Yes. There are innumerable topics and interests that don’t have a robust presence on Lemmy yet because the platform is just too small and niche. Lemmy is great for tech and tech-adjacent stuff but I still wander back to Reddit from time to time for sports, for instance.

So far these issues only apply to these specific SSDs ... fingers crossed it stays that way, because like you I've got a number of WD HDDs in my life.
You do know that Biden didn't personally draft this himself, right?
It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That's how the executive branch works.
I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?
The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.
The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.
Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.
And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.
The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.
For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.
Looking at the Patreon and LiberaPay linked on the join-lemmy page it's >$600 a week. Still not a lot.
Depending on what sorts of stuff you're into there are situations where you can go over six without it being absurd. Like:
- Everyday walkaround shoes
- Running shoes
- Hiking boots
- Black dress shoes
- Other color dress shoes
- Sandals of some kind
That's already six pairs without even getting into other things that one may need like rain boots, snow boots, cleats, nonslips for work, etc.
Apparently I own 13 pairs of shoes. Damn.
I used to be way more consumer-y and I've been slowly reforming my ways. Case in point, two of those pairs are old running shoes repurposed into general beaters, and 10 of them were purchased 5+ years ago.
I've shifted to buying a lot of things used but I still can't wrap my head around buying used clothing most of the time. There is an overwhelming selection of choices, and even if I sift through all of that to find the sort of stuff I need chances are it isn't going to fit well.
Poshmark helps for some things, but only if it's like a discrete, easily categorized item that I can clearly for (like a specific brand of hat, or a specific line of pants from a specific brand that I already know fit). I'm appreciative of brands that have started carrying their own used clothing sections - even though it's usually more expensive it's so much easier to wrap my head around.
Contrast that with things like electronics or household items which I go used for all day every day. I needed a rice cooker, bought a used Zojirushi off a local guy within a week, easy as pie.
I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.
Block out the sun, Mr. Burns style.
As a lurker who doesn't post much:
Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.
Genuine question: Are there any countries that aren’t segregated by income? Because I think that’s been true of everywhere I’ve ever been.
OSM is a lot dodgier in the US - and it doesn't have live traffic, which is crucial in some cities.
There are mountains of software and hardware that aren’t compatible with Linux.
And when it’s mission critical or work related stuff you can’t afford to mess around with translation layers or virtualization.
The bloatware sucks but it takes <30 minutes after install to remove / disable all of it.
It wasn’t until right now, reading your post, that I recognized the joke in Abis Mal’s name.
Damn 🫠
Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.
Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.
I can see the insanity on both sides.
But being able to see both sides doesn't mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They're not.
You can fix this with StartAllBack:
We should do whatever we can to keep people off of the tracks in the future. But that’s not mutually exclusive with pulling the lever right now, since the trolley is already heading towards people.
It’s a brilliant ironic send-up of the need for a sequel for the first 30 minutes … and then it descends into unironically just continuing the story of Reloaded & Revolutions, but with bad action scenes this time.
Maybe I’m just lucky, but I have not experienced Windows 10 or 11 getting slower with time at all.

I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.
Cheekiness aside, there are plenty of people with tons of tech expertise working in the federal apparatus. Let's hope they're put on this project.
Netanyahu won't agree to a permanent ceasefire. The hope seems to be to get any sort of long pause then push to extend and extend it so it is de facto permanent (and hope Netanyahu gets kicked out of power somewhere in there).
Welcome to politics.
Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.
Honestly the biggest long term threat to Lemmy is its technology not being able to keep up with its own success. Issues like bad moderation tools, spam, and fractured communities need to be addressed within the software platform itself.
