Again, I’m just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.
That’s where I disagree, spreading misinformation as scientific fact causes people to lose trust in health authorities, and it fuels things like the anti-vax movement and flat earthers. The ends don’t justify the means.
A lot of that was exaggerated. 7 minutes per puff really doesn’t sound realistic. But since it convinced people to stop smoking I guess everyone agreed it was OK?
7 minutes per puff? Who says that?
I mean, Lemmy is basically an internet addict support group.
YouTube is a decent source of info for some subjects, like vehicle maintenance and 3d printing. Of course it still depends on the channel/creator…
They’re mostly just used for tamper-proof screws for things like bathroom stalls so people can’t take them apart as a “prank” or whatever. The screw driver bits tend to break easily, which is usually worse than the screw stripping.
Nextcloud isn’t SaaS, unless you’re paying someone else to manage your server. Self-hosting is never SaaS.
How much software is standalone these days, though? It seems like most companies are shifting to SaaS.
Yeah, it’s kind of like crowd-funding. The early customers get a great deal, but also have the risk of the company going out of business.
Yep, they’ll probably stop updating the Affinity product and launch a new product line with annual subscriptions. Probably cloud-based.
Looks like it’s last official version was released in 2007. Are you using a version from gimpshop.com with added adware/spyware? The wiki for gimpshop is pretty eye-opening…
I originally created Gimpshop, but I’m not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source. Sorry about that. I hate that this guy is out there making my fun little project into an abomination.
None of my mobile devices are “necessary,” though. Honestly, I could live just fine without an internet connection. Not that I’d enjoy it, but that’s not necessary.
“Necessary” is a little ambiguous. You could argue that wifi is unnecessary for a normal home network.
Here’s my use-case, I’m pretty sure the first 2 are pretty common (common enough to be supported by most OEM firmware):
Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.
And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that’s not important.
I’m pretty sure your saliva helps cool it down a little. And most people salivate when there’s hot food in their mouth.
Of course it burns your mouth, there’s not much you can do about that. But your can at least protect your fingers.
Seems like a good reason not to idolize celebrities.
It’s a lot faster to stick an existing web ui into an electron app than make a true native app.
