There is another aspect to this that we have seen with banks and social media companies: Fines are just a cost of doing business.

What an odd study. Buoyancy is super important to sea otters, of course. One would think exposure to some super toxic hydrocarbons would be more of a concern. It kinda makes buoyancy a minor issue in comparison, on first thought.

I guess the study was pushing for a period of temporary captivity after the animal is cleaned? I am getting the feeling like I missed something big here.

They can do whatever they want on Reddit, TBH. However, pointing Lemmy users to Reddit is a bad move in a number of ways. I won't be touching Reddit for this, as an example.

Using Lemmy as a place to shit out advertising for a site that gives zero fucks about selling data to Google kinda rubs me wrong, especially since this AMA is just thinly veiled marketing.... for a privacy app.

While "having the most reach" is a good argument for a few reasons, it doesn't negate how Lemmy was used in this case.

Edit: Don't let my sentiment get in the way of yours. I have nothing wrong with ProtonMail or what its goals are. However, I will get a little defensive of Lemmy and why many people are here to begin with.

Tell everyone about Lemmy and host an AMA here, maybe? Using Lemmy as a billboard for Reddit is kind of insulting.

The proper metric to plan around is longevity, unless you absolutely need performance now.

Performance and cost should be divided by time. Do you think that bit of hardware will be able to support software for the next two years, or five? That is one way to "compute" value, anyway.

A 4090 will eventually be outdated and unable to run new software, but that may not happen for a good number of years. If you want to get super deep, start crunching the numbers on power costs too. It may simply become too inefficient to run, eventually. (Hell, it's probably super inefficient now, actually.)

I almost always buy top-tier "last-gen" tech, right after "new-gen" is released when I am saving money. When I have the extra cash and it makes sense, top-tier may also be a good investment.

Be honest with yourself and determine what matters most to you and put your money there.

So if I just kick a hole in a wall at a friends house, it's ok to pee into it as well?

HOW IS THIS NEWS?

So you started rubbing yourself down in cationic surfactants until you turned brown and started living in trees?

Quickly reading that as "bat fight" had me quite confused for a second.

Drinking after a hard day always seemed to make the next day harder for me as well. Funny thing is that I still drank every day. Now I don't.

Days can still be hard. Weeks can still be hard. However, I know it will always get better sooner if I don't drink.

I won't drink with you today either, friend.

You can't really burn anything that is classified as a canned meat product. What I see is a decent char and is totally acceptable. Did you "burn" the cheese? That has a fancy name or something, so it must taste good as well.
