When they defederated from lemmy.world, the stated reason was the open registration policy. Their registration process is handled manually. I suspect that they operate a much tighter ship when it comes to moderation. This has it perks and problems.

"Fully empty your battery before charging it up again, it increases the lifespan of the battery."

This was true before lithium-ion batteries became the norm. But for lithium-ion batteries, the opposite holds.

I wonder if /r/onlyfans will swap their content also.

This is terrible programming advice.

It doesn't even make sense. Hypersonic missiles are good at being hard to take down themselves. But you don't need that to take down an aircraft. You need super sensitive radar systems, since the claim is that these aircraft reflect about as much energy as a bumblebee would.

The peak linux experience.

But I love coding at work?!

The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn't) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.

So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?

This does not make them evil by any standard I know. It just sounds like a solid long term business plan.

When it comes to PFAS contamination, people have been having decent results by simply donating blood often. Getting it out of the system via blood does help to reduce overall levels in your body.

Flash traders.

They abuse the technologies used by the stockmarket to buy and sell within milliseconds, so they can make a profit. They add absolutely nothing of value to the system, yet leech both money and talented employees from the market.

If you have a handful of tanks, your enemy has to spend a lot of effort on getting rocket launchers. Not just buying them, but also the logistics strain to get them to the frontline.

And if you notice the enemy forgot to bring their launchers, you can deploy your tanks, and exploit their mistake.

Mass tank assaults are over. But using them as an integrated part of a force still makes sense to me.

This man has a point. It would be much more effective if the wind is always blowing into the turbines. That sounds impossible, but you could simply place the turbine on a car. Whenever driving, there is lots of wind, and it always comes from the front of the car (unless you put the car in reverse, but that is not a state that the car is in for a long time).

/s (although I have had to genuinly explain to people why this does not charge the battery of an electric vehicle).

Lemmy was first released in 2019. So its oldest user can be no older than about 6 years old.

Nope, nevermind. It was just a ruse to get me to open the door.

I hope this man has no Nintento hardware or games. Otherwise princess Peach ain't safe no more.

Could be age/health issues. Could be she doesn't like the litterbox filler that you use.

Note that purring does not mean she is ok. It means she trusts you.

That sounds complex. Just put some gunpowder at the rear end of the grenade, and stuff it in a small tube. You could make this small enough to stuff the tube under the barrel of your gun, or big enough that it can function as a small artillery piece.

I looked it up, and bread has about double the amount of carbs as cooked rice, which is probably what is making bread bad.

Probably a rice-only diet would also be bad for them, but nobody brings them tons and tons of rice, while everyone throws them a ton a bread.

This regime won't go away just because they loose an election. Trump might, but not the people who put him in power.

The constant threat that the checks and balances will fail again, will forever be present. Only if the USA has a massive political overhaul may the worries subside. Hence, any trust in the USA as a reliable partner is broken, until something big changes. Democrats winning the next 20 years of elections will still not fix what has been broken in the last few years.

If you are in one of the supported locations, I can recommend Breeze. Via Breeze you can't chat after matching. Instead you get a date planner in front of you. You pay for actual dates, meaning the app wants you to go on dates, since that is what gives them money. Cancelling dates is penalized via badges on your profile, and less priority in the algorithm. Hence, swiping right is a serious action, even more so than a message on the more serious sites. You also get a limited amount of profiles per day (around 5 to 10 or so), so you don't get lost in swiping sessions. And yes, you do get dates with people who you really don't click with. But the hour or two spend having a drink are still less of a waste of energy than chatting for 2 weeks to come to the same conclusion.
