letting fucking rich twats get away with it

That’s law in general…

That one died a few days ago too.

I think the data variant stores 1GB… good enough for archiving invoices and the like…

Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.

Turn off the PC and see how well that no-matter-what applies…

A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.

What’s the point of having inaccessible data?

ZFS FTW

Agree its not great for very long term storage though.

What would be?

becoming actual lost media physically

Reminded me of that Cowboy Bebop episode where they so hunting for a VCR.

MiniDisks too? Nooo!

TOML

Interesting… me likes it.

But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough

Nope. The news would die off in less than a week, short attention spans and all that.

Won’t that increase probability of skin cancer?

Edit: yes:

there is an extremely low probability that scars derived from such injury might later become cancerous

The planning board’s decision was based on health concerns due to the possible negative environmental impact of telecommunication on the residents, especially the children studying at the school who could potentially be exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

Because that surely would be the only cell tower in town.

It gets more fun if we’re talking SQL data via C API: is that 0 a field with 0 value or an actual NULL? Oracle’s Pro*C actually has an entirely different structure or indicator variables just to flag actual NULLs.

The code is my bible.

If there are no humans in the loop, sure, like for data transfer. But for, e.g., configuration files, i’d prefer a text-based solution instead of a binary one, JSON is a nice fit.

Do we though?.. 'Cos it seems to me the path has been deregulating.

What?! That’s impossible! Banks are credible, reliable, trustworthy! Cryptocurrencies, those are the baddies.

A LaGrange point would be nice… lots of stuff there, could prove useful in a few decades…

If I can’t buy groceries, pay rent or medical bills with it, it’s in not a real currency. If I can’t bail myself out with it, it’s not a real currency.

So any other fiat currency not your own is not real?

But sure, somehow paying money to get faux money that can’t really practically pay for my needs, and then needs to be reconverted to real currency to take care of my needs is somehow not a scam.

If you do end up with “real” money, where’s the scam?

Also, I’m sure you’re super cool with the insane non-renewable energy cost of bitcoin mining and distribution. It far outweighs the energy cost of AI that everyone is complaining about.

Got evidence to support that? Not all cryptocurrencies rely solely on mining.

FYI i’m not defending cryptocurrencies, most do seem scammy, i’m just poking fun at dealing in absolutes and talking out of one’s ass.

When assessing a VPN, using one that’s blocked in China seems to be a safe item to check.
