Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

Aah, gotcha. I had thought that

Probably less these days

was in reference to this part at the end of the parent comment:

cars generally float around the 32 psi area

and I haven’t seen anything to contradict all the previous literature on under-inflated automobile tires being worse for fuel economy.

Which type of performance? Surely not fuel economy/emissions?

Ummm

Tell me you’ve never compiled software from open source without saying you’ve never compiled software from open source.

The only differences between open source and freeware are pedantic, right guys?

Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here’s an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you’d want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you’re considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

I’d like to think there is a universe where Nintendo and other companies recognize the value that these add to their brands and proactively issue free licenses to use the IP as a component of how they maintain and enforce rights.

But what about all the real valuable assets these companies would have these days? Like the multitude of 5 year old PCs, 1990s era Hermann-Miller office furniture, the buildings and land they lease… /s

Because it’s tldr: did the article say why muskrat would be subject to brazilian laws?

Sure, committing to a deadline is reasonable if you are included in the decision calculus of scope vs time. Part of that should be to include space for learning as needed to understand anything you’d copy.

Omitting that is a recipe for low quality garbage and not only will the code suffer, but the organization also will while all the staff fall behind any competitors who make the investment.

Which comment in the issue thread leads you to believe that?

The developer’s closing comment is that it wouldn’t be worth it to implement that feature in Lemmy.

One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.

If the restaurant doesn’t have a good enough reputation that I couldn’t trust the QR they provided (which displays the URL so I can inspect it before launching the web browser), I also wouldn’t want to trust my health to eating there.

It isn’t like some random thing you found on the sidewalk.

Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs.

It’s not that simple.

Their instance will be sent the data only if the post originates on an instance/community that is still federated with their instance. If a new post or comment is made in a community who’s instance isn’t federated with their instance, it will not be sent via ActivityPub. A more detailed explanation of how that works is in this post.

Yeah, that dude’s take reads just like climate science denial and flat earth conspiracies.

Oh, I obviously interpreted that as meaning a hard disk drive (which SSDs are still commonly referred to as HDDs) since we were discussing modern PCs. Many years ago external physical file transfer mostly transitied away from using actual spinning disks to USB storage, and even that has been mostly supplanted by network connected storage for several years.

it doesn’t have a disc drive

False. Only the least expensive model has eMMC for the built-in storage. The other models have replaceable (upgradable) NVMe SSDs.
