I'd say there is a handful of most active users, and plenty of those who chime in to say something once in a while.

I guess you were downvoted because Recall is a closed-source privacy nightmare, and systemd, for all its flaws, is open source.

Does it relate to your statement? No. But people will take pitchforks if you compare the two, I fancy.

Kinda mad, but this won't make them go on a Kremlin. I don't know what will.

Would still be way way worse if Steam got blocked.

Proud owner of 1TB Samsung 860 Evo.

Pretty much yes, it counts :D

Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.

Why is 3.5" preferable? You can always use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

SSDs can reliably hold charge states for years, and there are storage media that are more reliable than HDD.

HDD's would still find a niche, probably, as a balanced option, but said niche will likely get smaller and smaller over many years.

As the economy grows and progress creates exponentially more wealth, it's only natural that people demand ever higher standards of living. This is good, this is how it should be.

At the same time, generational theory is bullshit. People in each age bracket are very different, and in each of them you can find what you would call more sensitive or more tough people. And it is good, too! Some people are better at promoting change, some people are better at withstanding the status quo. Both are necessary if we want to have constant growth on a strong foundation. Oh, and every generation has stupid freaks. A lot of them, in fact.

LGBTQ+ youth defending Palestine is not about promoting LGBTQ+ rights. It's about fighting for a more fundamental right - right for people to live. No one in their sane mind expects Palestinian Arabs to go under rainbow flags, but it doesn't matter for as long as life for everyone in the region is endangered. The people you call "weak" are protesting in defence of basic human rights - something "strong" people fought hard for - that are undermined in the world of today. They'd rather see a region that is unfriendly to LGBTQ+ than one that is mass grave.

And you're right - famous people shouldn't be our role models! They just often happen to be so as they are in the spotlight. But we should promote other voices - scientists, engineers, economists, we should promote meaningful art, etc. etc. Parents are not always a perfect role model, as they bring with them a load of stereotypes, cognitive distortions, and are commonly conservative in the wide sense of the word, which hinders the development of new ways of thinking. But they too are undoubtedly important.

Sounds so wholesome :)

Seriously though.

Bought an old second-hand Brother printer a while ago and couldn't be happier.

Model is like 10 years old, yet all spare parts and cartridges as well as just toner are readily available and the printer is perfectly fine (damn how precise laser printers are!).

They just make it happen.

Granted. Now everyone rolls back to Tobu - Candyland
