You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.

Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore’s Law.

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

He doesn’t. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he’s not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.

legally required to increase the shareholders’ value.

First, this isn’t really true. Corporations are not required to increase shareholder value at any cost. Second, even if it were true, why would you still excuse those actions?

Why do you assume this has anything to do with a supply/demand curve? Because that’s the first thing you were taught in Econ 101 and it stuck?

In reality, most people aren’t that sensitive to small changes in price. And the demand drop is not instant. It might take months or years. Execs make the decision to raise the price, they don’t see the demand drop off immediately, and they instantly absolve themselves of any responsibility for the effects of their price increase. After all, there was hardly any demand drop in the quarter in which they made the change.

Look at say, Coca-Cola. You could easily double the price in five years and the price is negligible enough that most people won’t even notice. (Oh wait, they did this.)

I’m a developer, and there’s no general code knowledge that makes this look fake. Json is pretty standard. Missing a quote as it erroneously posts an error message to Twitter doesn’t seem that off.

If you’re more familiar with ChatGPT, maybe you can find issues. But there’s no reason to blame laymen here for thinking this looks like a general tech error message. It does.

Dude. Paragraphs.

Just to give a concrete example, there are a couple blatantly political posts on !fediverse. Do they belong there? Absolutely not. But by the time I saw them days later, the damage was done and they were already taken care of by downvotes. Should I really mod remove a week old post with 50 downvotes? The discussion there about why it didn’t belong was fine, and didn’t need to be hidden further.

If votes are anonymous and federated, it’s very easy for me to add or subtract 900 votes from whatever I want.

You should consider anything you do on social media to be public. Even if Facebook tries to claim that it’s not.

There’s a purpose in showing that you put a little bit of thought into the email, not only for courtesy, but also because spending that attention can help you spot errors.

Which it seems you’re missing the point of.

The thing is that if IPv6 were actually adopted, it would be straight up better. For everyone. It’s easier to use if it’s all the networking instead of just a niche case.

Are you not really in the tech industry? Because he’s right. And he’s sticking to facts.

!technology ?

You mean like if they went all tankie? Or like AOL email? This has already happened several times before and it’s fine. Google could kill gmail in six months and we’d all move on.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little centralization in your federation. It works well enough for email. The point is that you have the option, not that you have to use it.

You don’t have to trade one extreme for the other. In fact, I think this is the perfect example of that. Lemmy.ml is the developers’ instance, and by default would likely be the largest. Except… you know. Many, many people started there before going to other instances, especially the largest competitor.

You know what takes up less space? Software on the phone that I’m already carrying.

There have also been occasions where I forget my wallet but still have my phone to pay with.

Paywall

It was a wholesome way to fund the site before they sold out. There was nothing wrong with it being mostly pointless. In fact, it’s better that way. Money gated subs outside of that one meme seems pretty terrible.
