Can’t you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

no headphone jack means you may need to purchase wireless headphones or earbuds and wireless earbuds don’t always have replaceable batteries

They’re also more expensive, even if fairphone does offer their own headphones.

A cheap set of decent wired earphones is $10. $30 if you want something nice, like an IEM.

Bluetooth headphones don’t tend to be quite as cheap, and are usually a good deal more.

That sounds like a horrid decision. Imagine having to troubleshoot a relative’s computer, which isn’t working because their internet is down, or is too slow to support streaming Windows like that.

It just sounds like a nightmare all-round, both from a Microsoft Standpoint, since they would have to build all the hardware to support it, people who would have to troubleshoot an issue that might show up on either the local or networked version of Windows, but not both, and from a security standpoint, since it seems like it would make it a lot easier to just hijack the whole computer using that kind of mechanism, with the user being none the wiser, for the most part.

It’s also accessible with <WinKey> + ;. Not quite sure why Windows has multiple shortcuts for the same menu, but there we are.

Unless it’s using the Registry for some config values.

There’s also no centralised Lemmy site/index yet that centralises that information.

That’s fine and all if you’re looking for content on somewhere like lemmy.ml, or lemmy.world, but you might run into problems if you’re trying to search for something that might be located on beehaw, or sh.it.just.works instead, which doesn’t have the word “lemmy”, and might get skipped.

You also have places like Kbin, which don’t get captured in a search at all, both because they’re not lemmy, and also because they don’t contain the word lemmy, which doesn’t help if you’re trying to search something that you thought was on Lemmy, but is in fact on a Kbin magazine.

He thinks we are. I never thought about it before. Maybe in the case of some Reddit subreddits and other forums, but I don’t think so in general. I’ve got a lot great information from forums.

I agree that we’re not past the days of forums. Part of what made forums and Reddit great was that you knew that you were interacting with multiple people, and that a lot of information was filtered through some form of consensus. If the advice given was wrong, you usually had additional replies saying it was incorrect, and pointing out what was wrong, or the OP adding more information if asked/incorrect.

You can’t really do that as easily with blogs and things, both because it’s usually written by one person with presumably little verification (who may have unclear credentials if you’re not familiar with them, or that area of work), even before the rise of AI and auto-generated SEO blogs which say nothing useful with a lot of words.

From a usability standpoint, there is also something nice about a forum, since they’re usually not that terribly infested with ads, or things like algorithms designed to push content and keep people on the platform. You can just come and go as you please, although necroposting is usually frowned upon. At most, you might have some sorting that keeps the posts in chronological/activity order, but that’s about it.

Spez is going to get what he wants either way, really. He just wants third-party app activity gone from Reddit, and Apollo moving over to ActivtyPub is just more of the same, even if the app itself is around.

Personally, I think that dropping Apollo might make more sense. It was designed as a Reddit Reader, so instead of cramming new app functionality into it, it would make sense to just split it off into its own app.

A lot of ActivityPub/Lemmy/Kbin features are natively supported, so he wouldn’t need to keep paying for things like Imgur API access, unlike with Reddit where third-party image hosting is the only way to do image hosting, without using the official app.

Plus, after the recent shenanigans from everything, he probably deserves a break, for a while, at least.

If it wasn’t for the amount being much higher than most other companies charge, and what it costs Reddit itself to do the same, and a 30-day timeframe with which to get around those changes on top of it, I think that they would have been much better received. The third-party app developers didn’t any problems with paying for things like Imgur APIs, and would have happily paid up for Reddit’s, if they had the time to implement it, and didn’t have to deal with the exorbitant cost.

However, I do think that Spez made things much, much worse. If Reddit didn’t make a discussion, and just put out the announcement, people would have shrugged, and moved on. His AMA, and everything else after was just throwing fuel onto the fire, which was further boosted by Reddit admins suddenly wading into the fray, something that they had not done previously, even rom the perspective of moderator tyranny. The previous response tended to always be “we’re sorry to hear that, but you can just go and create your own community if you have an issue with them”, unless the problem was bad enough it got press attention.

Although I’m curious about how they might address the “clickbait” issue of people having a massively upvoted/boosted post, and then changing the post to say something else entirely.

That seems like it might be a problem if people are allowed to edit titles.

At the same time, it might not fit them. Lemmy is a link aggregator, which seems like extra functionality that they don’t really need, not when existing forum software will do what they need, while also being more stable/mature.

Lemmy is pretty immature, and probably doesn’t suit their needs compared to a forum.

They don’t really need a link aggregator, so using Lemmy there wouldn’t really make much sense.

The only thing that they might use Lemmy for is the community, but otherwise, it’s not a great fit for what they need.

It’s a lottery. Some are smart and regal, while others are goofs.

There are certain devices that do do that, but it’s not a defibrillator. A defibrillator will stop/prevent an arrhythmia by stopping the heart, and letting it restart on its own (hoping that it goes to a normal rhythm), and delivering further shocks if it gets back into one.

The device you’re looking for to help a heart beat again would be a pacer, or a pacemaker, which will shock the heart to force it to pump, and restore rhythm that way. They’re commonly used for conditions like heart failure, if the heartbeat generation systems/internal pacemaker can’t generate a heartbeat quickly enough to sustain life.

It might also cause some interesting problems.

What happens if a sub votes out all the moderators of a sub, before there are any new ones?

Could they remove Reddit devs from /r/Reddit or /r/Reddit.com? Being admins, they could probably just put themselves back on, but the imagery of them being forced off their own sub is a little funny.
