Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

I don’t know for sure, I’m not an avid watcher, but I’ve seen several pretty big channels talk about this in their videos and ask people to check their subscription because it does apparently happen.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

I feel it necessary to make an important point here: there is a reason flash is dead. It’s horrible insecure. Fortunately the interest base for this kind of thing is fairly small, because someone with ill intent would not have a hard time providing a malicious swf and gain access to your system.

Now maybe - hopefully - the steam deck makes good use of various sandboxing technologies, but I’d recommend proceeding with care anyway.

…ask Turing? Who suggested that? The Turing test is not “let’s ask Alan” 😋

Delicious 😁

Then it is long obsolete, because to a common observer, something like chatgpt could easily pass that test if it wasn’t instructed to clarify it is a machine at every turn.

Hmm… Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay…

Make it a denial of service attack!

This particular photo is shopped, but i think false-perspective Illusions might actually be a good path…

The Turing test is about whether it passes as human, not whether it is human.

Shouldn’t have not pooped for three days.

That’s a matter of preference - off pizza i prefer green ones!

Also, for this, strangely enough it works better with the sliced ones than the whole ones. They’re a bit saltier. Like me 😋

… who don’t understand that they are foreign in Canada? 🙂

I haven’t opened the link yet, but I’m not sure you want to use the word slash… 😋

Try pepperoni and black olives, that’s also pretty good.

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!

Mostly because this is basically a volunteer project paid for by donations.

I guess god isn’t in a hurry, or he’d send more volunteers.

Dude. I have that exact same book, I think it’s even second edition as well. What kind of a decrepit old fuck are you 😋

Still here, dude. Pleasure to downvote you 😁
