That is technically correct and part of learning English (for non native speakers).

Radon Mitigation system installed
Radon is no joke. My best friend (who died, see my past post if you want) had an old house with air radon levels far beyond the healthy level. He had cancer multiple times, but of course no one can say if it's related.
Still, I'd always recommend taking measures.

Yes with basement as German houses mostly have. The values were worse there but still very bad at ground level.
Regarding cancer, it returned twice afaik. Non smoker or drinker, cycling in nature.

What's going on with PHP?

I disagree to a certain grade. If you have Internet facing services, this is not optional.
Eg automated security updates every night.
But what events like these always show is that even many professionals are doing it manually and amateurs partly never.
This is an observation.

Temu, shein and AliExpress flooded customs over the breaking point, this is the reaction.

That too but he/she referred to the limit so should know it. Also asking for what changed, that's how we got here. But you're right its not really consistent.

Well, there's mostly temu and AliExpress to blame for that. They gamed the system, now the rules got changed.
Sucks for me too but in general I agree it's not okay to flood our customs over the threshold to (literally) ship garbage into the EU.

I'm quite fluent in English but could you please explain whiplash in this context? I would've thought some scandal with players maybe revolting but that does not seem to fit.
So maybe some surprising new behaviour?
Interestingly I always turned my PS2 off the intended way from the beginning. But my pc side might've influenced me to do that, especially with filesystems that die not yet feature journaling
The most gruelling change in consoles were that they have an OS and storage too and are basically PCs. Gone is the fun of just flipping the switch and starting.

And then there is the truth that if nobody is persecuted yet it will also not change by voting the other party. That needs an even greater push than just voting (but still vote!).

[serious] Why is Lemmy community generaly against AI?
Decades it pro, working on central stuff.
The current ai aka LLM is based on an illegal foundation, has high training and running resource cost and produces results that everyone in their field has to at least rework. This is while there are comparatively lightweight solutions that produce good results.
Not even mentioning the environmental and financial impact.
So yeah it's a tool and can be trained and used for useful things but it's sold as the solution for everything (especially them milking money) by the tech bros which it is absolutely not, leaving a wake of destruction and massive brain drain.
The worst part is that superficially it looks the part and higher ups in the business ate the most gullible people.
