Maybe someone has a more specific explanation, but I could imagine it just being shorthands for certain departments.

Like, imagine a hospital where the third floor is dedicated to, uh, new patients, so you press the NP button.

It took maybe 10 minutes or so for a 256 GB hard drive for me, if I remember correctly.

That was an SSD, though, so yeah, mileage would definitely vary on an HDD.

Hmm, what does that full format do? Write zeros over everything?

Personally, I would run shred on the root filesystem. It's a tool specifically intended for properly deleting data (overwrites it with random data multiple times).

I came into this comment section wanting to make the same argument, but I guess, you could also be carrying around a USB-C-to-audio-jack adapter in addition to your wired headphones...

Just in time as the "but you promised 1.5 degrees" sentence expires...

I thought, this was going to be about D~~oom~~RL, which is a different take on that: https://drl.chaosforge.org/screenshots

This is a bit of me-thing, but yeah, I'm annoyed that YouTube is the way it is. It's non-trivial to embed videos from there without violating the GDPR, so embedded videos are basically not a thing these days on general-purpose social media.

And personally, I also want to avoid the tracking from clicking through to a YouTube video and Google encourages long-ass videos, so I always hesitate before clicking through. Also, people without ad blockers go through a completely different circle of hell before a video starts.

Basically, I miss the days when memes could just be short videos. Where everyone could see on the embed that, oh, it's a 30 second video, I can watch that. And then they'd just click play, without leaving the page.

I do understand that likely no one would care to provide the bandwidth for dumb meme videos on PeerTube either. But yeah, I just dream of that being a thing.

Your question might have been downvoted, because people (including me) read it the wrong way.

I thought, you were saying people shouldn't be proud of being straight edge.

And your reasoning:

I feel like it includes a good amount of intolerance and judgement.

..., I thought, was supposed to say that you think people, who are straight edge, are themselves very intolerant and judgemental.

Words can just be ambiguous, I guess.

Of course, yes. I'm just explaining why there's more political motivation to not be hit by a car than a motorcycle.

They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.

The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I'm saying I still don't think so, because it would be far too petty and I don't see them benefitting that much from it.
