For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.
Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.
Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

Dave@lemmy.nzto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Suggestion: If votes aren't private on Lemmy, own it and show what users up/down voted.English12·1 month agoVote privacy can be tricky in an environment where every vote gets sent to thousands of instances and needs to be verified as legit via the ActivityPub protocol.
Piefed does a good job of this I think. If vote privacy is enabled, they create a second account that is used only for votes. Other instances see the votes and can validate them against the vote account but it’s not tied to the actual user (except in their home server database).
A benefit of this is that the vote account for the user is always the same, so you can still track vote manipulation, and ban the vote account if needed.
Interestingly, I love the Gnome workflow and could never get into KDE. I tried a KDE distro for a while but it was after I’d tried Gnome and it just didn’t click for me.
Many of these things are down to the distro. So which one did you go with?
I didn’t see you mention anywhere what you picked. Seems like Fedora or something Fedora based?
I went M-Disc. Need a special burner and disks cost me $30NZD each or about $18USD for 100GB.
They are write once (I fucked up two early on) but they should last 100+ years. I burnt about 1TB, and made two copies (one for offsite storage). It was not cheap.

But then it’s not a burger, it’s a pile of food presented as a stack.
Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?
I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.
It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.
I can’t see anywhere on the box it claims it’s fun for the entire family. It’s a two person game after all.
Dave@lemmy.nzto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant Says Goodbye to 32-bit and Hacky Install MethodsEnglish94·2 months agoIt says
As these installation methods are used for the development of Home Assistant, it will still be technically possible to update them. We still would recommend migrating to a supported method, but that’s your choice.
And then towards the end:
Will the developer documentation on these things remain?
Yes, those will remain. The developer documentation for running Home Assistant’s Core Python application directly in a Python virtual environment will remain. This is how we develop. This proposal is about removing end-user documentation and support.How I read it is that these methods are actively used for development so will still be maintained and updated, including developer documentation because developers will continue to need to use these methods.
Dave@lemmy.nzto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant Says Goodbye to 32-bit and Hacky Install MethodsEnglish652·2 months agoIf you read the Home Assistant official announcement, it basically says all the different methods were confusing to new people so they will remove them from end user support documentation and won’t take support questions from people using these methods.
However, outside the deprecation of 32bit OSs (which they point out a large portion are on 64bit capable hardware), they are still going to be documenting the other methods in the developer documentation.
I honestly think this is the right move. Their time is being wasted by confusing new users, and supporting 32 bit OSs is literally preventing the development of new functionality. If you want to use a Python environment instead of docker, the developer documentation is there to support advanced users.

I used to work with someone who had a postit in the end of a cardboard tube that said “Leave me alone”. They would stand it up on their desk when they needed to focus.
From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.
