Have you used Firefox recently? There are a few chrome only sites but I’ve been daily driving it for a few months and it’s mostly upside
I sail the high seas of the Lemmyverse, posting snarky + Lefty comments

I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/
I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.
If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?
ELI5: a database is the “memory” of a program.
Every piece of data that any software uses almost certainly comes from and goes to multiple databases.
Once the data is stored, you can execute “queries” to have powerful access to update many records at a time, read particular records based on their relationship to other records, and so much more.
Your bank balances, your purchase history, your emails, every part of your digital life is almost certainly spread across a constellation of databases.
Bonus Fediverse content:
Lemmy itself uses the Postgres database extensively. Posts, users, comments, votes and more are all individually stored in the database.
Mastodon also uses Postgres. If a post goes up on Lemmy, and a Mastodon server is federated with it, the Lemmy server will send out a HTTP request to the Mastodon server containing the contents of the post. The Mastodon server will use this information to write its own record of the post in its own database.
Regarding your question about VMs: You can run a database inside a VM, or give the VM access to an outside database via queries, or both! You might run SQLlite (a small and excellent embedded database) on the VM to track its local state, while also running queries against a large postgres database to synchronize with other services in the cluster.
“useful and convenient”…
How about deadly, destructive, and isolating?
Or we could just ignore the corrupt alliance of industry colluding to eliminate other transportation options and wax poetic about the Free Market and Rugged Individualism, right?
Fuck cars and fuck Uber but this sounds like a reaction to Lyft being integrated in the (excellent) Transit app
I think blocked by you and deleted from their home instance
I think they are “deleted user” and “blocked user”, respectively
I did a little research and the answer is pretty interesting!
Originally, chemists assigned hydrogen a mass number of 1, and used that assumption to derive the masses of the other elements. Today we definine “1” as being 1/12 of the weight of Carbon-12 (which is very close to the average weight of hydrogen we use today)
As to the relative frequencies, they can be different at different points on earth, this Chemistry SE answer goes into a lot more detail.
If you have never done “stoichiometry” before it may not be obvious but the periodic table average weights are essential for going from “I have x grams of substance” to “I have x number of atoms/molecules of substance” and from there you can use the equation of your target reaction to precisely predict the outcome of a chemical process. If you were doing very high precision chemistry, the differences in isotopic ratio in your sample vs the standard values could introduce an error but I would guess most of the time it is insignificant.
The atomic weight shown in the periodic table is what we measure based on the isotopic frequencies prevalent on earth. Different celestial bodies can (and do!) have different isotopic frequencies based on the conditions of their formation
Who is “we” and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?
Be the poster you want to see in the Lemmy
Well probably because:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Standard Fruit Company
Wait though… this IS the swapping blood guy …
Great Florida mugshot! We’ve got the neck tat, the I-will-eat-you stare, and the Walmart dye job
Damn what a rabbit hole and TIL
Right!? I believe it has the hallmark repetitive blandness indicating AI wrote it (because oroboros)
Total guess but I imagine the increase in relative humidity impacts the combustion efficiency of the engine as well
You are welcome!
Link, good sir?
Fair enough, I capitulated and I use spotify for podcasts now
