Parallax

Is it only when you turn the PC on? I have to imagine it’s Arch initializing everything, and probably isn’t unusual to run at a default refresh (60Hz) before getting the graphics driver loaded and switching settings.

I’m for it if it actually increases adoption. IPv6 has its flaws but it’s better than layers and layers of IPv4 NAT.

Honestly, as long as they attribute the text to “ChatGPT” or similar, that’d be fine with me. I may or may not read it, but at least be transparent. And at least please deal with the repercussions of firing your staff for the hype.

Maybe it’ll help as long as the fine is some % of their net income. Sweden does this, speeding tickets are a % of your income instead of a fixed fine, so someone with $10MM will still feel the burn.

Thanks, I’ll check it out! I honestly run into disk space issues with Ubuntu Server a lot. I’ll give it a partition and it will fill up with this opaque “ubuntu–vg-ubuntu–lv” volume pretty quickly.

Here’s a df -h on it right now:

/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 38G 17G 20G 47% /

Need to manually prune Docker and run other admin tasks to keep it under control.

I don’t use Linux at work (I wish I did), but I default to Ubuntu Server for at-home Docker needs. I might switch to plain Debian at some point.

I’m doing this as well. It helps a lot that the user base is smaller (in a good way) here, which means posting something relevant/valuable has a better chance of being noticed, which in turn makes me want to post more.

Try posting a well thought-out comment in a huge thread on Reddit a couple hours after it was posted… you’ll get lost under all the jokes and puns.

To be fair though, I’ve never heard of a modern phone battery swelling. That’s something that will happen years after it’s EOL, and at that point the company is no longer obligated to supply a replacement (as ideal as that would be).

An integrated battery allows the company to minimize the size and design of the phone. It’s not 100% greed and planned obsolescence, though its virtually guaranteed those are components of the design decision.

It’s not super new, they’ve been doing that for a while. It’s pretty difficult to get a direct source to the image even if you dig into your browser’s developer tools.

Same here. I don’t want to wipe out all the valuable info I’ve contributed over the years just to satisfy a desire to get revenge. The amount Reddit as a company suffers from deleting a single account is negligible, but that account could have exactly what someone needs one day. We’ve already collectively lost a lot of knowledge and information in just the past 10-20 years due to things not being archived properly - think source code for old games, websites pre-Archive.org, out of print books, etc.

I miss custom ROMs. I haven’t messed with them since 4.4 KitKat.

Other examples off the top of my head are Photoshop and Office. It doesn’t seem like you can really “own” them anymore, at least not current versions.

If I could go back in time I would keep plastic, but make it seem scary/dangerous due to how it never breaks down in the environment, and in turn hopefully cause regulation over how plastic should be produced, recycled, and disposed of before it became such a massive ubiquitous problem (micro plastics, pacific gyre, pollution, etc).

Massively depends on the content/channel/algorithm though. My friend definitely uses TikTok as a dopamine dispenser for arguably mindless content. On the other hand I’ve gotten into a sort of mental health improvement/acknowledgment/acceptance of things type of TikTok where I feel like I’m taking a way a lot of small useful insights, even though the videos are only 30-60 seconds long. I keep a note on my phone with the takeaways I’ve had.

I think it depends on the context though. Data mining of environmental sensors might yield valuable insights. Mining anonymized medical data could improve chances of catching a disease early, etc.

Agree on ads though. Nothing like having pharmaceutical ads stuffed down my throat while trying to watch a speedrun or whatever.

Replacing “comment” with “artwork” kind of helps illustrate it. If we all made tons of artwork for Reddit, then they started gating it behind a paywall and while painters and all the behind-the-scenes painting staff earned nothing – well that’s kinda where we are today.

Their old sock needed to work out more. Now, it’s a LeanSock.

Twist: your old username was RegularWolf. :p

One thing is for sure, goodwill was lost and some would-be contributors and commentors have left the platform for good. It might be a small percent, but it happened, and something was lost due to their handling of this.
