Language barriers are a real impediment to understanding. But these people we’re talking about are angry because of xenophobia, don’t get it twisted.

I think anything you could call a smartphone had to be from post-2000 though, right?

Honestly the iphone was the first big (culturally) smartphone it not the first one.

Too bad, it’s here forever…

Upward mobility in any corporate environment involves social interaction. If you expect to just do ‘really good’ work and be automatically promoted all you’ll get is… more work.

Yeah, Top 6 Hours stays pretty fresh. And if I feel like it’s getting stale it means I’ve been on too long in a row and need a break anyway.

Then I just block any communities or instances I don’t want to see in my feed.

In that thread, the sponsorblock official account posted:

the ui needs to change to include ad links, so the data for when ads happen should still be retrievable somewhere in the page. Then just a bit of math

So hopefully, there will still be a method for sponsorblock to continue working.

I’m not super familiar with ZFS/RAIDZ, I guess it does extra data scrubbing and stuff to prevent data issues?

That’s cool. But a traditonal RAID setup still gives you redundancy and fault tolerance which is the important part, right?

Instead of a single external HD set up a NAS with a raid configuration so that even if a drive fails the data is safe.

I had the same issue as you and I bought a mini PC for under $200 and it works like a charm

It just means you hope the recipient is well.

The year 1AD wasn’t called 1AD in 1AD. The system was invented hundreds of years later.

I have a hook on the cabinet next to my desk that I hang my headphones on when not in use, but that the cable is also attached to. This keeps it out of the way. So the cable is basically hanging between the cabinet and my head. The cable also separates in the middle, so it tears away if I accidentally get up and walk away with them on.

I don’t think there is a specific number of grains where something becomes a pile. The state of being a pile is determined by qualities that are correlated but not strictly proportional to the number of grains.

In this way, two sets of sand grains could have the same number of grains, but not both be considered a “pile”, depending on their arrangement etc. Similarly, you could take a pile of sand grains and make it no longer a pile by changing its configuration (while keeping the grain count constant).

You could still ask what the minimum number of grains would be for something to ever be considered a pile. This is only measurable empirically, and is subjective.

I thought the paradox is why it keeps fucking asking me - I said yes dammit.

This isn’t an article headline, it’s a discussion post. I’m not sure Betteridge’s law applies.
