I would hope that in 25-50 years from now, gendered locker rooms and bathrooms will be a thing of the past, and slowly replaced with individual unisex stalls. Maybe for high volume places (like a stadium or airport) there will still be bathrooms with a wall of urinals, but those will probably not be labeled “men’s” and will just be urinals.

This may be unpopular to some, but I think there should be more interoperability between Lemmy and Mastadon. I know from Mastadon you can @mention Lemmy communities, but most users don’t know about that. Maybe depending on the privacy settings of a Mastadon post, if that could be “forwarded” to a Lemmy community as a post, and it would be useful for many who follow a community in Lemmy but not the author or hashtag in Mastadon. It’d also be nice to be able to follow people who use Mastadon and have that show up in your feed on Lemmy.

I hate LinkedIn, but having a way to keep in contact with former co-workers is good from a networking perspective for finding a new job. Someone I hadn’t talked to in 10 years reached out with a position they were hiring for, and that’s not something I would have been looking for or known about.

The useful parts of LinkedIn are managing business acquaintances, and it’d be cool if there were a decentralized privacy preserving way to be able to maintain that contact list of people, without it being used to harvest data for some data broker somewhere.

This isn’t scientific, but was recently listening to a podcast where they interviewed someone (18 minutes in) who does laundry for the Nets basketball team, and he said that the dryer basically bakes in any sweat or blood or stains which don’t get washed off before. I’m not sure how this affects longevity of the fabric, but from a usability standpoint, if your clothes are permanently stained, you probably will stop wearing them.

If they tossed the case that Mark Kelly brought, wouldn’t that mean they’re affirming the pentagon’s position in the case? Seems to me the only way for the pentagon to be overruled is for this to be heard.

Also this post is 100% clickbait and doesn’t match the title of the Polygon article. If you know who Alex Garland is, you for sure have seen Ex Machina. I was excited because I thought there was a new movie released I was unaware of.

Sounds like a great way to get fired from a job. Mirror as much as you can from him while he still has it up, but also probably limit it so that the bandwidth doesn’t raise any alarms.

With P2P file sharing, your client is sharing the files with random people on the internet and you’re identified by your IP address (or a VPN IP address / seedbox IP address / etc). MPAA hires companies to check for popular content and log the IP address, time, and content shared, and then sends that to the ISP. The risk and issue is sharing content with anyone randomly, since that is how your ISP is informed of the activity.

With media servers, unless you’re somehow sharing publicly, it’s safe to assume your members aren’t going to report you to your ISP. I guess in theory the ISP could see high upload bandwidth and investigate, but more likely than not, if there are limits, automated systems will just throttle the bandwidth, and no deep packet inspection or other forensics is performed.

Good on you, but I would never pirate Ready Player One, let alone pay $0.50 for it.

if you download a file (not via BitTorrent), your downloaded file will have the same hash as the person who shared it with you, but that doesn’t mean you were the sender.

Check if they’re on ICE List and if not, get proof and if they are ICE, get them on here.

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

it was sold to a swedish company that plans to develop/support it further. Hopefully they do it well.

Narrator: They aren’t

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

Maybe they have a fancy bidet with a blower? Or they horded toilet paper during COVID and are working through the surplus? You do pretty much have to dry somehow, but the amount of TP needed to dry a wet asshole is significantly less than cleaning a shitty asshole.

I heard an anecdote that one of the reasons older structures last longer than newer buildings was until the days of using Log Tables, engineers had to round up to the nearest values to match the values in the log table when calculating complex forces, and this rounding compounded when multiplied against other rounded values. Once computers were being used with design, you could calculate the forces exactly to minimize material costs.

It depends if you’re popular or not. People might copy your style and purchase the fast fashion directly because of you, even if you got it second hand. Say for example you’re Taylor Swift, and you literally steal the fast fashion cloths directly from the factory to wear in public. You are still indirectly financially enabling child labor and probably boosting the business.

These are the same people who were simultaneously protesting “Stop the count” and “count the votes” on election day in 2020.

Will they report box office numbers individually?
