If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared, what would be the most difficult thing to explain about life today?
That smoking is bad for them. You'd just be banging your head against their socially-acceptable-at-the-time drug addiction.

If you could pick your time and location of birth, anywhere and anywhen in all of the world and it's history - which place/time would you pick, and why?
Oslo. Yesterday. Norway is playing life on easy mode. Massive oil & lithium reserves. NATO. Far North in a hot World.

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
"Try again." Particularly involving schoolwork. Derelict teachers then complained when the result of trying again would be identical, to the letter, for the same reasons as the first time. But teach? They did not.

ULTRARAM may be a silly name but it's the holy grail for memory tech and means your PC could hibernate for over 1,000 years
It would have to be always active, checking for radiation induced flips, not just powered off.

Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?
Deleting the thread out from under you is usually bad behaviour, but in the one instance it happened to me the chap was entirely right to do so - he'd left his exif location data in the image. Still, the hedgehog pic was good enough to be posted again, which I did.

Married couples using two bedrooms instead of one. Just try saying that two people in a bed means two immune systems wage war. Or that double beds were popularised by the influx into cities during the industrial revolution and lack of accommodation. And see what happens...

What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?
The Portable Apps Platform - free portable software meta app. It's there, every day, like the Windows start button is there.

I hate when things are subtly reduced when they think we'll not notice. I'm glad Lemmy is not that way. For, speaking of images, here is a link to my original picture. You may notice that the copy held in this thread has grown by 15kb. Well done Lemmy - no shrinkflation here.

Could child labor ever be acceptable if it's done consentually?
Yes, when it's the product of apprenticeship, where there is a clear gain, without loss in other areas of education. As to the amount of time it takes from childhood, the matter is less clear, as it is within societies that permit cram schools. But if you allow one, then you can allow the other.

What is your dark figure/shadow person story?
The story is A Wizard of Earthsea (1968, Ursula K. Le Guin), I read it when I was very young, and shadow person is the plot.

What are your favorite add-ons for Firefox?
All of this may beg the question: What add-ons would we like to see?
One that doesn't exist is QOI Viewer that would render the Quite OK image format into a png for Firefox to display.
