What advantage would federation bring to a database? Federation is a cool concept, but it doesn't belong everywhere.

Y-level. Before 1.18 the top layer containing bedrock (ETA: in the overworld) was y=4.

I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don't want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

I didn't even realize they were called "mini"blinds until I moved in to my current place and there was some kind of rule that mentioned them. I'd only heard them referred to as "blinds" my entire life up to that point. This implies the existence of larger blinds ~~which I've yet to see~~.

Edit: I've definitely seen them. Apparently my brain is underclocked today.

I was at a US grocery chain today and came across some...misleading price tags. I took a couple pictures intending to post them to Lemmy before going to bed, but I don't know which community would be appropriate for such a thing. The closest I could think of is A Boring Dystopia, but it doesn't seem quite right there.

John Oliver had an episode where the main story answers your question.

Basically, if you donate your body "to science" there's a chance it could end up with such a company. I wouldn't call it ethical, but as of now it's legal.

When you forget what you were about to say:

"Must not have been important"

How in the ever-living fuck could anybody come to that conclusion?

Grab 'em by the kernel.

Harassment? Once there's physical contact isn't it assault?

My favorite thing about the jet fuel argument is that it's actually true. It's irrelevant, but it's true.

Redditors tend to be more technically inclined than Twitter users

This used to be true, but Reddit has been mainstream for years now. Today's average Redditor is likely pretty similar to the average Twitter user.
