I think this may not be a bad way to teach kids the dangers of compound interest, but only if you refund the excess interest afterwards because actually tricking your kid into draining their bank account in interest is a dick move.
Well, I would just keep watching without signing in, then. Losing out on recommendations would be mildly annoying, but I could still access my subscription feed by being signed in on one window and copying video links to another one where I’m not.
My concern is that this race to the bottom is so that they can intentionally become unsustainable due to ad blockers. From there, they may be able to get Congress to ban ad blocking altogether.
It’s not even just the technical barriers. Lemmy has technical barriers and still works fine. Matrix is soooooo fucking SSSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. A simple chat program that takes longer to load a channel than it takes for my aging PC to boot an AAA game is simply unusable. This is 2024, not 1994.
That’s crazy lol, it was soooooo bad! I felt like that and some of the attempts to appeal specifically to straight men were the things that ruined an otherwise very interesting show.
I don’t understand (from a technical standpoint) why they can’t just ship a dual boot that only partitions any real space for an OS once you actually use it. Linux is what, 2-3GB on its own with a DE? You could use less than 1% of a modern computer’s storage to give users the option to activate and allocate space to an already-working Linux install whenever they feel like it, and if they really need those few gigs and don’t want Linux, they could just delete it.
I felt like ENT had potential for greatness given its premise, but every single time time travel was involved, it actively made the show worse. It was supposed to be all about the early beginnings of the Federation and the first Enterprise’s journey into the unknown, but they kept interrupting it with random temporal cold war bullshit that nobody cares about.
Are you seriously trying to argue that fungi have a level of consciousness or sentience because they have simple chemical processes that guide their growth based on external stimulus?
I suppose you must also believe that growing Chorus Plants in Minecraft are self-aware because they don’t grow through blocks.
I am not saying bacteria are conscious. I am saying that as a fungus (or bacterium), you wouldn’t be aware of environmental collapse because you wouldn’t be aware of anything. You wouldn’t suffer.
