This is the technology community. If you’re not interested in reading about new and groundbreaking tech, maybe you should block this one, start a consumerism community, all about stuff you can buy.

The rest of us are quite happy reading about potential ideas and research that may or may not become something profitable.

There’s a lot to be said for the late 90’s. Post Cold War, but pre 9/11.

It’s not perfect for everyone, especially if you’re LGBT+, but it’s got a lot going for it.

I had one with solar and one without, I think the solar is mostly useless.

It only takes a short time to charge it up with the USB charger (proprietary charger, FYI) so I don’t think it really matters.

I have a Garmin watch. Lasts 2+ weeks on a charge depending on how I use it.

I think the original intent of the meme is that a nurse or a CNA would be cleaning up after their bowel movement.

But these people are clearly mobile enough that they can certainly use the bathroom by themselves, and the way they’re looking at each other it kind of gives a different vibe.

Edit: dammit, I said no questions!!!

I choose to read this as a sex meme. I will take no questions.

I recently subscribed. It’s only $3/mo so it’s really inexpensive, but also it feels like it’s just a heavily curated YouTube.

There’s nothing I’ve found on nebula that’s not also on YouTube. The only real benefit (to me, not the creators) is that there’s no sponsorship in the video.

That being said, the app isn’t as polished and I feel like I’m just remembering which creators I follow on both and when I see a new video from one of them in YouTube, I flip to nebula to watch it, then go back to YouTube for my other subscriptions.

Cause using superman for his actual ideal use would be pretty boring for a comic book.

No, the Teletubbies are the Eloi from The Time Machine. They are simple creatures that can’t possibly understand the technology they use, so they don’t make it or maintain it.

They freak out and go to bed when the sun goes down. Probably because the Morlocks are coming.

The world is far too technologically advanced for it to be Hobbits. The Hobbits are specially written to be essentially self sufficient and don’t desire anything more advanced than beer (and magic fireworks.)

It CAN be time based, but there’s also a “hot” and an “active” sorting. Both of which are “algorithms”.

It’s a lot more simple of an algorithm, and doesn’t intentionally push specific topics, but if you open https://lemmy.world/ anonymously, you’ll see a default “All/Active” feed which is sorted by engagement.

McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.

Yup, sounds like I need to wait for quite a few patches and some real reviews before I buy Kerbal Space Program 2 Subnautica 2

Racist people be like…

New guy at work ran this to try to fix permissions on his home folder, accidentally ran it on root (both would have been bad)

Several highly paid and experienced Linux admins finally just gave up and deleted the server and built a new one from the backups.

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

10 years in jail is what’s stopping them.

It’s REALLY hard to create a dead man’s switch that works, but also leaves no trace. Even if you delete the script after it executes, there’s probably backups or logs that show what happened.

Your kids might appreciate it. Just ask.

I think that has more to do with safety laws and emission standards than anything else. How can you properly crash test a fully modular car?

I’d love it if cars were more repairable, but modular would be a really tough design problem.

Heck, you NEED a screen in the US on any car due to backup cameras being mandatory. If you need a screen, I can see why companies would just use it for the infotainment system.

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Any modern US house would have a similar capability, it’s just older homes that would struggle since there would never be a need for such high power devices in a garage.

Most older garages would only need enough power to run a single lightbulb, if it was slightly newer, maybe a low power automatic garage door opener.

It’s the same in any country with buildings over 100 years old.
