I can’t seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?

Not if they are regulated to put an “In Full or in Part AI Generated” label on it.

I think we’re there. The future is today.

Bingo. This is exactly the issue for me. The militant and intolerant attitudes and name calling. It’s deeply disappointing.

And this is exactly what s/he’s talking about. The whole name calling thing if someone has a differing viewpoint. It’s militant and intolerant. I’m just so sick of this kind of attitude here, I’m close to ditching Lemmy because of it.

All vegetation is now edible and extremely healthy.

Oh okay. I didn’t realize that. Wow.

6 million dollars apiece is cheap?

This is exactly right. Divergence was small when sizes were small. Good point.

I wasn’t talking about HDD sizes, but I know the person to which I was replying was talking about HDD’s specifically. I shou,d have clarified I was talking in more general terms (CPU RAM, NVM sizes, etc.)

I remember being miffed about the advertising of the HDD sizes. So I think you are correct there. Wish I could go back to the mid 80’s and do some research on my old HDDs and floppies. I honestly just can’t remember, so thank you.

I hate the new prefixes, not just because they aren’t the older nomenclature, but because they feel ridiculous to speak out loud. If a less silly sounding prefix was chosen, I probably wouldn’t be tainted about it.

I agree with you. A long time ago, those of us “in the know” techies could parse the difference like it was a native language. When talking anything but computers, it was always the SI of 1000. When talking about computers, it was always 1024.

I think the masses were confused and the SI purists felt their SI prefixes were being corrupted. So they made a distinction/standard between binary numbering system prefixes and decimal numbering system prefixes.

I hate it. Feels wrong because I’m old and set in my ways. People like me are confused because we still use the old nomenclature, and when someone else uses the old nomenclature (when talking about computers), it’s ambiguous to us because we don’t know which numbering system they are using (e.g., binary as opposed to decimal). I still have to ask and half say binary and half say decimal.

I suppose if they’re teaching it in high school and college it’ll become native soon enough, if it hasn’t already with the next generations.

Most annoying for me is calling for or defederating from instances which have diverse points of view. This is inclusivity hypocrisy. Ignore or block what you don’t want to hear. Don’t speak for me. You may have supporters that think the way you do, but there are multitudes who think differently. It’s the antithesis of equity to silence different opinions, no matter how offensive they are to you and/or to those who think like you. Simply block them so you do not have to endure differing, offensive speech [even if you consider it “hate” speech]. What I hate, others may adore. So just block it.

As some said on Slashdot: ART is Asshole Research Transport.

If you read the book(s), you’ll get the reference.

I think some news companies are trying to sue him for linking to articles without paying them, which is a strange turn of events given it wasn’t too long ago that businesses would paid you to link to their site (that’s what Elon says anyway; I’m not in web commerce so I don’t know personally how it works.) So, I guess he wants to have people write the news on his site instead?

I think news companies are going bust?

Pray for one more second of ecstatic comfort and numbness to the world. Contemplate why the world is the way it is. It’s not right.

No, this is real. An iPhone to kids is like a social status symbol and potential family wealth indicator. Of course it’s absolute bull, but just as adults are, kids are horribly manipulated by marketing and advertising too. Kids have glommed onto phones for conspicuous consumption whereas adults glom onto cars and houses for said signals.

Of course not all adults or kids do this, but a great deal do. That’s where the stupid bumper sticker comes from that says, “He who has the most toys at the end wins!” Very ugly stuff, in my opinion. And if there is a devil, that’s where it lives mostly.

Agreed about INI for simple stuff. Not good for arrays and nested things though. Usually use binary for that type of config (with clear documentation). Most binary config files I use are plain old C structures. I’m not a web person so no need to make the config plain text.

Do you? I’ve tried. Not fun. I use vim everyday on my workstation. On Android tiny keyboard, hard pass.
