Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he’s acting against the interests of the US.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

And they didn’t mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren’t cheap.

Microsoft bought it. They’re not going to let their paying userbase of millions of coders evaporate…

Lemmy is more reddit-like, while mastodon is more twitter-like.

They do federate, so yes, you should be able to see, like and comment between them.

“company wants to hire person” isn’t exactly news, is it?

As a drinker of both, I’ll have you know coffee a baked bean beverage, thank you very much.

Good. Maybe the envoy can explain the concept of freedom of expression to them. It’s going to come as rather a shock…

[double dick dude has entered the chat]

I’m not judging, I’m curious 🙂

Was she born with it or is it Maybelline? Can she get double pregnant? Did another AI model have to give up theirs for this? Will she only ever be able to orgasm with Double Dick Dude?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I say things got a little crazy… Why does she have two vaginas?

Hmm… Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay…

Make it a denial of service attack!

That’s very interesting, thanks!

So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used… The solution seems obvious…

Public bulletin boards are forbidden in, iirc, Brazil, or at least in the capital. Made for a very different view.

We truly love in interesting times. Fuck, I wish we didn’t.

As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.

Inside jokes are part of the glue that makes a community.

You’re totally entitled to not liking them, of course, but I fear such a feature is going to see so little use that it’s not worth implementing. Could of course just be part of a user-submitted tagging system, where you and the like-minded can tag these for each other.
