They’re going off supposed net worth before donating, so it’s 68.3 / (146+68.3) = 31.87%

Turns out organisms are mostly made up of elements that are very common in the environment, which makes sense if you think about it.

Felt kinda sad about it, but I feel sad most days so it’s not really any different. Hung out with a friend which was nice.

I remember doing that as a kid, the wax makes fine candles.

The copyright doesn’t apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they’re within their legal rights to.

0/10, terrible cable management.

Your own email domain + an account at a privacy respecting email service is more than worth it. Avoids the privacy nightmare that is using Google/Microsoft for your email, and gives you the flexibility to change email providers on a whim if your current one starts doing anything you don’t like.

Online backups should be an absolute last resort in the case of something catastrophic like a house fire, not your only copy of important data. Losing them should just mean a little less redundancy in that regard.

It was never a free feature; they used to only allow up to 2X speed. Not that that justifies it at all of course.

Did you need to use the Google slop machine to tell you that?

Not really, but dying in a car crash sounds like an awful way to go.

I guess it makes it easier to find/verify the owner if they lose it? (Though there are better ways to do that). Still feels weird.

Sort your data into stuff you absolutely need to keep (personal files and such) and stuff you’d be okay with losing (less important files, device backups, downloads you can redownload, etc). Then only back up the former. As for backup medium, ServerPartDeals often has some pretty good deals on storage; they were selling refurbished 12TB drives for $80 a pop a while back.

Most people aren’t choosing to enable OneDrive; it’s enabled by default, and not obvious how to disable.

Neptune looking real blue there as well.

Some of these hardly qualify as fireworks; they look more like straight up bombs.

Seems like one of the PieFed devs has some opinions about the kind of content they dislike, and are unilaterally forcing that on every PieFed instance. I can somewhat understand filtering out curse words, but specific communities should not blocked by default, and definitely not hidden in a hardcoded list in the source code.

Edit: Important context here: https://lemmy.world/comment/21323475 Seems this blocklist is more limited in scope; it’s not blocking federation entirely, just blocking (from what I can tell) their appearance in search and automatically federating with them when adding an instance. Still problematic to exclude specific communities in a non-configurable way with little justification IMO.
