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

This is how we convince them to use the metric system

If you include the worm inside his brain, the net length is probably 7 cm

Thank you for this. Sucks the local chapters are primarily organized on discord. Seems pretty risky that they could all be shut down in one fell swoop.

This was United, wasn’t it?

Last picture should be Helen Keller with no wires

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

It’s fantastic

As seen in the show Common Side Effects

Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??

For broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.

With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.

It’s always Fortinet

They fall back to the Purcell principle when it’s convenient and didn’t get involved in Texas redistricting a full year before the next election, but when California does the same thing (via the legal avenues) all of a sudden it’s not too close to an election and they’ll likely mess with California’s redistricting. I despise the corruption of the court, but they could at least have the decency of keeping the corruption consistent.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

He’s the exception that goes against the saying “The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.”

I don’t see this post in [email protected] at all, even when checking on lemmy.world directly. I don’t think this is a federation issue.
