beginning of the split? :46

Maybe OP hasn’t had as much practice so has to think about what 9 is in minutes? Nothing but practice would help get over that, I guess.

What level of bullshit lax security are these folks using that makes this statement is necessary?!

Incentives are aligned to go fast and break stuff, and what gets broken is your privacy and security.

I’ll admit to survivor bias in this case.

I’ve never met a dog who wouldn’t willingly make this trade.

Y’all not just out there vibe OSing?

Let’s not put the blame only on the parents. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds working for a corp would understand that taking credit for work does not mean the work got done.

Assuming the diapers aren’t tracked by barcode and there isn’t an independent inspector validating each operation, I would be MORE wary about my kid being well taken care of at a place that measures and tracks work this way. Especially since the types of management that would think this was a good idea are also the type to not understand how work actually gets done and drives to making the metrics look good at the expense of actually caring for human children.
