This logic is not sound. Why couldn't be the case that only one religion is right?

Three people looking at a triangle might have different opinions about what shape it is. It is inconceivable that they are all right, but that does not imply that they are all wrong.

Maybe search for this on kaggle? Or scrape Wikipedia?

Bees, wasps, ok, got it.

But mosquitoes? I'be yet to find a biologist that would advocate for preservation of mosquitos. Kill them with fire.

This is all hard to do because it is hard to determine people's race on lemmy. Some usernames give it away but most don't. And I don't go snooping trough their post history to find that out.

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

What i don't understand is how fuel efficiency does not seem to be a concern of an average buyer? It is a large factor for me, and I'm proud to have highly efficient car for its class. Are those large trucks somehow more efficient than older, smaller models? Or are average buyers just not concerned with efficiency?

Well not everyone has seen the light of factorio, so i might be over-fixating on efficiency.

What's DRM in this context? Surely linux kernel doesn't do digital rights management?

Oh it would not be Polexit. There are way better names available than that. Polout, for example.

If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

Please, dont joke with things like this. Someone might take you seriously...

And overwhelmed by the number of people willing to discuss nuaced socio-political problems of states and governments.

Maybe we should start submitting DMCA takedown requests for Google Chrome because it contains that filthy PirateBay and Library Genesis. Such apps should be illegal.

This is the way.

Almost completely pure way of storing ideas. With this I mean that you don't store unnecessary data such as "background should be white" or "left page margin is 1.3cm". It's just text. What's important is what it says + minimal markup.

Presentation is left to the reader's client. Do you want dark mode? Get a markdown editor/reader that supports it. Do you want serif font? Again, that's client's choice and not part of the document.

I wish browsers would support markdown out of the box, so you could open https://example.com/some-post.md
