Why? The world will just move to a different standard, and although it would hurt rich people it also likely would cause a ton of problems for regular folk too

Hm, the imgur app on Android has never crashed on my devices. Are you on iPhone?

That’s not a source, that’s just you saying a thing

Source?

Before there were sciencey tests for diabetes, doctors would literally taste your urine to see if it tasted sweet

I’m gonna be kind to you even though you’re acting like an asshole. Comparison of bad things between eras is LITERALLY what this whole page topic is about, and it’s also LITERALLY what you did in your original comment that i replied to.

Interesting thought experiment - is a pc exactly as efficient as a resistive space heater? In a pc some tiny amount of electricity is converted to light and sound and kinetic energy instead of heat. But then again, don’t those other forms of energy just eventually just turn back into heat again? Hmmm…

Electric heaters literally cost 25 bucks

I mean as bad as those things were, none of those things come close to recent events. Look at your examples and compare them to “worldwide virus kills millions and the entire planet goes into quarantine for a couple years” or “president of the United States fails to get reelected so he foments a literal coup on the US government and his rioting mob breaks into the capitol building trying to stop the transfer of power. And then 4 years later that criminal gets elected to be president again”.

I only got 3 hours of sleep, someone help me out, what’s the joke here?

poki.com has tons of casual games

The only thing changing here is the way cables are going to be labeled, the tech itself is staying exactly the same.

And on top of that, the author was generally correct for most situations, but usb (and especially usb c) truly has replaced a ton of separate connectors with a single standard. And it’s very likely to continue to replace even more as time goes on

No it wouldn’t. Meta just stopped selling the very expensive Quest Pro because the very affordable Quest 3 moved massively more units. Almost no one wants a VR headset that costs more than a thousand dollars because the 300 buck devices already do almost the exact same things

There are Lemmy communities for “retro gaming” or something like that which he might enjoy

I didn’t retcon anything, I knew it, and I googled it to confirm before i posted. Cameron has said this himself. Mythbusters even tested it and showed that unless they did a trick with the life jacket then they both would’ve drowned if they both tried to stay on the door

The explanation about the door is that it wasn’t about the size, it was about the buoyancy. If they both got on it then they both would’ve sunk

What does “exercising the cake i sell” mean?

Yeah the sticker sentence especially. That’s essentially the same as saying that the kid got the shot. HIPAA doesn’t say “it’s ok to reveal private health information as long as you do it in a wink-wink manner.” Revealing personally identifiable health information is forbidden no matter how you do it.

Mastodon isn’t a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

Because it’s a tiny study (underpowered), with major methodological problems. The study shows essentially nothing, and yet many people in this comments page are acting like it’s now a proven fact that this is a trait of autism. And even the paper itself says this trait isn’t necessarily any more common in autistic people than in the general population.
