Lemmy wins over Reddit because titles are updatable! Haha

Texas power plants have no responsibility to provide electricity in emergencies, judges rule (www.kut.org)

Almost three years since the deadly Texas blackout of 2021, a panel of judges from the First Court of Appeals in Houston has ruled that big power companies cannot be held liable for failure to provide electricity during the crisis. The reason is Texas’ deregulated energy market....

A government providing services is not communism, it’s a first-world standard.

otp ,

I’m sorry. I had someone argue something very similar to me. And since it was someone I knew IRL, I knew they were 100% serious…

otp ,

Not sure what it’s like in the UK, but some countries block all porn websites. To all ages.

otp ,

Or, people will get more technologically savvy on average as they try to find their way to easy porn!

Porn always wins.

Were* those literally criteria that were used?

otp ,

That’s bonkers. I’m sorry you had to endure that.

otp ,

Noob question: if HTTPS works and you use HTTPS, what’s the risk?

otp ,

That makes sense. Thank you!

otp ,

I’m not sure what a nerp is, but they’re not advocating for anyone to remove any bones. It’s not a big deal.

otp ,

No, Russia should

otp ,

Some rice cookers have a “keep warm” option, which might be what they’re using

otp ,

Why wouldn’t 100° be food safe? Is it because that would only kill stuff in water when it boils, but solids won’t boil?

otp ,

I think you need to read the comment you replied to. It seems like you commented before reading anything past the first sentence.

otp ,

Look, I agree, but the comment that they replied to explained that…

Students and Educators in Idaho Show Us What It’s Like When a State Fails to Fund School Repairs (www.propublica.org)

No other state spends less on school infrastructure per student than Idaho. As a result, many students, especially those in rural districts, deal with leaking ceilings, freezing classrooms and discolored drinking water. Some students have to miss school when the power or heat goes out....

What the fuck

What happened to your title? Part of it fell into your post

Why?

That’s when you offer consulting and tell them your hourly rate!

Actually, it’s a best practice to not reuse passwords, so any site would block you from reusing one! You’re fine.

'Damaging': Saskatchewan high school rejects author's talk on son coming out as gay (www.brandonsun.com)

“I got this email back, and it said, ‘As you’re probably aware, there’s been a lot going on in Saskatchewan over the past few months and we’ve been waiting for a directive,‘” Remenda Swanson told The Canadian Press in an interview this week. She graduated from the high school in 1972 and now lives in Edmonton....

Jesus. It’s terrible to see, time and time again, the not-withstanding clause being abused like this.

What is the best way to safely and completely erase all data from old laptops?

I have a couple of old laptops lying around and want to throw them away, but have been cautious to do so because of privacy concerns of data still on the hard drives. What is the best way to wipe them? Or should I take them out and physically destroy them?...

otp ,

Even writing 0’s takes hours per TB sometimes. Guess it depends on how much time you have

otp ,

Children can get messed up a lot more easily than adults can, since children are going through rapid development.

After about 25, there’s almost no real development aside from things like learning and exercise, so there’s less that can go wrong if adults eat certain contaminants.

There are a lot of unpleasant contaminants whose legal limit is not 0…

,>make anyone making any sense look like a conspiracy nut.

You’re telling on yourself here that you think conspiracy nuts make sense.

otp ,

Isn’t this already how medication works anyway?

otp ,

Yeah, I figured something like this would be in WorldNews instead because it’s relevant only to people in a certain part of the world.

Nonetheless, I found it interesting

otp ,

I had a ton of karma by just saying stuff. I never even tried having popular opinions or baiting for upvotes.

otp ,

So that doesn’t take away at all from the fact that 3rd party frontends for reddit exist.

I think you’re just being needlessly pedantic here

otp ,

I’m so glad to see this comment upvoted here

otp ,

Experience is often good to have.

otp ,

15 hours…sleep for 8 hours, and you have 1 waking hour where YouTube isn’t playing.

I guess old people are/were like this with TV and/or radio, though, so it’s nothing new.

otp ,

Playing modern games as soon as they come out is privileged too.

otp ,

I think you’re a bit mixed up about culture, geography, and biology. It seems like you’re arguing against claims that you don’t quite understand, yet haven’t laid out for commenters to help with.

otp ,

There’s no such thing as not having a culture, nor such a thing as being “culturally neutral”.

Canada's surging cost of living fuels reverse immigration (www.reuters.com)

The dream of making it big in Canada is turning into a battle for survival for many immigrants due to the high cost of living and rental shortages, as rising emigration numbers hints to newcomers being forced to turn their back on a country that they chose to make their adopted home....

otp ,

I thought that too, but emigration would probably be Canadians leaving. Reverse immigration would probably be immigrants leaving.

…or Canadians emigrating to the places that immigrants to Canada normally come from? Lol

otp ,

What does it mean if it happens regularly?

otp ,

Thanks. I often open my windows when I can, but I’ve been getting really dry skin since I’ve started opening them. Which made me think I need a humidifier…

My home’s air seems to fluctuate between way too dry and way too humid, and I don’t know how or why or what to do to fix it, lol

And tinned. Perhaps in oil. Also for, uh, lab analysis.

“Mom, can we have a religion of peace?”

No! We already have a religion of peace at home.

The religion of peace…

I should’ve expected piracy, but my first thought was giveaways, lmao

But I like Googling myself

Holy crap. That’s a huge milestone!

I remember when PS1 emulation was still spotty…

otp ,

I hadn’t had a capable enough machine to do PS2 emulation smoothly until I also didn’t have enough time to spend time playing them, lol

I’ve fixed the computer issue, and I’ll be fixing the time issue soon! Lol

otp ,

The tax isn’t supposed to punish the manufacturers, it’s supposed to disincentivize the people partaking in the vice by causing prices to go up.

Raising prices may reduce intake, or optimistically go towards offsetting healthcare costs incurred by people indulging.

otp ,

And I just realized how abusable that is. I’m going shopping tomorrow!

Oh what’s the 4011 thing? Doesn’t ring a bell.

4011 is bananas, which are one of the cheapest things by weight
