And a little bit of Al and Mg as well. All of those metals that could have been in your bottle or shower are now suck in the pipe walls. You’re really missing out.

Those particles are exactly the kind of exception I was looking for. Tiny things that last a long time. The opposite kind of exceptions are probably impossible since making large things takes a lot of time. You would need to have something the size of a galaxy that lasts from Monday evening to Thursday morning.

Funnily enough, there was a user on Lemmy who literally did that. Every post contained a signature like that. Haven’t seen that line in a while though. I guess they just gave up or stopped posting on Lemmy.

Is this a social experiment? If you ask a question like that, people start seeing all sorts of things that they would have missed otherwise.

DNT doesn’t really work. That’s why Firefox removed that feature.

If your processes require RAM, it’s fine to use it. Windows obviously has many processes like that and reserves lots of RAM.

A Linux system can also have RAM-heavy processes if you choose to install and run them. In that case, a high RAM usage indicates that these processes are functioning correctly. Conversely, very low RAM usage suggests that the system is running as intended, assuming you haven’t installed unnecessary applications.

While RAM usage numbers can tell you something about installed and running processes, they don’t necessarily tell much about system performance. High or low values alone don’t definitively tell you whether the system is running well or poorly.

Life is complicated, so summarising such things into a single number or a sentence comes with compromises. People just love to generalise and categorise things, no matter how feasible that really is. These summaries just scratch a very specific itch people seem to have.

I’m surprised how many people use subscribed+scaled. I’ve been doing that as soon as the scaled feature was added.

It’s definitely a volume thing. With niche interest, you’ll bump into this limitation quite frequently.

Remember when people were talking about smart watches listening to you all the time? Nobody worries about that anymore. Instead, pretty much everyone wears a smart watch of some sort. My guess is, the same will happen with smart glasses eventually.

It’s all bad. Really bad. Oh, and most people don’t even have AC, so it’s off the scale kind of bad for them. This is the kind of weather when elderly people die and everyone else just suffers.

On top of that, there are systemic problems that allow the situation to escalate out of control. Why should I do this expensive thing while everyone else gets the cheap option? This sort of thinking applies to governments, companies and individuals alike. Nobody wants to contribute to fixing the problem, because it’s expensive.

If I recall correctly, all of these convoluted units still trace back to the Roman Empire. Sure, the UK didn’t get it directly from Rome, but the connection is still there. The Romans invented this mess, and other countries just inherited it.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Or maybe Suraj is working for an AI company? It’s not immediately apparent.

I wonder if Roman currency and units of measurement were intentionally so bad. For a very long time, UK had a similarity complicated system, and switching to decimal money was pretty radical.

Because Lemmy.

This is the corner of the internet where you’ll find people who hate AI with a burning passion. Apparently, some of them were scrolling local or all, and stumbled upon your post. Some people just downvote without even checking which community the post is in.

Who needs a space elevator when you might as well use the same tech to beat bridge records.

Just build the bridge on the moon instead. The lower gravity really helps with the main span.
