CPU will draw a lot of energy just sitting idle, so if you don’t have something solid to throw at it, just leave it.

Where did you get that idea from? i7-6700k can idle at lower than 4W

Brb, I must warn my ancestors of 1789 that they should have overthrown the monarchy by discussing politely rather than by cutting off the king’s head and fighting his henchmen

Don’t bother, he’s a pro-china anti-western shill, his comment history is a mess

Storing so many videos has a financial and ecological cost. When you reach thousands of hours of videos, it’s time to ask yourself if it’s really useful to keep them all.

Most instances will stop allowing new accounts to be created when it reaches a certain size that gets difficult to manage (hardware and moderating-wise). They self-regulate that way, and instances that get out of control will just be defederated by the others.

I liked the thought that if I were to lose my phone while traveling, I could just borrow a computer and access all my accounts anyway and not getting very uncomfortably stuck. This is putting me at big risk there.

ZFS Raid Expansion has been released days ago in OpenZFS 2.3.0 : https://www.cyberciti.biz/linux-news/zfs-raidz-expansion-finally-here-in-version-2-3-0/

It might help you with deciding how much storage you want

They don’t

That’s not brain drain. Brain drain is when high qualified people leave their country, mostly because of the lack of infrastructures costing them opportunities for studying or working in their respective field.

What you’re talking about is capital flight. This is an issue that is systematically raised as a counter-argument by liberals in debates on taxation. The problem is that it is seriously overestimated:

• Leaving a country is a lot more complicated than it sounds: you lose your family, your friends, your culture, your habits. Many millionaires who leave their country end up coming back after a few years.
• You can’t relocate your real estate investments.
• Going abroad doesn’t exempt you from paying taxes (especially exit taxes).
• A country that wishes to do so can prohibit the relocation of a profitable company, or even nationalize it.
• Many rich people who threaten to leave if taxes are raised end up doing the math: if there’s a profitable business, they’ll stay. And in a country that finances its infrastructure soundly and has a good distribution of wealth, there’s profitable business to be had.

While true, how is that any different to the arguments that were used for TV?

Television is bad because it is a passive activity, but it is less harmful than the continuous ingestion of micro-videos. But I don’t see what it has to do here.

Additionally, Lemmy is a social network in the same way that Reddit is. Is this not also dangerous?

What’s the connection? I didn’t mention Reddit.

As has been the recommendation for practically everything for the four decades I’ve been on this earth, moderation is key. Instead of hating new media, either regulate it (if the evidence is truly that great) or treat it with healthy moderation.

This would be to ignore the particularly addictive nature of this kind of content. It would be like comparing apples to Snickers: both are sweet, yes, but one is much more problematic.

Let’s be blunt here. Most of the people in this thread aren’t worried about health

That could be a point, but I’m pretty sure that if you ask anybody, the main reason given would be that it makes you stupid. But I can agree that this opinion would not necessarily be based on anything other than the eternal contempt for novelty as video games or manga were, for example, before they became popular.

ITT: People in their mid-twenties or later, who feel superior to those that like one form of media over their preferred media.

You’re just waving away an important fact, which is that shorts and their equivalents are notoriously known for killing attention spans and disrupting the management of dopamine in the brain, causing depression in particular.

We are no longer simply in the traditional custom of the elderly who despise the activities of the younger generations, we are talking about health.

Hexgears and of course lemmygrad.ml are of the same kind

Finnish children cycle to school

I don’t know if that’s what you meant, but you can block JavaScript per-site, block first or third-party scripts separately, etc

“Charcuterie is dead” posts a picture with a box containing at least 3 sorts of charcuterie

I’m curious, what is missing from Firefox compared to Vivaldi according to you?

It’s so out of context it’s almost untrue.

Bitwarden can’t find or change your password, and their admins absolutely can’t see them either.

You’re talking about the “admin password reset” feature offered to organizations (and which doesn’t concern lambdas users at all), which must be explicitly activated and which allows admins not to see our password, but to trigger a password reset with notification to the user.

Once the password has been reset, all you have to do is change it, and nobody else has access to it.
