That’s kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.
No. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.
Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)
Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.
I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)
I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.
I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.
You can interpret anything how you choose, kind of like we have to do with your grammar.
You are missing my point, but I also wasn’t clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.
I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don’t actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It’s could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.
OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn’t really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform “content”.
Something similar has been done before and it was really easy to spot. I won’t get into the details, but it was really trashy. There are other communities that try to copy Reddit already and I block most of them.
Communities driven by one persons posts or by a cluster of bots generally suck. Yes, communities must start with only one person, but if nobody else likes the idea and the community doesn’t drive participation from Lemmy as a whole, it’s simply noise.
Post content that you like, in communities that matter to you. If you like a particular strain of content, start a new community. People will join or they won’t. Read the room and continue driving the community, or don’t.
Automated posts have their place, but most people can spot it fairly quick. It generally doesn’t drive participation as much as organic posts.
Bluntly though, if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit. Lemmy isn’t Reddit and that is what people generally like about it.
The ones I have been in do. Dunno if it is a standard feature though.
I have one highschool GPA.

Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.
Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)
(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, but rarher more of a “spread the love” vibe.
It’s the logo for Aphex Twin, an iconic electronic music producer.
Corn smut (Ustilago maydis), on the other hand, is supposed to be tasty.
The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.
I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.
It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.
Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.
Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.
The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever…) didn’t matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn’t exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.
Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn’t filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff. This work was split across multiple studios.
I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.
Memes are the communist gateway drug.
